Episode 10, Part IV: Ask “The Hair Doctor” 7-7-11

In this episode of Ask “The Hair Doctor”, Lisa answers the following questions:

0:10 When transitioning long term is it okay to have your hair in buns and wear a drawstring ponytail thats not pulling the hair tight? a lot of people sat transitioning styles are braid outs n twists but my hair do not look nice when i tried that because of the relax ends so i just bun/wear phony ponytails. i have seen growth in my hair but is it safe to do because i don’t want to damage my hair knowing that I’m dealing with two different textures. thank u.

2:30 If I get a hair analysis done will you be able to determine if I have/had a vitamin deficiency?

4:07 I’m transitioning to natural and i do not want heat on my hair for a whole yr do u think my ends will suffer from not getting a trim?

5:52 What about wavy or curly hair? Do these fall into the straight or kinky category?

6:25 I want to study trichology…. Do you offer courses or certificates? If not, do you know any institutions or online classes

7:42 Are these tips also “good” for caucasian hair? =) I am Swedish and I want my hair long! It’s pretty thin, but it’s pretty long now about 24 inches above my boobs (sorry, I don’t know to explain the length without naming “boobs” hahaha). Will those tips be useful for me, even if my hair is not African?
