Wow.. pardon my manners!! I should have stopped by this post FIRST, before I started posting out there!
Hello Ladies!! I'm a newbie, however I've been lurking heavily since July 2005,and I just decided to join. And I just want to THANK YOU ALL for all of this WONDERFUL information!!!
Dontspeakdefeat, I have printed all of the information from your album, and it is full of highlights, checkmarks, underlines...and notes from the methods that I've tried!!! I've also printed out SouthernGirl's relaxer tips--and it was a great help when I self relaxed last year!!
I've been wearing a bun/baggie since last summer, and my hair is sooooooo much healthier because of it!
And check this out, while at my pt job at Walmart, I sparked a convo with a customer who had some Nexxus products from the salon in her buggy. We started talking about hair, and come to find out, that SHE is a member on this board!!!!! Can you believe that?!! And she about DIED when I pulled my bun off and showed her my baggie!! LOLOL!
And check this-----when I visited my sister in MS last August, she kept questioning me about my bun/baggie. I just told her that I was trying to get my hair healthy again. But she sorta turned her nose up at me for wearing it everyday.
When I saw her again at Christmas, my hair hadn't grown very much, maybe a couple of inches, but it was SOOOO MUCH healthier with this nice sheen. She said--"what are you doing to your hair? It looks so good!!" I was like--- uh--huh... you were dissing my bun a few months ago, and NOW you wanna know what I'm doing!!.. lol
Anyway, this board has been truly been a miracle discovery for me!!! A God-send for real! I think I became a pj after my first month of finding this board!! The lil Korean man at my BSS knows my first name now! lol
I've bought and tried everything from the MTG, to the Elasta QP Mango Butter (which I LOVE, LOVE LOVE!!) to the S-Curl for the new growth, to just a plethora of other products!!
I apologize for the long post, but I just want to say hello--and thank you to all of you ladies for your information!!
