That's the LAST friggin straw!!!

[LadyPaniolo]

I would try rollersetting if I were you. Other options include banding, braid outs and twist outs. And lets not forget the LHCF fave, the bun

ETA: you have such gorgeous hair, you can actually wear cornrows or braids with just your own hair; I mean without extensions

Thank you! Sometimes I have worn cornrows with just my real hair around the house... when I leave I put my wig on over them. DH hates them. He says the cornrows make me look like a prison inmate! erplexed

I guess I just have to accept the need to spend lots of time styling my hair... for it to just get sweated out every day when I exercise... but I just don't have the time or patience...

I'll have to figure something out, though, because the weave is OUT! I'm almost finished undoing the cornrow base right now!

 

[LadyPaniolo]

WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!! WHY ARE YOU ADDICTED TO WEAVES?? There is no reason to.... I cant believe you would....

Im real mad at you right now!!







Ok.. i got over it. Girl, your hair is lovely. I hope you win the battle!

You actully made me laugh out loud with that! Thank you, thank you. I will need the strength of Sampson and the patience of Job to keep from reaching for that weave.....

 

[200AndOne]

girl bye - as pretty as your hair is!?!?!?!

 

[LadyPaniolo]

OK... I can do this.... I think

The weave is out, and my hair is now in a bun. If I had a phony pony within reach I would so have it on my head right now.... but they are all packed. (I won't wear them outside the house because they look so fake on me. My bun is the size of one of those big bagels at Dunkin Donuts.)

ETA: Y'all are some coldhearted sistas! I got VINEGAR in my EYES.... my EYES! And y'all are like

 

[Denise11]

You should be ashamed of yourself.. Covering up all of that beautiful curly hair with a weave!! LOL

Leave the weave to the people who NEED it. YOU DONT. You have gorgeous hair!

whimpers But isn't there enough to go around? I go in the BSS and they got it floor to cieling!

[infojunkie]

Thank you! I just don't really know how to style it.

You guys know I did just get VINEGAR in my EYES, right? lol I'm in here getting scolded, I thought I'd get at least a little sympathy! My eyes look like red M&M's right now!

Oh, yeah. We forgot. We were just so sidetracked by all that luscious hair!

Okay, here's some sympathy for ya: Whoo, whoo, whoo-whoo, whoo (while patting you on the back with one hand and feeling your REAL hair with the other.)

LOL!! That's so funny!!

 

[LadyPaniolo]

OK y'all, I've decided I'm gonna try Terri's method (shingling) and hopefully my hair will look ok when it dries.

--really, cut out the weaves...your hair is gorgeous.

 

[doll-baby]

Girl please ! Your hair is gorgeous ! If I had your hair I truly would be weave free 100 % of the time. I have my goal date of being weave free starting in July and my hair is nowhere as thick and put together as yours , I'm still working on mine

 

[LadyPaniolo]

Ugh... I tried the shingling and it isn't working! Ack! Maybe I can try bantus.

 

[tori_mama]

Oh my GAWD!!! Eyes like red M&M's had me . Sorry bout the eyes but your natural hair is bangin and Im . You'll find something to get you past this addiction. U can do it!!!! Oh and Sporticus makes me want to 'color' too!!

Thanks for the support! My eyes are feeling better now, thank god!

Sportacus can SO get it

 

[ThePerfectScore]

I love your hair, OP!!!

 

[Aggie]

Here are some pics of my real hair.

Girl you don't need to wear weaves LP. Your hair is gorgeous. I'm with your SO on this one honey.

 

[lonelysky]

I think that it is hard for anyone to have sympathy for your eyes b/c you're covering up your hair....

 

[LadyPaniolo]

I love your hair, OP!!!

:blush3: Thanks!

Girl you don't need to wear weaves LP. Your hair is gorgeous. I'm with your SO on this one honey.

When he came home I told him how I wasn't going to wear weaves anymore, and he was like OK. He's done more than one weave intervention on me before!! I hadn't hit rock bottom yet, lol. Not till that vinegar hit my eyeball did I hit rock bottom on this addiction.

