Taking a Break from Posting
Hey my sistas in growth!! All my life I had a nice head of hair but after years of not caring for my hair properly, it broke off in 2004 and my nearly APL hair went back to shoulder length. In 2006 I found a new stylist who made my hair look great, but it wasnt growing, namely because the only thing that was done to my hair, was whatever she did.:perplexed So after 2 years of being frustrated, I found LHCF after hours of internet surfing.. and it was love at first post!!:grin: Here are some pics of me before, during, and the end of my very first year. Thanks for stopping in, enjoy!!

My stylist made my hair pretty but I had dyed it, those ends were raggedly, and my hair was thirsty..so in a nutshell, pretty does not equal healthy:
