After a year of lurking...progress followed by setbacks...who knew that this girl's words would be the thing that pushed me into getting serious about my hair...Since I really don't want to write a book I'm going to get to the point..I was in the cafeteria at my college when my roommate and her sorority sisters decided to join me for dinner..Since my roomie just joined this sorority I did not know these other girls that well. After talking and laughing with them for a while I thought hey these are some really cool ladies...well I spoke or shall i say "thought" to soon..out of the blue one of the girls turns to me and says.."I know I don't know you like that but..what is up with your hair?"...my mouth literally dropped to the floor...my response was " I just took my micro's out a week ago so..." she was like "oh ok"...Now ladies..it really doesn't look that bad I have a headband on and since my hair is only NL I just pinned the back up so it's not touching my neck. I don't know maybe I'm overreacting but I've always been the type of person to take care of my appearence and I know the majority of my college years I've been slacking (sweat pants, t-shirt + 30lb weight gain) except for special occassions but I just didn't think it was that bad for a stranger! to call me out. There's more I could say but I'll leave it at this...Here are my hair pics over the last few years.
The first two pics are from 2006/2007
3rd pic and 4th pic are from 2008
The most recent one is the 5th pic and that was probably Jan 2010 (note. the front bang part is a hair piece)
I don't really have a regimen since I pretty much go to a salon every week. I've tried so many products but my hair doesn't turn out looking "good" when I do it.

And I covered it up with bad makeup. A year later my skin looks a LOT better. I don't think they meant to get under my skin like they did, but it did do some good. It sparked an interest in making myself a better person physically and mentally. So just take it for what it's worth.
hopefully you'll find a lot of helpful info here. Don't worry, no one here is that tactless and rude -- I bet she was probably trying to be funny. And what DOES her hair look like?

I've been in the same situation in the past as well. Take your time and do as much research as possible, don't be afraid to ask questions. Also, try checking out some of the Fotkis of some of the members that have the same hair type as you (Everything doesn't work for everybody but it helps to try some of the techniques of those that have similiar hair types
