Hi!
It have been a few weeks i introduced myself and i want to share with you a decision i made. It's the first time i decided to grow my hair.I have very curly hairs so i decided to go to the hair-dresser to smooth my hair with chemical products to make the growth more comfortable. I did that three times and i just decided to not do that again. I don't know how my hair will look like and i will not have the time to go to the hair-dresser for several months but i think it's time to let my hair be as they should and i hope they'll still look long. I just wanted to share that with you.

Congrats on the decision to grow your hair out and no longer use chemicals. I once got the urge to dye my hair, which I did, and I can tell you that while the initial results were ok, the upkeep was a nightmare. I had to dye it every couple of weeks because the roots kept showing, and the chemicals damaged my hair badly. When I'd finally had enough and decided to go back to my natural hair color, the only choice I had was to cut it off. I went from 18 inches to a buzz cut, then let it grow for a couple of weeks to let the roots grow out, then buzz cut it again. That was the only way to get rid of the artificial color. I'm happy to say my hair is now even longer than it was when I cut it, but it was a long road and I had to go through that dreaded awkward stage again. I haven't had so much as a trim since that buzz cut, and my hair is almost to my belt. I'll never use chemicals again.
Welcome
Curly hair looks good when long. I would strongly advise you NOT to try to straighten it - the chemicals will do you hair NO good whatever.
