The Great Hair Debate

I've fought the good fight. Four years ago, I did the unthinkable (for me) and decided to wear my hair "natural." It's natural in that it doesn't have a relaxer to straighten it but I do color it so I guess it's not completely natural.  I discovered I do like my natural hair and the freedom. But, periodically I go back and forth trying to decide to keep the natural hair thing going or going back to using a relaxer.  I'm not alone; my friends and I discuss this often.

People often stop and ask me what I use on my hair and I always say it depends on your hair texture. Like everyone else, I experiment with new products and am always open to trying new lines. I recommend that you consult with your hair care professional about the shampoos, conditioners and other products that best fit your hair texture and hair style. What helped me was going to Urbanbella, located in Atlanta. They taught me to style my own hair and what products to use.

According to the Madam C.J .Walker Web site, there have been so many innovations in hair care products for black women since Madam Walker's day and so many new product lines on the market, that it is impossible to select just one company.
