BEFORE AND AFTER Since Madame CJ Walker's product "Wonderful Hair Grower," people have been telling us how to grow our hair -- For 12 years, Cathy has been showing you!
The photo on the left is what my hair was like in the beginning, in 1987.
Like most African-American woman this is about all I could expect my hair to grow on the right in 1987.
I knew there had to be a common reason so many Black women have short hair. Keeping your hair and adding length should be common sense. Common sense has kept me growing 12 years later.
February 2005 - and my last retouch was May 2004 proving that we can give up chemical relaxers and keep our hair. With 5" of new growth and 9" relaxed ends, my hair was straightened with the blowdryer and flat iron.
