do you think all dis processing of hair every so often will stress out yuh head enough till it stop grow back?

Do you think it's worth the possiblility of all this stress pan yuh (head) hair dat in the future you have other problems?

Are these chemicals weh colour your hair safe or do they cause cancer or sittin else over time?

Re: Hair

i've been getting hair relaxers from mi tun 8 years old. mi is well pass 8 now and i've not experienced the situations that you described. however, who knows, right?

i will say this...

haircare is time consuming and can be very expensive. just like the human body, what works for one person's head may not work for the next person. your hair (just like your nails and your body) need proper nutrition (which is internal and eventually comes to the outside). most women want a "look" and the people they trust with their hair (to give them that look) are business people that wont tell them (a lot of the time) the look they seek isnt something their hair can support.

i find that the woman with damaged/peal off head are the woman that tried to do something to their hair that their hair could not manage, they began a process that they couldn't finish (either because of time, money, patience, wadeva). some people are just made to have short hair or thin hair, or thick/long hair. it works the same for broad hips, long nails, dry skin, etc. one must care for what they are born with.

as for the cancer thingy...i find that question interesting. i mean you hear about pregnant women being told to be careful about certain hair processes...which make me think, if she shouldn't do it while prego why can she do it when she isnt.

but just like anything in life (smoking, drinking, eating, walking across the street), one has to do what they must do for themselves....

ilp gwine step dung fram har soapbox now.....

Re: Hair



I agree with ILP. I have relaxed my hair for a very long time and dont have those kind of problems. It depends on what u are doing to your hair because like ILP says, not every head of hair can take the same type of processing.

Especially women who love to follow fashion vs deciding if a particular thing is suitable for their hair.

I got my hair colored last night but not the way I wanted it. My hair is really healthy but I would have had to add a bit of bleach to the get the color I wanted. My hair cant handle that in this dry climate so I changed the approach. It's when u dont pay attention to such things that you will have problems with u hair down the road.

This can then lead to alopecia.

Once, in a moment of sheer idleness, I estimated that I had had over 60 relaxer touch-ups in my lifetime.

I do try and promote them, but then again I can't force my ideas on people. To each her own.

I do think it would be safer to wait until a child is in her teens or even a young adult before putting chemcals on their heads though. Nobody really knows what kind of havoc that stuff could wreak on children's development.
