    Thanks once more to all!

    Nicki - no plans to go beyond the online edition. I would not self publish (for a physical copy) but who knows, if a publisher does find it to be of interest then I would definitely like to see it spread further :)

    jc -- confused about the last part. there you say that trimming gives you longer hair, but all you really explain is how trimming will cut off damaged ends.

    but other than that, cool.

  21. Jc24 April 2011 at 17:50

    sweetafrohair - cutting off damaged ends allows the hair to grow and reach a new longer length. (i.e hypothetically hair stuck at 12 inches when trimmed could grow to 16 inches before stopping once more and then may need another trim to get to 20 inches).

    The study showed that damaged hair does not gain length. It did also show that cutting damaged hair allowed it to reach a new, longer length. In other words trimming is a potential solution to hair stuck at one length.

    Thanks JC,
    This was awesome. I remember when you first posted that "why is my hair broken, err... because you broke it!" I was thinking what!?! Truer words have not been spoken. I was combing through tangles, now I use mostly my fingers for my very kinky, tightly coiled hair and in the last month or so what a difference! Thanks so much.
    P.S. I still would love to see a picture of your full head of hair, I think we might be hair twins LOL

    I love your online magazine. I have been suffering with split ends for the longest. I have long hair but splits all up on the shaft so I'm getting trims every couple of weeks. I have a couple of questions: What products or ingredients have hydrolysed proteins? Also, I've been getting trims every couple of weeks but my hair stylist combs my hair out with a small tooth comb and I can feel my hair snagging and she blowdries my hair on high heat. So would this cause more damage to my hair even though i'm getting a trim? If so what are some safer better ways for me to trim my hair?

  43. Jc4 May 2011 at 19:53

    Thanks once more all!

    Mwah - you need to read the magazine!

    1. Combs are a major reason for breakage so the small tooth comb has to go!
    2. The magazine does show you how to trim hair heat free too.
    3. Do a search here on proteins and you will find the original article where commenters list the products they use. I comment on aphogee but it is not the only one.

  44. *MWAH*4 May 2011 at 22:57

    Yeah I didn't finish reading the whole magazine when I wrote the last comment. I just don't trust myself as of yet to trim my own hair. And I'll try to give my hair stylist a wide tooth comb lol hopefully she'll use it.

    Really nice job JC!!!! I love scientific perspective vs. "old wives tales of hair care" You think you can put in an Adobe PDF file. I would like to save on my PC as a reference. Like Catherine of Mehandi.com did re her How to Henna book.

    Hey,
    I really enjoyed the book. I just discovered your site and it holds something that I have been searching for in the natural hair community for some time now- FACTS! Which is must better than the yes/no answers followed by opinions. The article on proteins was excellent as well as the rest of the information. I enjoy the magazine idea because it saved a lot of time from searching blogs and forums. I hope you continue to do this. If you decide to move forward with such a venture, I would subscribe!
