I Have A Problem With Black Textured Hair. It’s Full On Top And Weak At Back. Can It Grow All Around? Thanks.

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

My black-textured hair has always grown in layers. For years I’ve never had my hair grow past my neck. Even after having gotten “Jeri curls” it still won’t grow. I’ve used so-called “miracle gro” product after “miracle gro” product and taken hair vitamins but still to no avail! I shampoo my hair at least twice a week, and sleep with a satin bonnet-like cap that I purchase from beauty supply stores nightly to prevent breakage, but still my hair grows full on the top, and weak at back. The lady that does my hair, says that I should refrain from getting a curl for a while, and let my hair grow out in a “natural” to give my hair a rest from all the chemicals. I last had my hair done in November of 2006, and still I haven’t noticed any significant growth. I even have a little “bald spot” at the top of my scalp in back that really is bothering me! She said that I may be in the early stages of “male pattern baldness” which I don’t agree with because I see hair growing in that area.

Black Male Hair Problem S-curl Balding?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

About 6 months ago i put a s-curl in my hair which is the same thing as a perm.If you dont know what that is just try to picture the 1940s 1950s 1960s straight silky hairstyle of black males.Anyway the i dont know what happened and now its seems that the right side and the ride back side of my hair is thin and all screwed and wont grow back.Im already suffering from thinning hair at the temples and im not sure if my thinning is male pattern baldness.But i dont think that male baldness ever occurs on the side of your hair and i dont think i have diffusse thinning.SO my question is is there anything that fixes permed hair for black men cause this is depressing
