I couldn't do anything else. My hair actually isn't that much different, I only got my ends trimmed and had all of the gummy hair gently sheared off. It was definitely for the best. I'll post a pic sometime today. For those who don't know me, I put a chemical straightener in my hair and my hair is bleached...bad decision eh? Anyway I got it trimmed and then deep conditioned, it's almost like I never put chemical junk in my hair! I'm still going to get my hair deep conditioned every week and trim off my bleached parts every three months. I think the only progress I'll make is growing out my natural color. But I'm still going to come on here and chat with my fellow longhairs, lol. You guys are really cool and I love chatting with you. Peace! ~Blonde~
