Tricking the president
I\'m a newbie!!
Hi everyone,
I have been lurking around this board for a couple of weeks now and finally decided to register. I am seriously addicted to this board; you guys always have great tips. A little about me and my hair woes: I got my first relaxer when I was around 8 because my mom couldn't deal with my hair; it was super thick. Needless to say, when my dad came home he was not having it, so they just let it grow out. By the time I got to the end of my junior year in high school, my hair was in excellent condition: moisturized, healthy, and thick as beyonce's thighs. I decided to relax my hair again until my senior year of high school, and i still don't regret that decision. I got my hair done every two weeks at the hairdresser. During that time my hair was soooooo nice, healthy, and silky. I also noticed that my hair actually grows really fast (something that i didn't notice when my hair was natural). I cut my hair a lil longer than chin-length right after thanksgiving and by the middle of february, it was 2 inches past shoulder-length. Anyways, I started my freshman year of college with almost bra-strap lenght hair. But seeing as how I go to school in upstate new york, i now had to take care of my relaxed hair for myself for the first time. I do not EVEN have to tell y'all how this went. if i thought my hair was damged before, it was nothing. My hair got even worse my sophomore year because i started dying it. In the last 15 months alone I have to have used permanent dye on my hair 6 or 7 times, and thrown in a couple of semi-permanent rinses as well. My hair is super damaged and dry. It sheds like crazy. I had braids in a few months ago that I think contributed to this as well. I can't rollerset for my life and I 'm soooo annoyed. My hair is now shoulder length. I'm not worried about the length because my hair actually grows really fast. But i just want it to be healthy and thick like it used to. Hopefully, I can learn from you all and achieve my goal. BTW my hair is mostly 4a with some 3c, but its sooo damaged now that it just feels wiry as hell.That's all folks. sorry its sooo long.
