<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm Gina aka Natural Belle, I'm a mother, PR consultant, blogger and occasional columnist <wbr></wbr>originally from South London but now living the country life in leafy Berkshire with my partner and daughter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been natural since 2007, but worn my hair in it's natural state more often then relaxed but officially my last dalliance with the 'creamy crack' was 2007. My decision was purely based on aesthetics, I think curly hair looks better on me than when it's polka straight. I've always been quite experimental with my hair whether it comes to the cut or the colour. I'm currently wearing my hair in a short Mohawk style.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I started Natural Belle as a place to keep myself inspired, hence my url hairspiration. 5 years ago there was just a handful of blogs and no magazines featured predominately natural hair styles and styling tips. So to keep me from going back to relaxed I keep a blog as place to keep images I'd found (remember this was before pinterest and tumblr!) that turned into me blogging about my own hair journey and it snowballed after that.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Consistency was the key to my blog, I blogged constantly, and tried to not do things that other bloggers were not doing. I also had a helping hand in the early days being featured on blogs like BGLH and The fashion bomb helped to further my reach, social media is great for networking and getting to know other bloggers. nothing happened over night I blogged to about 150 followers for 2 years. But I blogged with the same passion that I have today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's always flattering being asked to do thing for magazines and press, It's great that bloggers views and opinions are being listened to by mainstream media. but it's just as cool being asked to do interviews for blogs </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There have been a few things, like hitting my first 1000 followers! I really couldn't believe it it felt great that that many people read and liked my blog enough to actually follow it! also getting the opportunity to write for Pride and Arise Online as I had read these publications for a long time and it was great to be apart of that. Also being tweeted by Solange Knowles and her saying she liked my blog! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You may have seen in my recent <a href="http://www.naturallylondon.com/p/curley.html" target="_blank">Pak cosmetic haul</a> that I
purchased a couple of products from the brand Macadamia Natural oil, I was super
excited about trying the product because I had heard such great things about
their brand. The brand is at the more expensive end of the market so I hoped
that the price reflects the quality of the products.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I started off by co- washing and detangling my hair, once my
hair was clean I continued to section my hair and distribute the product from
end to root making sure each section was saturated with the product. Once I was
done with one section to make it easy form myself I simply twisted the hair,
clipped it aside and moved on to the next one. (That got me singing Jay Z on to
the next one).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So upon opening the product I found the consistency to be
really thick, creamy and have an almost pearl like color to it. The color,
texture and look of the product r<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">eemphasized </span>that I was using a luxury product.
Another aspect that I really liked about the masque upon opening it was the
smell, it has a very sweet smell some may find it strong but I really liked it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This masque has a fair amount of slip on application to the
hair but a little goes along way, I found that even though the directions state
to use liberally I had a lot of excess product and this is something I would
monitor due to how expensive this repair masque is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Popped on a plastic cap, waited 7 minutes and then
thoroughly rinsed out the masque ensuring not to leave any product behind as
the ingredients are not all natural.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Overall I thought this product was great, I loved the texture of the product as well as how creamy & thick it was. I found the packaging suitable for the substance, also it was easy to apply which created less mess.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After using the repair masque my hair felt full of moisture and my curl pattern was amazing. Ok so the big question.... Is the repair masque worth the price? My personal opinion is yes, this is a repair masque, which means I would only purchase it when my hair is in need of some serious replenishment, I would not however bring this product into my hair regime as I feel it is to expensive to up keep, did like it but for me to spend £19.99 regularly I would need to be blown away. At this point I was really feeling myself , my curls felt soft but at the same time the definition was there. It was time to put in the... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Packaging Directions: Work small amount through towel dried clean hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well luvs I went from feeling myself to feeling like a dry sponge, that is the only way I can describe how this cream made my hair feel. It literally sucked all the moisture out my hair in one go. Ok let me be a little more professional about this. the packaging is really good, it has a great nozzle that you pump, this allows small amounts at a time to come out and keeps things really neat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The fragrance is exactly the same as the masque, I do like the fragrance as I said when using the repair masque but for a leave in conditioner I found it to be a little strong and annoying. The texture of the actual cream is really sticky and when I put it on my hair it felt like it was just coating my hair with stickiness rather than providing moisture. After using the cream my hair felt sticky,dry and just one big clump. I think you can see that my hair actually looked better in the first set of pictures after using the repair masque so that says a lot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had high hopes for this leave-in cream but I was really disappointed as it took me from cloud 9 to 0 in 2 seconds flat. I feel this leave in cream would be better on hair that has a wavy or straight curl patter, unfortunately it did not work well on mine.I will never repurchase this product again.</span></div>

