After my last texlax when I was walking out of my house all dressed up and the wind came ablowin and my spiral curled hair (done by moi) flew up into the air and settled into place perfectly. I shook it around my shoulders just to make sure it was behaving and it was! I fell in love then and there and I knew it was meant to be.

Now THAT is a beautiful story! :yep:
 
When I bc'ed. It was shortly after Eve came out that I had the desire to cut all my hair off and go natural. Finally one summer day I was with my best friend talking about cutting all my hair down to to the new growth - she dared me and said I wouldn't do it. I said watch me! We went down to her BF's barber shop - I sat in the chair and told him to cut it. He said "you sure?" I said YUP! He did - then he dyed it reddish brown and I was in love forever. I think I loved my hair more then than I do now, lol. The longer it gets the harder it is to deal with - but I still love it.
 
.......I BC'D!!!!!!!!!!! It was like a breath of fresh air. I absolutely hated my relaxed hair and it was relaxed for 17 years. Sad right?? But now we are making up for lost time. I think my hair never cared for the abuse I put it through and it was so resistant to everything. I couldnt get it to lay down, when I wanted it straight it would curl, when I wanted it to curl it would stay straight. But now we are working together and I think that's all I ever wanted. So, yes I fell in love with my hair when I let it do what it do!!
 
...it became healthy.

Two years ago, I became a LHCF member and started taking better care of my hair. About the same time, I began eating smarter, avoiding stress, getting adequate sleep, drinking enough water and exercising regularly, and my hair (among other things) has benefitted greatly. I never knew I had "good" hair. :grin:

I second this. Yday I did a rollerset on 1 week post hair. it was hella windy outside and i was afraid that my hair was gonna b a hot mess. well after 10 min i got back in my car. guess what? my hair was still banging. i felt so good. later on that day however, my curls fell a lil bit. i decided to wrap it. later on i was goin to my bf's apt. i combed my wrap down and it was soooo silky soft and bouncy. i couldn't keep my hands out of it!!! i fell in love w/ my hair yesterday. it's still far from where i want it to be but now i know i can do it!
 
I fell in love with my hair when I realized that I needed to stop fighting it and let it take the wheel.....there's still days that I wanna put it in a straight jacket or send it straight to it's room for acting a fool but all in all I lub my hair! :lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
I just fell in love with my hair! Like a couple of weeks ago? A month ago.

But I got closer when I got to my first goal (shoulder, because I wanted that length for years and it was hard to wear it down and cute for me before this), played with enought to figure out what it could do (which I just got finished doing after almost 3 years, for me it was how it can look/feel/behave good)

And now Im just letting it be. My true moment was not to long ago I washed it, dried it, and pincurled it. In the morning I took it down, and it just fell and was so soft and shiny. And I just oiled it every other day and pincurled it at night, it looked so fresh...My real thoughts were I really love my hair now. Over the years from all this experimenting i've found everything my hair loves and I can just "go with it" now. :)
 
When i reached my short-term goal of BSL...well when i found out that i was BSL. Because everybody was complimenting me on how pretty it is and how long and shiny it is and how healthy it is. I felt pretty!

So now i'm going back to experimenting with braidouts. My eye is still looking forward to MBL and ultimately waistlength!
 
When my hair was finally soft. For so many years I didn't realize again that I would ever have soft hair again.
 
I recently fell in love with my hair again. I have to take charge of this because no one else has to wear it but me. I do my moisturizing, sealing, and rollersetting and I have much more pride in it.
 
Yesterday after I trimmed and flatironed my MBL hair and for the first time was comfortable wearing it down:grin:

I got so many compliments at church yesterday, the guy that I'm dating kept showing me off to everybody talking about "look at her hair, look @ my baby's hair!!!" :rolleyes:

I checked love/hate and played with it enough. Mainly when my hair became healthy and I just took care of it more. I suppose when you put effort into something, you can't help but appreciate it over time. Many times, I get frustrated (especially during bad detangling sections) and want to give up on it. That's the hate part. But I know that always passes and I go back to appreciating it. When I feel it in the shower or touch it during the day, or today(wore a braidout) when it just gives a little bounce when I walk or the wind picks up, I can't help but smile a little.
 
When i found LHCF and saw what my hair could be, i saw potential. I started paying more attention to my hair, i did the BC and now i fall even more in love with my hair, although we do have our ups and downs.

OT: QTS your family pic is sooooo cute. Love it.
 
When I went natural. I always hated my relaxed hair no matter how long it was. Now that I'm natural I can do styles that I could never do on relaxed and they come out looking good. Twist-outs are now my new best-friend:yep:
 
In October 2007 when it was professionally blown out well for the first time. My hair actually blew in the wind...that was amazing.
I'll really fall in love once I get to MBL.
 
I fell in love with mine when I did the BC and I washed and conditioned it for the first time... such pretty curls!!!
 
I loved my hair when I stopped trying to be fancy and do what other people could do. I let it do what it do, and the fluff is fluffy silky and fabulous and I love it. it might not have swang, but it has bounce and is not shy about showing just how big it can get.
 
Honestly, I'm ashamed to admit I think I have been vain since I was in the womb. :look: I think I have always loved my hair because people around me (relatives and some friends) groomed me to do so.
