Honestly, I have not been caring for my hair as much I should have been this year. Although, I go to a salon for my weaves I can tell my hair is crying out for help. Dont get me wrong I have a lot of hair. Its also very thick and course as well,. So I would like to obtain a new hair regimine

2. [B]I plan to learn the proper way to maintain a healthy head of hair and achieve length in the process. In addition, I would like to obtain strength and lustor.[/B] I will be taking my weave out next week; so will take pics of my natural hair and post them then.
