P.R.P Method.........

PLATELET- RICH PLASMA or "PRP" has been used to help heal orthopedic injuries, but using PRP to grow hair, it's a field that's in infancy.
THE PROCESS :
1: The patient's own blood is taken and spunt down so that just the PRP plasma is present.
2: That plasma, which is rich in human growth factors, is then injected into the patient's numbed scalp.
The belief is, that it's targeting a constant stimulation of hair so it stays in the growth cycle.
PRP, may be a welcomed alternative for women and men with hair loss.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy isn't cheap and there aren't reams of scientific data proving it works, but the idea in theory that it should work may be enough to pull patients in.

 THE BENEFITS OF BEING NATURAL


1. Versatility

One of my favorite things about having gone natural is how versatile it is. When I relaxed my tresses I could only style my hair in about 3 ways that actually looked good. Whenever I wanted to wear it in a cool style I always had to go to a hairstylist.
I once read in a book written by a white male hairstylist that said the downside to black women wearing their hair natural is that they don't have a lot of styling options, but he didn't know what he was talking about. Now that I've been natural I have worn my hair in about 10 different styles and there's so many more to try.
A Kinky texture can shrink up to 80% of its real length when it's wet and my hair does exactly that. At first shrinkage was something that I wanted to fight, but now I go with it because it gives me a lot of versatility too. I can look like I have a short cut the first few days after I shampoo my hair. But then if I decide to twist it or style it during the days that follow my strands stretch more and more and can look longer.
I just feel like I have so many options now that I wear my hair natural. It can be short or long, and I can wear it kinky, curly or straight depending on what mood I'm in.
2. Uniqueness

Another benefit to going natural is that it's unique. The majority of African American women still wear their hair relaxed so for the most part I'm usually the only one wearing my hair natural whenever I'm around other women in my race, so I always stand out.
When I wore my hair relaxed I always felt like I looked like everyone else. I felt so bored and unoriginal but now I always feel like an individual even when I'm around other women who wear their locks natural.
It's really rare that I see someone who's wearing their hair the same way I do, but even if I did we'd still look completely different. Natural hair has so many different textures, it can range from silky and wavy to coarse and kinky, and those extremes can be found on the head of one person. Everyone's hair does its own thing, so even if you're wearing the same hairstyle as a fellow naturalista you both can look original.
3. Healthier Hair

Another pro to being natural is that my strands have never been healthier. When I had a relaxer I knew that my hair was considered damaged because relaxing strips the hair cuticle. My hair was very dry during that time but I always thought it was in fairly good condition because it was always thick and long and I didn't have a lot of hair breakage.
But now that I'm natural I see a big difference with my hair and my scalp. I thought my hair was thick before but it is extremely thick now, and each strand of hair on my head is strong and healthy.
Before strands would break off whenever I combed it, now I would literally have to use both hands and a lot of force to break a strand. I used to get split ends religiously every 5-6 weeks when I relaxed my hair, now I don't get split ends at all, and I can go months without trimming my hair.
Because I had to trim my hair so often my hair would stay at the same length for months when I had a relaxer. But now, in a little over a year, my hair has grown back close to the length it was when I cut it all off. And I'm sure my natural hair will surpass that length within 4 or 5 months.
Also my scalp is completely different. It's no longer dry and itchy and I don't have to worry about a relaxer burning and irritating it and then leaving scabs in my head for days.
4. It's Cheap

The first few months after I went natural I really thought that I had to buy a ton of expensive specialized products, but I was wrong. When my hair was shorter I used a lot of different products to tame it. But the longer it gets the more I just learn to just work with my texture and I've realized just how low-maintenance my tresses are.
I found out that the product my hair loves the most now is just water. Now the only styling products I use are a leave-in conditioner and some kind of hair oil, and gel occasionally.
I LOVE IT 
I used to like my hair before when I relaxed it. But now that I've gone natural I love it. My hair has so much character and life now and it's so interesting. It can make me look cool and rock star-ish and other times it can look regal and sophisticated.
I get a lot of compliments on it now from people who just want to tell me that they like my hair and they think it's cool.
In the End
I've found that wearing my hair natural looks, feels, and is totally different than wearing my hair natural. I didn't know if I would prefer wearing my hair natural over wearing it relaxed, but now that I am 100% natural I love it and couldn't imagine relaxing it ever again because there are so many benefits to it.

 YOUR LITTLE ONE'S NATURAL HAIR

Despite the increasing visibility of natural hairstyles, some people just aren't feeling the love. Too many young black children get the idea that their hair isn't "good" enough unless it's "fixed." All too often, that mindset starts at home. Don't perpetuate this cycle if you want to raise kids with a healthy attitude toward all hair textures.

1. Praise

Children thrive off praise, and if you want to let your kids know their hair is fine in its natural state, telling them early and often is one of the best ways to make them feel positive about their curls, kinks or waves. The phrase "good hair" should be left in the dust, but if you must use it, make sure it has nothing to do with texture; instead, it should be about hair's health. Healthy hair is good hair and it has nothing to do with numbers, types or textures. Well-cared for locks are beautiful whether they hang loosely or hug the scalp with affection.
It can be as simple as "your hair is beautiful" or as detailed as pointing out every single thing you love, including the softness, the way it hangs or how cute it is first thing in the morning.

