SOMEONE ADOPT ME

Hi All,
I have been lurking for awhile since finding this forum in late 2007. Oh how I wished I would have found it back when my hair fell out from the scalp. I wore wigs cause I had no choice, but didn't have a clue of how to nurse my hair back to health. I just let it grow at is on pace. And in between that it had several relapses. One day I went to Sallys beauty supply, purchased Optimum Multi-Mineral Relaxer, googled customer reviews and was lead to Renieces' fotki. Since then I have explored several fotkis, and one led me here to this board. I visit here daily, like taking daily vitamins. I am a person who is motivated through others peoples testimonies. Its inspiring, and with that I adapt it and then try to share w/ my family and friends. I want to learn about it first, try it and witness it works before moving it to other lives. Well I have read this board over and over and not until to day did I sign on to become a member. Which leads me to asking someone to adopt me.

I am still new at cultivating a regimen to take care of my hair, and not only that LOVE my hair. I had no understanding of that, til I read this board. I mean I have been ashamed of my hair for so long, because of ridicule when I was younger, and then not to mention all the long hair "girls" that I would see but dare not ask what they did to grow or keep there hair long. My mother ruined my hair w/ chemicals when I was child, and when I say everyone from brother, immediate family, to friends and enemies talked about me. It cause me to develop a complex about my '********' although I wasn't bald, but just had very short hair.

I am married w/ four children, and also since reading this board I have the knowlegde to take care of their hair. It is slowly but surely paying off. Which I have always been careful w/ their hair cause I did not want them to go through what I went through. But don't get me wrong we have had some trial and errors, but through patience and consistency we will get there. My oldest is 16, and I have a 14, 11 year old girl and I refuse to allow them to do their own hair, I won't even let them wash it. Until they learn how to..and the importance of taking care of their hair. My son who is 12 has recently starting growing his hair out, and I won't allow him to do his own hair. Its almost like I am obsessed...ok I admit I am....not looking to recover from this tho:drunk:

Sorry to make this so long but I wanted to introduce myself and give a brief history. So if anyone doesn't mind taking on another protege, please feel free. Oh and I am not as technical as most of the posters, but I will learn overtime I'm sure.

Thank you,
Tigget
 
Welcome! Please tell us a bit more about the condition of your hair.

I'm assuming you are relaxed?
Health?
Issues?

Hi thanks for replying..

I would say I am 4a/b...yes I am relaxed, with dry, east to break thin hair. Like I said I am just now getting to know my hair, whereas before I would just mask it or cover it up w/ wigs, braids, ponytails. I think my hair is capable of getting stronger with training, but again this is a new realm for me so I know patience is the key.

I am healthy, with the exception of anemic, but overall pretty good health. I workout, not on a consistance basis, but do good to get a run in two/three times a week.

One issue I have had and have now is my top middle part of my head. It every now and then gets really tender and breaks or thins out a lot. Im not sure, it could be stress or chemicals. Although since I stopped wearing phony ponies at the top of my head it calmed down but it still is thin. Its like that is the first part of my hair that breaks so easily.
