I really appreciate this post because I have gone through some issues with my hair as well. I find that as my hair gets longer I have to be more dilligent about taking care of it and for me that is hard! I like Tanisha's winter regimen. It definitely gave me some tips on what I need to do to get and keep my hair as beautiful and healthy as possible.

Wow, your hair is just gorgeous! Your twist-outs are the best I have ever seen. Period. And I have seen literally hundreds.

Tanisha, thanks for the three-strand twist. This is why I love this blog. I learn something new all the time.

maralondon, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one because we're obviously coming from different experiences. I'm not sure what my age has to do with anything, but I've been around long enough. I was born and raised in the Caribbean, so I've experienced life in the Caribbean first-hand. If you were mixed, then natural hair was okay. If your hair fell into any other category, you got it straightened between 11 and 13. I've also been around rastas my whole life and I can tell you that they, nor their hair, was accepted in Caribbean society when I was growing up. Until recent years, they were only tolerated. Locks were considered unkempt, unprofessional and dirty. Many rastas could not get jobs in mainstream society. That was my experience. As common as locks are in Jamaica, many of my Jamaican friends have told me that they were not considered okay. The growth in popularity in locs in this country has influenced the acceptance of locs in other places. There will always be exceptions to the rule. It's great that you were raised to appreciate your hair, but in my opinion you do not represent the norm, especially among Caribbean people. One thing we can agree on is that what we do here in America influences what happens in the rest of the world. In my opinion, the more accepted natural hair becomes here, the more accepted it will be in other places.

Hi Ladies…I just came by to see my interview in action lol…

Thanks for all the love you guys are way too kind!

I wanted to add to the article and I forgot my major twisting tip, is that all my twists/twistouts are three strand twists! I found a ton of tutorials on youtube so I could get it right..lol…it just works out better since I braid the roots to go straight into a three strand twist rather than two….
