What do you think is waaaay over-hyped?

[Mahalialee4]

moisturizing with glycerine---nitro to my strands, they just snapped and shedded.
moisturizing between shampoos....a no no unless I just smoothed water or aloe vera gel over my hair...otherwise just oil the ends
too much moisture...too much oil, too much of anything and my hair rebels...shampooing too often, airdrying often without smoothing the ends etc. Henna loves me....so does deep conditioning...but I still go by what my hair needs at the time and am not rigid....

Just keeping it simple works best. bonjour

Coconut milk - sticky, gooey tangly mess!

Are you sure you used coconut milk? Its very watery, not really sticky and gooey. You sure you didn't use the cream?

wait the cream is sticky? it gives you tangles?

 

[LunadeMiel]

I used the cream yesterday along with some pure shea butter and it wasn't sticky at all nor did it give me any tangles. I just had bits of coconut left in my hair...

 

[Ladyhenri]

Some people are saying this is supposed to be a "light-hearted thread" or "don't be offended" while some people are saying that your methods of doing their hair is bs and over hyped... Riiiiiight....Who are you to sit here and say "_______is over hyped/bs..." I don't think anything is over hyped, but some things are over-done.

Vitamins I there are many people who over-do this by taking 10 pills or more. That cannot be healthy. I take flaxseed oil and EPO and I'm straight. It helps the health of my body, not just my hair.
MN I actually tried this and it worked. I didn't massage it while applying it (like another poster suggested) and didn't rmr to apply it everyday, but it definitely brought back my hairline when I used to pull my twists back to much.
MTG I took one wiff of this and threw it away. Won't say it's over hyped though. If it works for you, then do you.
No heat This thickened my hair so much. Using heat on damaged hair cannot be good.
Protective Styling Twist-outs, braid-outs, and buns helps me to retain my length.
Carrot Juice Reduces shedding, thickens my hair, and makes my skin glow. Like supplements, I do not take this only for the benefit of my hair, but for the benefit of my body. All that extra stuff is just icing on the cake
Scalp massages If one did their research, they would see that massaging the scalp actually does stimulate the hair follicles, and is also a method used in many other countries. I'm not gonna say that just because it's prevalent in many countries makes it "okay" persay, but if I see a majority of Indian woman walking around with thick waist-length hair, and 4 of 5 of them say that scalp massages stimulates her growth, you better believe that she's onto to something.
Overnight baggying I tried this and woke up with soaking wet hair, lol. Now I only baggy my ends, it keep my ends moisturized and soft.
Henna It's not messy or hard to do (for me). I love the color, strength, thickness, and shine it gives my hair. Aphogee and other protein tx don't give me shine and thickness like henna does.
Low/no manipulation My hair does not get tangled, nor do I lose tons of hair. Works for me.
WGHO I use it and never smell like a bag of a$$holes lol. I just use a dab of Victoria Secret Conditioner or Silicon Mix over it, and you can’t even tell I used it.

To each her own. Just do you, whatever gets you to the goal you want, do it as long as it is in a healthy way. The only thing I would categorize as "overhype" (for lack of better terminology) is not enjoying your hair. What's the point of having such beautiful stresses and not showing it off to your haters??? When you finally get to your goal and desired length, and your hair is healthy, put away the phony pony and show your hair off!

I agree with most of the above esp the enboldened part.

 

[ABC123]

This thread is very enlightening. I feel as though my PJ status just dropped down a notch.


Thanks Ladies for helping me to put it all into PERSPECTIVE.

 

[jtsupanova]

The "no heat" movement is overhyped for me. My fine hair feels mushy and dry without heat. Honestly, I've been frying my hair since the pic in my siggy and the ends look fine. I'm way too busy to walk around letting my hair dry all day.

Also, moisturizer is overhyped in my book. Yes, it sounds anti-LCHF, but my fine hair will snap like crazy with too much moisturizer. Another confession--I rarely use moisturizer. I just dab a little oil to seal the moisture from my weekly deep conditioning, and I'm usually good to go til the next washing.

Protective styles--once again, my fine hair is finicky. I've been wearing my hair down every day since my cut in the siggy. This is the first time I've been able to acheive growth without mysterious thin spots from repeated "protective" styles.

With all my LHCF violations listed above, I've gone almost six months with no trim. My ends still look good (shocked myself) and even my family noticed how much my hair has grown. I'll post progress pics very soon.

I agree I don't think that if the moisturizer/deep con that you are using works you should not have to use it every day or every other day for that matter.

