Is there anyway to pull up the archives or old files? I tried searching on the internet but came up short. Also, what does BHCAB stand for?

Here is the old archives (u will not have access to it unless you're a member): Black Hair Super Grow Out

Here is a newer one: Black Hair Super Grow Out - Grow Longer Hair, w/o People Hatin

Okay, I clicked on the link and it's the same one that comes up in my search but it says you must be a member...and I don't know how since the group is no longer "alive"...

Here's another one: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/bhsgototalhealth/message/39

Looks like some porno/sickos have posted on there recently. But the last actual club post was dated back to 2001 I think.

OH! And maybe BHCAB means "Black Hair Care And Beauty"...former members of the club, is that right???

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

It actually stands for Black Hair Care and Body - discussions on hair care, as well as fitness, weight, etc. Adrienne is one of the founders.

I had a similar experience as Lanelle, I had long hair before joining the hairboards but when I moved, it started falling out due to the hard water (which I didn't discover till waaaay after the fact) So after so much of my hair falling out, I started looking for ideas to regrow my hair and I stumbled across this wonderful, magical hair board!

How did you deal with the hard water NurseN98?

My catalyst was pure and simple common sense. My hair wouldn't grow past a certain length, yet, I seemed to be getting about 3/4 in. of new growth every 4 weeks. It was maddening. And then, the more I retouched and kept my hair silky and flowing (by virtue of the blow dryer and curling iron), the more folks began to ask me...."Did you cut your hair?" I knew something had to be done and I started surfing the web for vitamins, techniques, poos and conditioners, anything I could find. LOVE LHCF the best of all though!

The catalyst for me was Wanakee's advertisement in either Essence or Ebony magazine.
It showed the picture of her with waist length hair and had the words - No Extension, No Weave, No Kidding - on it.

Me too! I loved the way her hair looked, and wanted mine to get past below my shoulders.

I got started with Wanakee back in 1998. Moved on to BHC.com where I learned of BHSGO, where I was a regular. Next stop was BHCAB, and now I'm HERE :-D

Bookmarked the thread for safe keeping!

Just Bumping...was searching for something else and came across this post...

Interesting!

I started my hair journey with growafrohairlong.com....I think it's the crown and glory method.

Though I never held on too strongly to the braided or twisted style, I did keep them in once for 6 months (refreshing frequently and shea buttering a lot too) and my hair thrived! I just get tired of one style every single day.
