(I'm exaggerating, I'm only 16, and I'm pretty sure it was longer when I was younger) and I'm wondering about a few things: If I stay healthy and take amazingly good care of my hair, how long should my hair be by the end of the year? Is it possible for my hair to reach waist, or even hip-length, or am I stuck at mid-back? If it is possible, how long should it take? Do you believe hair skin and nail vitamins really work? Is it necessary to trim split ends? I trimmed off the ends of my hair (for the first time in my life) a couple months ago and when I look I already have splits, so I get the feeling all I did was shorten my hair by about a quarter of an inch uselessly. Does it matter if I trim? Oh, also: my hair has been about mid-back for..for…ever!

I have natural hair, and have never (ever ever) straightened or relaxed it. I really feel sorry for the black women in the U.S. who are only now 'going natural', because they should have never gone unnatural in the first place. I'm happy to live in a (Caribbean) country where natural is normal, and that, while relaxing hair is done, we are not pressured to do as a means of fitting in, and twists, braids, and so on are seen on a regular basis (I always wonder though at the many girls here who DO relax their hair to make it more manageable only to have it fried in the hot Caribbean sun). Good luck on your journey. hi,

I've been natural for over 8 years and I know when I first started out, I would hear some of these terms and I'd be like "SAy, huh?". The terms can be kinda confusing to a natural hair newby.

A few months ago I decided that I was going to grow my natural hair out, my mom was fully behind and so were my friends. However, after 5 or 6 months I got completely discouraged. My hair was a mess I had not clue what to do with it so I got it relaxed and told myself that later on I would try again. But this time just a few short months later Have decided to start all over and this time isn't an attempt. I'm not one to NOT follow through like I did the first time, but I really had no idea what I was getting into. (Did I mention that I'm 16?) This helped A LOT it's been three or four months since my last relaxer but I still flatten my hair after every shampoo and condition, I plan on changing that and setting up some kind of plan for my hair. (like getting my hair done regularly in straw sets, braids, ect.) This has completely convinced me to go the natural way.

And I'm so glad ...or more than that, I don't know quite how to say it - it just warms my heart and makes me feel so good to hear people say things about hair and the importance and spiritual nature of it, that I have felt for so long and never quite been able to voice.
