I've always had short hair, and it never passed shoulder length before. After permanent coloring, breakage, dryness, and daily heat styling, my hair was a mess. It looked nice after leaving the salon, but it was a mess again a few days later.

I've asked beauticians what to do and read many hair magazines; but I never received good advice to help my hair. I wore weaves for a while, but I suffered breakage because I didn't know how to care for my hair under the weave.

But since I joined LHCF, I:

- relax every 12 weeks+ instead of every 4-6 weeks.
- no longer relax bone straight
- discovered conditioner washes
- conditioner wash often
- learned how to moisturize my hair and seal my ends
- use seamless combs or file the seams smooth
- start combing from ends and then move upwards
- brush less and use a satin scarf to flatten hair
- baby my hairline
- wear more protective styles
- love henna
- sleep with satin scarf, bonnet, or pillow case nightly
- consult the forum when making big hair decisions
- learned that proper nutrition is crucial for hair growth

I don't go to salons anymore. I might go to a stylist in the future for a shampoo and pretty style (a stylist recommended by the forum, of course). But for now, I'll be taking care of my hair thanks to LHCF.
