Hi! 
Stop me if you have heard this story before...
)
After spending months visiting LHCF numerous times a day, I decided to become a full fledge card carrying member.
I am so excited to be among the ranks of so many shades of beautiful women who all are passionate about having great hair!
I have to admit, before finding LHCF, I didn't put much thought or effort into taking care of my hair. I have gone Brittany Spears on my hair maybe 2 or 3 times w/in the last 4 or 5 years or so ( give or take a year). In fact, my regi has been going to the salon when I can afford it and cutting it all off when the damage appeared to be too much to overcome. My hair care tips usually came from an article or two from an Essence magazine. I have not had any luck finding a stylist with hair longer than shoulder length hair in my area. I know that's not a mandatory qualification to be a great stylist...just seems to lend them a little bit more credibility when they work with real hair IMO. Its been my experience that many of them are much better at doing weave than real hair. If I had a dollar for each time my wet curls were roughly combed through (as if I could go to the store the next day & buy it again) I would be able to clear up our nation's debt to China and also buy Fox News an occasional clue.
I am posting pic of my hair's current condition.
I get a relaxer about 2 -4 times/yr. I am not 100 % sure if I am really beyond APL. I am bra length with some bras and with some bras I am not. I think I am a 4a.... not too sure about that either. I put my last relaxer in myself about a month ago. I was really nervous about that because I have some breakage along my nape. The worst thing is I can't really account for how that happened exactly. My hair is kinda thin in some areas from having braids for a month some years ago. As a result, I cant use too much oil or heat protect or my hair will look thin, greasy and see through.
this is after a cowash with silk elements mega cholesterol and redken smooth down applied to my hair after....I can be the victim of horrible tangles if i don't apply moisture to my hair before combing through my wet hair.
nape damage..not sure how this happened. found it a few months ago
after a flat ironing with matrix vavoom gold heat
