I am currently relaxed and for the longest time, the thought process was, "don't let any new growth show otherwise your hair looks busted." I know for sure that part of the reason why my hair has achieved the lengths it has is because I have allowed my hair to go numerous months before touching up again. Achieving that mindset didn't come easy though, I remember years ago,a stylist telling me to hold off a little longer before I touched up. I thought she had totally lost it. Years later, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love the line about not doing a relaxer because the hair is torn up.

I do appreciate his efforts to educate women on the health of their hair, no matter the texture. If I were anywhere near NYC, I'd see him for a haircut pronto! FYI: His line isn’t organic.

LOL. I have been using the Hair Rules line for about a year and love it. One of my favorite haircare lines. Dickey clearly has a gift and I happy to see him getting bigger and bigger. Thx.

I also love what he had to say about the mental. Many don't like to link a desire to straighten their hair with how we've been taught to think concerning our hair. And that isn't to say everyone that straightens their hair has self hate issues, but those with self hate issues as it relates to hair will straighten in many cases and not get to the root to why that is, it's that socially acceptable that they don't have to. Yet it allows that damage to live on if one doesn't and I even know people who have gone natural and still can't stand it, well after that initial getting to know you phase so yes we do have to get at things mentally before we can truly embrace our texture and even if one doesn't choose to go natural I think this holds true still.
