F(FRIZZY HAIR): frizzy or tight hair can be tamed with cool water rinse after conditioning and dry with a t-shirt and not a towel.
G(GROWTH): Every hair grows at an average of half an inch each year. Don't freak out thinking yours ain't growing.

Q(QUESTIONS): Question potential stylists, hair gurus until you feel satisfied.
