I used to have long hair, then I lost it. I grew my hair back to my shoulders with continuous braiding, but when I stopped doing that, it began breaking off again.
So I googled "dry, crunchy ends, Help!" and LHCF popped up.
That was in December 2008. I started doing like...LHCF lite, which consisted of occasional baggying, moisturizing and sealing, consciously stretching my relaxers and DCing with every wash. My hair got healthier, but didn't really retain well, because I was wearing it out every day, not dusting my ends, and I was still hitting up the salon whenever I didn't feel like dealing with my hair.
Then one day in August, my sister saw me baggying and started lecturing me about how I'm actually ruining my hair. She told me, "That's why I have hair and you don't." (At the time it was true...now, it's not.
)
Anyway, I turned around and looked at her like:
until she left.
As soon as she left the room, I came on here and finally shelled out the money for a subscription.
And it's been on like Donkey Kong ever since.
