My name is Alma Ruddock and I am the founder of BlackHairInformation.com. I am a writer and a mother. I started my hair journey in July of 2008 with neck length breaking relaxed hair. At that point it had never even occurred to me that black hair could grow long. You either had the genes or you didn't, I thought.
At the time my hair would definitely grow because I would always have new growth to retouch but the length remained the same year after year. I stumbled on a hair forum online while I was searching for a product that could strengthen my hair and there I discovered how to care for black hair properly for length retention.

Further to my post on the main site about braidouts, I wanted to state categorically that I love me a braidout! I've always preferred myself curly not to mention that it is the easiest way to style my hair week in week out. As I said in last week's newsletter I had a few emails from ...
I used to love my henna treatments a few years back but once I started coloring my hair with box colors I had to give up the henna because of their incompatibility. Well after deciding that the health of my hair and cuticles is more important than highlights (although I reserve the right to change ...
As you know, I don't believe in trimming hair every 6 weeks or whatever the recommended advice is these days. Now I'm aware that relaxed hair due to possibly more breakage may have thinner ends may require more regular trims to keep looking good but if you are natural and follow a hhj, I don't ...
