Introduce Yourself Here

Hello,

I am afrolinda. I'm new to this forum but I've been hearing a lot about it so I decided to register myself. I am natural for 18 months now and I am still letting my hair grow. I will show you the results soon.
 
Hey everyone,

Well I've finally become a member I've been a free member since 2005, and have been using the tips on and off since then. But since it's the new year, this year for me will to be to focus on my health and spirituality. 2007 is all about mind, body and soul for me.

Hope everyone thats new finds great tips.
 
Ooooooh, pay $5!

Hiya! I just figured out how to post. I was irritated last night GIRRRL when I couldn't join.

I decided to join after I succeffuly installed my own cornrowed (teeny weeny french braids actually) hairweave for the first time! I'll make time to add photos to show my progress and all. I'm going from a Halle Berry-cut in braids (April 2006) to a big GIGANTIC afro that I'll likely wear in a bun all the time when it all grows out... Point is, it's growing and I saved like $200 doing my own daggone weave myself! :p
 
Hi, I've been to the website on and off for about 4 months now, and finally decided to register. The only problem is that I'm so confused, I'm not entirely sure what to do next. If anyone can help me out with this, that would be wonderful. I look forward to learning how to post pictures and learning the hair lingo! lol :)
 
hello everyone, i have been on and off this site since around july of last year. and i have learned alot about our hair and how to grow and maintain it. i konw that i need help in my journey and i said that i may as well pay the $5.00 to get the help that i need, i think it will be more than worth it. i hope to be consistant in my new goal and take the best cae of my hair that i possibly can. i just need ya'll help. so thanks for being here for all of us registered and lurkers, but lurkers, you gotta join officially:)
 
Hello Ladies!

This is a great site. I've been perm-free since June 06' and did the big shop off in Dec 06'. So, this site has been invaluable to me as I transition from perm to all-natural. Any advice you ladies can offer me would be great for those of you with the 4a hair type who have transitioned successfully.
 
Hi everyone Misseyl, been lurking for about 3/4 years, registered for some time, joined today -- Glad to be here:)
 
Hello Ladies Mili here,

I have learned many great things in the short time I have visited with LHCF and look forward to learning more.

Thanks Loads!!

Hello...I am new to the forum and am interested in re-growing my natural hair. I recently did a BC of my 11 year growth of locs and looking to start a new. I've learned so much since I have been perusing the sight and am looking forward to meeting other natural sistas.

Peace and prosperity
 
Hello Ladies,

I, like many, have been a lurker for sometime now. The healthy hair care information provided on this board is priceless. I am so surprised at what I DON'T know about healthy hair care. And, I am very thankful that I found this board.:look:
 
Just wanted to say HI to everyone and introduce myself. I found this site about a week ago looking for haircare tips. I have learned so much and plan to keep learning and GROWING. I am looking forward to learning to post pictures and to getting my avatar up (confusing) :p .
 
Hello All!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am 25 years old; live in MD but born and raised in Bklyn, NY. I just subscribed today and I am anxious to learn about all the ways to successfully grow my hair.

I have had a "hair nightmare" that I am waking up from. I know it will take some time so I will learn as I grow! ;)
 
Hi everyone,

I joined yesterday and just wanted to introduce myself. I am 30 years old and is currently living in Birmingham, Alabama. My goal is to grow my hair the lenght it was before damaging it so much with home perms and coloring.

I have really thin hair (the type that is curly when wet or properly oiled) and it tends to break a lot. I have started to stretch out my perms as long as possible because I really don't need them every month. Anyway, I am really interested in learning from you guys and sharing my experiences.
 
Hello everyone, I am new to this discussion and I really need help with maitaining hairstyles while taking showers (I love showers). My hair tends to frizz up when it is supposed to be straight and go flat and frizzy when it is supposed to be curly. Needless to say, I waste my money by going to the beauty salon because I always end up with a pony tail. I am the pony tail queen and have been all of my life. I am thirty-five years old and can still pass for twenty because of the pony tail. Please help!!!

:confused: :confused:
 
Well I couldn't find the Introduction Forum so I guess I should just post it here.

I registered a while ago but I've never subscribed or really read posts. I'm trying to learn more about hair care in an environment that is friendly to all hair types, hopefully this is the right place. I know a few people who frequent so I decided to try it out.

