New newbie!

Hi everyone! I discovered this forum a few days ago and thought it would be great to get involved with this community. I've always wanted much longer hair and I feel like I'm ready to start taking better care of it so it can look and feel the best it can. It's currently around the middle of my shoulder blades and I would say the texture is 1a. I don't use heat or dye but it seems very prone to tangles and breakage.
One of the FAQs I read through recommended putting conditioner on the ends before shampoo, and then again after rinsing it out. I think that's helped my hair feel softer and less tangled. Thanks to the advice, I think I leveled up in that regard already

You can call me Plasmius, or even Plas. I'm a millennial woman from the great Midwest. I love these forum emojis, I've missed being on forums so much. It's very nostalgic

Welcome, Plasmius! I had actually started to forget about CWC, maybe I should go back to it... Anyways, glad you're here and finding useful things! And I love these emojis too.

I'm still doing the CWC, and I don't know if I can go back!

Sorry for the double post, I thought I included the quote in my last post

I meant to respond to you that I don't know if I can ever quit the CWC since I find it so helpful!

Howdy, good to meet you! I like to add conditioner first when I shampoo, too.
