Don't Tear Your Hair!!

To prevent breakage and split ends, it's important to make sure you be patient while detangling and make sure to use a shower comb when wet.

Shower combs are best when hair is wet, just remember to start detangling from ends to the roots!! Try combs like these!


Split-Ender review



I bought the Split-Ender about 6 mos ago and my ends are still great, along with protective styling.  For the naturals, you will need to straiten your hair before using.  Below is a video demo, enjoy!





It is a great product! If you want to purchase, click the ad!

Hair is often visually measured by where it reaches the point on your body. We often refer to hair as being one of the following lengths:


Chin length: Just reaching the chin

Shoulder length: touching the shoulders

Collar bone length: touching the collar bone

Bra Strap length: length that reaches the bra strap

Waist length: when hair reaches the smallest part of your waist

Tail bone length: when hair reaches the end of your tail bone

Classic length: when hair reaches just below your rear end

Hip Length: when hair reaches your upper hips and is below Classic

Thigh length: when hair reaches your mid-thigh

Knee length, calf length, ankle length: when hair reaches this specific part of your body

Floor length: When hair length touches the floor (without bending over, of course!)

Let me introduce myself, I'm Erica Lee, and i have been on a hair, nail and skin journey for a little over a year.  But about 4 months ago i decided to start transitioning, which was one of the best choices I've made!  I also have a YouTube channel where i document my progress.  So please follow along with me and we can go on our journeys together!!
