Hi! I am a new this board. You ladies are so intelligent and knowledgeable. It is nice to find a group of people who, like myself, are interested in longer/healthier hair. Half my family think im nuts because of all my products, vitamins, etc. /images/graemlins/wink.gif I am also writing on behalf of my little cousin who is eleven. She asked me tonight for some hair tips and I thought who better to ask than you guys! Her hair is natural and about neck length. I am not really sure what to tell her since I do not think her mom wants her on vitamins and may not want to spend lots of money on products or spend a whole lot of time washing etc.( They are an on the go family) My own hair is almost bra strap and relaxed. Sorry so long.. Nice to be here!
