Beautiful hair. There is so much inspiration. I can't wait for the day my hair is the long and beautiful. Did I say beautiful?

Your hair is simply gorgeous Lala and I love the simplicity of your hair regimen. I would like to simplify mine a little more.lala said:I almost missed this thread, you guys are so sweet!!!! Being compared to Supergirl is a huge compliment b/c she is definitely more beautiful than I am.
My hairtype is 4a and my new hairdresser just relaxed with Affirm relaxer. It's not too bad, but I prefer Design Essentials. I think it keeps my hair from drying out as much. My hairdresser back in Cincy would usually wrap my hair and I'd sit under the dryer for 2-3 hours. She would then just comb it out and lightly bump my ends with the Chi. I don't usually wear protective styles, although I should b/c my hair gets stuck in my purse strap, my desk chair, etc. My regime is simple. I go to the hairdresser! I've tried to do my own hair but it comes out bushy and thick. For some people the thick hair is lovely, but on me I don't like it. But anyway, between shampoos/touchups I minimize heat, although I do use my Chi if my hair gets too puffy. The products that I use are Now jojoba oil, Sabino moisture block, and L'occitane's shea butter creme around my hairline when it gets frizzy.
I think the main thing that has helped my hair to grow is not doing a lot of styling, my hair in the avatar is how it looks just about everyday. I do wear ponytails too. But I'd have to say that the only think that bothers me is that most people think my hair is fake. We practice smart hair tips and everybody thinks we're wearing weaves. Like I said in another thread, we've got to show the world that we can grow our hair long like everybody else!!!!!
I make sure I wear a satin scarf on my hair at night, but I don't wrap it. I just comb it back, twist it like I'm making a ponytail and then put a bobby pin at my hair line. That's it!!!! Thanks for the compliments, this really made my day!!!!
That is a huge compliment especially coming from you Supergirl...Supergirl said:Oooh La La is right! I am loving your length and yes you and Sherry Love could be hair twins.
