Hi everybody , Ive been on LHCF for years back when it was free to post but never really posted that much.

My hair 411...

BC 3 times in my lifetime and this one is the last ...Ive learned my lesson the hard way .

I BC back in 02-03 when I decided to find out what my real hair texture was like...It was a harsh journey for teh first year than after it was awesome till I reached a certain lenght and got lazy and got my hair texlaxed.

I was getting my hair texlaxed at this dominican salon in Montreal for few years , I grew my hair MBL to 2 inch over WL when I went on vacation to see my family in Morocco for 2 months.

Got some highlights in Morocco it was HOT ...when I came back to Montreal went up to my hair stylist told her I would need to texlax because of the massive growth . My hair stylist somewhat felt disrespected because I did highlights in Morocco and str8 up told me that it was ugly . Which was kind of fishy but No I didnt listen to my intuition and stayed and got my hair JACKKKKKKKKED UP she permed my hair all over my highlights . In the end I had to pay her 70$ for jacking my hair and for seing my hair down the drain. 2 weeks after I developped some type of alopecia on my left side where I received 10 cortisone shots on my scalp to help my hair come out because my skin was damaged.

To make the story short...Im back to natural I BC in Dec 07 and I cant afford to risk my hair on some chemical box because my hair strand is fine . Plus I dont feel like learning how to apply a perm or to do touch every 3 months. Dont get me wrong im not against it my hair was nice and long texlaxed . I just decided to work with my hair and not be lazy anymore.

Well I hope third time is a charm for you. It sounds like this time you have a lot of wisdom and experience behind your BC so it will probably stick. We look forward to the pictures!

Welcome Back!!

sorry to hear about your hair woes... we all have been there, relaxers were the culprit for my hair's damage. I wish my hair could have stayed healthy when I was getting relaxers but my hair was trying to tell me otherwise for decades that it didn't like the chemical!! Therefore I am listening to my hair now:lachen:.... I just cut off all the damaged relaxed ends too!

Congrats on your bigchop.

and Here is to success on your healthy hair journey!!!
