Anything you feel you are great at: Detangling, Deep Conditioning, Product Recommendations, giving certain products that extra kick, baggying, protectives styles, vitamins, and most importantly.....motivating.

If no one has adopted you yet, I'll adopt you because you have a wonderful personality! PM me and let me know if you want me to be your Big Sister!

Blessings!
 
Okay we need some more Big Sisters willing to guide the challenged....

And we ask that no one pair themselves up to prevent multiple requests for the same big sisters.....

Also if you are a big sister and dont mind mentoring two lil mama's at the same time please state it in your post.....

Aint nothin to it but to do it.....Lets go!

Starting Length: not really sure. :scratchch not enough to make a ponytail though
Hair Goal:healthy.long.strong. would like hair to atleast grow back to my original MBL

For the Newbies:
Hair Type:4b

Hair Goal: all the way and as far as I can go

Current Challenges: Crown and Glory started December and ending in July
Take your vitamins - I am not always good at this.

Current Problems: I am starting from scratch - all previously relaxed hair has been cut off. Before C&G I was breaking like crazy and had no idea how to use protein without making things worse.

Anything you don't like to do: i.e. I don't like protective styling:
I don't like greasy stuff at all. I have never learned to wear a scarf while sleeping, but I do have satin pillow cases.

I am so ready to grow this hair - and if you want to make me exercise more that would be good too. I am ready and willing to put myself in the hands of my big sis and get this done. I'm in it for the long haul.

I would really like to create a fotki, even though I hate taking pictures. I have budgeted a digital camera as soon as I complete my current workshop in two weeks.

I have supplies for relaxing again and can make the list and purchase anything else you think I might need.

Please adopt me - I am ready.
