This is why I indicated my hair type as 'naturally wavy' - since I'm uncertain about that particular scale that Andre(?) uses.

Allandra,
You're very realistic because Im uncertain about Andre's scale as well. Some of the types sound the same to me and it's confusing. So Im not even sure if Im 3b/4a...it's just a guess.

I'm glad you know what I mean. I remember another member here (sorry, don't remember who at the moment) said hair type is just as unique as fingerprints. She said there can be so many more types than Andre listed in his book. I definitely agree with that member. Someone once asked me, if your hair type is such-in-such, then why do you get your hair relaxed.

I feel much more comfortable saying my type is relaxed (NOT bone straight) and still naturally wavy. Ya know?

How often do you relax? How long do you allow the relaxer to stay on your hair (or do you get it professionally done?)

[/ QUOTE ]
I get relaxer touch-ups every four months.

Once the relaxer has been applied to my new growth, it gets rinsed out (starting with the section that was relaxed first).

I get them professionally done.
 
Allandra,

How often do u wash, shampoo, and condition your hair???

What hair styles did u usually wear when growing out your earlobe length hair???

I usually shampoo and condition my hair every three days. However, with my work schedule being so crazy lately, for the past few months, I had to resort to one day a week (which is pretty hard for me - because I love clean fresh hair). I had to wear my hair out when it was short. When internet hair clubs came my way (1999 / 2000), I started wearing protective styled. The one that worked best for me was the INFAMOUS BUN.

I also like using claw clips, one braid, two braids.
 
Thanks for the info. I tried to go post relaxer for 3 months but I couldn't do a thing with my hair after only 2 months (humidity is a beast). I just relaxed my hair a week ago (May 12th) prior to that I texturized (I only let the relaxer stay on my head for 5 mins.) March 12th. My May 12th relaxer was my first experience with lye (I think I did a good job because I still feel waves and it's not bone straight). I wish I could go without a relaxer for 4 months. I think thats excellent!

Allandra, did you have long hair as a child?

[/ QUOTE ]
Not this long (not long as a child). This is the longest my hair has ever been.
 
Allandra,

Can u give us any info about your regime or any secrets that can help us achieve long hair such as breakage prevention, products u use, etc.???

Do u have your regime posted somewhere? If not, what is it?
 
I honestly don't have any secrets. I do wear my hair in protective styles 99 % of the time (probably more than that). You can click on my name to view my little website (under my bio section). There you will find my regimen. I really do feel as though protective styles helped me a lot.
 
It's nice to know more of the secret woman Allandra

I'm sure your hair is long and beautiful and I take your word for it

I've seen a picture of Allandra's hair a long time ago on a Yahoo! group. It looks exactly the way she describes it in her signature. She forgot to mention that it was shiny, though.

Aww thanks Leejure. You're always so sweet and kind.
 
Oh yeah, I wanted to comment on so1913's hair. For those of you that have been fortunate enough to see her pics in the past, this lady has some of the shinest hair I have EVER seen. Yes, you will need to put on some shades for her hair.
cool.gif
Oh yeah, she used to be scissor happy too. Please don't get me so1913 for telling that.

Anways, you have a beautiful head of hair.
