Hi! I've attempted to grow my hair out before but due to my extremely thick, curly hair, it proves difficult, and looks absolutely ridiculous when it gets to about 5 inches long. Are there any secrets to making my hair more limp and manageable? =)
I am glad to see so many curly-hairs out there. Wierd thing for me is that, looking at kid pictures of me, I had super straight hair. ChrisD Straight. And now...well, very thick and curly and progress seems slow because it just curls. I am planning on a long and frustrating akward stage.
I love Infusium23 Anti-Frizz 3-minute intensive treatment. I avoid shampoo, most of the time. I use luke warm or cooler shower water. I condition with this stuff every time I am in the shower. And I often use it as my styling product of choice on damp (gently towel-patted) hair. My hair is soft and relatively frizz free....and I really feel taht I am minimizing damage and keeping as much moisture as possible in the curls which are more prone to damage than straight hair.
I am almost at 6 months (I will be around Halloween) and love this site for support.
It is nice to have at least two or three people that have about my length of hair and share my hair type, more-or-less, with whom I will share this journey.
Best of luck.
