@TheCameroonianGirl15 Seriously? That's awful! If you've tried again, maybe she won't notice (until it's too late) if you do some blending styles.

If you going natural I will say using the following acne medication

1.Neutrogena on the spot acne treatment the vanishing cream.

2.Scarzone tea tree cream.

Ladies if you are prone to acne because of the oil you use for your hair this two products work wonders. try them you will have no regret wait when you are using them do not use anything else

@esohe81 it's not that they are bad for the hair. it's just that our hair is prone to dryness. because of our kinks and coils our strands aren't saturated with sebum. SLS/ALS strips our hair completely of the little oils we do have. so unless diligent deep conditioning follows, one can say harsh sulfates used frequently are "bad" for our hair type. increased dryness leads to breakage which inhibits growth. they're just harsh detergents we should avoid since moisture and growth is the goal
