Hello All,
My name is Sandra and my hair has been in Sisterlocs for the last 3 years. Right now, I am about BS length and it seems to be going crazy in it's natural state. I love the versitility, because I can do just about any style imaginable and not have to worry about damage due to blow dryers, products, and chemicals. The best part.....no worries about sweating it out during workouts. Wash and go. I love it!!!
Thanks for the invite!!!0 -
Morning ladies.. My name is Pam, my hair has been loc'd for 5 years. It was just below BS until January of this year. Some of my loc's snapped from being over processed (didn't completly get it all rinsed out) I trimmed it to just above shoulder length. I've since nursed it back to health and I am back on the path to long healthy hair

Hello,

Hi my name is Kris. And I have been natural since Mid/End 2006. I Loved my hair. I tried to loc my hair which started off great. It grew sooo fast. I have suffered from Alopecia since around 1994. It was doing well be between my locs and other stresses in 2010 I started going bald. In the beginning of this year I finally had a Doc say it will grow back. I now have a head full of hair it's just really really short maybe an inch.
I'm trying to get accustomed to short hair. Because when I went natural in 2006 I refused to do the BC. Now that I have done the BC in reverse :laugh: it's starting to grow on me. My goal is too have my hair between my Mid Back and My Shoulders. All ideas, suggestions are welcome.
Also could some one give me the legend for the length of hair. Like MB = Mid Back. That is about the only one i know.
Thanks,

Hello my name is Felecia, I have been natural for 2 years now and I refuse to go back. Going natural was the best thing I could have ever done for my hair. I didn't really do the BC, I wore braids a lot while transitioning and slow began to cut the relaxer out ever time I took my braids out. I am using Kinky Curl products now, I like them a lot but i am always open to try new things. Any Suggestions????0

Hello! My name is Dawn and currently, my hair is somewhere between MBL and WL when I pull is straight. I had WL hair until I had my first child, then got frustrated and cut it to my shoulders. I have let it grow and cut if over again a few times, but over the last few years, I decided I love it long, so that's where it stays. I have curly/wavy thick hair that I do color (I have 5 kids...I go gray on a daily basis!), but I rarely blowdry or straight iron. I am questing to find shampoo and conditioner that really work, so I hop around a lot from brand to brand. It seems that when I find something I like for curly hair, they discontinue it. It's very frustrating. I had never really heard of co-washing before, except in passing, so this is something I definitely may want to try. 0

Hi All,
My name is Dana and I have been natural for about 2 years now. I have APL hair and use the CG method. I am also looking to lose some weight.. I want to have healthy hair and a healthy body. The two goes hand and hand, in my opinion.
Currently, I am wearing a protective style and do very little to my hair...only a moisturizing spray. When I let the curls free, I co-wash about 2 times a week. I shampoo and use a deep conditioner monthly.
Please feel free to add me to your friends list. The more motivation I have the better I do. I love the encourage that I receive here. Can always benefit from a new friend!!!
Talk to you all soon!!!0 -

I'm Sonya. Thanks Curvi for the invite. I've been natural since September 30th of last year. Wow almost one year but over a year since my last relaxer. I'm now loc'd!! I love the low maintenance of getting up and going. Although locs isn't really low maintenance, it's better than when I was doing twistouts.0

I've been natural for about 12 years now. Ive worn twa, dreadlocs but mostly close cuts. Right now my hair is cut but I'm growing it out. This is going to be a journey. My hair is.... Tough to say the least but I will NEVER perm my hair again, EVER. I have two daughters and I will never perm their hair either.0

Thanks for the invite! My name is Glenda. I've been natural for almost 17 months with a 15 month transition. My hair is in layers, and my longest layer is approaching MBL. My goal length is between TBL and HL. I am in protective styles 95% of the time. I cowash only, 2x per week, and deep condition 1x per week. I use the LOC [liquid, oil, cream] method for moisturizing and sealing my hair 2x per week. I also use the GHE [greenhouse effect] on my hair 3x per week. I am so glad to be a part of the group and look forward to growing my hair with you all to longer lengths!0

THANKS FOR THE INVITE... :flowerforyou:
I am new to the Natural hair thing and still learning. I have been Natural for about 2 Years w/ about 2 inches of annoying permed tips that I have yet to chop.. :noway: I am in desperate need to replenish this CATUS....Any Suggestions, I hate dry looking hair :grumble:
Other than that going Natural really wasn't to much of a problem being that I rarely got perms but once a year. I think I would like it more if I had more things to do with it other than walk around looking like EDWARD SCISSOR HANDS or BUCKWHEAT...:sad:0 -

Welcome!!!!... If you go on Youtube you can find lots of hairstyles for transitioning individuals. It can be quite helpful with products and styles you can try. Good luck0 -
My goal is to see how long I can grow my hair and keep it healthy... This is going to be a journey. My hair is in a TWA about 1 and ½ inch very big curls and thick. I co-wash only, 2-3x per week, and shampoo and deep condition 1x per week and do a ACV rinse 1x a month but I moisture daily with my spray bottle and oil esp. before bed. I love the versatility, The best part.....no worries about sweating it out during workouts. Wash and go. I love it!!! I am so glad to be a part of the group and look forward to growing my hair with you all to longer lengths!

What a fun thread!
My name is Yana and I am currently NL hoping for HL one day. I've been natural since 2005. I first went natural in 1998, but began "texlaxing" off and on until April 2005.0 -
Hi, thanks for the invite !!! I have been natural for 4 1/2 years, I ended up doing a second big chop a year ago, but now my hair is BSL stretched, my goal is to get MBL ideally by next fall. But I'm patient, as long as my hair is healthy I'm happy. 0

I loooove long hair. Mine was past my rear when I got really sick, stressed, and went through a divorce. I lost so much hair it was straggly, so I had to have it cut to around bra strap length with layers to hide all the loss. Now it's getting healthier all the time and I'm getting more and more of it. It's super thick again and I just want it to grow!0
