Do you feel like you know more about hair than everyone else? When you hear people say the CRAZIEST things about making your hair grow, do you hit them with a stale face :ohwell: and chuckle in your head :laugh:?
 
Yeah, when people say try this or that(and many times I've tried it or something similar and my hair shedded out) I look at them like:cool:, yeah thanks for the info...
 
I've always been like that. I don't discuss hair with others because people say the oddest things. :perplexed
 
Yeah I heard you're supposed to wash your hair every OTHER week...this girl SWEARS by Dr. Miracle... just MESS!
 
People come to me for advice but yes when folks start trying to offer advice I'm like :rolleyes: Like someone told me I should get my tips highlighted a different color. (I just went natural) I'm thinking who the heck asked you?!:perplexed:lachen:
 
YES!!! I am wearing a sew-in and my best friend told me if I didn't wash my hair I could keep it in up to 3 months... :ohwell:!:nono: Well the LHCF me is a co-washing fool!!! lol :yep:
 
Yep. It's funny now when I hear people say stuff. I used to to go all out with these lengthy explanations with reasons to back it up (lol). Now I just smirk when I hear something crazy and keep it moving.
 
It's very hard for me to keep my opinions to myself but I do. I notice that people will not take my advice... especially braiders. They are the worst because they don't want their clients washing their hair at all...

And yet, every braider that I know is bald!
 
YES. And I find myself arguing with random people on the street, a habit I need to quit..:lachen:
 
I was for a while when I first learned about all this stuff and had to defend myself against friends and family.

but now I'm not at all. If someone says something stupid, I just change the subject. Some hairstylist was telling me that henna will take my hair out :rolleyes:

If they ask for advice, I give it to them. I don't want to be type to get cocky just because I have something valuable (not that my hair is so nice, the valuable thing is the knowledge) that others don't. Well, I try not to be.

Don't get me wrong... Not that anyone here is a bad person and I'm not trying to come down on anyone. Stay hair cocky if you want, it doesn't bother me, lol. I mean, I think a lot of you here are wonderful ladies.

It does seem a little snobby though and it doesn't give me a positive vibe. Lord knows I need to cut out as much of the negative as possible. It's just not my thing.
 
I actually find myself being the opposite. I see family and friends struggling with different products and just using crappy products on their hair. I find myself overwhelming them with information and asking them often how they are making out with their hair and this natural product etc. I just did a BC about a month ago so I guess they look at me and say, who is she. Her hair is short lol. How could she possibly know what to do. I just smile and nod..and think you will see. Besides -- my hair might be short now but its super healthy and strong and no breakage or shedding. I'd take that anyday over super-long hair that is NOT healthy.
 
I feel like the guy from the Matrix who "saw" the real world for the first time after discovering LHCF!

I don't even discuss hair with the folks because they don't want to change their mindset about "black" hair.:ohwell:
 
YES! I catch myself doing this when my stylist tries to share what she thinks are new techniques and products. She'll start to say something and then I'll finish it or tell her how it works better. Yesterday she called me to confirm my appointment. I'm transitioning and I suggested that I do a pre-poo before I come in for my wash and style... she agreed and recommended EVOO, I told her that I would add a little of that to my shea/coconut whipped butter I made for my hair! After we hung up, I thought to myself "I know I'm getting on her nerves".
 
Yeah I feel I know more than the average joe....and even the pros....

I got ppl comingup to me randomly even at work asking me for advice....

And dare I say.....I love it! :lachen:
 
Actually i've been HAIR HUMBLED by all that I did not(& do not) know:yep:

I try not to judge those who are ignorant about hair care cause I've been there too! The knowledge is there to be had but some people prefer to live in the dark and continue unhealthy habits and practises even when they know there is a better way.
 
When I first got into this hair care stuff, yes. I used to find myself hearing bad advice at work or school and going "actually its blah blah blah" :nono: I had it bad. ..not so much anymore though. I dont even like to talk about hair with anyone..unless I know they're really interested/ask for advice.

If someone tries to give me advice [good or bad] or recommends a product that I dont agree with Ill just say "thanks." or just tell them "I know what works for me." and leave it at that.
 
yes. lol. my friends be sayin the only NONSENSE sometimes. I try to keep a straight face even though I am hysterically laughing on the inside. lol
 
I'm not even that knowledgeable about hair and even I think wow this person really has no clue what they are talking about but I know that some folks are not LHCF memebers and will probably never know what we know or care how we care. Some of us are reformed some a re not. I just keep quiet.
 
It makes me mad though, because my hair's usually in a bun because you know....its cold outside I wanna save my ends. And I'll admit my buns don't usually look too hot. But I hate when people try to tell me my hair looks a mess. And I hate hearing "you need a perm" Errrr!
 
I have gotten so cocky, my husband is scurrrrred of how I will be when I get to BSL. You won't be able to tell me NOTHING.

Click to expand...

I am the same way. I tried and it didn't go well so I don't discuss. If someone ask me I just refer them to this website.
 
I was at first, but people didn't really seem to take my advice seriously so I stopped. I'll just wait until I'm APL and let my hair speak for itself. :gorgeous:
