Introduce Yourself Here

Hi, I'm Brandi. 22 years old with relaxed 4a/b hair. I've been lurking the board since early 2004, but just started really paying attention to my hair last year. February '06 I had my hair cut into a very short style similar to "the Toni Braxton" style from the 90's because my ends were a mess and bad dye job made my hair break off in a major way. I had less than 2" of hair in some places! 1 year and 3 months later, my hair is shoulder length (my hair grows in layers so it's right at my shoulders on the sides & 1.5" past shoulders in the back) for the first time in 10 years and looking healthier than ever. My next goal is APL by February 2008.
 
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO PUT A PHOTO BY MY NAME AND HOW TO INCLUDE PHOTOS IN THE TEXT. I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE AND I FEEL SO STUPID BECAUSE I CANT FIND OUT HOW THIS WORKS.
 
Hey! I've been lurking for a few months and finally decided to join up. I'm a multi-textured natural that is predominately 4-ish. I think stretched my hair is APL in the back and in the front is a couple inches past my chin. I am getting married in August and I will most likely texlax right before the wedding. I have been incessantly stalking all of the texlax instruction threads :lol:. I really baby and take care of my natural hair but I really don't know a lot about caring for relaxed hair. I have learned so much in the short period of time that I have been here and I'm looking forward to learning more.
 
Hello everyone!!!! I am new in this journey to healthy hair, and I just wanted to say Hey! Look forward to learning from eachother!:)
 
Hi everyone:) I am so excited that there is a forum like this one that is very supportive. My hair is shoulder length and I would like for it to get longer maybe APL. I was wondering if there is anyone meetings in Virginia, the Hampton Roads area (Norfolk, VA Beach, Chesapeake, etc.). If so please let me know. I am definitely interested.
 
Hi everyone,
I have been impresed and somewhat left speechless with the photos I've seen and things I've read on this site.
I just joined about 4 days ago and I'm excited to really begin a hair journey I know I will not regret! My hair is in micros now so I can't really tell how long? it is. I had a bad experience where my sister relaxed my hair and did not use a neutralising shampoo to wash it so I had to chop out a lot of hair:ohwell: Anyhow my hair goal is to grow it to midback and grow my 22month old daughter's hair long the natural way! Looking forward to helpful tips and a wonderful learning experience in this hair growth quest:D
Tata!
p.s
Are there people of Nigerian origin on this site?
 
Hey virtuous women,

It's me, Ms. Jackson representing from the small town of East St. Louis in Illinois, ( no, not the same as St. Louis). I recently became a natural hair beauty ( I grew my perm out by keeping it in braids) and all I can say is that it's extremely freeing. I just returned from a trip to NY and Philly and met Desree a friend of a friend of mine who I share the same name, different spelling( Candice) and she recommended this site so here I am excited to read and hopefully not lose my sight in the process. I hope to read more soon.
 
Hi everyone::)

I'm new to the forum and very excited about it. I'm Roz, 32, from Baltimore. I have relaxed, BSL 3c hair. I'm trying to go natural, and thought this site would be a great place to get hair care info. I've learned more about hair care than I ever could imagine. My goal is to have healthier hair overall,l and to grow back some thin patches around my hairline as the result of medication. I'll post pictures soon. so glad to be here.

Take care!
 
Hi Ladies

Okay - this is my first entry on LHCF - I have been looking for something like this for awhile - I was so surprised to find black women supporting eachother in growing our hair - this is great - I'm still getting the hang of this whole thing so I have NO picture up yet - but I'm glad I can introduce myself - I am shoulder length relaxed, I think 3C/4A type - I'm 9 weeks post relaxer and on the fence on stretching relaxers and/or full transitioning - since the stretch my hair has definately gotten a lot thicker - I just started the baggie method (just last week) but still go to the salon 1X per week - he uses all ceramic tools (blow dry/flat iron) - my ultimate goal is BSL for sure - to do my hair myslelf - and not depend on my stylist - I've NEVER had that length before soo we'll see - I've noticed a lot of growth, but he says he wants to trim 1/8th of an inch or so nxt. week - I'm not so sure about that - he just cut/trimmed my hair on 4/19 - oh and sorry so long - lol
 
Hi Ladies, I've been visiting this wonderful site for a while. I finally joined because after following the advise, my hair did grow. I ended up working again and didn't have the time to devote to my hair. Well it started thinning again.:mad: so here I am again. I'm Darlene, live the ATL, and have found so much wisdom on this site. I'm glad to be a part of the sisterhood. :grin: My goal is to have my hair grow to bsl. Currenty it's shoulder length.
 
