Hey Everyone,
I've been a lurker on LHCF since last summer and today I finally decided to make my first post.
My hair was pressed until my junior year in high school ('03) when I decided to get a perm. That turned out to be a VERY bad idea because a year later I had to cut my hair to chin length (it was shoulder length the day I put the perm in). Since then it's been a struggle to get my hair healthy again. In about a year it grew to somewhere between neck and shoulder length but I haven't been able to get over that hump and it has been continually damaged.
In October '06 I decided to stop putting heat on my hair. As you can see from my albums my first wash and gos looked pretty bad lol. But the last 8 months have been a learning experience with me and my hair.
Now I LOVE my coils, curls and spirals. I don't even want to straighten my hair much anymore. And it has thickened up tremendously. The only thing I haven't been able to achieve during this time is length. I feel like I'm doing everything right, but its not getting any longer. Hopefully that will come with time.
Thank you all for welcoming me into the LHCF family and please take a look at my fotki (i just posted pix). See you all around.
