Good morning! Whew! This is a long educational video answering all the questions that came up from the last hair-related video. Questions like: Is apple cider not a solution to synthetic hair? What about human hair ? Is it safe? Where does it come from? What alternatives do we have if synthetic hair is bad?
It took me literally about 4 days to edit this video and I hope you find it worth it. Looking forward to your thoughts on the issues raised.
links in the description box above.
@Kenton-Habiba Great job Habiba! I've often wondered how Africans braided hair with extensions BEFORE SYNTHETIC was invented. I thought maybe it was with horse hair....
🔹️I hope the companies using Banana fibre can patent their work and create the wealth our Motherland needs, without exploitation from NON Africans.
🔹️Another important topic you could do is HAIR COLOR. Some contain lead.... Btw, I think you have enough videos like this to create a PLAYLIST called: Things that affect our health... Keep up the good work!💙
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am new to your channel and am amazed to its content. I absolutely agreed with you about synthetic hair. I just removed it from my braids. I only use a tiny bit of synthetic hair to braid my hair before applying human hair extensions. I am Christian and been addicted to human hair many years. I love it and have been blessed by God in many ways that I also believe hearing someone ‘ hair isn’t a problem. However, I have been avoiding Chinese products as they are not good. I have been doing my own natural hair oil instead by chemicals stuff which aren’t good to black hair.
I do braid my hair with human hair. It gives a natural look and in fact human hair when well treated it can last you years.
Thank you for watching and commenting! Welcome to our UA-cam family 🤗🌸
Ladies, we should be so grateful to be getting this information. Her first video inspired me to trash all my hair extensions. My husband helped me and it was a very emotional experience because I was so upset that I had been duped for years! I’m now just rocking my own hair and it is beautiful. I did the big chop last year after stopping relaxers in 2022. For me, this is a big wake up call and I’m embracing my own hair. I hope others do the same.
I wish I could like this a million more times!
I stopped relaxing as well and did the big chop in December. Never going back to braids.
@@rommytize - Congratulations! You won’t regret it. I don’t miss the burn from relaxers or the itchy scalp from synthetic braiding hair. Also, I just saw a video of a lady that ordered a wig from Amazon and she caught some type of infection from it. If it’s not my hair I’m not rocking it! These hair manufactures are not concerned with our health so we have to take our power back!
@@adedayoread6668 - :-)
Exactly
These companies are laughing all the way to the bank. They profit off of us , “we need to be creative and start loving ourselves” We are survivors, we need to help ourselves and each other. Don’t weep over those who have no interest in your wellbeing. God loves you naturally, like you are, LOVE yourself! ❤
FACTSSSSSSS...BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN HATE THEMSELVES FOR REALLLLLLL
FACTSSSSSSS AND BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN ARE TO BLAME
We must refuse to use this hair until they regulate & test it. If they want to make it safe, they would! But we have to stop purchasing and disrupt their revenue and profit 1st!!!!!
So True!
Agreed! That's the only way to bring change, is to break their revenue profits.
Your hair is gorgeous!! You dont need to add anything!
Thank you
I have a huge problem with the popularity of human hair lace wigs. They have created a social crisis where black women of varying income groups thrive to own these wigs. The poor ones get involved in compromising relationships to be able to acquire these wigs. Also, it places ridiculous pressure on young black women where TEENAGERS want and wear lace wigs to school. Black children should be wearing their own hair to school. They need to be taught to love their hair and learn how to manage THEIR God given hair and not feel UGLY when they see their hair. If you wear a lace wig ALL the time, I doubt you will like your own hair (natural or relaxed) very much. Your own hair will 'fustrate' you.
It’s because teenagers aspire to look like their adult counterparts. Their counterparts are wearing wigs, extensions, and straight hair. If we show them that they don’t have to change their texture and length just to grow up or be attractive, it’ll disappear. Or at the very least they’ll just flat iron their own hair.
I agree with all you said and also it is disturbing to see because young girls are using glue and starting the process of using toxic chemicals at a young age. As a part-time entertainer I used lace wigs with clips, no glue, but it irritated my hairline. One day I decided I had enough and found a way to use half-wigs so I didn't disturb my hairline. I am also disturbedto see young girls wearing fake nails at young ages. There was a time when girls had to wait until they were grown to look grown. There will be a generation of young women withscalp, hair and nail problems at younger ages.
