Sup people i haven't spoken in a while on this board but i look too you's for some good advice> right now my hair i almost or getting to 3 1/2 inches .. its n ot much but i havent had this much hair in ages like since i was 7. Any way I have been using gel consistanly to get my hair slicked back. like a month and a halp, I don't know if its healthy or not. Also im thing about getting cornrows or braids to control my hair. THen thers my job and my parents. My parents think cornrows or braids are not for me and i should cut my hair!!. ANd my father said he 'd kick me out of the house if i got cornrows or braids... (he said the same thing when i had a mohawk lol it never happened) so does any 1 have advice or tips for a person like me with my hair. cornrows are kinda a last resort and i think the gel is killing my hair ... THANK S PEOPLE
Btw if i had a picture camera or somthign i would love to post a pic so you guys can give me some ad vice ... in addition to my last post this is i guess my hair type ... ( when i was younger curly hair,) Now wavy hair, some curls extremly poofie ,gel weighs it down,hair length is in the range or 2-4 inches different is certain areas..hair used to go foward like ceasar hair cut .. but now slicked back ( btw it hurt the first weeks i slicked it back.. i guess because it wasn't used to it... (???) thanx
Hi :-)
I'd strongly advise against the cornrows. Those type of braids are damaging to the hair. What happens is the braids are small and the hair is braided in rows along the scalp. This puts a lot of stress on each hair, and when you lie on all those tighly braided hairs that are close to the scalp it causes breakage.
Hope this helps,

Gel or wax will not kill you rhair, really. take some smooth gel or wax or also oil (jojoba) and than slick your hair back It will help you to come over the weeks your hair will grow out. Go your way!
