Hi, everyone! I've been lurking here for months, but only started posting recently. My name's Rochelle. I used to post on Nappturality as Just Rochelle... which, technically, I guess I still am despite having picked a more whimsical SN here. Anyway....

I'm in my late twenties. (God, I feel old.) And I went natural a few months ago due to a lot of things: sick of perming, sick of hair breakage, a desire to just be myself. The actual story is a long one, though, and I'd rather not bore you. In any case, I'm loving the daylights out of my natural hair and wouldn't trade it for the world. Hair type: probably a range from 3b to 4a plus a wavy patch thrown in. In any case, it looks kind of like a non-drippy jheri curl. *g*

I'm here because I have no idea how long my hair can get when it's properly cared for. It's always been very dryness-prone, which made it break off easily. I can't recall a single hair I've lost to natural shedding (i.e. had a white bulb attached) instead of untimely breakage. This should be a neat experiement, seeing what my real maximum length is, and I've already learned quite a bit just from lurking here. I've never said it to you before, but thanks, everyone. You've helped me a lot.

General miscellaneous. My favorite foods are sushi, pizza, and (dare I say it?) fried chicken. I'm a bit of a sci-fi/fantasy junkie. I'm owned by a cat named Princess Kuja who I named after a character from a favorite video game. (Originally, her name was just Kuja. She earned the Princess part.) I'm a Christian, but not a conventional one. My personal studies, prayers and experiences have taken me in some unique, but fulfilling directions. I recently finished writing a young adult fantasy novel, and I'm trying to get it published now. Writing is my life.

I guess that covers it. You may now return to your regularly scheduled hair talk.

"The Childlike Empress" used to be my favorite character from The Never-ending Story.

Is the Mango butter from Elucence or Elasta QP (I forget which)? Is it easy to spread on the hair?
 
Welcome

Mine two! Don't make me start singing the main theme song/soundtrack from the movie

"turn around --look at what you seee-eeee-eee-eeee-eee"
 
Great. Now you've got that song stuck in my head. Everytime I hear it or think about it it takes about 3 days to get rid of!

Anyway, CE welcome to the board!

It's made by Elasta, and I think the ease of use depends on your hair. My hair absorbed it well, but others have comlained that they could never get it worked in very well and ended up with a white film on their hair.

And the Childlike Empress was my favorite character, too.

Still is, actually; I own the movie and still watch it sometimes.

Thanks for the welcomes so far, everyone! This seems like a really nice forum.

Aww, thanks.

In reference to all of the above, that means a lot to me. At the risk of sounding vain, I would've gone natural a long time ago if I'd known how much better it looks on me than the perm.
