No but darn some of yall just tore the girl a new one when she was just trying. I can see if it was her hair then I would look sideways by her not being able to answer some of the questions but she was just posting what she knew from seeing the girl. Then some of the comments got downright nasty. Q

I agree with Queeny. When I first came to this thread yesterday it only had 4 pages. Now it's 26 and growing because of this hair typing thing? I trust that Lilmae had the right intentions of trying to encourage those of us with 4A/B hair that long hair is attainable. In fact, I'm impressed that her friend doesn't even know what she uses and just lets her hair do what it does! She would have fit right in, but now I fear that she may not join at all.

Maybe we have too much time on our hands but I'm disappointed at the tone the thread took as it progressed. Judging from the insightful posts I have read in the past from many of the posters in this thread, I am certain that no one meant any harm by what was done. Having said that, I think we might really need to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves when it comes to how we go about questioning people. It's almost as if people started to question Lilmae's hair intelligence or something! Shoot, I've been here for 2 years and I'm still learning! No one needs to justify every little thing, do they? Scrutiny and healthy skepticism is one thing, but DANG GINA!!!

The heart of the matter is that we've seen further evidence that Black women can attain beautiful, healthy long hair and even more evidence for the natural folks at the versatility of keeping our hair this way. That's encouragement enough for me!

ETA: Wow, 28 pages!!

:Glares at Queeny...greedy heffer took it all.

You don't know me like that. This is whats wrong with Black women....hmmmpf.

Looks like we are going to need another order Mona.

i read through this whole thread and perhaps there are some whol feel thats not her real hair or something, which is why this is being blown up thats just my opinion, eh, who knows.

And it took me a minute to see that the OP was doing the best she could in presenting the example with the information she knew at this time. But the string of trivializing the questions and the people asking the questions along with the lack of information began to make it all look suspect to me and I said it openly, unashamedly so...to EVERYBODY.

It got nasty for me when some of the questions from the natural hair folk got ridiculed, as if the questions were stupid/silly, calling my responses "dramatic" and all of that. That's when it got disrespectful for me.

 

[poetist]

, what do u mean exactly by super old??? the fashions shes presenting do not look super old at all,, that plaid jacket look with sweater dress is awfully current.. LOL LOL im sorry i had to ask.....???

By "super old" braidout, I took it that she meant....more than 1 week old, rather than circa 1982. Like the girl had been rockin the braidout for a few weeks, hence its frizziness.

Girl you gotta be quick when us NYers are around. I still lub you though. Q

You know what? I believe people here were GENUINELY and SINCERELY asking about the hair type thing and wanted to see pictures of her hair in it's natural state. Same reason why people are wondering about the girl's hair regimen and everything, they want to see how they can get their hair like that. I don't see how the original poster got offended and upset by the questions, but that's something you have to be prepared for when you posted a gorgeous head of hair.

For example, "J" who has with type 4 natural hair comes in here and sees this girl's hair. The OP says this girl's hair is type 4. "J" would like to see how the girl's hair looks in it's natural state to see if her hair is anything like the girl's hair in order to determine whether or not she can achieve the same results. That's why people are asking all of these questions. No one is talking bad about the girl at all. They are just questioning things because they have incomplete information.

That was the point I was trying to make.

But it wasn't frizzy at all.

It's probably because of me.
I keep refreshing hoping lilmae will post some more pics. Her hair is gorgeous.

But the point of her posting was really just to show some beautiful hair. I can understand someone not being able to answer some questions when it is not their hair. I just think she was really excited and wanted to share with her hair buddies and instead got hit with a bunch of questions she just couldn't answer. No harm no foul. Q

 

[BeetleBug]

Who cares if it is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 type hair, it is still beautiful nonetheless.

 

[sxyhairfetish]

post has been deleted. I really enjoyd looking at that hair. o well.

 

[FlawedBeauty]

good post poohbear!

the OP probably took offense to everyone askin to see the hair in the natural state because she may have took it as those people didn't believe her that it was her hair and wanted natural/wet shots to prove it. i could be 100% off on this but i really can't see any other reason to get upset.

Totally Agreed

Common sense to whom YOU. I don't recall reading the bylaw about burning folks at the stake, especially when it's not OP's hair. When I see the a thread entitled LHCF recruit with pics, my common sense tells me hmmmh 'there are going to be pics of some fierce haired lady who might join and then contribute info to the forum'.

This is not directed solely to you. The entire tone of this thread is really disheartening. Even though the OP's friend obviously is not in need of haircare intervention, I feel as though she will be discouraged from joining. NO ONE should have to be scrutinized before even deciding to join. If her hair was jacked up, would she have been questioned to death then? erplexed

I agree with you that no one should have to be scrutinized. If "pretty hair" was a prerequisite to join, I wouldn't have been "accepted".

Honestly, I think the recruit got an UNFAIR snapshot of LCHF by this thread, not (necessarily) from the sticky responses to the thread, but by the OP kind of throwing herself and her friend under the bus (e.g., bringing her friend's hair pics to the board without being adequately informed about her hair type, regimen, etc.)

And you know the answer to your question about if her hair was jacked up would she have been questioned so fiercely? She would have been excommunicated immediately, without a trial.

But I can see if it was her own hair. She provided pics of someone else not her own. So yes I expect some info to be left out if it is not the OP's own head. I am sure if her friend would have joined, she would have been able to provide ample answers for everyone. Q
