So I found LHCF by some miracle in 2003 I believe. Since then I've been an on again off again member. There will be a few months where I'll be on LHCF intensely and then for a few months I'll rarely check it, no fault of LHCF, just my own laziness.
I've learned A TON, since joining this sight. My biggest problem I think is that I don't stick to a particular regimen or I haven't found a regimen that really really boosts my length. I've tried so many different things, from surging to hf37 to drinking a gallon of water each day to cowashing to braiding, to weaving, to getting my hair washed and set each week at a dominican place, I could go on and on.
The state of my hair now is that it is still that coarse but thin 4a/b texture, I have it relaxed. It's brushing my shoulders but not really resting on it. It thins out at the ends not really sure how to get my ends to be as thick as the roots. I am currently 8 weeks post relaxer, I hope to get to 11 weeks this stretch (which is the longest for me without braids). I use a Chi Flat Iron to straighten the roots and smooth out the texture after washing my hair. I'm trying to wear a simple protective style, even if it's not cute as much as possible.
To top this off the other day I was having a discussion about good hair/bad hair with my cousin and best friend. The two of them have shoulder blade length relaxed healthy hair. Their texture is between 3a-3c. They think I'm crazy for being on LHCF. They think that some people's hair have a good grade of hair and some people have a bad grade of hair and those with the bad will never grow as long as those with the good. I then asked my best friend if she thought her hair was better than mine, she looked away from me and wouldn't answer so I asked her again and she said yes. She said after all the things you do to your hair and all the things you know about hair, it still never gets long, it's just not meant to be long.
Sorry to be a party pooper but I'm just feeling really frustrated about not finding a real rhythm to stick to for my hair and starting to wonder if they are right....

Dry skin, dry hair, dry lips, you name it.
