Hi, I joined in order to search the forums, and I find myself reading more and more. I am getting pulled in to the feeling of community here. Although it is mainly a hair board, it is also a nice community of my peers and I kind of like it.
About me: I already know what works for me, but every once in a while I read something and think, "that's brilliant" and add it to my vault of useful things.
I have a few girls, each with different kinds of hair, so I like to see what others do so I can incorporate those ideas for my girls.
I like verifen products (wanakee) $$$ it feels good and I think they were well engineered. I also like setting lotion as a moisturizer and blue magic hair grease as a sealer / lubricant. This combination has done wonders for me and hardly cost anything. So I go between the two sets. I relax my hair about 3-4 times a year, and usually braid (and by that I mean plat in about 150 small plats) 5 weeks post relaxer. This has also helped me with growth and less manipulation.
Anyway hello I am here usually lurking, but glad to do it.
 
Welcome! Sounds like you already have your regimen down. How long does it take you to do 150 braids! Just curious.
 
Welcome lovely lady! :wave: Enjoy your time here and check out the stickies. They are so helpful. There's one for newbies and a brand new one for fine-haired beauties. :clapping:
 
hey lady! Welcome! 3-4 for braids that last 4-6 weeks huh? I like that! Do you do childrens hair as well? DC is not far from me at all:spinning:I can't wait until you get a hair album but I sure others will say the same.
 
Hello Daaiyah...:wave:
Welcome to your new addiction


I'm curious because something in your post caught my eye...what type of setting lotion do you use as a moisturizer. When I think setting lotion, I think lotta body and the foam wraps. They don't dry out your hair??

I am sorry it took so long, but I am learning how to to navigate the site still.

I use Ultra Sheen Supreme setting lotion for a moisturizer on the ends. It has protein and oil, a nice slip and it works really well for me. It is like a leave in, but I dont use enough to make my hair wet. My hair is very porous and it (combined with oil to seal) makes my hair very smooth and shiny.

LOL. I do childrens hair all the time. MINE. That's how I got so good and fast. Those girls have alot of hair. If I had to comb their hair every morning, I would develop carpel tunnel.
