Mine isn't a product. Its my halfwig. Yes, fake hair.

I wasn't a wig or weave girl before August 2008. But after seeing some pics of the ladies on the board and on Fotki, I decided to invest in halfwigs to get through my short hair phase. Its hard growing out the back of a short cut without looking at HAM. I don't know if would have been able to do it without the wigs.

[Smiley79]

Besides you all....

My number one find on LHCF is that there is no one miracle product; the combination of products and methods that suit my hair best have given me optimal results and is the BEST thing I've learned here. As far as products, I'd have to give it to Aubrey Organics Conditioners, Elasta QP Shampoo, Honey for pre-pooing, Keracare for DCing and MegaTek just because it has thickened my hair!

 

[1god1]

Cowashing....search and destroy for trimming my ends

 

[Tee]

You all are such cheaters!! lol

For me it would be oils. I love Extra Virgin Coconut Oil!!

 

[PecanCandy]

AMEN!

 

[Solitude]

Rollersetting. If I had to pick a product, Chi Silk Infusion

 

[sqzbly1908]

More than one...

- Focusing more on retention versus growth...
- Just knowing that there are chicks/dudes who are just are obsessed with hair as I am
- Becoming a DIY'er with regard to my relaxers ...
