LOL, you sound like me. But a lot of people have told me about products that just stop working on their hair. Almost like the immunity you get after virus. I'm scared of that.
I have learned to leave certain things alone. I am experimenting with the Indian hair products because I want to get away from synthetic materials. But I have a small list of things that I'm not trying to replace. And there are only so many products that I can try. But my motto is "the more natural, the better" so I'm really savaging for a very good natural shampoo and conditioner. I already have oil.

I agree, I do think height makes a difference b/c it takes more hair to make bra strap on a taller person than on a shorter one

You are right! I am 5/10" therefore, I have a long, long way to go before I hit BS.
Valleygirl, your hair is absolutely beautiful. You have done an excellent job of keeping it healthy and it shows.
Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration to many, including myself.
Take care,

Valleygirl, as usual your hair is looking beautiful. I now have 2 fave pics of your hair. The Red one and the textures & tones one. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
BTW I knew the mini was popular in the US now, but i didn't realise it had taken off like that.

Valleygirl, You have gorgeous hair. How long did it take to accumulate that length from the shoulders to below bra strap?
Can I just say that I've ALWAYS loved the mini!! Isn't it a cute car?? If I ever had one, I'd probably get the racing green. Those cars are so cute and have stood the stand to time.

Gorgeous hair
Ok, Valleygirl! I'm really late with the Kudos but I'm giving it up nonetheless. Well done, gorgeous, inspirational....
See, you natural ladies make a sista want to give up on all the chemicals and just tough it out for a couple of years! Sigh! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif
May I ask what you consider your hair type to be?? If you say 4A, I'm never doing another relaxer again....lol
Thanks for sharing the pics and keep up the great work!

P.S. It's funny about this hair board! You can totally tell who has achieved great length/health by the number of responses to the post on the Main Index page with just these simple words, " Here are my pics".....lol

Re: Gorgeous hair
OHMIGOD! Now I have to do a search for all of your posts and print out your regime.
Because even though, I don't think I have any 3C in my head, my hair kind of resembles yours in it's natural state!
I too am sorry that I missed the SO Cal meeting. It won't happen again, I promise!
Thanks for the quick response, Valleygirl!
I've got goosebumps! I think I'm going to do the natural thing now! I really do!
(Allandra, are you paying attention? /images/graemlins/wink.gif )

Valleygirl!!!
Your hair is STILL gorgeous. I think I'm going to have to post one of your pictures on the fridge for inspiration!!! /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif
By the way, do you still do the "no poo" method?
I've tried it as a natural and relaxed and I find that I have to shampoo after doing the "no poo" once during the week. I get build up and my hair feels coated and dirty. (No matter how much I "shampoo" it with the conditioner). My curls also look better after shampooing with real shampoo.
I was just curious is the no-poo method worked for you in the long run.
