How did you stumble across LHCF?

[aquajoyice]

I came across this site purely by accident after looking for ways to take care of my hair. I found a site that talked about hair typing and ran across Cathy Howse that ended up leading me here. I'll never forget the first time I laid my eyes across so many beautiful AA women with gorgeous hair and thought it was a scam. So I lurked and lurked for years until I finally found the guts to come out of hiding. And i've been addicted ever since

.Google-->BHM-->LHCF
.gotta love both sites

 

[varaneka]

last December, I got highlights by one of the most incompetent stylists I'd ever been to, so I HAD to fix my hair for the holidays myself. Thanks to Google, LHCF supplied many answers I needed.

In Dec 08 I did a google search on how to help grow strong black hair, and I came across this forum. I was devouring the info all night! I found a great regimen and it worked...I've been lurking ever since. I've even decided to go natural. I haven't had a relaxer since Dec 28th of 08. I decided to pay my subscription this week so that I could ask questions...LOL!

Welcome Peachfuzz!

A scam...?!?! Now that's funny!

Ahhhh what a compliment...!!!

Nappturality.com forum. I noticed LHCF kept being mentioned in a negative way, so I decided to see for myself what the big deal was. As it so happened, I preferred the health section of this forum as it was more active. I think I subscribed so I could post in that section. After a short while, I was much more frequent on here than NP.

Option 4:
I've always wanted long healthy hair like the rest of my family...I was on another board looking for ways to improve the health of my then relaxed hair and found LHCF--I joined right away and really got serious the beggining of this year. I LOVE THIS SITE & The support that flows from it! Thank you all

Option 1; I was researching on google for information about taking care of black hair and this lead me to www.growafrohairlong.com, then BHM which subsequently lead me to LHCF. After a year of infrequently lurking both forums' I decided to join LHCF and take the whole hair thing a little more seriously. Although I have a much lighter purse from when I started my healthy hair care journey, I have found my staples, overjoyed with the wealth of knowledge I have gained and the support network available here. Thank's everyone!

Nappturality.com forum. I noticed LHCF kept being mentioned in a negative way, so I decided to so for myself what the big deal was.

Ditto!

The first time that happened I came to this site and loved what I saw, despite what was being said, so I signed up and lurked. I even liked LHCF better than Nappturality - no offense to that forum - it's great...

Then I went to a Dominican Salon where my nautral hair underwent severe heat damage and began to break off in chunks within days. (I'd never had that happen before)

I searched Nappturality for recovery tips, and the only info I got from the archives was: cut off all hair and start anew, a stern admonishment never to straighten again, and a healthy dose of "that's what you get!".

But cutting my hair (and never straightening it again) were not options.

So I Goolged something about "Natural hair, heat damage, repair" and a blog came up with a link to LHCF and information about Aphogee. I came to LHCF got some great tips, went out that night and bought some Aphogee 2 in1 and then I got out the credit card and purchased membership.

My hair has never been happier!

You ladies on this site are an amazing resource, and I really love coming to the site for all sorts of information.

 

[sleepflower]

Doing a bunch of searches. LHCF kept coming up, and I would read, and then move on. I did not notice I was coming to the same place a lot until, as someone else said, I saw people speaking negatively about it. I wanted to see what it was about, and then once I saw the number of members and the sheer amount of information, I joined. The other places did not seem as big or knowledgeable.

So here we are.

 

[MizAvalon]

I did a search for "black women with long hair" or something like that and this site was among the results. I lurked for almost a year and then joined so that I could respond to a thread. Including lurking time I have been here for almost 6 years!

 

[fattyfatfat]

I did a yahoo search for black hair care and this site came up in the search results. I lurked for a LONG time and took a pic of my hair to really see how it looked. After seeing how damaged my hair was (see first signature pic) I paid my $5 soooo quickly!

 

[MonPetite]

I did a Google search for: "Long Hair" +Black +Women".

...And here I am.

 

[Optimistic]

Other... I did a search on yahoo for natual black hair care and was directed to this forum and NP. I initially joined NP because it seemed to suit me at the time. Then I wanted some variety, I like looking at all types of ways to take care of hair plus I have family members who are not natural and seemed to need some hair care tips too.

So I found this site and lurked for a long while and then subscribed. I find this forum very interesting.

Edited to Add: I also read a lot about this site on NP. Like another poster said, there were a lot of negative comments about this site on there. It made me check this forum out a lot more.

I first learned of LHCF in Dec. 2004. It was I think pic of Den1 or maybe someone else who had pictures and made reference to the site on Crown and Glory website http://www.growafrohairlong.com/. I have been on every since. I declare it seems longer than that.

 

[czyfaith77]

BTW....That wasn't not an endorsement of the site. Just a reference as to where I first learned of LHCF.

EXACTLY! It's motivating and informative.

 

[peachfuzzz]

Thank you so much. BTW, your hair is beautiful!

Searched "black women with long hair" and found the site. I was so happy. I have never had my hair grow past my shoulders. I am now well on my way to APL!

 

[mariofmagdal]

Searching for ways to care for an unwanted perm in my daughters hair. This site has proven 2B the best ever! Her hair is long and gorgeous a lil over a year later!

tocktick, why was LHCF not well received over at Nappturality? I can't imagine a reason as everyone is welcome on this board from what I see and I don't see LHCF members even bashing other forums. Of course I am a newbie so maybe I am missing important details.

 

[Wynndie]

I stumbled upon it accidently when I was searching for black hair care tips. I'm so glad I found this place.

 

[lilsparkle825]

I was a fan of afrobella.com, and one day she did an entry on hair care that linked to Macherieamour's article on cowashing. I decided to click on her blog and saw all that hair on her head...then from reading I learned that she wasn't just half Indian or something (don't worry, I don't think like that anymore). I said "hey, if she got her hair that long, maybe I can too" and clicked through every link on that site, eventually getting to the LHCF link. I lurked for about a month before I couldn't take it anymore and joined.

I learned about it from another hair board - BHM.com. I came over, lurked for about a month, saw how active and informative everyone on the board were and the rest is history.

 

[~NanCeBoTwin~]

Around September of last year I did a goggle search, it was related to AA hair but I don't remember what I was searching. Then in Nov I was looking for some more info on hair and remembered this site so I did a google search again to find the site, I couldn't remember the full name I knew it had something to do with long hair. I've been hooked since, lol....

 

[january noir]

I was surfing the internet one night and inserting random terms based on my desires (I was going through a self-improvement period). I typed in black hair care and this forum was one of the results.

 

[SherylsTresses]

Anyone else?

 

[LiberianGirl]

I did a search on stretching relaxers.
