Hi Everyone:
I'm new to this list, well actually I'm new to all lists. I'm not even sure which forum I should address my questions, so I figured this was a good start.
I'm a 46 yo mixed-race woman. I have worn my hair naturally curly for years, but tend to keep it quite short because when I have tried to grow it out, it tends to literally grow out, rather than down. After reading through this form, however, I am ready to give it another try.
I think I probably have 3b/c hair and it is around 3 inches long now, just sort of a round cut. Does anyone have any suggestions re the best way to grow it out. Should I part it at some point? What do I do with the frustrating flyaways that keep getting wind blown? How do I get it all one length, should I keep cutting the back until it is all one length?
Thanks for any advice you could share.[/b]

The one thing I would advise -- is to go to a salon that has professionals trained in Curly hair.
This is a great site. I'm getting some good advice from here and I'm sure you will also.
Take care ...:-)

Playing with my hair is a hobby. Fluffy, fine natural 4a. Goal= Healthy, beautiful hair that retains its length.
Thanks for the responses!

I have already learned a lot from this site and my product choices reflect that. I also stopped brushing and now just use a comb and fingers.