 

[jamiss]

Extensive regimes scare me, mainly because I am lazy, and I like to keep all areas of my life simple. But extensive regimes for TWAs really make me
because this is the one time in my natural journey that I can truly get away with being low maintenance. Adding a bunch of crap to my little hair is not going to make it bigger faster.

 

[AvaSpeaks]

You know what I think is over-hyped?

Co-washes!

 

[applebananas]

Oh, I think the biggest hype that had me disappointed was baggying. Here I was thinking my already thin, dry ends would be revitalized and shiny and more protected and stronger than ever... and all I got the next day were some still wet, soggy, spongy hair that broke when I touched it. I then realized that just because it worked for some, doesn't mean it would work for me. And those some who raved so much about it, were just that, some. I wish people who just rub a dab of ORS Olive Oil on their pony and wrap with a scarf at night raved as much as the baggiers did, then I wouldn't have had to lose a chunk of hair in some plastic wrap that day.

Another one I can't seem to get is Oil rinsing. I refuse to slip and break my neck over something that had my head more tangled and dry than it was before I rinsed. I need to stop jumping on these bandwagons before I do some damage, because these ACV and Oil Rinses really aren't necessary for anything but tangles and going back and rewashing just to start over in my case.

When I hear about MTG my blood boils, because all I can smell immediately thereafter is bacon, and all I can feel is funky, thick, coarse, pubic-hair-like NG. I remember seeing that taco meat and hearing my mom ask me if I had been eating bacon (and I don't even eat PORK!) and then making up my mind never to deal with that drama again. I threw it out with 1/4 of the bottle still left, and haven't been inside another BT/MTG thread since. Regular vitamins are good enough for me.

And that reminds me!!! VITAMINS! I shoulda voted for that too! I think some folks are crazy to be overdoing this sort of thing. When I read regimens that say things like "I take prenatals, hair pills, biotin, B-complex, and 1,000 mg of this and that a day!" I think about how silly it is. It is unhealthy and just.... strange. Why go to such extremes when you know it can only hurt you half the time? I mean... Over some hair? Vitamins will only affect the hair coming out of you, not the hair already on your head, so why do I hear raves about them talking about how you've got swing and shine and your ends are better when you've been on vitamins for 3 months? erplexed Those threads are like a bad salon to me: I walk in and I walk out, don't even say nothin.

 

[HoneyDew]

I don't think vitamins are BS, but when I took them I gained weight, had VERY late periods and less energy.

I stopped taking them and 2 months later I am not losing weight (without changing anything), my periods are regular and I just feel better.

I just don't think they are necessary, unless you have a diagnosed problem like anemia or something.

 

[Soul♥Flower]

There are a whole lot of things I tried that didn't work. Like I think baggying works better on hair that is thick. I have thick hair but my ends are not. So not only was my head all sweaty, but my hair gets to break off too?! YAY!

Also, focusing on my ends...all that did was make things worse! All that moisture on already fragile ends=not a good thing.

Lenzi's Request=I mean the grease did have a nice consistency though

Henna I'm sure I didn't do it correctly, but once is enough..it's so messy

Co-washing daily man that was a mistake...although it did do something when my hair was natural.

Pre poo(man I hate that word), wash, hot oil, wash, condition, rinse, deep condition, mix that magic potion with this magic potion, rinse it out, then wash again...but don't touch it! You must not touch it or the hair angels will punish you... rinse, squeeze, twirl, spin, dip, roll..... I think yall get the point. Washing my hair started to feel like a quest for the Sorcerer's Stone. I lost a lot of weekends this way.lol

I think what works depends on the type of hair (1) and (2) not everybody does the method the exact same way. Some people are heavy handed, ya know?

Anyway, none of those things worked for me. After jacking up my growing hair hopping on all those bandwagons, I'm left with longer hair that's gonna have to be cut off at some point anyway. I just went back to what I know works.

Wash 2x week...oil...braid.

[wantingtogrow]

I wouldn't say pure BS but maybe overhyped

Texturizing while attempting to wear your hair straight on the regular... just.doesn't.work.

Complicated reggie's... most wsl diva's on here have very simple reggie's

Last but not least.... frequent cutting to even your hair out while attempting to grow your hair out... it's either one or the other

My hair grows superslow and un-even as it is... attempting to even it out held me back for almost a whole year,I stopped cutting and it took off

I TIA with the frequent cutting. Thats what kept me at the same length for 7 years. I am lucky that I have never had a problem with hair breakage (touch wood) but my hair grows so slowly so when I do to the salons to relax after strecthing they would always 'trim' which would set me back months (if my hairs grows 1 inch every 4 months and then one silly stylist cut off an inch, you see what I mean). My hair grows uneven and its fine with me but I guess it really bugged the stylists out and thats what even though I only relaxed 3 times a yr, it stayed at the same length until now...

