Introduce Yourself Here

[tsescoff]

Hi all -
Like u, I'm new here & finally decided to subscribe (sure glad I did). Looking to grow out my hair to shoulder length. I've been wearing it natural since 2000 & about a year ago had cut off my brastrap length locs to make room for something new....

My hair grows at a fairly decent rate though I will admit I need to be more accountable for keeping it healthy (ie, deep treating/conditioning, sleeping w/ a silk headwrap...etc) I had to cut it again (several months after I cut my locs) due to a bad hair experience but I'm back on track....

I know I'll learn a lot (I already have) & look forward to imparting anything I happen to learn along the way.....

Happy & Healthy Hair to you all!

Smooches!

I have been "eye hustlin" the site for a while and decided to join.

I grew locs for about 5 years and decided to cut them off. For the last 2 years since the cut, my hair has been a mess due to perms, weaves and colors. I'm looking to have an all natural process of growing out my hair and I'm excited to share ideas with you ladies.

My hobbies are baking, decorating, and learning new information on the internet.

Look forward to interacting with all of you.

Hello everyone,

I am here lookin for the latest info on newest styles and hare care. my hair is a little past my neck. My goal right now is not length, it is to grow out this relaxer. Last relaxer was in October. Since then about 5 inches of new growth. I am a strong advocate of hair weaves.Use those instead of the plain cornow braid method, for growing out my hair.

Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,

I'm not so new but I haven't been to the forum in a while. I've always hated introductions but here goes. I'm from Atlanta and I love rock music and reading. I joined the forum to learn how to take better care of my hair. I've become the type of person who will do absolutely nothing to my hair except pulling it back into a ponytail.

It grows okay on its own but I want to take a more active role. I used to bleach my hair, in order to dye it blue. I never had a problem until an incident with perming too soon. Now my hair breaks off easily and my edges are thin. i'm hoping to get some knowledge here to improve that.

Also, I just wanted to ask. How do you find your hair type? And what do the numbers/letters mean?

Thanks! (pretty long for someone who hates intros)

Hey, I joined in Feb. but I didn't know about this thread. (You learn something new everyday). My name is Angela (even though I go by Angiet). I live in the Los Angeles area. I came here with really dry breaking hair, but in about four months I saw a real differnce in my hair and it started with cutting out the heat. Once I accepted my hair in all it's kinky/curly glory, I saw a turnaround in my hair. (By the way, I guess I've always stretched b/c I wore braids for something like 15 years). My folloy was not moisturizing my hair and not taking out my braids to condition and care for my own hair, so my hair started about shoulder length and my goal is to get to mbl by Dec. 2010.
Wish me luck!
Can someone direct me how to add stuff to my siggy?

Hi everyone,
I never knew about this thread either. I am a newbie that join in June. Between lhcf and youtube I have completely turn my hair lifestyle around. I always had the problem hair in my family with dry brittle hair that seemed to break if you looked at it to hard. BUT now that I learn what impact true "moisture" has on hair and things are changing fast for me.

 

[GreenD]

Hi all, I'm new here too, or should say a paying member. I've lurked for almost a year and just decided to pay up last week. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier.

 

[Wynndie]

Hi all! I've lurked here off and on for apparently almost two years. I didnt pay for my membership until Apri 09l! So I just want to say Hi and sorry for not saying it sooner.

 

[Prudent1]

Hi all!! I didn't know about this thread either. I've posted in several others already. I too was a lurker for about 4 months. I have turned my dry breaking hair around significantly since coming here. Prior to coming here I cut my hair to ear length but it was a really cute cut b/c I thought starting over would fix my problems. Anyway, moisture is my friend...I know that now. I am now SL. My first goal is APL by Dec 2009. I'll posts some pics in my siggie soon. My digital camera is on the fritz. HHG!!