Hi Rajdulari tell our readers a bit about
yourself? </span></h3>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hello
everyone! My name is Rajdulari, I’m a CurvyGirl, Jazz Vocalist &
Bandleader. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember! I started singing
when I was 3 years old in my family church, then had my first professional Jazz
gig at 17.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How did
Curvy to the Grammys start?</span></h3>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Curvy2TheGrammys
not just a slogan, it’s my personal promise and declaration to myself about the
future of my career! For as long as I can remember, I’ve had this dream of
winning a Grammy as a vocalist. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I’ve
always considered what I’m doing as my own personal “JourneytotheGrammys”. But
when we started the fundraising campaign for my latest album, my Business Coach
Jo-Na’ A. Williams & I started thinking about two main factors that I know
to be true about myself: 1) I’m a CurvyGirl, and 2) I’m on a mission to win a
Grammy for my achievements someday. So
after that, Curvy2TheGrammys became my campaign slogan!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What
has been the public’s reaction to Curvy to the Grammys?</span></h3>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">People
have really responded to it and I’m so glad they have! I think CurvyGirls
deserve more representation and more visibility in the music industry and in mainstream
media, so I’m grateful to see that everyone, not just women but men too, are
being really supportive of the slogan and the fundraising campaign J.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We pay
for the studio time, the musicians, the mixing and mastering. Basically,
everything that a major label would do, we have to do as an Independent Artist to
have our voices heard, and to compete with the major labels. So, having the
financial support of our fans and listeners really goes a long way and helps us
to reach our goals a lot faster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In a
world where we seem only to accept women who looks a certain way. Why did
you not conform to society version of beauty?</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Because
I truly believe that I have to present my OWN version of beauty. We all do! Why
should I choose to look like what society and the mainstream media say when I
can be my own individual and shine in my own light? That exactly the reason why
I wrote “Natural”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As
women, we see so many messages in society telling us that we aren’t “good
enough” or “small enough” or “fair enough” or whatever the model-type is. We
have to really embrace being our “Natural Selves” right here and right now. We
have to defy society’s definition of what a “Real Woman” is, and celebration
our real, natural selves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I know
for a fact that the more that we do that, the more that we promote healthy
images of OURSELVES in the media, the more that society’s “version of beauty”
will change and become more positive and inclusive of ALL women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Being
featured in Plus Model Magazine is always a true honor and a treat because I’m
not a big-time “Plus Model”. I’m more of a musician who happens to take a good
pic every now and then, lol! So, I’m always truly honoured when Plus Model
Magazine features me in their publication or mentions me on Facebook and
Twitter. I have a HUGE amount of respect for PMM’s Editor-in-Chief, Madeline
Figueroa-Jones. I’ve known her for several years and I truly admire her. She’s
an awesome Business Woman with an amazing work ethic, a real integrity. I also
love the fact that she always works very hard to represent CurvyGirls in the
most positive light possible. Maddy is definitely one of my sheroes!</span></div>

it’s fantastic! Just as we should celebrate who we are in our “Natural State”
we can also celebrate our hair as it grows out naturally. Now, that doesn’t
mean that ALL women have to be natural. By all means, you should wear your hair
however you see fit. But it is truly beautiful to see all these sistahs walking
around wearing their hair natural and loving it. It’s so inspiring to me!</span></span></div>

I’d been asked to perform in. At first, I wasn’t really sure that I could write
an anthem; I’d never been asked to do that before. But, as I started to think
about my own Journey <i>(about being a
CurvyGirl; about my natural hair journey; my thoughts about myself as a
vocalist, etc)</i> the words just began to flow out of me.</span></span></div>

the video was simply amazing. I sent out a “Dear Diva” letter to all of my
followers. In the letter, I asked all the CurvyGirls to participate in the
video shoot that happened this past April. I was truly surprised by the
responses we received. We actually ended up having to limit the amount of women
in the video because we just couldn’t accommodate everyone! It was truly an
awesome experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

on and on. And the awesome thing about it is they all were CurvyWomen with
their own definition of beauty! In the video, you really got to see their own
individuality come out in their scenes, it’s amazing to watch. I’m truly proud
of the song, of the video, and of the Divas themselves</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Everyone
has a purpose for their life. Every single one of us was born for a reason. And
yes, you may be feeling low right now, or feeling like you can’t possibly see
how your dreams could EVER come true. But you have to remember, you were given
your own special dream for a reason!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And if
you have a dream that you really want to see come true, you shouldn’t let <i>anyone</i> tell you that you’re too old, or
too big, or too poor, or any negative thing that might block you. You have to believe
in your dream 150%! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yes,
study your craft and know your strengths. Not everyone has a voice like Beyonce

