Newbie comming out of her shell (with pictures)!

[DeniseH]

Hello LHCF! I have been lurking around this site since last year, and I decided to join due to the fact that I have gotten soooooo many great hair care tips and great product reviews from you ladies...You got it going on! /images/graemlins/clap.gif

My hair is 4b in texture and relaxed. My recent cut was a bob a few months ago, to get rid of some of the damaged ends I had from overprocessing and too much heat styling. I don't have a hair goal (length wise), I just want to maintain healthy hair.

Important things I have learned:

My hair loves coconut oil when air drying!
Deep conditions are a must!
Less heat = Healthier ends

<u>Current products I have and use:</u>
KeraCare Humecto (mixed with coconut oil for leave in)
Nexxus Emergencee
Elucence &amp; Cream of Nature Shampoo
Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner
Garnier Fructis Conditioner (works great)
Garlic shampoo and conditioner
Surge 14 Plus
Salerm 21
Redken Heat Glide (used for November Pic)

I have always had thick, unmanagable hair, but this site is leading me in the right direction to tame it, lol.

Thanks for all the great advice ladies, and Happy Growing to all! /images/graemlins/clap.gif

(The first 4 photos are the newest!)

Welcome to the board. I LOVE your hair, especially the pic labled "curling iron".

 

[DeniseH]

Thanks ladies! I achieved the sheen with Redken Heat Glide and Chi ceramic iron. I have not set any goals for myself as of yet.

I know too much heat is damaging, but my hair strands are so thick. Heat seems to be the only thing that keeps my hair tame. I do have a hooded dryer (just got one by Ion), but have not used it for roller sets yet. Any suggestions ladies?
