[longhairgoal]

1. Why did you decide to join LHCF?
After deciding to try to grow my hair to my waist, I went looking for info. on how other people have done it. I discovered LHCF and found like I had struck gold. I joined because there were actually people here who had accomplished a goal I was setting for myself, and I thought that I could learn from them how to grow my hair longer.

2. How has LHCF help you take better care of your hair?
For me, the product recommendations and technique reccomendations have been wonderful. And when I have a desire to cut my hair, I just logon and check out some of the albums of others who have reached their goals, and it makes me step away from the scissors.

3. How long did it take you to make and or reach you hair care goals?
I originally had a goal of waist, then I switched my goal to my current length. It has taken me about two years to reach my goal.

4. Do you have a better understanding what types of what your hair type is and what vitamins, products, and styling tools affective in growing your hair?
I don't know that I really believe in "hair type." I do think that I have a better understanding of what to use and what not to use on my hair. I also think that LHCF helps you to identify individuals who have hair similar to yours, so you can pretty much figure that if the products work for them, then they will probably work for you, too.


5. What books and websites were most effective in you quest for healthy hair?
I like Lisa Akbari's book, which has really good shampoo techniques. I also like Carolyn Gray's Web site, and the hairoil.com Web site and the hairlady's Web site just for the pictures.

Still trying to get there

[luvSLave]

1. Why did you decide to join LHCF? I'd moved to a new area and couldn't find a stylist I liked so I started doing my own hair for the first time in my life. Was online searching for tips on haircare and found the site. Joined because the layout was user friendly, the vibe mellow and the info most helpful.

2. How has LHCF help you take better care of your hair? More than anything, I can now diagnose and treat hair issues that I previously just accepted. For instance, now when I get breakage I can tell if it's becasue the strands are weak (and need protein) or dry (and need moisture).

3. How long did it take you to make and or reach you hair care goals? My first goal was to get my hair in shape and learn how to maintain it's health. It took almost a year because for a long time I was trying everything I read about instead of paying attention to what actually worked for me.

4. Do you have a better understanding what types of what your hair type is and what vitamins, products, and styling tools affective in growing your hair? I understand about hair types but don't find it useful at all. The other things have been incredibly helpful in retaining growth (although not necessarily in growing hair).

5. What books and websites were most effective in you quest for healthy hair? Just this site. The ladies of LHCF are pretty active in the hair game so they come back and paraphrase, critique and analyze all the other stuff. I visit other hair boards now but I find this one the most informative, if only for the archives.