This is me. Although I don't think moisturizer is overhyped, I do think daily moisturizer is necessary depending on the condition of one's hair. In the beginning of my journey I needed moisturizer every day. Now, I don't. For the past month I've been washing and deep conditioning every 3-4 days and use a little olive oil and moisturizer about once in between washings. My hair still feels very moist by wash day.

 

[gabulldawg]

Do you think that we can maybe clarify the definition of "over-hyped"? I thought we were talking about things that people may do that don't work, or have no effect on your hair. I'm just confused because a lot of people are saying no/low heat. I definitely don't think that you can argue that heat is healthy for your hair. How is that overrated?

 

[RubyWoo]

As for what is overhyped? For me, bunning is highly overrated. IMO, they can be damaging due to tension and positioning. I learned this the hard way prior to LHCF and was advised to wear different hairstyles. They just don't agree with my hair. I can see why it works for others since the ends are protected but the pulling back(tension) into a ponytail with a holder just doesn't work for me. When I used to bun, I had breakage on the sides and breakage where my bun was positioned. If I ever bun again, it will be a braided bun without a holder and just secure the end with a clip. I also wouldn't do it more than one day in a row.

I appreciate everyone's contribution and opinions - this thread was certainly fun to read and participate in . I respect everyone's viewpoints and I think it's great to know what y'all are thinking about the more popular bandwagons and whether or not you find them to be overhyped.

Regarding the definition of overhyped, BS, total BS, etc, I'm not going to clarify it because it is what it is. I want the definition to remain broad enough for you to determine what's overhyped or BS in your opinion. If you're unaware, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but not everything posted on here is the holy-grail of hair retention and growth, meaning it's not essential to hairgrowth, and in some cases, it doesn't apply at all. It's okay to read something and say to yourself...."Nooooooo, that doesn't look or sound right. I don't care if Susie is claiming to get 12+ inches per year (1 inch per month), something is off, so I'm not gonna fall for the okey-doke."

The way I relate some of the bandwagons on LHCF is like weight loss....(and I'm not trying to offend anyone when I say this, so please, do not take this personally)!!!!!

Many people who are overweight are willing to try anything to lose weight outside of the standard formula - diet, exercise, & consistency. <--- That's the basic formula if you want to lose or maintain weight. But instead, millions upon millions of dollars are spent on expensive (and unnecessary) diet pills, low-carb everything, atkins everything, slim fast, ephedra products, cortisol blocking agents, special diets (cabbage juice, grapefruit juice, home delivery meal boxes, etc) and the list goes on and on and on. For some people, the standard formula isn't good enough...there has to be some other way people are doing this....I'm gonna try everything under the sun, especially the xyz diet or product Susie was on because she lost 15 lbs on it.

Now let's translate this to hair. The basic formula is moisture/protein balance, protection (ends protected/heat protected), good health, and consistency. Why are we trying to fit a bunch of other things into the formula that are just extra? Why are we in search of the magic product or method? Isn't the basics good enough to get us to the end goal? When people report something new, overall, I think it's great that they are thinking outside of the box, but when things (IMO) are just waaaay left field, and when I read how people are jumping on bandwagons because Susie got 1.5" in 1 month using xyz product, to me that's total BS and overhyped [in SweetPea's world]. I keep thinking about Public Enemy's song "Don't believe the hype"

I understand that some of you ladies need a broken down wikipedia definition on BS and overhyped, but just take it at face value. On the other hand, some of you clearly get what I'm trying to say and I'm glad to see that this thread is still alive and kickin

Oh, and who am I (or any of you) to call something BS just because it didn't work for us?? Well, we're critical thinkers who know what's up with the hair game . But as always, if something is working for you, rock on!!

LMAO!!!!
hilarious!!


------------

to answer the OP's question.....I don't think any one thing is BS or overhyped. I'm a pj to the nth power, ----and I'm wErkin on that--- and have tried several things on this board....... but I wouldn't call any of the regimens or products BS. They just didn't work for me. If I had to vote for one thing, I would say the overnight full head baggying.

My hair was total mush after doing that. However, my hair loved the daily baggying under a phony pony when I was doing that on the regular!

My current carrot juice and flaxseed oil challenges are mainly for my health/fitness. I'm just trying to get in the habit of ingesting both.
Both have great hair benefits, but that's not my main goal.

Carrot juice--and juicing period, makes my skin glow, plus the health benefits of juicing is endless! I lub my juicer!
and flaxseed oil has so many benefits, I don't know where to start!

One person's trash, is another person's treasure!
