I had a pleasure of hosting my very first twitter live chat today at 3pm-4pm EST. See, I have been thinking of hosting a live Twitter/Facebook chat for a while now but just never got around to it. So when I was invited to host one for Lumo Naturals (a natural hair salon in Abuja, Nigeria), I quickly jumped on the idea. I’d say that the chat went really well, I’m impressed with the amount of information that i provided and I’m sure that loads of people will find them helpful. Based on this experience, I have finally decided to host some sort of live chat on either Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter and/or Instagram on a scheduled basis. The chats will be on Wednesday evening from 7pm-8pm (EST). I’ll let you know when the next chat will be and what the topic of discussion will be on. You can also send me any topic that you’d like me to talk about and I might pick it for the following week’s chat.
If you missed today’s chat, here are highlights from the event. Please retweet as many tweets as possible.

Length retention: active activity, heavily affected by external factors NOT by internal (bodily) factors. #lumotweetchat #naturalhair

Factors that influences #hairgrowth: health, diet, medication, genetics (from parents), Age, weather/climate. #lumotweetchat #naturalhair

Factors that influences #lengthretention: hairstyle , products applied to hair, moisture level, weather, manipulation, tools. #lumotweetchat

remember that YOU CAN’T control growth, you can only enhance it so that you get to retain as much new growth as possible. #lumotweetchat

The only option that you’ve got is to retain the length that you currently have. So you’ll need to work with what you’ve got. #lumotweetchat

Tips to “grow” your hair: cleanse bi-weekly, co-wash often, deep condition weekly or bi-weekly, style loosely and gently #lumotweetchat

stretch the hair often to reduce knots & tangles which often leads to breakage.Shrunken hair tends to get matted #lumotweetchat #naturalhair

more tips: focus on moisture level, manipulation, pay attention to breakage, save your hair for further analysis #lumotweetchat

“Science of Black hair” by @BlackHair101. I won’t recommend YT or personal blogs as most info are flawed & contradictory. #lumotweetchat

Eating right is impt for hair growth. The body takes nutrition away from other organs when it’s not been fed properly. #lumotweetchat