Good Morning Habiba ❤ I once watched a documentary video on hair that was being cut off of these long-haired dogs and this was in China then the hair was sent to a factory to be cleaned and used for wigs or braiding that really opened up my eyes it's hard these days to trust folks when they're trying to make money
Good morning dear! You are the first to comment! Thank you
❤ @@Kenton-Habiba
Wow, I would like to see that documentary
Horse hair is also used 🤷♀️
@@margarettodd1074strands are way too thick
Taking these extensions out of my hair out right now!!!
Good for you! You won’t regret it. I wore my hair in two strand twists all week and kept them moisturized. Took them down today and rocking this twist out. My hubby has been gushing over my hair all week. It’s so liberating just wearing your own hair. Good luck to you on this journey.
Good for you!
yes, cousin! I took my extensions out yesterday. Now, I'm gonna rock some twists until further notice lol
@@SkyeIDsame I’m going for natural twists , I’m done with extensions my scalp always breaks out when I get braids 😭and I didn’t even realise to now why.
As a retired health 'professional' I am still learning....Happy Sunday...thank you for this important personal share....I am concerned about the use added eye lashes,glue for wigs even nail polish and fake nails and list goes on and on!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESEARCH!!!!
HEMA Free is the way to go with gel polish products.
"We need start loving ourselves and stop letting companies make profits over our insecurities" Wow! That right there hit me with conviction. Amen!!
Lupita wears her natural hair as well
When a person’s livelihood is threatened they will go against the grain to protect his or her income source even though they know there’s an adverse reaction. This information would disrupt the hair industry on many levels. Hair salons, braid shops, manufacturers, stock exchange, international markets. It is understood why there is resistance but the lack of wisdom is astounding.
If Tobacco industry could accept research linking cigarettes to lung cancer and adjust, I believe hair industry will adjust if this information is made public. Even in a normal sense of it, people should be leery of anything coming from China.
I'm glad this information is out. Thank you l hope that we come up with having our own resources of making our own. We are creators ! Given to us by the Most High. We don't have to rely on them for hair.
Habiba, I need to change my hair up for versatility. Need solutions for short hair and love crotchet for 12inch length
Thank you.
And just to think, some also put this toxic hair into their children hair and are not aware they are causing health problems 😮
Am I the only person who feels it's weird to wear someone else's body part? Think about it, it's barbaric. I think we know it's not right, but because of us not being ok with our own natural hair, we make excuses why it's OK to keep doing it. I am 100% sure some of these hair comes from dead people. I say this because it is easy to do and humans will make money anyway they find a way to do so.
Habiba your hair looks beautiful. Maybe we should spend more energy developing more hair styles with our natural own hair. Women with daughters are the first to stop wearing weaves. Your daughters are going to look at you as being beautiful and they see themselves as ugly. Then as soon as they get older they are going to follow your example.😢😢😢
Regarding someone else’s “body part” how do you feel about organ donors whose organs ( kidney’s, corneas, heart etc) go to another person?
@@Kenton-Habiba that is a life or death situation. Beauty does not count in that regard. I can understand if a woman has alopecia or if someone loses their hair because of chemotherapy, but this casual fashion choice is in no way necessary. It's so bad that some women can't go without a weave. They think they look ugly without it. It also causes other races to think that black women with naturally long hair and different texture hair are
also wearing weaves. Bleaching the skin and wearing weaves is confirming what other people think about us........"we are not beautiful" what are we te aching young black girls? Maybe I might not feel so strongly if the women were matching their own natural hair, because let's face it we are not the only ones wearing clip- ins, but wearing hair from a whole other race of people? Just can't accept that.
@kostak8175 organs are deeper than hair. It's inside not braided on.
@@Kenton-Habiba
Donors gave *permission* for their parts to be used with the *expectation* of saving someone’s life. They weren’t held at gun point in the middle of the street while another person cut their hair. And yes there’s a black market for organs too and only criminals use it. A true donors sacrifice deserves respect.
@@l.austin2371 I respect you guys point of view, however I just feel it's a dishonor to us, that we feel we need other race's hair to make us beautiful. It's like we are saying we agree with them that we are less of, not beautiful without them. It's disgusting energy to put upon ourselves. Maybe we need to push for some new more harmless products that we can use. Let's develope something, new inovations. I for one am going to start my research, keep it in the family by us for us.$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Cosmetology school for licensing will not stop carcinogenic use of beauty supplies. That's why hair salons still provide relaxers, Brazilian straightening, and also braid with synthetic hair and use other carcinogens. We don't need government to take away our heritage of braiding and make us go to school and pay for a license in braiding. Hat was passed down to us. A braiding license to educate us about products they will still allow in salons, ou the market, absolutely not. They need to crack down on the chemical production of carcinogens hair products, those who sell the products without labeling the risk. Not the people who buy the products as that is their choice if its freely on the market. We have to educate ourselves and may a personal decision. You have provided information which is a starting point but we as a people have to continue to educate ourselves. Respectfully my opinion. Thank you for sharing.
