welcome back you have been and will always be a inspiration to myself and others.

 

[OnceUponAtime]

well, i probably won't get to drop in as often as i used to, but it's so nice to see how many people actually remember me. i thought it would be crickets up in this thread. to read that i was someone's inspiration is still the ultimate compliment for me. when i first joined BHSGO in 2000. i was just hoping my hair would get past my shoulder.

regarding the shedding, i guess i will have to break down and buy the garlic shampoo. the only reason i've hesitated in the past is that i hate switching products, which can aggravate my psoriasis. hopefully that will work. and i will also try the BT because i want to see if i can get past my longest length.

speaking of length, i have always thought of waist length for me as touching my butt. i guess because i'm short waisted, i felt like i needed to go a little farther to compare to everyone else's waist. now i would be happy to be where it was in my avatar pic. *sigh* erplexed

are there any new conditioners on the market that give ALOT of slip? this is what i need after i wash. my hair doesn't really tangle. but it comes out quite a bit when i'm combing the conditioner through.

onceuponatime, what does the Neosporin AF do? how often do you apply? you put it on your scalp?

cayenne, thanks for mentioning the Alter Ego Cren. it's a little pricey. does anyone know if it smells bad? i hate stuff that smells bad...

ANYWHOOOO, i will update my album after i get a trim. yes, i have resorted to holding onto hair that i know needs to go. lol! it's a little embarassing...

p.s. i am so pleased and proud to see everyone reaching their goals and inspiring the newbies!!

The Neosporin AF is an anti-fungal. I usually use a garlic shampoo, but that wasn't working the last time 'cause I was shedding badly. I used the Neosporin. It's a very small tube and creamy. I applied it with a cotton swab, parted my hair like I was greasin' it I did it for three nights. Worked like a charm.

Why is it so hard to find Neosporin AF? I've looked in every grocery store, Target, CVS, Rite-Aid, Duane Reade and so on. I still cannot find this stuff...

Hiya Adrienne!

Glad u've checked in & all is ok with u

I pop in only occassionally... there's sooooo many new members now

take care!

 

[Blackbird77]

I still have much love for my girl. I was just thinking of you yesterday.
Really glad to see you !!!

Yokourt,

Your hair looks just like mine! I could stand to have a little more thickness, though. How do you get those lovely curls (1st pic in siggy)? My curls always flop because my hair likes to make its own curls and fights back if I try to curl it after straightening it. I don't have a relaxer.

And not that this is related, but I'm of Panamanian decent too!

hi ladies!

i haven't posted on this part of the board in a while. i feel so lost. what is BT? what is CSI?

to give an update, my hair is having issues but not really. i never did reach waist length. i've either reached my length limit (if we have one), or i've been in the telogen growth phase—for about two years. my hair's probably 1½" shorter than the pic on my avatar. i've been going in the wrong direction for a while. it sheds alot when i wash. so i don't wash as much as i like to (every couple weeks).

i still do the baggie trick 90% of the time. i get a texturizer every 12-14 weeks with Affirm sensitive scalp. i still use most of the same products that i've used for years.

anyway, other than the BT and CSI, i don't really have any questions. hope all is well with those that remember me, and happy growing to those that i don't know yet!!

p.s. a special shout out to my girl, allandra!

I remember i used to covet your hair when i first came on the board and lurked...good to see you!

Hi Adrienne & Welcome Back !

Hi Adrienne,

Just wanted to give you a shout and say thanks for the inspiration! I was also a member of the old Yahoo board after losing my hair to a bout with alopecia. Your regime (s curl, baggy and drawstring pony) has helped me get to APL.

Try the BT (odorless MTG) or the MN. Ever since I started using MTG, I no longer have to use the Nizoral and my other scalp prescriptions.

Thanks again and God bless!

BT is Boundless Tresses...I have no idea what CSI is...Miami, NYC, and Las Vegas are the only CSIs I know of.

Same here

ETA: Okay, I'm late but now I know it's Chi Silk Infusion~
