Introduce Yourself Here

Hi all. I have really short hair (maybe 2-3"). Last cut was the day before Easter with the hairclippers. (Had to cut it all off to make it even from my alopecia outbreak which took out my hair). I'm on the right track now for growing out my hair, hopefully the alopecia won't come back again.

Hair care: Wash daily; sometimes with plain water, other times with Nexxus. Condition bi-weekly with Ultra Black Hair Care peppermint conditioner and Nexxus alternating.

Products: Motions Pink Lotion, Shea Butter, Dew, Ultra Black Hair Care moisturizer, Paul Mitchells liquid curl definer and quick slip styling cream, Motions spray, Carole's Daughter, Surge, Monistat 7 (for the alopecia issue; which grew that spot back all the way), S-curl spray; of course not all at the same time, but some at different stages in between perms.

Vitamins: MSM 1000 mg, Biotin 30 mg, Hairtopia total (includes Amino Acids, Vitamins & Minerals, and Herbals), and Silica
 
Hi Everyone

I have recently become a paid member on monday but have been lurking for about three months. I am here in an attempt to regrow my once BSL hair which is currently a little past shoulder legnth. I've found a wealth of useful information most recently MN which I am giving a whirl. I hope to learn and "grow" with you ladies. I take all the ropanzel heads on here as proof you guys know what your talking about.:)
 
Hello ladies,

I only just joined yesterday after lurking for about 2 months and I really appreciate the wealth of information on hair care I've found here.

I was natural for the past 4 years and decided at the end of September to relax again now that I'm armed with the knowledge that I didn't have years ago (thanks LHCF!)

I have SL, 3c-4a hair and my goal is to have healthy, MBL hair. My hair at its absolute longest was only just past SL, so I hope I'm not setting the bar too high.;) In the meantime, I'm glad to be taking the journey with you guys!:)
 
Hi Everyone,

I too have been lurking on this site for months...I dont even remember how may:lol: . I am looking forward to learning a lot from all of you positive sisters and I am really happy to be here.

:lol: I've been lurking on this site for a little while too. I actually subscribed today!

My hair is 4a/b, and currently shoulder length. I used to think that I had long, healthy hair. But at the same time, would suffer from unmanagability and constant dryness.

I'm now eager to learn all that I can about my hair and hair care in general... I'm tryna maximize my growth, health, and style potential.
 
hi everyone, I am charlieweb, have been a member for about a week. Checked out the site for a few week. like it a lot. best that i have seen so far!! Looking forward to grow w y' all!!!

Hello Ladies!

This is such a useful forum and I am glad to have finally joined! I learned of this group a couple yrs back but never joined; why, I can't explain!

Anyhow, I am glad to be here and expect to share and gain some serious insight to this hair spectacular!! Oh and by the way, I just cut my hair to right above shoulder length due to damage caused by my confusion on wanting to remain natural, texturized, or perm. I traveled to NY to get the jazma.com product (originally out of Canada) - I was completely natural so this product reduced my curl/kink combination hair about 35%. It was beautiful when I left but horrific when I tried maintaining it. I then tried put more of the product in and achieved maybe 40%. Still not enougth relaxation. My ex-boyfriend then referred me to his good friend who owns a salon near my home and he made a very professional analysis of my hair and recommended the arosci texturizer. After he put that in and set my hair, it was really beautiful - about 75% relaxed (curly texture) when wet but beautifully straight after a wet set. Thanks for reading. If anybody has any tips on growing bra-strap length hair, I am a sponge; please share.

Thanks,
LongerHair
 
Hello all, been lurking for about a month and a half. This week, I got up the nerve to post. I have to say I have learned a lot and I am excited. I have purchased so much in the past month ...
I used to have long hair as did many of u. I got scissor happy after leaving home, started the weave thing and couldnt let go. In 03, had complications from Fibroids and my hair got weak as did my body. In 03 they were removed, but I hid behind half wigs until 05. Removed the half wigs and noticed the bald spot in the top of my head. Moved from Tx to Germany and started getting my hair braided by the "great hands" of the African women living here. My mother has not seen my real hair in over 6 years and keeps telling me so. I used to get mad, but now i understand because i have a daughter with 4a/b hair that hates weaves. After moving here it was so hard to get either of our hair done bcse of a shortage in hairstylists that specialize in bh. So I had to resort to finding ways to do her hair and mine without losing it. I stumbled on this website while buying hair from www.hairsisters.com and I havent been the same since.

So far, I have switched from all things bad as mentioned on this site (alcohol,petroleum...) and started using essential oils and MSM. Just from that change alone, I have some growth I didnt have b4. I will be purchasing MTG,WGO, Surge and Phyto products prior to Nov 06 and will not buy anything new till after Jan 07. I will also post pics to show progress. Tonight I am coloring myself blueblack and braiding on Wed so all of the growth will be very easy to show. Sorry my posts are so long, but I am tooo excited...

I had my trim in Oct, I have very thin 1b colored blue black
My daughter had a trim in Oct and very very thick 4a/b
I am working us both. She keeps asking me what I'm mixing in the bathroom!
 
