Growing and maintaining natural hair has been a challenge for many of us. I remember when I did my first BC (big chop). I had to research my hair type...was I 4a,b, or c?  I had to research the products that would work best with my hair type, as well as educate myself on the L.O.C. (liquid, oil, and cream) method. 

Throughout my journey of falling in love with my natural hair I have discovered 10 Tips for Growing Out Your Hair:
  1. Deep condition once a week
  2. Eat healthy (clean foods preferred)
  3. Take hair vitamins (prenatal vitamins work wonders also)
  4. Drink LOTS of water
  5. Massage scalp with natural oils
  6. Moisturize and seal ends
  7. Cleanse with SULFATE FREE shampoo or co-wash with conditioner
  8. Protective styles are a must!
  9. NO HEAT!
  10. Be patient.
All hair is "good hair", acceptance is the key to confidence.Embrace your texture and realize patience pays off! Remember your hair is at its weakest when its dry so make sure you cover it with a satin scarf at night and as with any journey don't compare your steps with another's...just enjoy the ride!

An Impossible Life, Life Without Possibility

Should we be held accountable for the rest of our lives for a choice that we made when we were 13 years old? This is exactly the question asked by the    over 2500  individuals in America serving Life Without the Possibility of Parole. To give a child a death sentence shines a glaring light on our morally bankrupt society and our injustice system. Psychologist have recently published reports stating that the human brain has not fully developed until 25, calls into question this long promoted idea that you’re an adult at 18! JUST THE FACTS Did you know? The majority of sentences to life without parole for youth have been imposed in states where judges are obligated to impose it as a mandatory sentence, without consideration of any factors relating to a child’s age or life circumstances. More than 25% of people serving life without parole after being sentenced as children were convicted of felony murder or accomplice liability, meaning they were no...

B.O.S.S... Its a Movement

We're often asked...What are your goals for the B.O.S.S Movement?

B.O.S.S. is an acronym that stands for Building Our Self Sufficiency. We are a cooperative organization on a mission to end generational poverty .
