Hi LHCF!!

I can't believed I finally shelled out the $6.50 for this forum, but I have been in love ever since I started lurking.I found LHCF about 6 or 7 months ago after I got tired of seeing my ends thinning from the excessive heat that I would use everyday...

To start off, I am (i think) 4a/b..This was my hair when i was 17 in 2005

About 2 years ago i was protective styling(learned that term on here:grin:) for one year with micros and a few weave tracks (shown below)

(excuse the shades, i thought i was fly lol)

After I had removed the braids and weave, I was getting my hair done every 2 weeks..which resulted in an even more healthy head of hair...(shown below)

...and about 7 months ago i had a setback..I had stopped going to the shop every 2 weeks to get my hair done and decided that I would do it myself..Bad idea..i would flat iron my hair almost every day, which resulted in this..

After I realized the setback, i did a google search and LHCF came up..and within the next months I began to see some positive changes in my hair..

Currently, I have been protective styling with individual braids since July 24th and haven't had a relaxer since june 6th..

I have been using megatek(thanks LHCF lol) since my last relaxer and I really want to transition to natural but if it turns out to just be a relaxer stretch, then i'll just try again some other time..I will be removing my braids in December for an official length check..can't wait!!!

The End:grin:
 
lol! Hope you get good results after the braids.

I had to hide the flat iron from my 13 year old because she would flat iron her bangs almost every day, even after I told her to quit and her hair was broken off BAD. Now I take her to get it done, and also protective style it with braids but she still has a long way to go. Bad hair habits are sometimes hard to break, looks like you're on the right track now.
 
Welcome!!! I'm sure you will learn how to manange you healthy head of hair on your own if thats what ya want!!! But ya seem to be doing pretty good enjoy this wealth of knowledge these women have!!!
