Hello beautiful lhcf ladies! I will make this my first post after lurking for almost 6 years. I'm very shy even online, so I remain low key and just enjoy reading the wealth of information that you all provide, and looking at the hair pics. 
I stumbled upon this site after doing a search on little black girls hair care( I have two daughters), and it led me to Cathy Howse's site and from there I saw someone's fotki, and she had a link to this forum. I had rarely ever seen black women with hair past shoulder length until I came to this site, so it gave me hope that I too could grow long hair. Well lets just say it's been a rough journey. I was relaxed, and my hair was barely at shoulder length when I discovered the site in 2005, and I tried all the hair care regimen suggested. I had even tried growth aids, but my hair remained at a solid shoulder length for 3 years, so finally in 2008 I decided to go natural and see if it would make a difference. My last relaxer was in Nov 08. I transitioned until June 09 and did the big chop. Now, it's been a little over 2 years since my last relaxer. I'm at shoulder length, and I pray that I get more growth because it really seems like I'm stuck at this length. I hope it's not my terminal length. Darn it I just want arm pit length, even if I can just get two strands to graze it, I'll be happy lol I have attached a few pics that I took this morning of a puff. I'm a 4b but since I've been taking MSM powder it's slightly changed my texture. The last pic is a lacefront that I'm currently wearing this month. I've been wearing wigs as a protective style for almost a year now. Looking forward to learning more from you ladies. Be blessed!
