Hello everyone.It is so great to see other AA women discuss hair care. For the past few weeks, I have been a lurker, & decided to join this site. I am rather shy(even online) so it took a bit to even post this hello.I've had long hair all of my life. All of the women in my mother's familly has long hair & I had two great aunts with knee length hair. My hair is between bra strap & waist length. I am currently growing it back to tailbone. Athough I don't have a relaxer, years of color, blow drying, & styling killed my hair a few times which cause me to have a major cut every other year. My hair has grown from shoulder length to it's current length within a year. The last time I colored it was March 2002. I wash my hair every 3 days using Garnier Fructis Shampoo & conditioner for dry hair & the 3min conditioner. I apply EVOO thruout my hair while it is wet & let it airdry unless I want to wear it straight, then I will blow dry with a huge round brush. Durring the Summer, I will rinse & condition & wear it in a ponytail bun since it is SOOOOO hot where I live. As a protective style I will wear it in a nice victorian bun & some really funky earrings to perk up the look. I haven't really figured out my hair type yet & will post pics as soon as I can take them. Take care.
