Has LHCF made you HAIR COCKY?

[sylver2]

WOW!! so sad...do you think she did this on purpose or just didn't know any better

i have no clue. I finally jetted after she yelled at me casue i asked if she could please not trim my hair that week.

EVERY WASH!?!?!?!?!/

Yes EVERY wash. I went to her every Fri for a wash and set. and she would trim after every single wash tellin me i needed it in order for it to grow.

 

[vnaps]

i get irritable when i hear bad info being passed to someone....

BUT

i dont always feel comfortable telling others what to do

BECAUSE

my hair isnt that long yet.....and i know people dont always value the opinion of others if their hair isnt long (thank goodness for LHCF) but doesnt have the length to show for it.....

i HOWEVER

tell my Indian friend off for using commercial products when she has such a wealth of knowledge on ayurveda.....she has long hair but EXTREMELY thin

AND

i hate it when she comments on my hair coz she calls it....

"LITTLE HAIRS"

SO

as someone mentioned i will try to lead by example and look after my hair....

AND

i will give advise when asked.....i believe in sharing knowledge.

 

[SouthernStunner]

I dont think I am hair cocky right now. I have the knowledge and I am willing to share it with whom ever wants to know. Since I am in braids due to the fact that I am going 1yr relaxer free and doing the C&G no one thinks I have hair. Its like if you got braids then you must be bald. But when I step out in Dec with long healthy APL thick and lucious hair then they gonna wanna know what a sister been doing. I think then I might act a little cocky but its just towards my haters.

 

[CandacyEliz]

Yes...

too bad I can't take my own advice

I'm learning though

 

[fivetimestwo]

Yep and I just shake my head when they say crazy stuff. Sometimes I think they offer "advice" as a way for me to sabotage my progress.

 

[sprungonhairboards]

Not cocky. Just better.

j/k

 

[ThickHair]

I am a little cocky. People do ask me for advice, but they don't believe me when I tell them my simple routine. No Poo with cheapie conditioner, no heat and twists. Seriously that is it, they all want the magic tonic and I tell them their isn't one. They tell me never mind since I won't share.

 

[ShaniKeys]

I hate to admit it, but yes. And the funny thing is, I'm just a sophomore herebut compared to some of the ladies I know IRL...I'm a hair guru But I have to be honest, more and more black women are getting informed

 

[Likeyouneverseenme]

I keep it to myself, people don't listen anyway.

 

[RedVelvet310]

Oh yah..

 

[Irresistible]

I'm too afraid to be cocky over hair

I know how quickly it can be a loss

Eta

too busy being thankful for what I got after going through some things

 

[Marand13]

Of course!
When it comes to hair nobody can tell me nothing especially someone whose hair is not longer and healthier than mine!

 

[LivingDol1]

actually i don't think i know much of anything. perhaps i haven't been on the board long enough yet. i don't think i will ever be hair cocky. lol.

 

[truthbetold]

I swear I know everything. So much so, I tell white people what to do with their hair. I have a friend spends hundreds on her hair WEEKLY and has the worst breakage. I'm like girl you need a protein treatment stat...like I'm on ER or something.

 

[lilsparkle825]

No.....

I guess I'm in the minority. erplexed I don't really take what I read on LHCF as knowledge, per se, but more like a collection of experiences & advice from knowledgeable women. Not gospel, though.

I don't think anyone does, but once you find out what works for you and start seeing results THAT'S what becomes the truth.

I keep it to myself, people don't listen anyway.

me too. i think most of us go through stages: become a lurker, get excited, register, go telling everyone what we are learning, get laughed at (or snubbed), get mad and learn to keep it to ourselves, grow some seriously gorgeous hair, and devise a one-size-fits-all answer for people when they ask how you got your hair like that. my current answer is "i wash it".

 

[Carisa]

Not necessarily cocky but I don't really listen to others advice as much since I feel like I've found what works well for me.
