Hi all,
I have been lurking for a while now and have finally decided to post.
I have shoulder hair length and my hair has been this length for quite a while now. It's never really grown mor than a few inches past shoulder length. My hair grows, the ends get raggedy, I cut them off, the cycle begins again. I got quite addicting to cutting and cut it to jaw length about 3 years ago. I'm back at shoulder length after another cut last week.
I just have to say how much all of you have inspired me, I thought it was a dream for a black girl to grow her hair past shoulder length!
The condition of my hair is generally quite good but recently my hair has been DRY DRY DRY
. I get braids once or twice a year but I made the mistake of getting small twists this year and my hair has not thanked me for it. I have never seen it so dry before, it was breaking so badly. There was hair all over the bathroom every time I combed it and lets not even get started on washing it!! I've spent the last 2 months doing really deep moisturizing conditioners weekly to get it back to the way it was and I'm very nearly there. Since my last relaxer nearly 2 weeks ago, I'm only losing a couple of strands each time I comb it but the hair doesn't feel as soft as it used to.
What I'm going to try now is to continue to DC and then stretch out my relaxers. I'll be getting a full head weave next week to help with the stretching. I've also ordered Mizani Thermasmooth after reading good reviews here
It'll be my first weave so does anyone have any tips for taking care of the weave and my hair underneath it?
Thanks,
K
