  • Nina, do you blow dry every week after ur washes/?

  • @ShalondaWright No, during the warmer months I air dry.

  • Glad you are back. How often do you flat iron your hair? Do you find using products with silicone helps to eliminate the frizz on the natural hair?

  • @onecheapchic Lately I've been straightening wkly. Products that contains silicone definitely make my hair more managable, eliminates frizz and flyaways!

  • @Bxeautifulx And u would know, off to see pics of ur journey...lol!

  • Just wanted to say Nina those of us who KNOW you are aware you were almost waist length before you decided to go natural so I wouldn't even sweat the supposed young ladies on here spewing GARBAGE about your length. It is so comical that when you click on their pages there is NOTHING there except a bunch of rude comments about others not one uploaded hair video even though they comment on hair as if they are GURUS! Love you Honey keep up the good work!!! I've learned so much from You.
