Coming out of lurk mode.......finally

Hello Everyone,
I am so glad that I found this board. The information that I have found and used here has helped me tremendously. My hair is very fine and when I moved from California to Michigan to begin grad school my hair started breaking badly even though I was wearing braids. What I did not realize is that I still needed to take care of my hair while in braids. To make a long story short, I discovered this board in January of this year and have not turned back. I posted some pics for you all to see. I just wish I had some pics of what my hair looked like in December so you all could see the difference. My family jokes about me being the hair freak. They get a kick out of me belonging to a forum like this

Oh one more thing, I have been natural for a long time and I love the braid out look but mine came out too poofy when I did it. If anyone has any tips on what I can do to make my hair less poofy I would gladly appreciate it.

Welcome aboard, I too was in "lurk" mode for a couple of weeks and then decided my hair was more important than anonymity.

Hey Ladies,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been checking out a few of your albums and it seems like everyone is making such good progress.

Hi Teenie,
I have not tried the Paul Mitchell foaming pomade. I will have to get that product. I will get this braid out right if it's the last thing I do. Do you usually cornrow your hair before a braidout or braid it individually?

Off topic, Teenie you have BEAUTIFUL thick hair.

How long did it take for you to grow it out? Are you a 4a/4b?
