My hair... Gosh; you guys can't even imagine the stresses I've put it through for the past 20+ years!!! I've been coloring it since high school; I've had it highlighted many times, I've used a blow-dryer weekly (up until 2 years ago); it's been dyed and fried many, many times, until it's a wonder I have any hair left on my head at all!! Anyway, a couple of years ago I decided to buy a hooded dryer, and ever since then, my hair has improved by leaps and bounds! Of course, I still can't leave that color alone, but besides that, I am GOOD to my hair!!
I had to get my hair cut short about 6 years ago, due to terrible damage due to the combination of having a relaxer, highlights and blowdrying. So, yes, it's been 6 years but of course, it hasn't REALLY taken that long to get my hair to the length it is now. If I had been taking proper care of my hair, it could have been this length years ago, I believe. I'm really amazed at the amount of growth I've gotten in the 2 years that I've been doing roller sets. When I was blow-drying, I always had so much breakage that the hair never got a chance to grow out.
In regards to my hair type. I am almost posivie that I'm a 4A. Sorry guys, but I just don't see my hair as being a type 3. Maybe the pictures are a bit deceiving, because let me tell you, when I need a touch-up, I NEED a touch-up!! It's not like relaxing is an option for me, like I imagine it probably is for Type 3 heads!!!
Thanks again for the compliments!! I'm so encouraged now!!!