Great information, I'm a braiding hair wearer addict and hopefully one day I will embrace my short fine strand wavy thin hair and leave the chemical laced synthetic hair alone.
However, I do soak it in apple cider vinegar and never burn it, so the hair doesn't bother me anymore, it used to before, when I didn't use the apple cider vinegar method.
Speaking on these chemicals they are also made up in our clothes, shoes, hair scarves and regular scarves & them eyelashes that everyone is wearing these days, plus makeup & other products we use on a daily basis, internally and externally , when you look at everything we wear and use, you'll find out that the majority of it all has these chemical components in them. I have clothes that itches the hell out of me and find myself taking them off for relief.
Maybe we should make a movement on removing all these chemicals from all our products and in our environment period!
The powers 😈 that be knows what they are doing to us and our health and environment. They know😈 🤔😡😤😢
In regard to the transplants, there have been many people who have gotten transplants that speak about personality changes and so on. Scientists and doctors are taking notes and doing studies on this phenomenon. I would recommend looking into it! It’s wild af and super interesting!
Never heard of this. I guess energy from one person's body can be felt b6 another person
Also Habiba we can grow our natural hair into natural locs or sisterlocs, and learn how to embrace and take care of the hair that naturally grows from our heads. I've been 100% naturally loc'd for 2 years and 8 months now making the decision to stop relaxing my hair years ago. The loc community also has been plagued with these hair companies selling synthetic locs. Over the past 5 years locs has become very very popular. People have been buying and installing faux, instant synthetic locs. So I agree with you that we need to do our research! White American women use wigs and hair extensions also. It's a big business for them also. I wonder are the companies using toxic chemicals in the wigs and extension made for them? Thanks for your knowledge.
Thank you for the information ❤
Lipsticks, deodorants, foundations, makeup, and the list is endless. The beauty industry sticks.
Thank you Habiba. Keep these information coming. People need to be informed. I’ve been growing out my natural hair since 2019. I’ve gotten negative comments from black women “it’s not your hair” I really don’t fault them because it’s out there that black hair cannot grow. I’m living proof that black hair can grow. I use all natural ingredients in my hair. I don’t use store bought I make my own. I wear twists and box braids without adding any synthetic or human hair. I’m a nurse and I already knew that the synthetic hair is toxic and some of the so called human hair is not 100% it’s mixed with some other fibers. I’m glad that you’re educating us on this topic. I hope there’s more to come because it’s not just the hair. Products we use are toxic. I just learned that one of my favorite lotions I use to use has included hormones. We have to read these ingredients and do our research to better care for ourselves 🙏
@rosedavis3376 will you please share or direct me in the direction of how to make own products like yours ?Thanks in advance
Thank you DrI had fishtails with synthetic hair done days prior to seeing your first video. I immediately clicked on the links you posted, researched, ordered coily human hair from Ywigs and removed the fishtails that night. I love my half cornrow half individual look now. It is a little pricey but my reproductive organs are worth it. Love your content!
She's telling the truth. There were a couple of times when I braided my hair and I immediately had to take it back out that same day because of the side effects of the chemicals on the hair. It made me have paresthesia and nerve pain.
whoa, I am so sorry!
The reason why many women use expression synthetic hair is that it is affordable and easily accessible, the alternatives you mentioned of synthetic are expensive (45 dollar for one pack of synthetic hair)
I believe there’s an African woman that developed a bamboo hair alternative!
Yes extensions
But I hope someone come out with bamboo wig too
Great video Habiba. Unfortunately many people will not do the research but will rebutt everything that was exposed...😊
BECAUSE THEY HAVE SELF-HATRED POINT BLANK PERIOD
Thank you so much for taking the time to bring us this vital information. We should all take heed to the message and not hate on the messenger . As Habiba stated so clearly ,it is up to consumers to make better choices for themselves. If not, then we know the possible consequences. We have a choice.Thanks again Habiba.❤
Taking my synthetic braids out while I’m watching… thank you for sharing all of this knowledge with us.
