Yup, and more.
In the past, the racists have gone overboard by posting pictures of dead black people..including children.
So we just tend to ignore and report the post.

Hi ladies, I have an indigo question::

After the FIRST 2 step indigo application,
Do you only apply indigo if you want to reapply (for blacker hair), or do you have to do the 2 step all over again?

Thanks in advance
 
I think if you just do indigo (which is really blue/purple) you won't get black.  I think the red of the henna is what helps to make the indigo black. 
 
But I'll let the experts answer that one. 
 
I haven't done it yet but I plan to hendigo once I reach my goal length.

Shocked That trolling thing is serious. they must really not have anything better to do with their lives. Anywhooo...Hello! I'm new and I'm happy this thread exists. My question is how long is okay to keep box braids(with my natural hair) in safely. I was thinking of keeping them in for 2 months while wearing wigs, beanies and the like for protections. I am on a one year braid challenge with myself but allowing a hairdresser to install synthetic braid for me makes me cringe. They don't know how to handle my hair. So I have decided to just braid up my own hair and be creative.

i doubt anyone will see this
 
but i've been transitioning for a while. I haven't had a relaxer since april 15th 2010
 
I've mainly been sticking to full head sew ins and braids.
 
I have a set of yarn braids in that i'm taking out this week but I'm kind of lost as to what I should do once I take these out.

I really hope someone responds, I NEED HELP FOR MY DAUGHTER!!!

My 14 year-old, bless her little heart, has decided she wants to go natural.  She has been getting relaxers since she was 5.  Her hair is EXTREMELY thick.  She hasn't had a relaxer since Easter 2012 and since I just had Thanksgiving leftovers, I reckon it's been a little over seven months.  During the transition, we've been doing keratin straighteners and braids to keep her hair under control.  (Freshman year is tough when you live in a small town (18,000+ people) that is 60% white, 30% Mexican and 10% shared between everyone else.)

I don't know what her curl pattern number or letter is.  I know that it is coiled like an old skool phone cord and the diameter is about 1/2 to 1 centimeter.  

Her hair is extremely dry and thirsty.  I can't seem to keep it moisturized.  When it's not in braids, it gets washed with Ion Keratin shampoo and conditioner, a blow dry and a "quick" low heat hot comb (we're talking sections that are 1"-2" thick). When it's blow dried out, her hair goes down to the base of her neck, but when it's wet, she has a TWA.

I'm worried about sending her to school with a TWA.  But I'm extremely proud of her boldness to embrace her natural in the land-o-straight and silky.  I'm not brave enough to ditch the creamy crack just yet.  I've tried.  I'm chicken.  We're both sick of braids.

What do we do for her moisture?
How much time do we have to devote to her hair care during the week?
How do we begin to stretch her curl pattern out a little?
I keep reading about V05 - would that really work for her hair as thick as it is?

HELP!!!!

@ms.nini, i am going to try to respond to your questions, and i hope others will chime in as well:

What do we do for her moisture?
how often are you washing her hair?  and how often are you doing the keratin treatment?  i believe that treatment is pretty drying so you should be really upping your moisture.  how often do you moisturize between washes?  and what do you moisturize with?  you also mentioned braids - what is your routine for moisturizing when the braids are in?

How much time do we have to devote to her hair care during the week?
it depends on the state of her hair and what it needs.  for example, is it breaking?  does she do a lot of swimming in chlorinated water?

How do we begin to stretch her curl pattern out a little?
you can try braids/cornrows or twists/flat twists on her own hair and then undo them - these styles tend to stretch the hair a bit.

I keep reading about V05 - would that really work for her hair as thick as it is?
it depends on what you are using the v05 for...do you want to detangle with it?  it might, if you take small sections.  you have to try it and see.  for example, i use suave naturals as a detangler and it is pretty good.  i have tried the v05 and i have to use it in small sections to detangle, but it works.  and the price, you can't beat!  these two conditioners (used by themselves) do nothing for moisture on my hair though.  i have thick, kinky hair.

ack!  i am going to be better about checking this thread from here on out.  i remember when i was a newbie, i would ask questions in this thread and i would be so sad when no one responded....

so, did you figure out what to do?  how is your hair doing?