Hello Ladies.
I'm a newbie to this wonderful site. I've also been looking around for awhile. I'm hoping to find tips to keep my hair healthy and growing. I was natural for 5 years and went back to a relaxer 2 years ago. Right now my hair is about shoulder length and I want to let it grow to mid back.
I see a stylist every other week, I have moved around a little bit because of disappointing results with my hair.
I'm experiencing some thinning around my edges and crown. My hair is very hard to detangle when it's wet and sheds more than it should when I do my hair (I usually roller set it and have a roller wrap at the salon e/o week). I have started deep conditioning my hair under a dryer, but that hasn't completely solved my problem. I've also had some breakage.
 
I'm new here and just registered yesterday!!! My hair has been breaking off, not like crazy or anything, but it's just been breaking and I have done protein treatments and hot oils and deep conditionings but their is still some breaking. Any suggestions??? I don't have a relaxer or any chemicals and I try not to use heat
 
Hello all. I'm a newbie up for the challenge! I lurked around for awhile, but I decided to go ahead and join. All of the tips and information shared on the board made this forum worth joining. I came across the forum looking for a good moisturizer. I'm still looking for the right product for my hair, but I look forward to my healthy hair journey!
 
Hello all!

Been lurking for a couple of years really!!! Had a wonderful hairdresser who really took care of my hair then she got sick. . . now my hair is sick!! I want to learn how to care for my hair without a lot of fuss and revolving door damage! Like my latest thing of relaxing AND dyeing my hair into a frizzy mess!!! Really enjoy reading some of your techniques and remedies for maintaining relaxed and natural hair. But where can I find the meanings for the acronyms used here? Like what is a WGO?
Thank you.
 
Hello All,
After months of lurking around I have finally decided to join. I look forward to building great friendships with you all as well as growing long and beautiful hair.



May God be with you all,
Lov3lyHair
 
Hi,

I'm new to the forum as well just want to say hello to everyone. I have so me questions based on everything that I have read over the past months. I'm just glad that there's young women out there that want to reach the same or simliar goals..

Angel;)
God Bless
 
Hi, I'm new here even though I've been coming to this site for the past few weeks. I've learned so much just by lurking and I've also purchased a lot of new products so I guess I'm a PJ now. I'm trying to establish a regimen so hopefully I'll get it together soon. I've been tryin to grow my hair for years. It used to be way down my back when I was a child but it just kept gettin shorter and shorter and I never figured out how to get it back to its full potential. I really believe LCHF is the answer to my hair problems so hopefully I'll be posting some results soon. I'm lookin to purchase some Original MTG and Surge 14. I'm also lookin in to some vitamins. I used to take prenatal vitamins even though I've never been pregnant because someone said that it helps hair growth. I dont wanna go on and on but any help is greatly appreciated. I need it!:perplexed
 
Greetings, Beautiful Women!! I'm Tahja Starr and I joined LHCF on Halloween. :) I began this journey 6 weeks ago, after my last relaxer. Unfortunately, I didn't get pics from that day. I've decided to stretch as long as possible.

I've used the flat-iron three times so far, and I LOVE it! Once I acquire a couple round brushes and a good dryer, I'm going to do monthly Dominican Blowout.

I started pampering my hair 6 weeks ago, and I've got 1/4 to 3/4" new growth. I've got 4a relaxed hair, THICK. Below the nape in the back, ear to chin length around the rest.

My regimen at the moment:
*Moisturize w/ Motions 2-3x daily, oil on ends & hairline.
*Scarf and updo's w/ PhonyTail (falls for performances)
*Wash 2-3x week. (I dance, teach, do cardio & yoga 3-4x week)
*Protein weekly. (ApHogee smells awful, gonna try a homemade mask soon)
*Flat-iron bi-weekly.
*Vitamins: Women's Multivitamin, Vitamin E capsules

I was hesitant to use occasional heat & brushes, but my hair takes to it brilliantly. My hair is beautifully dyed with Bigen's Oriental Black, but I read about the levels of PPD in it, and never again. Looking into henna down the road.

I also want to say THANKS to everyone for being a part of this forum. It's heartwarming to join such a positive and supporting community of women. Rarely have I encountered women that have an honest desire to encourage & help other women.

I've already learned so much from you! I'm inspired, enlightened, and look forward to my own journey to getting my hair as healthy and as long as nature allows.

I finally decided to stop lurking and signed up today. You all have been such an inspiration on this new journey of mine. I did a mid-chop about 2 years ago and have been transitioning from a relaxer since. I've been seriously considering Phyto II for my 4b (I think) hair. Any tips would be great.

Oh yeah, LOVIN the Keracare products!!!

Hi! I'm Tara and I'm relatively new. I've been feeling my way through the site and I keep learning so much! I wasted another day at work trolling the site. I've got to get a grip.

I live in Atlanta and I haven't had a chance to look yet, but hopefully there are some groups here. I have short natural hair 4a (?) and I'm looking to grow it out into a big beautiful afro. I think the techniqes I'm learning here will definately help.
 
Hello to everyone. I've been on here for a while but never introduced myself. I looooooove this forum and I have learned so much. My hair is not where I want it to be as yet but it's definitely not where it used to be. HHG to all the lovely ladies on this site!

Hello:

I am new to the board! I just want to introduce myself. I am from NJ and this is my THIRD go around with natural hair. The last time it was well past my shoulders. My goal is waist length. Some of the methods I have learned from this site have worked for me. I look forward to updating with progress. You ladies are an inspiration!
