...if we followed their advice. Check this out!

"Trim the ends of your hair every two to four weeks to minimize split-ends and maintain healthy hair. You don't need to drastically clip them, but approximately 1/4 inch should be sufficient."

"Protect your permanent color by using styling aids such as gels and holding sprays since they tend to help the color last longer. But they also cause build-up so occassional use of specialty shampoos for color-treated hair is a good idea. More than likely the manufacturer of the product used to color your hair has a special line of shampoos and conditioners that are designed to maintain your colors vibrance. Check 'em out."

"Your hair should be relaxed every 6-8 weeks but for those who maintain shorter styles, more frequent relaxing may be necessary. As a rule, it's best to wait until you have at least an inch of newgrowth before having your hair touched-up. This way you should be able to distinguish between the newgrowth and the rest of your hair."

Wow, it's so sad how many women are going to follow this stupid advice and will wonder for YEARS why their hair isn't getting longer.

Ghee Wiz, she sounds like my former stylist!

She believed that in order to maintain my hair style I needed to add HOT heat daily.

I have a friend who has 4b hair. She relaxes her hair at least bi-weekly. Just today she relaxed her hair again and she had relaxed it last week.She uses extra strenght relaxer. I'm not sure what the effect will be in the long run.

When "oiling your scalp," don't oil your scalp unless you're trying to combat excessive dryness. Heavy pomades maybe needed during periods when your scalp is unusually dry, but in general, light cremes and oils work better for everyday maintenance. Lubricate your hair by applying the oil to the hair closest to the scalp and the brush or comb the oil to the ends.

YIKES!
