In the 2005 photo, after years of wearing weaves, I cut my hair and got a relaxer. In march 2006, I incorporated the Crown and Glory regimen using the braid extensions method and purchased the AFRO DETANGLER for myself and toddler. The CROWN AND GLORY TECHNIQUE is truly a blessing for my daughter and I. First and foremost, thank you for sharing the Crown and Glory technique. Your wisdom of hair care has once again empowered me to grow my 4a- 4b -3c medium hair to its fullest potential. My new natural hair is thicker, longer, and healthier.
