Hi ladies!I am new here, I am glad to start again with my hair. Very Very seriously this time lol.
Here's my long hair story....I have always had super healthy and fast growing hair without doing anything special, until 6-7 years ago. I have been permed as long as I can remember (maybe 6 or 7years old?) and never paid attention to what I was using. But 7 years ago my hair started breaking for no apparent reason, became dry and brittle. So I cut all and was natural for 4 years. It was hard to take care of my 4b hair as I did not know how to take care of natural hair. I read a little bit here and there, and thought I got it lol. I managed to get to apl in 4 years. Then I decided to perm with the "best" according to some boards. I used phytolaxer. Right while I was relaxing my hair became super dry and hard like straw!! After rinsing and neutralizing, it got worse.
I couldn't even comb it without breakage. I used several detangling stuff I had, nothing worked.
The day after I atempted a deep conditioning with one egg, olive oil and applied a warm towel. My hair became even worse.
I got fedup, took my scissor and cut it all again lol.
So I started over again with micro braids, until now. but I have been cutting my hair every other month because I liked short braids.
unfortunately now my hair is thinning on the front. So I need to stop the braiding thing.
I have decided to start over again, regrow my hairline and keep some lenght.
I have been reading here for days now and I realize all the mistakes I made before. I think I am on the right track now. I will get pictures soon to document my progress.
Thank God for this forum!

and 
to you both!! I'm fairly new here too, and the wealth of knowledge I've gained is miraculous--it has to be, given that I'm steeping an ayurvedic tea right now when 2 months ago I'd have no clue what you're talking about!!