2. Good care Habits

Most children won't be able to care for their own hair until they're at least in their preteens, so it's important for the adults in their lives to take great care of a kid's tresses until they're old enough to take on the responsibility themselves. This includes regular shampooing and conditioning with products designed for young scalps. It also includes positive language during the grooming process. Let's face it, though: some children hate having their hair combed or brushed, and not surprisingly, you end up dreading hair styling sessions because you know you're going to be met with a lot of crying, whining and fussiness. In cases like that, select simple styles; your little princess doesn't have to sport five hundred braids if the process is an ordeal -- two ponytails are perfectly acceptable! Just make sure your child's hair remains well-moisturized and clean. Following a regular routine such as weekly shampooing and conditioning gets kids in the habit of expecting it. When you place emphasis on caring for their hair, they'll begin to see the value in it.

3. Get their input on styles 

You don't have to be a styling wizard to create some cute hairdos. If your daughter wants something elaborate, a visit to a professional (or your mom) may be in order, but for everyday, you and your kids should be able to decide together on styles that work. When children are old enough to express how they want to wear their hair, getting their input goes a long way toward ensuring they'll be happy with the style. At the very least, trying new hairdos gives you some practice. Sometimes, it won't work out exactly how the both of you want, but you're getting quality time in. Letting girls choose (safe) accessories also helps, whether it's elastic headbands, colorful barrettes or slippery scrunchies.

4. Point out the beauty of Natural Hair

See someone on television, in a magazine or in a film with gorgeous natural hair? Point it out to your kids. They'll pick up on your positive messages and have an appreciation for various textures. It's important not to get hung up on loose/wavy hair as being some type of standard; that's only going to continue to message that certain hair textures are "good" while others are "bad." Make an effort to praise all types of natural hair, including various lengths and colors.
Looking for other ways to describe hair besides good or bad? Try:
  • Soft
  • Thick
  • Pretty
  • Fuzzy
  • Cottony

5. Be an Example

One of the best ways to encourage natural hair love in your children is to be a natural hair ambassador yourself. In fact, some parents (like myself) made the decision to return to natural roots because of their kids. It can be awkward telling your young daughter that her hair is beautiful the way it is while you manipulate yours with various methods to make it look like something else. Girls often want to look like their mothers, so if you embrace your texture, it'll be much easier for her to embrace hers.

 



FROM RELAXED TO NATURAL


Dryness and breakage are two of the most challenging aspects of growing out natural hair from relaxer. While chemical processing can cause dryness, natural hair is often dry as well because curls prevent the scalp natural oils from freely distributing over the length of the hair strand. Transitioning hair is more prone to breakage because the area where the natural hair texture meets the relaxed hair is very fragile. Overcoming these challenges requires using the right products and styling techniques.



Step 1:

Use protective hair styles to minimize breakage while growing out your natural hair. Sew-in weaves, braids and wigs can be used to create attractive hair styles while avoiding the use of damaging high heat. These styles also minimize breakage by limiting the amount of time you spend manipulating your hair.


Step 2:


Shampoo weekly, using a mild, moisturizing shampoo. Use the tips of your fingers to gently massage the shampoo into your scalp and then rinse the shampoo out by stroking your hands down the length of your hair to move the suds down and to the ends. After rinsing out the shampoo, apply a moisturizing conditioner. 

Use your fingers to comb the conditioner through your hair, carefully untangling the new growth. Then separate the hair into sections and use a wide tooth comb to distribute the conditioner through the hair. For extra conditioning, put your hair up into a plastic chemical processing cap and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing. Apply a cream leave-in conditioner and then seal in moisture by applying a natural oil such as olive oil or jojoba oil.

Step 3:

Deep condition your hair every two weeks to strengthen it. Wash your hair as you normally do, and then apply a protein or reconstructive deep conditioner to your hair. Cover your hair with a chemical process cap and sit under a hooded dryer for 20 minutes or as directed by the manufacturer. Rinse and proceed as normal by applying your leave-in conditioner and oil.

Step 4:

Keep your hair moisturized daily. Apply a cream leave-in conditioner to your hair before combing. Detangle carefully, then rub a natural oil through the length of the strands.

Step 5:

Cut off your relaxed hair. You can either cut all the relaxed hair off at one time or trim a little bit off every month as your natural hair grows out. Remember, the sooner you cut off the relaxed hair, the less time you will have to spend managing two hair textures.

Less is more......



 When it comes to very young heads, try to remember that less is more.
A toddler doesn't need the volume of products on her hair that her mother might. There's no need for gel, pomade or even curl-enhancers. Instead, let a child's hair flourish on its own with a daily brushing (with soft-bristle brushes), combing and a small amount of hair oil or conditioner. A spritz from a water bottle can help work through tangles if necessary. To finish off the style, one or two barrettes is fine, but avoid:
  • Metal accessories
  • Tight styling
  • Extensions
  • Rubber bands
  • A heap of product
  • Heavy, goopy products
Young scalps are still developing and a child's true hair texture may not reveal itself until he or she is at least eight years-old. If a tender head is subject to harsh treatment on a daily basis (including chemical processes), it's possible that a child's hair will be permanently damaged, leading to hair loss.
It's very common for babies to have odd hair growth patterns. They may have a full, lush patch on top with bald sides. They may be nearly bald all over. While this may be annoying for parents of a girl who want everyone to know she's a girl, slip a pink fabric headband over her head and call it a day. There's no need to wrestle with trying to get two little strands of hair into a barrette.
Your baby's hair will grow and flourish if mostly left to its own devices. Use gentle shampoos and gentle techniques when combing or brushing. Beyond a little water and oil, you don't need to do much else to it. Before you know it, your son or daughter will have a head full of hair that you can then braid, plait, cut into cute styles and accessorize. Below are some suggestion's on detangler's,  shampoo's, and moisturizer's to help keep your child's hair looking refreshed every time you do it.
