I am proud to say my hair has improved a lot since joining LHC just a couple of month ago. One really big thing for me, is it is looking and feeling much thicker. I've had so many hairstylist tell how incredibily fine my hair is, and make jokes like "girl, you don't have very much hair do you," so I am ecstatic to know it is much more abundant. It has also improved in shine, and texture. The only thing I am not satisfyed with is the color, but I am willing, finanly after much frustration, to accept it, and take care of it so the beauty of my true color shines through.
I have adopted so many new techniques and treatments since joining, that make me feel good about taking care of my hair. I have gained at least an inch since joining, but have done two self trimmings(very lightly), and shorten my side swept long bangs. Doing those myself saved me $60-go thrifty me. A lot of times I don't even have to do anything with my hair to fix it, and I feel proud of it because of the great condition it is in. This is a big thing for me, because I have always struggled with self image issues especially with my hair (I have always seeked perfection, and never able to achieve it) but now am actually proud. I know it is getting stronger, but there is still some breakage, but I feel confident this will get better with time and care. A new treatment I am excited to try is a vinegar rinse infused with sage and rosemary-I have some stepping in vinegar right now, and will be trying either tomorrow morning, or the next. Also I just got a new moisturizing condish from sallys-Venetian Blends Masque Divina(anyone heard of it or used it?)-which seems to be pretty moisturizing, but rinses out easier than some deep condish. I am trying it out in my SMT right now that I am leaving in overnight.
Sorry about rattling on, but I am so happy about my progress. I will try to take a pic tomorrow, so I can post a comparison of beginning and now. Just wanted to share...would love to hear some of everyones proud hair moments. :)
Now if I could just find a community that gave great advice like this one for skin care, I would be set.
