2012 In Review - The 50 Best Posts Of The Year!

There’s something fascinating about looking back at the work youv’e done all year. I guess that’s one of the perks about being a blogger is that you can see in black and white exactly what you wrote that people read and enjoyed. It’s also pretty eye opening.

I am no analytical expert but it seems pretty clear to me that what black women want more than anything is to learn how to do stuff with their hair, that’s judging by the number of ‘How To’ articles in this list.

That also tells me that in spite of the number of self confessed veterans in the online hair community, there are still a great many newbies.

Look through the list to gain some insight into what other people have been reading on BHI this past year. Hopefully you will get a couple of good reads that you may have missed and even possibly find advice on something that’s been missing in your own hair regimen that will take your hair growth journey to another level!

The list below is based purely on the number crunching genius of Google Analytics with no editoral spin from me so let the countdown begin . . . .
