(SORRY PICTURES ARE SO BIG. I'M FAR TOO LAZY TO RESIZE RIGHT NOW.)wow it feels GREAT to be a member here! i first stumbled across this website around 2005 looking for a quick fix. so i ran out and bought cream of nature shampoos and conditioners thinking i'd now have the long flowing hair i saw on the other ladies. when it didn't happen, i gave up on the forum and started going to a hair stylist that got my hair very healthy but it NEVER seemed to grow over 2-3 inches past shoulder length. discouraging much, especially since i went to her EVERY week for 3 years! 
in december 08 i decided i wanted the two tone look. you know, black on top, blonde on bottom. it ended up being black & brassy orange
.
i got this done right when i was moving from new orleans to los angeles and didn't have enough time to care for my hair. it broke off fiercely and i looked like a HAM! it was severely damaged. so i rediscovered the forums around february and became a SERIOUS lurker around march. i was lurking at school, out to dinner with my mom, at the movies watching the ugly truth with a date. at anytime someone could see me seriously into my phone. little did they know i was on the internet getting some knowledge haha. but anyway i hadn't had a relaxer since december. so i decided to make my first stretch 6 months (=. i actually went to about 7 months. when i got my hair relaxed i was seriously dissapointed. the hair stylist had basically cut off ALL my progess due to "bad ends." my hair was shorter when i left the salon, than when i went in! i was highly upset! i got my last relaxer on the 24th of september & i noticed my hair was actually growing, getting thicker, & finally becoming healthy due to my own doings (and the knowledge from here). i just want to thank all of you so much! i can't wait to start posting. especially in the off topic and entertainment forum. i hear(read) it gets really crazy in there haha. special thanks to members like traycee, sylver 2, loveya4ever, macheriamour, msa, tiffers, dlewis, allandra, aggie, pokahontas, bostonmaria, prettyfaceANB, naturaltobe, music-bnatural-smile, wheezy807, flowerhair, beans4reezy, neith, sherylstresses, and SO many more who's names i can't recall. i feel like i know all of you, in my head haha. weird, i know. so, i'll stop now. thanks for reading and i'll be posting photos and posts soon. have a nice day!
ps: i have 3c/4a, more 4a type hair. i have medium, normal sized strands and thick hair i'm relaxed with silk elements mild lye relaxer.
hair while still going to hair stylist. i'll do length shots soon!
