I wanted to first take the time out to say THANK YOU.
My hair Journey:
I wanted a nice bright color for Spring 2006. You know, something where I could stand out in a crowd. My girlfriend who is a licensed beautician, colored my hair a nice Fiery Auburn. I didn't like
. So I asked her to tone it down some. We tried for a Dusty Brown, Ummm Naah . So I asked for something just a little bit lighter. So she "stripped the color", bleached my hair and then poured a light ash brown dye over it 
(Note: this was my 3rd dye in 2 weeks.) Well, for the last color she also sat me under the dryer with a plastic cap 
erplexed. Needless to say, I pretty much had no hair after that. My entire crown area was GONE!!! From the front all the way to the back, my hair looked like a bird's nest. After going to endless stylists to ask them what to do to get my hair back, I decided that I needed to Chop it all off and start all over. So in December 2006 I chopped it all off. I was fine until the Spring of 2007. I missed my hair so much. I was depressed and didn't want to go out. Then I started getting weaves, glued tracks. I felt like I was on top of the world. Nice long black hair. YES!!! Well things got bad, fast. One stylist said I didn't need glue remover and decided to shampoo the tracks out of my hair. YIKES!!!! Can we all just say BALD SPOTS. The weave wearing went on from the Spring of 2007 until December 2007. I had damage, damage, damage. Unfortunately, I had never taken care of my hair so I relied soley on stylists. I eventually found LHCF by googling, "How To Grow Long Hair" 
. I then learned how to care for my hair, myself. I am going to continue to learn all I can about my hair. I love me and my hair and I will never ever mistreat it again. Sorry so long, I just wanted to share the start of my hair journey with you all. Thanks again.......