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Being a
musician is a long hard road, but it pays off in a major way if you keep
grinding and you never give up. I’ve been in this industry for 14 years now and
things are just starting to pay off for me. And you know what? It <i>had</i> to take 14 years because I had some
really hard lessons that I needed to learn in order to be ready for this
career. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My rules when it comes to barbers is once you’ve found a good one… never change. There’s a reason why superstars like Diddy take their barber with them everywhere they go. </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don’t have that luxury but I have been going to the same barber for 14 years.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I surprised myself when I responded to a barber who asked me “do I want to cut”. I usually find it quite a desperate move when barbers and hairdressers try to get people to get their hair done by stopping them in the street. And like restaurants I judge a barbers by how busy it is and it was empty. But I gave the brother the benefit of the doubt because the shop just opened, I was on my way to my usual barbers, my time was very tight and I also thought it would be a great opportunity to review a new barbers and share my experience with you guys.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As a man with a Billionaire Mind Poor Pocket I was excited to hear the answer of £3 to my question “how much is a shape up?” Shape up is a safe way to try new barbers. Reason being if the new barber messes up your hair you can go back to your usual barbers and cut it all off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When I first sat down in the chair I realised that the array of clippers, products and sprays that I usually see was not there. I ignored the basic clipper set of one clipper and baby power and told the guy how I wanted my shape up “shave the beard and keep the moustache”. As we started chatting about life and Naturally London I noticed that my shape up was looking way too sharp I’m a young Londoner not Bobby Jones. So I checked my watch realised I was going to be late no matter what and made the executive decision to cut it all off. I asked for a ‘one level’ at 0.5 (which is a very low cut). As he cut my hair I felt the roughness of the clipper on my head. As I feared he used the same rough clipper on my head as he did on my face. I pulled all types of grimacing faces but to no avail he carried on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">He was a nice guy and told me about his time in London before I realised he was taking off the cloak and started to do the final touch ups. I kept looking at my hair like we’re not done yet. It was still uneven and the right side of my head was clearly longer than the left. He put the cloak back on and tried to rectify the problem. 5 minutes later my hair looked a lot better and I was ready to go. I was very happy when I gave him £10 is received £4 back. Wait, full hair cut only £6, wow I haven’t paid that amount in about 7 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When I got home I could feel the effects of the rough clipper my face as it had already started to feel sensitive and it wasn’t the closet shave I’ve ever had either. I washed my hair off with tresemme conditioner I would usually shampoo first then condition but I was running late so I skipped the shampoo. I checked out my hair in the mirror and found that I hadn’t had the best haircut of my life but with the price and service I was pretty happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It has now been one day since the cut and hair and my face is feeling really sensitive I also realised that the shape up at the back of my hair is too high. In the cold light of day I realised that my hair was still uneven, the top of my hair is still lower than the sides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My overall experience of 9ice barbers is its name sake, nice. It’s not the best barbers in London but if you are in the Dulwich/Peckham area it is better than most.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here are some shots after my cut... I know I look like I should cheer up but the people in the room kept highlighting more things wrong with my hair that I didn't notice like my sideburns being thicker than the rest of my hair (I did tell the barber that they were too high but he insisted making them lower will ruin the look).</span></div>

Like most boys Tasharn
doesn’t have time for endless deep conditioning treatments or days with leave
in conditioners. So I devised a quick wash and go for teenage boys. The good
thing about this treatment is it only takes 15 mins.</span></span><br />

Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo. A small amount of the shampoo
is effective for short hair. Massage into wet hair then rinse. If you not used to non sulphate shampoo you will be surprised that it does not lather but don't worry it does a much better job without the chemicals.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The lack of EASY access to natural products. They’re either really
expensive, hard to find, or just unavailable in the UK. I also hate the
weather! It has ruined so many really good hair days. Where is summer please?</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I transitioned for like 6 months (from December 2010, last relaxer –June
2011) but I couldn’t deal with the two textures. I just didn’t have the time or
the patience to wait. So I ended up doing my big chop myself one late night
with some paper scissors (I know better now).</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I still don’t know if I have a totally set regime. Everything depends on
what styles I’m doing. This is a rough break down: I co-wash about
once a week.</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I use a low sulphates shampoo once a month if I need too. In between,
1-2 times a week, I moisturise with a water-based leave in and then seal with
an oil.</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><span style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666;">First thing I had to do was create a mood
board so I could have an idea of how I wanted the hair, make-up and styling to
look like. From there I had to find models that were suitable for the
looks I was creating and also models who could catwalk. Once that was in place
I had to start work on the hair. I had to make sure that it fitted on the
models heads, so the models had to come in the salon about 3 times for a
fitting. I also had Harriet Cudjoe (creative director) helping me in
deciding the right garments for the models to wear as the designer had quite a
few items in the collection I wanted to use. We met up with the designer, Jose
Hendo to try the garments on the models and decide how to style the garments to
create the samurai look. I had to decide what kind of make-up to do on the
models, also finding the right music was very important because I wanted music
that kept to the theme of the collection. That is why I chose to use a
track by “Yoshinda Brothers- storm” Japanese musicians. The models also
had to come to the salon for rehearsals to practice the walk they would do for
the show.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; line-height: 1.0791666666666666;">Therefore, a lot of work went into creating

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">I have been battling my thinning hair
for about a year (mainly in my temples and my crown). I say battling what I
really mean is looking in the mirror fretting then acting like I didn't care
that my hair is falling out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br />
After a couple of very stressful months I realised that my hair was beginning
to thin. With the knowledge that I had a random bald patch appear at the back
of my head in my teens and it went a few months later I thought I would have no
problems growing the hair back. Also all the men in my family have loads of
hair especially my granddad who is 80+ with a head full of pure grey Ghanaian
Afro.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br />
One day I decided that the patch will not go on its own so I called for help
from a little bottle called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/beauty/dp/B000EGIF9S" target="_blank">Organic Root Stimulator Fertilizing
Serum. </a> At first my hair started picking up, I noticed that my
hair was starting to thicken. But like most men I got tired of putting products
in my hair twice a day and I eventually stopped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br />
After months of stopping and starting my hair regime I realised that it was
time for a change so last week I decided to buy<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Groganics-Hair-Gro-N-Wild-6-Ounce/product-reviews/B001MIN85S" target="_blank">Groganics Hair Gro-N-Wild</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Groganics-Grotivator-Growth-Moisturizing-Lotion/dp/B000VIGIK2" target="_blank">Groganics Dht Grotivator Growth
Moisturizing Lotion </a> Both products contain the patented DHT
Blocking System. According to <a href="http://www.belgraviacentre.com/blog/what-is-dht/" target="_blank">The Belgravia Centre<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"> </span></span></a> DHT is a chemical derivative of
testosterone, the male hormone, and is the main cause of hair loss in both men
and women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br />
I was very cautious when I read the</span><span style="color: #6b6b6b; font-family: 'Courier New';"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">ingredients and saw that the
products contained mineral oil and petroleum both of which are known to reek
havoc on black hair. But I was desperate and with the other option spending £70
on Moroccan Oil, Groganics was the only logical option. Hense the title 'Grow
your hair or go bald trying'. I will use the two products <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Groganics-Hair-Gro-N-Wild-6-Ounce/product-reviews/B001MIN85S" target="_blank">Groganics Hair Gro-N-Wild</a> (rub
into troubled areas twice a day) and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Groganics-Grotivator-Growth-Moisturizing-Lotion/dp/B000VIGIK2" target="_blank">Groganics Dht Grotivator Growth
Moisturizing Lotion</a> as an additive to my moisturiser <a href="http://www.amazon.com/TRESemme-Naturals-Nourishing-Moisture-Conditioner/dp/B003RSY1NE" target="_blank">Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture
Conditioner</a> (it is a wash out conditioner but I use as leave in)and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/KTC-Almond-Oil-B-P-Sweet/dp/B004XTDQGE" target="_blank">KTC Almond Oil</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><br />
I have dramatically reduced the amount of products and oils that I use in my
hair to see what really works for me (apparently I'm the male equivalent of a
product junkie) Below are pics of my hair right now I will update you guys
every 2 weeks to see how I progressed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Natural hair requires combs and brushes with wider teeth, this is so that the chance of pulling out hair is kept to a minimum. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">8. Stay sulphate free</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Washing and conditioning your hair is one the biggest parts of your natural hair journey.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">9. Oil up</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">10. Forget Them and Remember Yourself</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You will be asked by some people why did you decide to go natural and try to put you off being your true self.
