My fiance unknowigly pushed me even harder than I have ever wanted to go before!!!

So I have been using Megatek since September and I said I'd try it once, when it runs out I'm done. I want to wear my hair pressed and using Megatek really makes that impossible if I want to use it often. Something told me to hang in there a little longer - so I just ordered another bottle. It came in the mail yesterday at the very same moment I was thinking "At the beginning of November, I'm going to wear it pressed more often - I'm tired of buns and my twist outs aren't looking like they used to, so this Megatek will just have to wait :ohwell:".

So when I opened the box all excited, of course he asked me what it was. I've told him a little about trying to grow my hair out, but I haven't given him specific details (plus I don't think he was listening). So here's how the convo went:

Me: I'm so glad this came! This is for my hair - remember I told you what I was trying to do?
Him: Yeah - kinda. What was that again?
Me: Ok - well right now my hair is just below my shoulders; I want it to grow to at least my armpit so that it's not brushing up on my shoulders and clothes all the time and it's less likely to break off. That's why I wear buns and natural styles all the time. And this stuff (Megatek) is helping to keep it strong so it can get there.
Him: Ummm - that's not gonna happen.
Me: :hot: WHAT!!!??? OMG - you don't think that black women can have long hair???
Him: No, I really don't.
Me: Ok, you know what - I was just about to start pressing my hair again because I'm tired of wearing it like this and I know you are tired of seeing it - but now you have given me even MORE motivation then EVER before!!! Just wait and see!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHH he got me so hype!!!! :pyro:So we've only been engaged for a little over a month, and in the back of my mind I was saying that I won't get married until my hair is at least BSL - so that is my goal right now!!! So when people ask "When's the wedding!?" I'll just say "When my hair touches my brastrap!" :lachen: I know some people will think - oh, so you're never getting married then :rolleyes:. Just wait ladies....just wait. Sometimes the nest motivation is somebody telling you that it can't be done!!! Remember this post - because when I get there, I am going to make him eat his words!!
 
OMG I'd be heated and more determined to make it grow LOL I'm very stubborn, especially when people tell me I can't do something

I hope your hair grows down to your ankles! Maybe you could make a bet with him so you can get something out of this too LOL Good luck and congratulations on your engagement!!!
 
I'm cheering for you! I know you can do it! I will be looking forward to your updates too...you're right, this is probably the BEST motivation!
 
In January, a coworker of mine said the same thing to me. It's killing her that I'm proving her wrong! :grin:

Awesome progress! I can see a definite difference in a month! I just got my MT, I hope I get some good results too! Congrats girlie! :grin:

Thank you!! And you know what - I think I will do that. He likes to gamble anyway, so let's see what I can get out of this! Thanks for the idea!

Thanks!! Yes - proving people wrong is like the cherry on top!
 
I know you'll get to BSL and more.
You'll be married and he will start bragging bout 'how his wife has looong hair.
lol
 
Yes girl, grow out your hair before your wedding. lol. Prove it to him. But I don't think you need a trim just yet.

I haven't trimmed since last December, so I'm really trying to hold out as long as I can....but it's hard! I'm staying away from the salon because I KNOW they will want to trim.
 
you'll prove him wrong. besides what do guys know about hair care anyway. I think they could careless. He probably thinks why would she change her look and I think shes so beautiful. Dont take it personal. Women think the same thing do, and i know most of us though blk women couldnt grow hair either HTH

Thanks! And you know what - saying that reminded me of one thing.....he's bald. And I don't mind, I love him regardless, but I think he wishes he could grow out his hair again (his hairline started thinning, so he just wears a baldie). Maybe I was being insensitve - but I forgot about men and their hair issues too. :perplexed I offered to let him use my Megatek! Lol.

Aww that's nice of you, bc I'd be holding on to it like it was "the precious" You are just about at APL so I don't know what he's talking about anyway.
 
i can't wait to hear the "after" part to this story... when you've grown your hair long enough to smack him in his face with it :grin:
