Hello everyone,
I just joined today, but I have been reading posts on this board for a long time now. Just to let you know a little about my hair...
I am relaxed (been so since about the age of 13)
I learned how to take care of my own hair when I was in college, about 3 years ago, but only recently learned how to take care of it properly.
I usually use no-lye relaxers, but I want to and will be using lye (Affirm lye mild) from now on.
I use Aubrey's blue algea and honeysuckle shampoo and the J.A.Y. and GBP conditioners (absolutely love them).
I also just started using giovanni direct stay leave in conditioner with aloe vera gel, a tip I picked up from another board.
I air dry my hair (have been doing so for 5 years) Only use heat (about twice a month at the most) when absolutely necessary (like when the wrap or braid out didn't go quite as planned)
My goal is 25 inches of healthy shiny hair which I hope to have by Jan 2004.
I look foward to conversing with all of you and get ready for my many questions. From what I have read so far, you ladies are very well versed in haircare and definitely know your stuff. I love this board.
