Robin D. Groover (Groove) is an innovator in the world of natural hair care. Robin D.

The Pursuit of Nappyness - Oh! My Nappy Hair Salon

by Daree Allen posted May 31, 2011 on Daree's Insights

"I’m starting what I hope to be a series entitled “The Pursuit of Nappyness,” where I profile people that will enlighten you about natural hair salons, events, and just all-around fly people to watch in the natural hair community. This is my first “natural hair interview,” courtesy of Elaine M. Truesdale, VP of Business Development for Atlanta Natural Hair Care in Atlanta, GA. I have not written many posts about natural hair, but being new to Atlanta and new to the natural hair world (I big chopped last summer), I felt this interview was a great opportunity to learn more about the subject, as well as explore a different part of town!"

Hair Growth Remedies at Home

Posted on Faster Hair Growth Tips March 3, 2011 by Beebe Love

"Healthy hair begins with a healthy diet. You must be diligent in taking care of your whole body and everything else should fall into place. According to Hair Science, hair normally grows about ¼ inch to ½ inch per month. That means that some people have hair that grows slower than others and some people have hair that grows faster than others, however the growing rate should be normal for you. We also shed about 50-80 hairs per day, give or take (L’oreal, 2011). That might sound excessive but it is what it is."
