My husband has been growing his locs for 10+ years. He uses my products
and our son's locs are just starting :yep:
 
Mostly a solo act. My sis-in-law and niece are now natural but we don't talk about hair -ever. I give them products that were just okay on my hair. They say thanks and that's the last that I hear about it. Once I tried to talk to them about my journey before they became natural and I saw their eyes glaze over and that was it for me. The subject is moot on my end. Hubby has noticed and said "I see you are taking more interested in your hair". Yeah I know, less shelf space for you. LOL. So you ladies are my release when needing to talk about hair, it's issues and products.
 
(Singing Patti Labelle's and Michael Mcdonald's song) "I'm on my owwwnnnn. How did it end this way? This wasn't how it was suppose to beee" :lol: My sister and I are both natural, we did the big chop around the same time. She doesn't take care of her hair, and it shows, she has so many knots, in her hair and her hair is always breaking. I try to help her, but she insists that she doesn't have the time to care for her hair. So I feel like I'm by myself on this one.

I voted "all by myself", but I really have you guys. :)

I don't have any family members who live in the same state as I, not many friends who don't have naturally straight hair (their challenges are different) - the rest are not as invested in hair as I am; at least when it comes to care.
 
Through most of it. I met a friend who has similar goals now even though our hair types are totally different.

Well, I don't have any close friends or family that have gone natural with me, but many of the ladies in my office suite are natural and we're always talking and encouraging each other. Some are newly natural, most are a year or two.

My DH is VERY supportive! He even replenished my Elucence conditioner LOL! He's always complimenting my hair and lifting my spirits. When I found a way to make my 4b/c curls pop, he noticed it right away and was in awe! So was I since it was by accident! And if I say anything about straightening it in the future he gets quiet and gives me the side eye like 'remember what happened last time' I have about 3 inches of hair now and everytime I stretch it out for him to see he says something like 'it'll be down your back next year!' Just exaggerating.

And then I have you ladies. So with all that, I don't "feel" like I'm on this journey alone.
 
Even though everyone in my family is natural and I've had friends help with my hair (one ended in extreme disaster), I'm mostly by myself. I care more about my hair's health than styling and that seems to be their biggest issue which is why I leave them out of it.
 
My Mom & Aunts,like using products that I buy & try to stick with routines the work for them..I have 2 girl-friends that try on occasion but,they are not consistent...So its just me & my LHCF Family...



Happy Hair Growing!

I thinks it so precious that you guys are doing this together! I wouldn't want my mom to read some of my posts on here,lol.

:lol: Well...We've adapted. When we first joined it was strictly for hair care; we didn't think about the other forums. Now, we just don't follow each other around the boards. And I've noticed that we aren't really interested in the same topics and don't meet up in the same threads often, unless it pertains to hair/skincare/makeup.


This is my sister's hair:

She has gone from almost SL to I think MBL due to the info we feed her from this forum. She refuses to join though, because my mom is on here. :lachen:But I guess she is still technically on the journey with us.
 
@*CherryPie* and @Theresamonet,

I think that is so cool that you both spend time here. I wish I could be on a healthy hair journey with my mom. I've given up on her; that lady doesn't listen to anything!

I'm working on dd these days.
 
I got my mommy skyslady who is with me all the way 100% :grin:
I am trying to get my bestie on the wagon but she is severely hair lazy. I do her DCs whenever she feels like letting me. I got her in protective styles and one day I know ima get her on here lol.
 
My hubby, niece, and sister in law are all very supportive!! Sister in law and niece are always interested in the latest product (s) I've purchased and how nice my hair is growing and looking!! Hubby is very encouraging and says nothing about the number of packages I have delivered :lachen:.

I love healthy anything especially hair, and going on this journey has been such a learning experience. Thanks for all the info u pass along :yep:
 
I voted for family because I'm technically on my journey with my twin sister (she's doing the natural thing and I'm doing the texlaxed thing) but even though she was really into it at first, she is now hair lazy. Soo I'm kinda alone and because I'm on here on a daily basis, now I just pass along information to her.

Oh and all my other family members give me the side eye when I tell them my goal length...but they'll see in time. My brothers fiance turns her nose up now in regards to starting a journey or taking me seriously, so I stopped trying to help her out but when I reach my goals, she better not ask me how I got there, cause 'mums' the word :yep:
