nipsndnaps asked: I just got a juicer. Do you have any juicing recipes?
defeatmenot asked: I'm allergic to synthetic hair but I can't afford human hair for kinky twists/braids. It just makes my scalp really itchy and sometimes I get these nasty pimple things. Anyway, do you know any oils or something that can help ease the itchiness? I have a jojoba oil, tea tree, coconut and water mix to spray on to avoid dryness... but when I go to bed and the hair rubs on my scalp, that...

Natural Hair: Combing & Detangling →
Anonymous asked: HEY FRAN! Quick Question: If hair LOOKS and FEELS healthy without product, is it infact healthy? And if it is healthy without product, should product still be used to protect it? I find I like my hair without product but I use leave-ins, oils and moisturizers anyways because it's winter now and I feel like my hair would die without all that lol. Just wondering, thought I'd ask... Oh! And...

off2seethewizard asked: Hey Fran :) I've been transitioning for about 11 months now and I've been wearing braids for a little over a month and now I'm thinking about doing the big chop for the New Year. My relaxed hair is pretty long so I'm kind of iffy about cutting it yet because I'm not sure how the short hair will look but should I just go ahead and do it? Can I have some advice?
Anonymous asked: Hey Fran! I went through a (horrible) phase of straightening & dying my 4a-b hair. Needless to say it's been pretty brutal trying to restore my natural curls, but slowly it's happening.

tbw26 asked: Hi Fran, I am my 6th, almost 7th month of transitioning. Before I started getting relaxers, my hair was long and between the types of 3c-4 and very thick, and my mom couldn't do anything with it; hence why I got relaxers. But, now I want to go back to my natural curls and embrace it. At the moment, I style my hair with braidouts, twistouts, bantu knotouts, but I want to start using products...