Hi Ladies! I'm new to the board and am STRUGGLING trying to grow out very thin, soft hair that i'd kept really short for over 15 years. I'm convinced that ladies with thin hair can grow long hair in the absence of hair weaves, etc. My hair currently reaches the bottom of my neck (sorry, not sure how many inches) and i'd be happy to reach shoulder length. Most of the stylists in my local area suggest cutting it back to the 1/2 to 2 inch length, but I want to try something new. Any other ladies out there with genetically soft and thin hair?
 
Hi Everyone! My name is Vicki and I am new here too. Just found the fourm last night. I am 40, live in MA (moving to MD next year), happily married, no kids.

My hair is relaxed and color treated to cover a little grey. I have a very bad problem with breakage in the back of my hair. I'll post pictures later. My hair has always broken off easily in the back. I've been living with this for about a year now. It's time for me to figure out a solution. I grew my hair out long about seven years ago. Or actually, my stylist did it. Now I need to figure out how to do it myself.

I'm looking forward to learning from you all.
 
Hello all! I am a 25 year old law student living in Washington, DC. I have natural hair and I am working on growth and overall care and health for my hair. My hair is 3c/4a. My summer goal is to be more healthy overall and to find my product staples. I am wearing a partial curly weave until my hair is at a length that I can appreciate. That length will likely be when the shortest piece reaches chin length.
 
Hi Ladies-

My name Kamillya. I'm a married mother of two wonderful children. I live in Pennsylvania. I just recently cut off 12 inches of permed hair. It was damaged and breaking off all around the hair line. I figured, why not cut it off and start over again. My hair type is 4a natural. Right now I'm wearing a natural curly afro. My hair goal is obtain healthy strong hair. I would love to see my hair grow to waist length. This site seems to be filled with a group of wonderful women that are serious about hair. I'm glad I found you!

Hello ladies!!!!!!! I guess its time I stop stalking the site and actually partcipate. Well not stalking literally but you get my drift. I am really excited. Its time I take care of my hair before it quits and leaves me. I look forward to sharing my journey.

My hair is relaxed (3c/4a I think) and color treated (fuzzy navel). My hair hovers between shoulder length and a inch or two shorter. My goal is bra strap length. So I will need everyones encouragment.:D
 
Hello everyone,
I'm 2 days old here. I just wanted to check in and say 'hi'.:) This is my first post. I've read alot and learned a great deal already. What I've read so far has made me realize that I am able to have a good relationship with my hair; it's not just this irritating blob of fuzz on the top of my head...:)
 
Oops... forgot to mention that I've finally decided to go natural efter more than half my life on the relaxer... Phew, glad to be rid...

Right now my hair is about 2 inches long (if that):(. It's almost all natural apart from the ends (don't wanna chop more off really). I've just washed it, conditioned it and twisted it up... I'm not good with my hair. I don't know what to do with it. It just sort of sits there looking formidable. I think it's a type 4a - I'm not sure. It's corkscrewy - fine screws - and is 'S' shaped when stretched out. But the corkscrews are very small...

Must try and get a pic put up...

Anyways, hi :)
 
Hello, everyone :)

I'm a new mother to a beautiful 8 mo girl (the FH is away in the military until Sept), a college student, a business owner, and a total priss LOL

I had a hair horror happen to me two years ago, and I was so saddened by it, that I did a big chop to my ears in Nov 2005. Seems like my hair has slowed down it's growth, so I came back to the LHCF to try to get some insight!
 
Greetings and Salutations..Joined a while ago never really looked into the board...Until now...as I am serious about hair growth/maintenance
 
:) Hello everyone! I'm a new member too, and I'm looking forward to interacting with the group.

Regards,

InVue
 
Hola Everybody,

Im not very new to LHCF. I just never joined until today. (I was a little skimmish about paying for it with my card). But I'm here for pretty much the same reason as anyone else, I WANT MY LONG HAIR BACK!!! I had to Chop off my hair the 1st time due to an experiment that left me with little to no hair, and the 2nd time due to Wave Noveau. It completely damaged my hair. So Finally after reading so many posts, researching everything online, I am on my way to healthy hair. Hopw to mak many new friends and get/give many great tips! :D
 
Hi Ladies, I joined the board about a month ago, but today is my first time posting. I figured it was time to come out of "lurking" mode.

All the best to each of you!
