this is exactly why i don't even consider listening to people like that marvin.
i think you should only seek advice from marvin, cathy howse, etc, if you really tried a million things and absolutely nothing works for your hair. but if your routine is working and you see improvement i would never ever listen to one of those people.
like i said to each their own and maybe one or the other advice they give might work but always remember just cause it worked for their hair does not mean it will work for everybodies. this is another thing, black hair is not black hair. i mean come on, pleeeease. i know what works for my hair and i will keep air drying it and blow dry it, braid it and maybe wrap it every now and then.
girl don't stop air drying your hair, it's the best you can do for it although rollersets are good too. but if you go to other hair boards and look you will see that everybody will tell you that air drying is the best thing to do right after lots of conditioning.
i don't want to be mean or nothing, but do remember that all these hair stylists do make money and they want to continue making money.
i think there is more advice here on this board than from one hair stylist.
i think to achieve and maintain healthy hair you should do some basice things:
wash it on a regular basis (it depends on your hair how many times a week/month)
condition-condition-condition
keep your ends moisturized
stay away from heat as much as possible
do hot oil treaments
be gentle with your hair
i don't know i am a little upset right now. on top of all that the girl who went to marvin (was it daviine) had to pay $104??????????????? noooo way
there are so many girls on this board with healthy nice looking hair who have not been to marvin.
like i said stick with what is working for you and don't keep paying hundreds of dollars for an analyse.
your mirror is the best analyser you can have and if you are brutally honest with yourself you know (!) what you did wrong with your hair (in most cases at least) and you do know what to avoid or not to be lazy anymore. and like i said if you really want advice you will always get it here on the board without paying anything. plus you won't just get one but usually more than one opinion.
i am soo sorry but i had to let this out /images/graemlins/angeldevil.gif
nay (i hope i didn't get anybody mad, but if i did let me know so we can talk about it)
