notesonascandal asked: Hey Fran,
To the person with the question about the order of moisturizing and sealing:

Water/Water-based product > Oil > leave-in

Anonymous asked: Hey Fran-Im contemplating getting a stand up steamer but still don't know for sure. I have a stand up dryer that I use for deep conditioning, but I hear steamers give even more moisture. What has been your experience? Did you switch from regular dryer heat when deep conditioning to steaming or have you always used steamer?
Thanks

toocoolforlife asked: Hey Fran,
I was wondering if you could help me with my hair problem. When my hair is straight, it reaches my shoulders but whenever I wear it natural, it's about 2 inches long. What can I do to prevent it from shrinking that much?

Vegan Banana & Chocolate Chip Oat Squares →
iamsuperbuds: I know, I said “vegan”, but don’t be scared, these actually taste like a normal baked treat. I had an abundance of overripe bananas on my counter (surprise, surprise) so I thought I’d try out this recipe that I found at A Bicycle Built for Two. Here we go: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Anonymous asked: Hey Fran I just have a really quick question if you don't mind answering. Will your hair grow faster if you just chop off all of the permed length at one time or will it grow at the same length as if you were transitioning?
Thank you. =)
