BC/TWA doesn't look good on everybody.

Expensive salon quality products are always better. Stop looking for cheap alternatives & expecting the same results.

Air drying is not only overrated but BAD for your hair.

Chemical-free pressed hair is still natural.

Henna is stupid.

Indian hair products are stupid.

Uneven hair is ugly.

Less is not more when it comes to conditioner. Your head needs to be saturated with the stuff.

Cathy Howse is a liar.

Tree braids aren't cute.
 
Natural hair isn't for everyone

Type 3 hair is easier to manage than type 4 hair

I don't care if i grow 6 inches in 6 days, I refuse to put vagina cream on my head :nono::ohwell:

Detangling is overrated

Using a comb is overrated

The indian regimens are too tideous IMO

If retaining lenght is taking over your life and finance you should give up

Less IS more, these less you do, the mor your hair will grow. People with most hairgroth usually just wash and go

Weaves and lacefronts rarely , if ever look good;
 
Expensive products are usually just a waste of money

Airdrying is overrated

You can use direct heat and still have nice healthy hair

Thin ends always look bad
 
Hair growth is largely genetic.

If you have to put a ton of different products on your hair to keep it moisturized it is probably damaged.

Indirect heat is not the devil neither is direct heat sparingly.

The only moisturizer your hair needs is water and conditioner.
 
I don't beleive most of the "this will grow your hair bs" BUT coochie cream does grow hair faster.

airdrying is not the holy grail
the Pibbs is overrated for the price and the hoops some folks have to go through to get one
some folks don't look good with natural hair (but some folks don't look their best with relaxed hair, either)
the average white woman grows her hair longer with way less effort than the average black woman...that is all

LMAO at some of these.

But, im really curious and would like more info about how airdrying is bad---i've been thinking about wheter i should continue airdrying or not and would love to hear your opinions.

Anyway, why do you say cathy howse is a liar and tree braids arent cute lol?
 
1. No such thing as indirect or direct heat

2. Just because something is from a diff. country (indian, dominican ect.) doesnt mean its different or better.....it was just made somewhere else, still a shampoo, conditoner or oil

4. Heat can be good for your hair

5. If you color your hair your still natural

6. Stretching if your not planning on going natural can be more harm than good.

7. Mineral oil and vasaline arent that bad.

8. No combing can be horrific, as can co-washing daily.

9. You cant use a dime size amount of moisturizer for your entire head

10. Clarifying weekly is too much
 
Brown gel and conditioner =Miss Jessie's curly pudding:yep:

Simple reggie's are the truth

Indian hair is genetic and Indian products won't turn your hair into remy weave(I do like the smell tough so I use some:yep:) but if they're good products use them

Where are all the kneelength ppl that get 2 inches a month using growth aides?
Right... there are none:look:

Tea tree oil,honey = antiseptic like coochie cream,all natural and less embarassing/nutty

An occasional weave with S-curl on my hair is good for my hair but it looks tacky and cheap on me(yes I'm styling the weave before I wear it)
 
-You will not get pneumonia and die if you do wash n gos in the winter

-Combing your hair is overrated

-Natural hair is easy (right now, at least. Talk to me when I hit BSL:lachen:)

-Heat is not the devil

-Race doesn't determine growth rate

-Thick hair is overrated
 
Natural or relaxed... it's not a political statement,maybe ignorance or conveniece but not a testimony to my blackness

Naturals that call relaxed heads to lazy to detangle their hair better have a tight body,otherwise it's like sitting in a glasshaus:look:
 
Although I dont agree with everything that is being said. I LOVE THIS THREAD. I respect all of the ladies opinions....Awesome!

Don't take hair care advice from folks with short hair. Especially if they've been following their own advice and trying to grow their hair.

It doesn't matter whether your conditioner is expensive or cheap. Read the label.

Ojon Restorative is nothing but overpriced palm oil. If you're buying it you've been ripped off. Again read the label.

Do your own hair. your stylist will mess it up and then you will be on here crying about how some stylist messed up your hair.
 
- Taking pictures while holding your hands over your head are not accurate in showing length. I've been bamboozled as to where my hair really falls
- Heat is ok in MODERATION
- Using 50-11 growth aids are unnecessary

this thread has me laughing so hard im crying!!!
 
Mineral Oil in a product works for my hair
Blow dryers are evil weapons of destruction (Dominican Salon)
MN DOES grow your hair and your scalp doesn't know its vajayjay cream
Aphogee MUST be followed with a moisturizing conditioner
Dying your hair does not change the texture or loosen the curl pattern
Wet kinky hair looks different then dry kinky hair
4b's can enhance their curl pattern with the right product and proper technique.

*I think there is such a thing of too much protective styling lol let you hair breathe lol some people (I know most of yall dont apply) do not how to take care of a protective style, walking around with an ashy bun.:nono:

:thankyou: You had me crying talkin' 'bout ashy buns!!!!!! :lachen:
 
Afros aren't for everyone
Retaining length as a type 3 or 4 natural isn't easy.
ORS lock and twist gel sucks.
 
-some people showing BSL hair photos need to get bras that fit right, the strap too tight so it is up too high.
-I agree that some people are born with it.
-stretching and no-combing stinks, even if they help retain more.
-some people take this board too seriously
-hair is not that serious
-cheapies are not really all that.
-expensives are not really all that.
-rollersetting texlaxed hair does not get it straight.

I am sure there are others. I will be back.
 
There is no such thing as an undetectable hair weave. Me and my crew can spot that birds nest a mile away so stop trying to pass it off as your hair.

Some women spend too much time on their hair and not enough time on their body.
 
-If you choose to sleep with MTG or a crinkly bag on your head, dont get mad if your SO goes STRIAGHT to sleep when you get in bed.
-Airdrying works...if done right
-All Grease is not bad
-Combing is necessary!
-Rollersetting is skill...I aint got those skills!
-Its Ok to let your SO touch your hair
