Hi there from Texas!

[Theophany]

Hi, I've watched the long hair community for years but never joined since I've always gotten bored & cut or changed my hair style too much to have consistently long hair. Plus I have fine, thin hair & hairstylists always told me that with fine, thin hair you need to keep it shorter so it looks fuller. Anyways I really like this forum & finally joined since I am rebelling & am currently at armpit length. Hoping to be tailbone length asap! Also going to start henna & drop the chemical hair coloring & just take better care of my hair.

Welcome from a fellow Texan! And a fellow finey :)

There's lots of great info on here, so jump right in!

[Theophany]

Hi there. :D Since you're fine haired & live in Texas as well have you had any luck with conditioner only washing? It seems to make my hair very soft but also very weighed down.

Welcome! :)

Hi there Lapushka. Just so ya know in my years of silently watching the forum I've read a lot of your posts. They're very informative! ;)

Actually, the CO washing isn't something I have ever tried with great result. I'm a standard shampoo the scalp gal, and I lightly condition the ends. Then again, right now I have chin/jaw length hair, so it's easy for me to overdo anything.

Even back in Nebraska I had no luck with CO washing, but it could have been my conditioner.

Wildcat Diva is another of our Texans, and she CO washes her hair all the time and has beautiful curls.

Whereabouts in Texas are you? I'm in San Antonio.

Welcome! You'll learn to see the beauty in every hairtype here, I bet yours is very pretty!

See that's what I usually do but I've been trying to be a little nicer to my hair. I think I'll just wear it up on days I cowash.

I am in East Texas. Coke to be a exact. Major metropolis. Not lol

:waving: Welcome from another Texan! This humidity has been a little maddening. The Rinse-Out Oil (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=129191) method has done a LOT to help calm my frizz, but since your hair is finer than mine, you might have to use a much lighter oil.

Welcome! Thin hair can look beautiful too, it's not just thick hair that can be beautiful :)

Hi all & thanks for the support! I don't know if I titled my 1st post correctly since I was trying to make an introductory post. Agghh! :rolleyes:

Hi Fern which part of Texas you from?? 😊 I'm new so is the rinse out oil method where you oil & then rinse out before you shampoo? Unlike how most people do it before bed?

Welcome! You'll learn to see the beauty in every hairtype here, I bet yours is very pretty! I try to look on the bright side. Even though my hair isn't thick it is naturally shiny, not heavy (see :Texas)😜 & people say it has a pretty coppery tone in the sunlight. & I really like your signature btw it's really cute! Thanks for the welcome
