I feel so blessed to have met all of you. Not only have you changed my hair's future, but also my daughters. I came here near the end of December very distressed about my hair. I thank God for leading me to this website because I know I put in the same keywords in the search engine before but this one late night in December I finally found LHCF.
The first album I looked at belonged to Don'tSpeakDefeat. I was blown away by her beautiful hair but what surprised me most was her honesty with how she had dealt with her kitchen area. I complimented her and thanked her for sharing. She said my kitchen could grow with TLC and lots of moisture. So, I thought, there is hope. Then one day another lady started a thread asking for help with her kitchen area. Many wonderful ladies chimed in but the one that stood out for me was SunnyGirl. She was transitioning and said that her kitchen grew just like the rest of her hair when she stopped relaxing it. That night I cried.
I finally realized that my hair, especially my kitchen area, could not be relaxed anymore. After all these years...it was not the hairdresser, it wasn't me, it wasn't my hair's fault, it wasn't even the type of relaxer--it was simply the relaxer. Then something started to open in my heart and I started to yearn for my natural hair. Not long after that Ayanapooh started a thread asking who needed encouragement to transition. God bless her. I replied with a long thread and I got nothing but love. Falon, in particular, responded that night. She said everyone should see their natural hair at least once. She said, "Maybe you should give it go," and sent me a
And I felt her compassion travel across the internet and into my heart and again I cried.
All the years of frustration finally melting away.
Her encouragement gave me the push I needed. I bc'd two weeks ago tonight. Naptrl told me I would be rocking a puff in no time--too sweet. I love my hair but sometimes I don't know what to do with it. I wanted to ask you guys for help last night but couldn't figure out how to ask. So I just read through a few threads and found mkstar826. I checked out her album and found answers to just about every natural question I had. Her hair is so beautiful and heart is so big. You guys really are like Angels. If you ever think you are not making a difference or that no one is listening--you are wrong. We need all of you, your knowledge, your love, your support and your encouragement. Special thanks also to these ladies with inspirational albums: Nice21, SO1913, Browneyedgirl, Fashionslave, Carefree, Ayeishia, MahagonyQT, Kengre and MissKrysKrys.
Thanks for listening.

I'm glad we could give you a nudge in the right direction, to do what you had in your heart all along. Sometimes it really helps to know that others understand, or have been where you are. 
Please keep us updated on your progress, and don't forget to take lots of pics, because one day you will be there to help and encourage someone that is in the same place that you were before finding this board. Much love and happy growing lady!