Just fyi I’m ecstatic when we have health conversations… go us ❤😂
My only hiccup is that my hair is not thick, like what is portrayed in so many media forms. It's thin and fine even after 3 big chops, so this is truly frustrating
Im never wearing fake hair in my life ever in Jesus name.
I had fibroids, the excessive loss of blood and multiple blood transfusions. I had surgery AND no longer use relaxers. I recently had my hair braided with Kanekalon hair. I only plan to have it braided for a total of 6 months if I continue to use synthetic hair. It's more likely that I will use human hair for my next visit and will do my research before I purchase it. Thanks, Dr. Habiba!
Not everyone has natural beautiful hair!!!
Thank you for this information. I recently had such a bad reaction to braiding hair. I was unaware of all this information. I went online to check if others had this reaction and I was blown away .
Thanks for your service 😌
I watched your first video and shared it with my two daughters who love braids and wigs. Love your content
Thank you Dr. Habiba. This is truly eye opening and informative.
Thanks you! Another great informative video. Keep going girl!
I would have never known this had you not share this, I'm grateful for your videos ❤
Great information. Thank you for doing the research and sharing the facts ❤.
I didn't see your previous video but about to go watch. Thank you for sharing.
I thank you for sharing this information. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi Habiba, how are you happy Sunday thank you so much for enlightening us ❤
Thank you for sharing keep up the good work looking forward to seeing you again
Thank you, Habiba. we are learning everyday.🇿🇦❤️
Good evening. Thanks for sharing the additional information🎉❤.
Your hair style is so beautiful 👏🙌💯❤️
I totally agree with what you're saying I was totally concerned about my daughter's hair a lot of it when she wears her weaves or braids it's a lot of itching going on I really appreciate your video and continue to do so as well thank you so much for your Insight
Your hair is beautiful!!!
Thank you Dr Kenton for your infos I believe in you and your recherches.
Do you mean “Dr Tunau “ 🤣 ?
Kenton is husband’s first name.
Hello, Dr. Habiba. I'm new to your channel. This video popped up on my YT home page. Thanks for the advice, and I appreciate your transparency.
Thank you for mentioning us, it’s a great video!❤
You are so welcome! My next full video will be a hair tutorial with your hair 😅
Thank you so much for taking the time to educate and inform us. I am all natural but certainly have used synthetic hair in braid styles. I greatly appreciate this life saving information and I have made the changes necessary. I am doing some additional research as well.
Thank you for that positive good information,so informative. I feel so sad , Knowing that I subjected myself, I have been wearing my natural hair for over ten years, but I remember the smell from perms,,, Thank you for Sharing
I just want to thank you for this. Something made me question the safety of the synthetic braids I love wearing and of course knowing how cheap it is and where it is imported from me skeptical that companies would go out of their way to provide a safe product for people. When I read that back of the product about this hair that has all thaws features it just felt like they would use any chemical harmful or not to achieve a certain look or feel. It’s horrible that you try to eat healthy, stop relaxing your hair, only to find that the alternative is just as harmful. I have to get comfortable wearing my own natural hair. I can’t blame anyone else for that.
I’m with you! Hopefully we can impact younger generations to embrace their natural hair.
Thank you for all this info. Please speak about hair dye on extensions and your own hair. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Knowledge is power!
Aww Thank you so much! Really appreciate your support! 💐
THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION. ❤❤❤❤ I AM VERY GRATEFUL 🙏
You are so welcome
Thank you for the info. I have passed the info to my daughters, this information and the prior video. Knowledge is power❤
Wonderful!
I love all this info. I’ve never heard this from a credible person/Dr. before. I’m subscribing now. ❤
A person doesn't have to be a doctor to give credible information; education is everywhere from people of all walks of life.
Thanks so much for imparting your knowledge of these false hair to us , although I sometimes wear ,will stop wearing..
Thank you!
Thank you I will need to source the natural hair products.
Good morning, Habiba. Appreciate your follow-up about synthetic hair and health effects. Also, can you do something on hair color and relaxers. I stopped using both about 10 plus years ago because of warnings about health effects. Thank you.
Thank you so much for informing us of the truth ❤
Hi Abiba!
Thank you so much for this informative video. I was just telling my daughter yesterday about Kankelon hair and asked if she’d heard that it’s cancer causing- and as I expected , because I know my daughter so well, she said, something to the effect of “ well, we’re going to die from something “, “
I’m going to share this video with her😊
It took a minute to convince my daughter to stop but she came around.