I've been taking care of my hair for about 3 years now, when I decided to transition from relaxed to natural hair. It's been 2 years since I chopped out my relaxer and I really want to grow my hair longer and learn about taking really good care of it. Right now I don't do too much and it grows okay but I've been experiencing a lot of breakage.

Feel free to check out my fotki site and let me know if you have any suggestions as to where to start. http://public.fotki.com/UMBlessedBeauty1/
 
Hi,

I'm a newbie! I've come to this site just to look about 3 or 4 times before I decided to subscribe... Now I am here for good! I've been natural for a year now since transitioning for a year. I did go natural about 5 years ago for 9 months before reverting back to a relaxer. I just didn't know how to deal with such a dramatic change in hair texture. Last year I was blessed to find plenty of websites that gave tips on dealing with my texture of hair and have been happily doing my own beautiful head of hair ever since.

I was relaxed from the time I was 8years old until about 21 when I decided to do my first BC. My hair was long when it was relaxed and before I relaxed at 8 I had these huge long braids all over my head, so I was disappointed with my hair texture and length after I BC'd. My self-esteem was at it's lowest. I didn't understand shrinkage... in my head after 9months... my hair wasn't growing. I could find hardly any support. Everyone would look at me in disbelief and ask me "What did you do to your hair"?!... even I was like,"What do I do with it?" This lead to me returning to relaxer.

Finally, last year, I decided," I want to love myself the way the Most High made me, he didn't make any mistakes"! I found a network of sister's with the same knowledge system as myself and appreciation for natural hair and I let go of society's judging and pressure to look like everyone else, and began my natural journey. Now my final step in this process is to grow my mane as big and beautiful as it is supposed to be! I hope the tips from this site will help me do just that! You guys have BEAUTIFUL heads of hair

By the way, I am a huge PJ so I look forward to trying most of the products mentioned;)

Hi everyone,
I am new here. I've been looking at the site for about a week and now I am a member. I am glad I found it. My hair is shoulder length but it always looked thin. I bought Cathy Howse's book and now my hair is looking better in just a couple of weeks. My last relaxer was Feb 9th 2007. I'm trying to stretch it out a little more because I always went every 4 weeks. I don't know how you guys are able to stretch your relaxers out for 8 weeks and 3 months? I have type 4a hair. So if anyone has suggestions, I am all ears.
Thanks
:)
 
Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I’ve been lurking around for awhile and decided to final join. Right now I’ve been transition for 7 months and need all your ladies help. So any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi everyone. I am not sure if I am using the right area to introduce myself. I just subscribed and i am looking forward to lots of good hair advice. I have had a scalp problem for a couple years now and of course it led to hair loss. It is better now but not as it used to be which was thick and long. Right now during the winter my hair becomes very dry. The top of my hair is growing and getting longer but the bottom of my hair at the back is struggling.
Can I get some advice. Should I wash it every week instaed of every two weeks and how often should I moisturize, every day or every other day. Also what products out there are very good to add moisture during the winter. Presently I use mizani products and motions nourish leave in conditioner.

My goals:
1. Take care of my hair at home (except relaxer).
2. Have healthy hair.
3. Be able to teach others about having healthy hair.

Thanks everyone. ~

Hey Ladies! I'm Eunique, I'm seventeen and I'm new to LHCF! I've been browsing for a while but I decided I'd finally say hello! I'm currently rocking a short and sexy style. I cut my hair back in July because I was tired of the battle with my hair. My moms a beautician and she convinced me that it would look gorgeous because she has skills. It turned out great but I've always wanted to have long healthy hair, so hear I am starting over! You ladies all seem so welcoming and I am so glad to be apart of a community of such wonderful people! :)
 
:) Hello everyone! I registered a couple days ago. My goal is healthy hair and BSL. My hair 4a/4b reaching the nape of my neck. My hair is relaxed, last one 2/5/07 and now trying to go 8wks, I usualy go 4wks. I hope to find a regime that works for me and hopefully stick to. Thanks for all the great advice!

Welcome Rose2grace! Im glad you joined, I just joined myself last week. We have a lot in common as for as hair type and length Im texlaxed. I texlax every 8-10 weeks (at least that is what I've started doing). I think you are on the right track with trying to go 8 weeks :clapping: because it is better to have enough newgrowth in order not to overprocess pre-relaxed hair. When you get into your regimen and start using and testing products, let us (me) know what is a success and what sucks.
