Not to sound rude, but my advice would be to check out the rules of the forum regarding posts. Please don't use chat-speak, and re-read your post for eventual language-mistakes and eventual need for clarity. I'm not a native English speaker and I am definitely not used to chat-speak, so your post is very difficult to read, much less understand.

Please keep that in mind for future posts. It will probably generate more helpful answers and less mis-understanding.

Welcome to LHC! I hope your hair grows long and beautiful!

Don't think we're trying to pick on you, but I agree with Konstifik. I have a hard time reading posts such as yours and I think you'll find you receive more answers if you post more appropriately.

Read the VIT threads that Cailie linked to you, you should find enough info to keep you reading for a good while. There's also a search function that will be your best friend if you let it.

Take some time to roam our great community before posting so many new threads, you'll find that there's a wealth of information here if you just look.

Welcome to LHC, Alyssa, we're happy to have you!

I don't think you are being rude at all, after all we have those rules so that everyone will be able to understand everything. I actually had a hard time understandig the language too.
