Never really had long hair but I remember in college my hair grew and I didn't know how/why then I used a blow dryer and it broke of. Since I've found LHFC my hair have grown to collar bone. I had a major setback in October of 2009 so I'm starting at the beginning again. I've been wearing box braids since December of 2009 and will continue to do so until Dec. 2011 or later. One thing I've noticed is that by refraining from relaxing my edges are beginning to come alive. It's a very slow process but it seems like it's coming in. So while I might regret having that setback, it seems to be a blessing in disguise because my edges are thanking me for it.
