[MsLizziA]

SIDE NOTE: I TOTALLY HAVE A NEW RESPECT FOR YOU MOTHERS! YOU WOMEN R SUPER HUMAN!

Any way, what have u been doing with your hair that u know is a bad practice... FESS UP!

 

[curlyninjagirl]

I cannot stop messing with my hair lately. I'm always stretching out my twists, twirling them, touching the ends to see if their dry. I can't stop touching!!! I find myself anxiously awaiting wash day so I can run my fingers throught it!

 

[PPGbubbles]

Confession... I got antsy last night and flat ironed my hair...knowing good and well I have another month before I was supposed to do that lol...I have been agressively PSn and I just needed to see if all this protective stylin paid off lol

I couldnt stop playing in it either... it just looked so healthy!!!! I am a lil past APL and I kept tilting my hair back to see what BSL looked like...hahahha


....and my roomies sister walked in asked me to straighten her hair.... and I had to thank my lucky stars for LHCF!!! she was disapointed with her results....heck me too....her was very damaged. but I know my hair wouldnt have been much better off than hers without this site.

but rather than gloat... I told her about my hair care routine and told her bout the forum.

I kept my hair wrapped all day under my wig...and I am pre-confessing... I plan to play in it allllll night lol.

 

[MsLizziA]

GIRL THATS HOW IT IS! You are so shocked by what you accomplished you can't even believe it!

 

[D.Lisha]

I confess that I, too can't seem to keep my hands out of my hair
I'm entering week 4 of my 12 week stretch, and I LOVE the feel of my NG
I keep rubbinng my hands through it just to feel that it's there (like it's GOING somewhere or something )
But feeling my NG is like re-assurance that my hair care regimen is WORKING

 

[SimJam]

I also have severe hand in hair

 

[gadgetdiva]

I confess:
I've been playing in my hair daily! I've been alternately applying my castor oil & wgo mix/Glover's Growth ointment (in the brown tube) nightly on my scalp and ends then rinsing the next morning...ok I co-washed it a few mornings. I'm noticing thickness but maybe I'm crazy but my hair feels sooo good!

Oh then one day i flat ironed it because I hadn't done it in forever...so ashamed...but my hair is growing like crazy and I'm amazed!!!

 

[fitnessmommy]

Me Three! My hands are always in my hair. Constantly.

I confess that when I straighten my hair and go to work I flip my hair around, run my fingers through it and always make up extra excuses to walk around the office. (For example ~ getting up to ask a co-worker a question rather than just shooting them an email).

I confess that I haven't done a true deep conditioning treatment (with my hooded dryer) since I started using henna!!! When I do my moisturizing deep treatment...I just do it in the shower with a plastic cap for about 10 minutes and hop on out.

I confess that I keep my search and destroy scissors in a little box underneath the couch so that when I watch TV at night I can also do my search and destroys simultaneously (and also because that will stop me from plucking off split ends rather than properly cutting them off).

Cute thread!

 

[chebaby]

i confess that today i did a puff with a too tight goody band. my brain was hurting so i took it off.
after it being on for 6 hours :lool:

 

[MsLizziA]

cmon yall don't sit back n lurk! yall know yall got something to say!

 

[PistolWhip]

LOL at MsLizziA.......Guilty as charged..girl I've been in lazy girl mode too by co-washin and slappin in the leave in and going about my business.....My excuse is (1) I've been lazy as h.. and (2) I'm in California and we had this heat wave..LAWD have mercy........****runs off to hide****

 

[lovelexi]

I confess that I am not doing a good job of protective or low mani styles. My hair is breaking and I feel like just chopping it off sometimes and being natural. I confess that I am disgusted with my over-processed ends. I confess that I am complaining and not putting in the work necessary to change my sentiments.

 

[EllePixie]

I also am a HIH junkie. It's gotten so bad that I wear my satin bonnet whenever I'm in my apt to keep my hands out of my hair. And still, I stick my finger under the bonnet to boing a curl. It's a mess.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

I confess Im debating about relaxing my hair before I start going into the job market after graduation..I have given my hair 3 yrs and it hasn't made those leaps and bounds moves like some have.

I confess I don't know why my hair itches so much and I haven't moisturized in days..sad I know..

Simplicity is key. Don't be surprised if you experience mega growth as a result.

Low fuss hair care is not a bad thing. I like hair, but I don't have the time or desire to micromanage it so I have nothing to confess.

 

[MsLizziA]

I also confess that I have a tad bit of breakage at the front of my hair

 

[FebeeSigns]

I confess that I may sometimes overmoisturize. usually I moisturize one nightly but I've been so paranoid that my hair will revert back to the dry mess it once was. My hair has been soft every single day for 1 month now, and I think it's too good to be true. So for the past week I've been testing out spritzing my hair not only nightly but in the mornings as well.

 

[mrsjohnson75]

I confess that I absolutely hate when ppl say things like: "Let me see a picture of your natural" OR "I kept my natural for 3 years." ughh...

It doesn't sound right. They are using natural as a noun instead of an adjective...

yeah I know I'm tripping but that's my confession

 

[Daeuiel]

I've tried to be good by just leaving my hair in flat twists and wearing my wig when I go out, but I can't resist constantly touching my hair when I'm home. So I have to leave my silk scarf on to keep from playing with the curls on my nape

 

[NicWhite]

I confess that I have an unhealthy obsession with cutting my hair. It took me 4 months to retain 1 inch of hair (largely due to my severe anemia) and in ten uncontrolled minutes I am back to 1/2 inch of hair.

I need to ask my husband hide the clippers.

I have been wearing a TWA for 7 years.....I think it's about time I let my hair grow out. You ladies are such an inspiration. I actually look foward to seeing myself with hair longer than 6 inches.

 

[NaturalLibra]

Lol I had to double check that it wasn't me that wrote this cause that is my behavior exactly lately. even putting my satin bonnet on the minute I get home and de-wig isn't stopping me. I'm washing my hair tonight and putting in cornrows to stop myself though.

 

[mariefof]

I confess that i was supposed to take those micro braids down but waited too long and now my edges look like a desert flanked by a few cactus (you knew them desert water retaining trees) here and there (or is it cacti for plural?)

 

[Oasis]

i've been natural for 3 years and said i would NEVER relax again. welp. i think it's bout that time.

i wish i had a different hair type.

i never moisturize.

 

[BoaterGirlKim]

I confess to the cowash/leave-in/neglect DC crime. In my case it's a crime because I get shedding without weekly to twice-weekly DC. When I'm DCing, shedding is almost nil. I also have severe HIH disease even though I wear buns almost exclusively. I'm constantly smoothing my hands over my hair so see how soft or dry it is and playing in my new growth at my side part. I confess that I have breakage at my nape from wearing my bun too high while stretching and being lazy for a time about moisturizing. Also, I've been feeling discouraged over the last 2 weeks or so about my slow progress and thin strands to have been at this HHJ stuff for a year and a half, but I started telling myself to be happy that at least I can use that word - progress! - and have started focusing on ways to improve thickness (or at least appearance of it) starting with weaning off cones.

[Makenzie]

I got lazy with my hair. Spritzed it with my conditioner water mix every morning and slicked it back in a bun for about a month. I was really surprised to see how much it had grown when I got it done Saturday. About an inch away from APL. But I am sick of wearing it in a bun. Now I have it weaved up.

 

[Barbie83]

I confess......

after 9 months, the siren song of the creamy crack is finally starting to ring in my ear

 

[eyunka]

I confess I have not washed my hair for two weeks and two days. I'm getting lots of shedding too.

Girl i thought that was your hair in the siggy! I was jaw dropped for a second

 

[PJaye]

I confess that I have been secretly researching and contemplating getting a relaxer for the last several months. Although I am still on the fence about the idea, I do think about it quite often.
