Hello ladies (and gentlemen, too)

Just wanted to say a little thank you and say how glad I am to have found this forum... I havent been here long yet, but long enough for my hair to have improved massively.

A few months ago it was dry, brittle, stringy, disgusting, and getting shorter and shorter. Today it is still very fragile but looks and feels a 1000 times better.

Everyone compliments me on my hair, everybody wants to touch it. It is shiny and a lovely black colour since i have discovered indigo. I have embraced my curls, and they are (at last!) bouncy and glossy rather than uneven, flat and sull.

Today I roller set my hair and for the first time ever i am happy with the results! My hair is silky and finally feels healthy. I will try and take photos if my temperamental camera feels so inclined. Below is a photo of my hair curly. I love it and I am so grateful for this forum and all the great advice I have gotten! Thanks to you all.

Oops, sorry the photo is massive, not sure how to make it smaller? I can't edit my posts yet, so if a kind moderator wants to delete th epicture i can try posting it smaller.

Wow, your hair is really gorgeous.
I also needed this forum to accept my hair type and stop fighting it...
Just keep up the good work and enjoy your hair!

Your hair is lovely. XD But you aren't a 4a/b. You're about a 3b/c.

It seems like everytime I post in one of these threads, I comment on hairtyping. xD; That must be obnoxious. Not like it really matters.

Your hair is beautiful!

I joined around when you did, and LHC has already taught me so much! The difference between my hair now and a month and a half ago is just insane!

Here, here! I also am new and am thankful that LHC is here. This is an amazing site full of information about hair that I never knew. The community is also one of the most supportive groups I've ever joined. I wish I had found this site years ago.

Pocahonta: you are a very beautiful woman. Your hair is gorgeous.

Wow, your hair is beautiful! You are beautiful! :bigeyes:

I totally second what you said- the only thing I've tried so far is "SMT", but my hair loves it! :cheese:

Your hair is beautiful!! Love the curls. Did the roller setting make it curlier? I'm wondering about your natural hair type (without the roller setting).

Welcome to the LHC, Pocahonta_s, and thank you for sharing your photo. You are blessed with the most beautiful thick and bouncy curls.

Gorgeous hair, and it looks so healthy. That indigo sure did you justice!

I thought I might add that I don't think you are actually a type 4 at all. It looks like a solid 3B type to me. I've seen 3Cs with a consistently tighter curl pattern than that.

Beautiful curls! I agree with the others about it being in the 3 range.

Ha ha Glass Eyes not obnoxious at all - I wasnt sure what my hair type was at all, so I based myself on photographs of other women with hair that looked similar. Thanks for the tip, at least now I know what it actually is.


Your hair is beautiful!! Love the curls. Did the roller setting make it curlier? I'm wondering about your natural hair type (without the roller setting).

Pixna these curls aren't from a roller set but a braid-out. My hair is naturally this curly but the curls get a bit messy and uneven or frizzy unless I leave it soaking wet after a shower and drip dry (which is an absolute pain). So I spray my hair with a bit of water and braid it at night (into 8 braids). When i undo the braids in the morning it looks like that photo.

When I want straight hair i do a roller set with big rollers (approx 7cm diameter) and dry under a hooded dryer (takes forever!), then when i take the rollers out I gently comb the curls out, wrap my hair around my own head, cover it in glad wrap to hold it together and go to bed. In the morning it is nice and straight. I wish I could post a picture but my camera stubbornely refuses to function.

Finally got the camera to work (it is ancient). Here is my hair today, from the roller set:

I cant get it perfectly straight with just the rollers, but I guess I am happy with this for now!

I agree, it's amazing what LHC does for your hair. Mine is already better and man, it just hasn't been that long! Clearly this is [insert deity]'s gift to the internet.

Oh wow, it looks beautiful rolled and worn "straight." I do love your curls, though. But, frankly, you are gorgeous either way!!!!!

If you ever get the picture thing figured out, let me know-- I have the same problem with them appearing huge no matter how I resize! :rolleyes:
