How do you feel about them? “Yes, I think that the relaxers do not dam age my hair. There are oils and bases that can prevent relaxers from heavily damaging your hair. I think that if a relaxer is applied cor rectly then your hair should be ok.” What relaxer do you use in your hair? “I use Silk Elements Hair Products.” How often do you relax your hair? “I relax my hair every 5 to 6 weeks.” How do you feel about many of your peers going natural? I feel like some of them are just doing it to follow a trend. I don’t think a lot of girls actu ally do the research that is needed to go natu ral. You can go natural and actually damage your hair worse than a relaxer would. I feel like it depends on the products you use and how often you use them to have healthy hair. Stormie Monk, sophomore What do you like about being natural? “Since 1 wear weaves and wigs it is easy having natural hair. My hair is braided up the majority of the time so I do not have to worry about much.” Why do you choose to wear your hair the way you do? “It gives me a lot more spare time not hav ing to flat iron my real hair or undo some twists in my hair. 1 love my wigs because they are just like my hair and they look great on me.” How do you feel about your peers going natural? “I think some girls are just being followers. And then you have some that are just trying to do a new style. I do not believe that the chemicals are good for your hair, but they do make your hair look nice when done prop erly.” What products do you use? “1 use hair mayo, carrot oil, olive oil, shampoo, conditioners.” Why did you choose to go natural and when? “I went natural in Sept. 2009, and I went natural because I wore braids a lot and 1 didn’t see the point of getting relaxers to make my hair straight when 1 always wore braids with weave.” Affordable stylish car options for college students by Chamell Harris Voice Co-Managing Editor When it comes time for college students to purchase cars, the most important thing they need to think about is depend able. College students carmot afford cars that are known to have hefty maintenance costs, like the luxury cars we all as pire to own. So never mind what all those car commercials say about how their car is the year’s best pick. Ever notice how in ev ery car commercial, they always mention how their car is the year’s best model for gas or the top safety pick? This can be confiising for many people when making a purchase because how do they separate fiction from fact? There are some automobile makers who consistently build great cars, like Toyota, Honda or Ford. So before your next purchase, take time to do the research to make sure you drive home in a car you can expect to drive for many years. A good car should give drivers many years of good driving, provided that the car receives the proper servic ing. This list may be surprising. These cars get top placement in everything from the all-knowing Kelly Blue Book to insur ance companies and mechanics from all over Here are the top car picks for college students: Buick: This is not your great aunt’s rust colored Buick that sits on cement blocks in the front yard. The Buick is a car known to last for many years with few problems. Good on gas, provided you keep up with the servicing. Toyota Corolla: Affordable, stylish, and easy mileage, the Toyota Corolla is a great deal as a new or used car. New the car ranges in price from, and according to MSN.com, the maintenance for this prize vehicle for a five year period is only about $2,500. Honda Accord: This is one of the most popular cars on the road, as well it should as the Honda Accord has always topped the charts when it comes to safety, gas and maintenance. Ford Crown Victoria: Ok, so a few of us have been pulled over by one of these. Known around the country as quintes sential cop car, the Crown Vic is definitely a heavy duty kind of car that was built to last. WHAT’SGOINGON?
