Maximum Hydration Method - Pinke Cube Questionaire
These are the answers to questions posed by Pinke Cube on the web site www.maximumhydrationmethod.com.
1. How long have you been natural?
Iâve been natural for 6ish years.
2. Why did you decided to go natural and your experience being natural.
To be honest it was a sort of dare from a friend. I had quit a job that I wasnât really happy in and by best friend had wanted me to cut off all my hair for a long time. After I quit we celebrated with rum and cokes and a pair of clippers. Me, my best friend and my roommate had drinks and she cut off all my hair! Up until then I had mostly done at home relaxers. I was 29 or 30.
 3. Tell us a little bit about your hair, like your hair type, porosity, texture, length.
When my hair is stretched out the front is down to my chin. The back is a little shorter. The crown is various lengths because of breakage.
I believe I have high porosity hair. The texture is coily/kinky.
 4. Some of your struggles (if any) being natural before MHM .
I think the biggest struggle I have as a natural is split ends and breakage. I can usually get my hair to chin length, but never longer than that. I also have very think hair. Meaning there are a lot of strands per square inch. Because of the split ends it could be very time consuming and frustrating when detangling. Also putting my hair in a semblance of control was also time consuming. I would usually put my hair into two strand twists and wear it for about 3 or 4 days and then twist it out for the last few days of the week and then start all over. That could take up to 8 hours depending on how tired I was.
 5. How did you find out about MHM and why did you decide to give it a try?
I heard about MHM on the âBlack Girl, Long Hairâ web site. The reason why I decided to give it a try was because I was hoping that it would make my hair more manageable and hopefully eventually cut down on styling time.
 6. How long have you been doing MHM ?
I have just started doing MHM. I am on day 2, but Iâm really amazed by the results already!
 7.  Your experience with MHM so far.
The first day was very time consuming. But each step of the way I could feel my hair loving it. So it was very encouraging. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the Cherry Lola treatment basically erased the gray hairs that I had.
 8. Your views/experiences and maybe other peopleâs view of your hair before and after MHM .
So far the only person that has seen my hair is my family. I decided to start this process of the Labor Day weekend. My mom was so delighted that she wants me to try it on her!
 9. Any advice to anyone who is considering trying it for the first time or to other naturals in general.
My initial result is individual to me. I truly wasnât expecting such a dramatic result. I think it may be because I have been trying several different products to keep moisture in my hair. I think itâs important to keep an open mind. When I started out I decided that I would give it a try for the 7 days and if I didnât like the result then at least I would have learned something.
