As a teenager before I let my hair grow my mother has a photo of her holding me at a beach. In that photo my hair was in braids, this was a large reason for me waiting braids as a teenager. I have a younger brother and we would get hair cuts and his hair would always beach(wave up). My hair never ever did that, I often wondered why because he did not wear wave caps it was natural!. Because my hair never did that i would get low cuts until I was able to grow it and I had a decent length of hair for years but after it stopped growing, I cut it off. Today I still wear a low cut because my hair never beached!

I remember going to a shop on pico west of la brea with some of my folks. The older of the two got a shave with a razor, then a very hot towel was placed on his head. I am not certain why, but after I cut my hair with clippers then with something that gets closer to my scalp,ONLY on the top placing a very hot towel on my head no less than 3 times HELPS avoid hair bumps!

Hair tip of the day: I do not walk around smelling peoples hair, but some hair smells hit your nose hard!. If you are active rather sports, a power walker, jogger, and or heavy runner PLEASE wash your hair. I am not recommending any product, but use whatever to get the bad smell to go away!
