THE BEST OF 2003

[AngieK]

<font color="brown"> Since we are closing in on year's end, I thought it would be great to start a thread that would highlight the LongHairCare Forum's "BEST OF 2003." This thread would highlight significant personal product finds, methods/techniques, and other discoveries that were accomplished during 2003.

This could include the following categories:

<ul type="square">[*]The Best Shampoo Find(s) of the Year
[*]The Best Conditioner Find(s) of the Year
[*]The Best Drugstore Find of the Year (cheapies that perform well)
[*]The Best Finishing Product of the Year (oils, serums, shine products, styling fixatives, etc.)
[*]Best Personal Hair Care Technique (a technique that you have mastered this year which you feel has contributed to the overall health of your hair, or has helped you to overcome a hurdle)
[*]Best Advice RECEIVED From LHCF
[*]Best Personal Advice You Would Like To Share For The Coming Year (i.e. something significant that represents your biggest accomplishment - - or something significant that you have learned that you feel would help others - or a personal motto)
[*]Hair Resolution For 2004 (for those of us who have any!)
[/list]

Of course, if you can think of any other categories, please add them to the list!

I know that it will take me a little time to compile my list, so I propose that we all take some time to think about it. Then when you are ready, come back to this thread and post your personal "BEST OF 2003" winners.

Best Advice RECEIVED From LHCF

**Supplements are great but there is no substitute for a good diet and healthy lifestyle.
**Finally, there a lot more things to stress over then your monthly hair growth...keep busy with other things and it'll happen w/o you realizing it.

The Best Styling Product of the Year - Redken So Long Heat Treat

The Best Finishing Product of the Year – KMS Silker 2-in-1 Styling Crème

Best Personal Hair Care Technique – Fewer trims, which allow me to retain more growth. I believe I am able to go without trims because of using a good heat protectant.

Best Advice RECEIVED From LHCF – Though I learned this from other great hair forums in the past, I can say the best advice was to use a moisturizing conditioner after a protein conditioner and to keep my ends moisturized and protected.

Hair Resolution For 2004 – To learn exactly what MY hair needs and stick with those products that will fulfill those needs. I’d also like to be able to know when my hair needs certain things… like when it needs clarifying instead of just doing it before and after a relaxer.

Coloring maintenance advice from Tracy, Supergirl's advice to stay away from scissor happy stylists (SHS's), extreme hair care and maintenance hair care from Mahalia Lee, advice of all kinds from Jade 21 but personally, the one that helped the most was the encouragement I received last year from MsChiChi and Jade when I was about to give up the journey because I believed that fine hair couldn't grow past shoulder length. Whether these ladies know it or not, they gave me the determination to carry on with this, for which I am grateful. (Now if I could just get past my current length!
