Source: Maclin, M. 2013, Oct. S2S.  Maclin is a doctor who has studied over 70,000 African-American hair loss cases, www.drmacmd@gmail.com Maclin provided an interesting article of possible relaxed hair care side effect that I thought I would share during Native American Appreciation Month (Nov.) Chemical-Free Curl advised until the age of 16 for healthier young females in our communities. Avoid perming/relaxing if you are experiencing current hair loss or scalp issues. Avoid relaxers if you have been diagnosed with fibroids or infertility. Avoid relaxers if you are currently pregnant. Why? Most hair loss is attributed to early perming and abuse (such as leaving perm on longer than suggested, perming too frequently, usage of the wrong strength of perm for hair texture). Sherlene's advice: I know with my mixed cultural hair I have a challenge with wanting to overperm - make it straight realizing it will only be that way for a few days.

From the Editor Due to the recent changes in Public Education in our American schools, I am advocating homeschooling for your child from babies - Grade 2, or at least until they are able to read, write basic words, and are able to identify & count numbers and letters.
