For the big sis

I'm natural
Shoulder length unstretched brastrap stretched yep shrinkage is a b!tch

I would prefer someone natural, since I've lived and learned along the way

Someone who loves co washing

Someone who loves protective styles
Someone who loves deep conditioning

Massaging scalp nightly

Detangling once a week
And someone who follow my regime because I have proof it works lol

You would also need to purchase my suggested products you can't use any ole thing lol, I'm strict, so who wants a big sis with similar hair to me I'm available hit me up,:)

(I also need to update my fotki my hair is a few inches longer.. I'm bad at uploading the photos are sitting in the camera lazy me.)

Are you signing up as a newbie or a big sister?
 
Sorry for the late post, I'm on Italian time ya'll :lol:

For the Big Sistas:
Hair Type: 4A/4B

Relaxed / Natural: Relaxed

Anything you feel you are great at:
I can turn a newbie into a hair diva :lol: . I am good with recognizing hair problems and recommending healthly hair solutions. I am from a family of hair care specialist (not stylist) and salon owners from my grandmother to my auntie. I am very passionate about maintaining healthy growing hair. I am also good at keeping hair care regimins simple and in perspective (I will not suggest that you drink goats milk from Fiji to get long healthy hair!)

Ground rules you feel strongly about: i.e. No heat for 6 months!
I reallly believe in using quality products and appliances. I am against using gels or other like products on hair. I am moderate with heat, meaning ever so often (not weekly) but not as a daily method of hair styling. I HATE CURLING IRONS! and CHEAP FLAT IRONS! I'm not into the baggy methods or any rigerous challenges. My model is KEEP IN SWEET AND SIMPLE! I also believe in internal hair care comes first meaning (should you not have any medical conditions) you will be placed on a vitamin & supplement regi (just let me know your budget and we can work the rest out).

okay that's all.....:angel:

Ladies, I know I'm taking a long time to post the list but only because I need more big sisters.
I don't want any of the newbies that signed up to not get a big sister.
I will try to post the list of match-ups today.

Thank you for being patient. :)

Are you counting the ladies that volunteered to be big sisters in the first thread but didn't make it over to this one to post their stats? Maybe you could pm them.
