I know where you are coming from Nychaela I have been married 8 years and my husband has finally seen my real hair. He loves it better than the braids I have been sporting. Your routine treatment is fine The ladies here have been so nice!! I had no idea on how to take care of my hair since it has been natural for over 10 years and I made the jump to relaxers and it is like starting all over again learning how to care for my hair. I have learned more here than at salons and stores because those people there are trying to make a sale and they usually tell you what works for other people not realizing that your hair is different from everyone else's hair. I learn more and more everyday about what my hair likes and what it doesn't like. This board has been a blessing to me Did you order the MTG yet? I heard that it works wonders and I ordered some yesterday. I cannot wait for the stuff to get here. Since your hair is still braided, you should go ahead and order the trial size and see if it works for you. The trial size with shipping and handling should set you back only $11 dollars. As for wigs, I have no idea on where to look for those... If I find any good links about that, I will let you know. Good luck!!
yeah....I actually ordered it yesterday. I tried that WGO and had to get up and wash my hair.......it made me itch. Do you know how long it takes to dry braids?....Lawd, I'm tired.....but I applied some sulfer 8 to my scalp (and I feel much better)........I can really wash my hair this weekend. I'm going to take these braids out soon. I'm worrying too much about this, if he loves me, then he'll accept me until it grows back (prayerfully).....I will not be a slave to my hair!!!!!!!

patience is definitely a virtue yes, when it comes to our hair, our pride and glory, the only thing we can do is treat it right, get really great advice from others, and be patient. I can't stand being patient!! Yes, if your boyfriend truly loves you, he will stand beside you while the hair issue is being worked on. Yes, I do remember the days of the braids lol. It would take 8 hours for them to dry but at the same time it helped my hair grow so much. Black hair media has a ton of tips on how to apply the MTG in your hair. Definitely get a good look at that site and do a search on MTG. I haven't gone to LHCF yet because black media has so much information. Keep me posted on the MTG progress

If you must buy a wig, be sure not to order it through the mail. Buy it in person at a store. Some wigs look gorgeous, and you put it on, and it just doesn't fit your face, or it looks too fake. So always try to go where you can try it on.
Also, for black women (and this is just my personal opinion), curly or somewhat frizzy wigs are best because they look more natural than really straight wigs.
You want people to say, "your hair looks nice, where do you get it done?"
Not, "nice wig."
Hair type: who knows?
Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06
MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!!
Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so
ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH!
