I section when I wash at the kitchen sink because otherwise, my hair doesn't get rinsed out very well. It's hard to get up in there with the sprayer when I'm all bent over.:lachen:

I don't really get tangles.


First your hair is gorgeous and a inspiration for me not to relax ..... yet :grin:
Also it's good to see I'm not the only one haivng this problem. :look: I get so frustrated because I can't get down to the scalp :lachen:Think I've rinsed all con out and run my hand through a bunch of suds. Girl what's up with that - I have to wash in sections too.:drunk:

I did the BC one year ago. I had transitioned for 13 months, then got tired and just chopped it all off.

I just want to thank all of you LHCF ladies for your love and support over this past year! I have been inspired by so many of you, both natural and relaxed.

My goals for this next year are optimal length and health. I'd like to make BSL by the end of 2009. I'm going to need to nail down a regimen and stick to it. My hair has taught me a lot about what it likes and dislikes, and I know that if I want to retain length, I'm going to need to listen to it and obey.:lachen: With new lengths come new challenges, but I know I'll also be getting new styling options, so I'm ready!:grin:
