I am a newbie (this is my first post). I've never committed to a hair care regimen for long, I've had the Dominican doobie a few times when I visit my sister in New York, I've worn weaves and braids, press and curl, straw sets, etc., I have even relaxed my naturally curly, yet dry hair-only to end up here: it's been 11 1/2 months since my last at home relaxer-a stylist cut off a few inches for me through the year, and just last week my niece (a cosmetology student) clipped my ends and my hair is completely even and about 1 1/2 inches below my shoulder. i found this site and I'm inspired to grow my hair back to where it was when I was young (along with my husband's coercing). It seems my hair hasn't been growing as much lately (too much manipulation?), I don't know. Anyhow, i may have 3 inches left of relaxed hair, and I have a Solia flat iron-Biosilk products, an Ion hair dryer, you name it (I could open a salon). I'm looking through all of your Fotki's (who knew there were fotki folders about hair care, let alone a "fotki"), and I want bra strap length or longer by this time next year, any tips? protective style suggesstions?... I don't know the lingo, yes I am still trying to figure out what APL means Thanks ladies.