Great to see part two of the series, now you have to do a follow up part 3. As someone who has braided for over 25 years, this is great to know. The repeated exposure to kanekalon via one's hands should have labeling. I'm handling a pack of Black&Gold now. I'm going to have to research alternatives to this, bc I can't rock with that. This has direct correlations to higher cancer, fertility/reproductive issues as well. Thank you. 🐈⬛🌻🪮🏴
Thanks again 👍🏿
Thank you 😊 ❤
Rebundle is ALWAYS sold out. 😢
Thanks, Dr. Habiba, for this follow-up on this important topic! I hope you do regular on-going discussions because black hair is a big issue for us.
WHYYYYYYYY DO BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN LOVEEE FAKE HAIR????? LOVEEE HOW GOD MADE YOU
Thanj you for your very informative indeed. Glad I discovered your video abd channel! It highly important to know the truth the fact ls about hair extensions, weaves,wigs, and chemical relaxers that were used for years! I used to use hair relaxers and stopped in 2013! I wear my hair in it's natural state in 2 strand twist. I have been chemical sensitivities since 2013 from being diagnosed. No chemicals in my home, everything I eat is whole foods in I buy organic everything and cook food myself. This video need to be sent around to all women, their daughters, nieces,grandparents, mothers everywhere!!
Everything around us is toxic but I don’t wanna be BAKLD HEAD😂I’m looking for other alternatives now because my hair has literally been coming out and the main thing I was doing was wearing crochet braids the last 2yearsa I had way more hair on my head than I believed . I look at my hood hair pics and should have been proud to wear it now I gotta find ways to disguise my hair falling out .😢 all I been wearing was synthetic hair because it’s cheaper ,you get more and it’s easier to maintain.
By weeks end I’ll have a new look with either human Afro hair micro twists or that better braid banana hair 😅I’m ready for sure
Subscribed❤🎉 Listening and learning...I now know better so I'll do better
Awesome 👏🏽 thank you ☺️ and welcome 🤗 to our UA-cam family 🌸
Hi Habiba, I enjoy your family videos as well as your educational videos. Thank you for the educational information that you provided about synthetic hair, I have shared the information with my family members who wear braids a lot. Can you also speak to coloring our hair and the negative impact it has on our health...thank you.
I have a question for those who can’t grow their hair long even though they know they look better with longer hair ( and no , not self hate 🙄) then what? Not everyone has the patience to wait 2, 3 and 5 years to grow their hair… then what ? Not saying don’t wear your real hair but not everyone can grow long hair..sorry I know people that have worn braids for years and nothing ever happened to them 🤷🏽♀️
This is such an amazing topic. I watched your first video and this one, too, and you have covered a lot of vital information. This information you are bringing will be life changing. Definitely a "can opener," and many worms have been exposed.
I loved your answers to the question, " Now what do we do now?" And you said that we have always been creative. This was very empowering.✊️
Thanks for the information. You did an amazing job in both research and presentation 🙏
Thank you very much for watching! I encourage you to share it. 🤗🌸
If my hair looked as good as yours, might be easier not to wear synthetic braids. However, my 6-year-natural 4C hair has been stuck in the medium-TWA stage for years. Just doesn’t grow well when I keep it out.😢
P.S. yes, I exercise, take vitamins, and drink 6 bottles of water a day.
As I'm sitting here with EZ Braid in my head right now.....😦. Thank you for sharing this!
Yes, I love your hair, it’s beautiful! Thank you for bringing this information to us. Now it’s just a choice.
Well, I am a small business and make money off of this, BUT I will be investigating this further to see if I should eliminate the synthetic hair altogether.
Thanks so much.
What about hair bleaching is it bad
No extensions for me since Spring 2022. Thank you for raising awareness! I hope you will talk about nail extensions/polish chemicals soon. It's been years since I've visited a nail salon but the smells of the chemicals were so strong! It can't be healthy especially for those who get them done often or are nail techs. The fact that they wear masks for protection is a clue!
I believed you right away! lol🤣 Sometimes the truth hurts.🥲 I took out my super cute synthetics braids immediately and got beautiful human hair for my protective style. Thanks for the information.🥰
I love your hair 💖 I would love for my hair to at least get that length.
