NEWBIE WANTS TO SAY HI

[GIRLIE]

HI ALL, I'M NEW TO THE LHCF AND JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. I HAVE BEEN BROWSING FOR ABOUT 18MONTHS (YES THAT LONG), AND I'VE PICKED UP SOOOO MANY TIPS AND METHODS FROM ALL YOU GUYS SO THANKS VERY MUCH. WELL LET ME TELL YOU ALL A BIT ABOUT MY HAIR HISTORY SO YOU ALL KNOW WHERE I'M COMMING FROM ON MY JOURNEY. I ALWAYS HAD QUITE LONG HAIR, ABOUT ARMPIT LENGTH UNTIL I GOT SICK ABOUT 4YRS AGO. AS A RESULT OF MY ILLNESS I HAD TO TAKE A LOT OF MEDICATION INCLUDING HORMONE TREATMENT. I WAS ON THIS HORMONE TREATMENT FOR 2YRS, NEEDLESS TO SAY IT PLAYED HAVOC WITH MY HAIR. IT BECAME VERY DRY AND BRITTLE AND STARTED TO BRAKE OFF. ONE DAY I WAS WASHING MY HAIR AND IT ALL STARTED TO MATT WHERE THE HAIR WAS BREAKING OFF AND TANGLING WITH THE HAIR STILL ON MY HEAD. I HAD FOUR LARGE LUMPS OF MATTED HAIR ON MY HEAD AND LOTS OF BROKEN OFF HAIR IN THE BATH. I COULDN'T STOP CRYING. NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE SALON AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY HAD TO CUT THE MATTED HAIR OFF. PARTS OF MY HAIR WAS 1" LONG AND THE REST NOT MUCH LONGER. ALL MY HAIR WAS IN SUCH BAD CONDITION THE STYLIST WANTED TO CUT IT ALL OFF. THE ONLY REASON SHE DIDN'T WAS BECAUSE I WAS SO UPSET. I FINISHED MY TREATMENT ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER THAT AND SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GROW MY HAIR BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 2YRS NOW AND I'M NOW AT SHOLDER LENGTH. I ONLY FOUND THIS SITE BY CHANCE WHILST LOOKING UP WGHO. I BELIEVE GOD MADE ME FIND IT. I FEEL LIKE I KNOW ALL OF YOU ALREADY.

Welcome to the board.

 

[GIRLIE]

Thank you, Thank you, thank you everyone I feel so at home already. I've already picked up some great tips. I wear protective styles all the time now and that's really working for me. Also jumped on the MTG & MN bandwagon so we'll see what happens.
