Wow, thanks...some look so very similar. I wonder how one would choose one type over another. Unless pricing varies greatly.
Thanks!

Here's mine:
What does it mean to "tag" someone? And how do you do it? Can I do it on my iphone app?

Tag is when you want to include someone in the conversation, like if your on Facebook and you post a pic of whatever and you tag someone that's basically like saying look at this picture, so when they log in they will be notified they have been tagged and they will see it , you can tag people on any phone on a social network

Ohhh! I get it. So how do I do it on LHCF? Is it the same as a mention? I know how to do that one but...
ETA: Ohh, I see the tag button now ghat I am on my tablet. Not sure if it can be done using the app. Thanks again!!

mshoneyfly, yes some people use "tag" to mean mention. So when someone says "tag me when there are any developments" they mean mention them so they get an alert to come and read.
On the forum, Tag that you see at the top does something different from a Mention. When you Tag someone, they are alerted to come and read a thread from the beginning. You would use Tag if you are, say, the OP of a post and want people to read your thread so you bring them to it. You would also Tag someone if you see a discussion you know that person may be interested to see so they can read from the OP. When you mention someone, that person is directed to the single post in which you mentioned him or her. HTH

What is UFD? Is a product or product line?

Why are there so many sulfer-based products that are good for your hair yet sulfate-based products are bad as they strip your hair of it's natural moisture? I don't remember my chemistry too well but isn't sulfate a sulfer-based compound?

bhndbrwneyes, elements are very different from compounds made from those elements and other elements. Sulphur is harmless on skin if you're not allergic to it, but sulphuric acid will burn your skin even though it is made of relatively safe elements. Another example is oxygen which is safe to inhale but carbon monoxide is not, even though it has oxygen and carbon both of which are safe elements on their own.

NaiyaAi The only explanation I can see for that is your hair growth rate has increased due to better so your strands reached their shedding point faster catching up with those that had gotten there on the previous slow rate...and over time, this will even out and return to normal.
Unless your hair is thinning and you're seeing balding or unless you are picking up over 150 strands every single day, I say stop worrying. Worry will make you bald.
If you don't manipulate your hair for a week, 700 strands is what you should expect to see when you do manipulate it. I think many people love to hold onto shed hair which is why so many have tangles and knots while those of us who are happy to remove shed hair never have those issues.
So yeah, only worry if your hair is thinning or you're balding or the strands you remove on consecutive days is over 150 each day.

Allandra and ladies --- I am having a sleep study done this weekend and I'm nervous about the removal of the glue stuff from my scalp (leads are placed on the scalp with glue). Most say it's very hard to remove. How do you suggest I remove the glue from my scalp?
Allandra, I mention you because it seems I remember you having an exam that required glue/gunk being applied to the scalp. Please disregard if I'm incorrect.

Yep, I've had leads glued to my scalp for several types of tests. The glue has never bothered my hair or scalp. You should be fine with shampooing it out.

You want accurate test results, so you want all of the leads to stick to your scalp properly. So, please go with no product in your hair and scap. My health was (and still is) top priority, so I was not concerned with keeping my hair tidy during any of the tests. I came in with a scarf on, and I left with a scarf on (of course the scarf was removed when I got there to place the leads on my scalp and do testing). Do not stress over your hair. You'll be fine.

Is combing out your hair less damaging than using a blow dryer to stretch your hair?

Allandra, thank you and you're correct that health is way more important. I was only going to put a tad bit on the ends to keep them from getting tangled up and causing issues the next day when I wash but I won't do that for safekeeping. I'm acne prone so I love to scarf whenever to protect my finicky skin. I'm just nervous about the entire thing and will just relax now. 
Thanks again.

I think combing is less damaging if you have patience and know how to comb your hair w/o ripping it pieces. The thing with blow drying is I believe it can cause bubble hair. This is where moisture in your hair gets hot and expands creating bubbles inside the strands that then cause midstrand splits. Braiding hair firmly while damp stretches my hair pretty well so that blowdrying isn't necessary.

Thanks! Can't bubble hair be avoided? And also when you braid, how many do you do?

I was about to ask what IIRC means, but did a quick google. For anyone whose wondering and doesn't want to ask another dumb question, its "if I remember correctly"
Thank you. No, really.

Igotstripes, please mention me when you ask me a question so I don't miss it. Mentioning sends the person an alert that lets them know you spoke to them and all it takes is adding @ immediately before the name of the person you are addressing.
I don't know how bubble hair can be avoided. Maybe silicon products which are poor heat conductors can help but if the temperature of the moisture inside your strands gets to boiling point, then it is impossible to prevent it turning into vapor. Blowdrying seems to me to be particularly dangerous coz it is done to wet hair. Which could mean hair that has absorbed all the water it can and has more sitting on top of it. The idea of blow drying is to raise the temperature of moisture on the hair to boiling point so it evaporates and since it has the same BP as that inside, then methinks bubble hair is likely to happen. IIRC, there was a discussion on midstrand splits and the common thread in those who had them was using heat and/or brushes.
I do as many braids as my length allows. If my hair is short I would do many. If long, maybe 4. The idea is however many/few I feel are not too many to be a pain undoing with fingers but not too few to not provide a good stretch. The tail of the braids provides the best stretch so I make sure a good length is contained in the rope part of the braid.

wash and baggy.
I see this one a lot. I know it involves some kind of hair maintenance but I am not familiar with the term. I have been in this forum lurking a lot but here is a term that I have not been able to figure out: bagging. I know it involves some kind of process for moisturizing hair... but that is about all I know.