Thank you
Thank you I have worn braids at three or time in my life now I know I won’t be thank you thank you. I listened to you the first time I heard you like said I’m 33 I only wore braids in my life only three or four times in my life. Thank you for information. Cali🤗💖💖💖
Dr. Habiba,
Thank you for your experience , knowledge and research. I am grateful for you sharing. Your calm delivery with bots of humor are appreciated and respected by me- I had reproductive issues because I was addicted to creamy Crack (perm) and during my natural journey I went to synthetic extensions. Because of you I am working on doing other and better. THANK YOU!!!🎉
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌸
We appreciate you and those complaining are the sellers of these dangerous products! And so don't mind them !
I watched both of your videos and you definitely gave me a lot to think about. If these videos don't get 1m views each there is something wrong with the yt algorithm .I'm semi-retired and not concerned about the corporate culture or upward mobility which dictated my hairstyles. I think ill cut my hair and rock a short fro for awhile. If I can give up sugar, synthetic hair should be easy right....lol
❤ true that! 😊
I always tell ppl as a nurse when I learned what cancer was , I understood why chemicals and toxin elimination to the max was necessary… ppl who complain that this info is being exposed because “everything is toxic” are ignorant to this understanding usually
I love braids 😩
All I can say is Wow! That felt like a gut punch! As black women we pride ourselves on the fact that we can transform ourselves in the kitchen with a few dollars worth of braiding hair,nevertheless the facts cannot be ignored. Also there is a real economic factor, a lot of braid shops provide mega needed income for a lot of women . There are young girls making six figures traveling to do braids, also high school students who recognize they can help their families by braiding. I think you have uncovered a real conundrum. We will go through a mourning process and come out on the other side,trust and believe!!! p.s. I became a fan of yours way back when you did the posts about seeing your father after 30 years , then you disappeared. Love your content, some of it is lighthearted,some deep,like the post about going to college in spite of being told you may not belong in certain places. You and Kenton are a gift and I am a super fan
I was wondering why not also talk about MAKE UP?
The chemicals absorbed are mind-blowing.
They are just if not worst as the hair.
The hustle is real. That's another big one. It's hard to eradicate all toxins from one's lifestyle but little by little we'll get there....biggest one is our food, most of the food we eat is not food....Wishing everyone well in the going natural journey cos it'll be a journey to go natural in all areas of our lives
One thing at a time. 😊
Yes exactly. Make up nail polish, nickel earings, and polyester clothes.
🤔 Tattoos are something to consider too.
What should the person do that have lost their hair due to Alopecia, which would not grow back, and have used Synthetic hair?
Thank you so much for the follow up. I shared your previous video with a number of people who were unaware of the toxicity of synthetic hair.
On a couple of points, regarding us, the spiritual aspect of wearing some other humans hair. Are there something known as, transference.
Just as we are taught in elementary school not to ever use anyone else’s comb or use someone else’s toothbrush, etc. are those who are believe in and are aware of energy which in most cases cannot be seen by the human eye, are aware that such things exist.
Just as it’s known that if you have two or three women that live under the same roof together, after a while, their cycles actually will automatically follow one another because they are in close proximity to one another.
The medical profession unfortunately is of a different intelligence and understanding on that level, as there have been reports of people receiving organs from a donor, who maybe drank alcohol, or was a smoker or always eat chocolate or some such thing, something that the recipient never experienced until they receive the organ of that particular person, but then suddenly had the same cravings to possibly drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes or and that’s been a sign that’s been scientifically proven.
So hair works the same way it is an organ which has energy or emits energy or collect energy.
Jewish women have worn wigs for hundreds of years that is true but, if you’re aware, Jewish women will not wear hair from China or India. They will only wear hair from their European ill counterparts.
Anyway, very fascinating discourse on human hair. And thank you so much for bringing this information to the fore.
… and also. to be a licensed hairstylist in the United States anyway allows the client if any damages have been incurred during their appointments with said Hairstylist, you would be able to hold them liable in the state which they practice their occupation.
Going to an unlicensed Braider or , Hairstylist leaves the client with no recourse if they suffer any damages to their hair or their person, etc.
Also, someone who is not licensed really has no idea as to the structure of hair, follicles, etc. a Braider may be able to wash and condition your hair, but that braider will not be able to trim your ends because she’s not licensed to do so and more often than that you know she doesn’t trim hair, which actually promotes healthy hair when done so every several weeks.
So these people may have to bear an expense to get their licenses, however, they’re charging people hundreds a pop, per client of dollars to provide services of installing human hair😮
So I don’t think it’s a matter of them having to pay a lot of money to take coursework and become licensed in this profession, I think it’s just a very easy way to make money without having to learn the craft and work of that profession.
Easy $$$ 😏
