| | victorious  | 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 8-10 instead of every 4-6 weeks. - no longer relax bone straight - discovered conditioner washes - shampoo/conditioner wash often - learned how to moisturize my hair and seal my ends - look for 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 - properly care for hair under weaves - 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. | | | | General Information | | Profile Type: | Personal | | Gender: | Female | | I'm here for: | Photo sharing | | My Cities | | Hometown: | United States, New York | | Background & Lifestyle | | Marital status: | Single | | Sexual orientation: | Straight | | Smoking: | Non-smoker | | Children: | Proud parent | | Education: | Some college | | Ethnicity: | Black/African descent | | Body type: | Average | | Height: | Average | | Religion: | Christian - other | | Interests & Personality | | Interests: | http://www.longhaircareforum.com | | Friends: | VWVixxen, knwill on NP/ms_k on DHC, Growwhydontyou, bettydavis, Nelle *Finally updates! prettyprops.etsy.com*, NuMe2004, mysweetevie, NaturallyBeautiful, natalied, nicki6, Shanti, OneInAMillion, gradygirl, msshic, lonei, Loveya4ever *****JULY UPDATE*****, HighlyFavored1, MissQue, Sweetness(gee)..no Password!!, Ladychocolate, Lisa, Bellabeautiful, Cholet112**Updated 10.23.07**, Candiel, Nisha2003, Nelly711, Lavendar2, Wheezy807, MissMadaam, Energist | | Friend of: | VWVixxen, knwill on NP/ms_k on DHC, Growwhydontyou, bettydavis, Nelle *Finally updates! prettyprops.etsy.com*, mysweetevie, NaturallyBeautiful, natalied, mia, Shanti, OneInAMillion, imani97, TheSavOne, bluefolli, Godsflowerrr, Sassy Shani, *~SHAN~*, lonei, ~vilese G1~, St-Lucia (aka) Firefly on LHCF & BHM, OneBaddOne, Jk0223, Kbnax, TAI~cuts~weave specialist~, Sweetness(gee)..no Password!!, Kristikrisi, Lisa, Treasure2k6, Bellabeautiful, nuni, Deniseloc, e$h, Myayla48, ChatterBoxx-55( New Album), Cholet112**Updated 10.23.07**, Artemis513 **Updated 8/3**, Ayesha-Ju, DayJaVoo, EmbracinMyself, BreZn~April '08 Updates..
