The Lord has helped you already. Lady.
Use mayonnaise ( yes good old mayo) on your hair instead of store bought conditioner. Massage it into the scalp then coat from root to end in a down ward motion. Cover with a cap for 20 mins. You can mix the mayonnaise with extra virgin olive oil. Wash out with mild shampoo.
Also, use black tea to rinse your hair. If you like you could also use rosemary.
All these would strengthen the hair from the root, reduce breakage, and sustain growth. Believe me. I would know. I have run the gamut from Miss Jessie’s, Jessigurl, Shea Moisture, Beemine, Cantu, Elasta QP, ORS and my hair still shed like crazy until I humbly returned to my trusted allies. They don’t smell as nice but they Definitely get the job done.
Yours in kinky goodness.

Gate ke? Was that a prerequisite for entry?
I would have attended this program in braids or some weave of some nationality, just like I always rock me. Been natural for a while. Never carried the hair by itself. It’s nobody’s bi’ness but mine. Simples.

oooh look at these luscious hairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They all look fantastic. However, if I ever have an event, I will ban phones. It makes my blood boil when people bring out their phone in a social gathering: so, for the 1 or 2 hours duration you are at an event, you cannot just be at the event? Keep that phone in your bag and if you must use it excuse yourself, do your business and come back. ahh! rant over. lol.
@Leah: I am VERY liberal with my definition of natural hair. lool. I consider permed and relaxed hair natural hair too.. so long as its your hair in whatever state it is and its not some sort of weave or add on. loool.
I just waka come...

It always seems amazes me.
People at parties, clubs, even the cinema in deep concentration over their phone.
You mean you left the privacy of your home, to meet with people only to have a conversation with your phone???
