I have worn my hair 'natural' for a number of years. I did cornrows, twists and twist-outs making a 'textured' fro. All was good until my hair started breaking off. I kept it moisturized, scalp oiled etc and even consulted a few web sites on naturally 'nappy' hair without success. I live in an area where there are very few black women--and fewer of them have natural hair (they wear their hair relaxed). The climate is super dry. I am a doctor (in training) and need a neat professional carefree look for my natural hair. I am also very active--with biking, hiking and working out in th gym. I want to do more water sports, but ...I was considering locks--but noticed that Lauren Hill and Indya Ire (spelling?) had chopped their locks off. I am currently wearing braids with extensions--to try to grow without suffering from more breakage. I am desperate and do not want to have to result to a relaxer. Any ideas?