I think that it is hard for anyone to have sympathy for your eyes b/c you're covering up your hair....

These broads are serious about hair, OMG, lol. I'm over here miserable and all they care about is me not showing my hair! What happened to Hide Your Hair Challenges and stuff????

 

[mscocoface]

LHCF Addiction Club at your service. I just had a serious run in like this in dealing with wigs. Guess how I stopped.....My hair would no longer fit under a whole wig. I have 5 beautiful wigs I need to now bless someone with. Parting is such sweet sorrow but it is for the best.

This next addiction is going to be the toughest because I still have my 3/4 wig and my extension hair for my twists. But I am dealing with it day by day and still doing the protective challenge.

You can do this chica! Hang in there. Sometimes you have to deal with it one minute at a time.

Even if the shingling doesn't work you can still find other ways to work with your natural hair.

 

[LadyPaniolo]

OK, here's a pic of my cornrow base. See how thick it is? It's really hard for me to get a flat weave because of how thick the braids end up... no matter how small I try to make them. ETA: which is why my hair got mildewy in the first place. I cannot get my hair to dry when it's under the weave! Hence today's vinegar incident.

And a pic of my hair in a puff looking crazy.

The one in the gray shirt is from this evening. I had DH upload it just now so that you all can see I took the weave out! Loose and free baby!

Thank you! I need all the support I can get in this fight. Are you sure your hair couldn't fit under a wig if you cornrowed it in the around the world pattern? I also cornrow my hair going straight back and then cross-wrap the dangling braids. Slap on a silk scarf and the wig fits like a dream! Here I go trying to lure you into backsliding,

ETA: I'm over here trying not to get in the car to go buy another wig at the BSS! Jesus take the wheel! We admitted we were powerless over false hair.... and that our lives had become unmanageable, lol

 

[Itllbeokbaby]

girl.....smh.....the second set of pics are pretty as well. especially that third pic. and you can't wear it out?.......smh.....(sigh)......all that pretty hair, hidden.

 

[KEWLKAT103]

:hardslap:
Sorry, I had to get that out of the way!

Now, good on you for stepping away from the fake hair.

I think the more you wear your hair out, the easier it will get for you. You have quite a crop to work with adn get used to, but with all that hair, you should make it fun!

It's hard to get used to wearing it out... weaves are such a crutch.

OMG!!!!! No you did NOT just pimpslap me! Do I deserve all this abuse? sniff
I know you mean well, though, right? Right? lol

I suppose I just need to learn how to do come styles. I don't even know how to do twists.

I kept telling DH once I get to APL, I'll stop. Then it was once I got to BSL, I'd stop. I only have an inch or so to go in the back to reach WL... it's now or never. I need some tutorials......

 

[HealthyHair2007]

Your hair looks awesome. I love the waves.

 

[Carrie A]

Thank you! I just don't really know how to style it.

You guys know I did just get VINEGAR in my EYES, right? lol I'm in here getting scolded, I thought I'd get at least a little sympathy! My eyes look like red M&M's right now!

I'm sorry I just don't get it, but there are natural hair sites with styling
sections.... like Nappturality for example. There are also many You Tube videos on styling natural hair without heat/with heat. The information is out there, it just takes practice, patience, and a little TLC to make it work.

I've been looking at Miss Jessie's style guides this evening... decided to try two strand twists... erplexed That mess is harder than it looks I just gave up and put it in 5 fat cornrows and tied it up in my silk scarf. I was getting way too frustrated.

I think tomorrow I'll use my Hairdini to make a ballerina bun, and tie a pretty silk ribbon around it. Pretty, but not frustrating enough to make me run to the BSS weave section. I'm just not used to wearing MY hair out.

It's all in fun! I lub you and your hair!
Ooh wee! Your hair would make some pretty twists because it's so thick!
It took me awhile to get the hang of doing them. I was like, how hard can this be
Trial and error and now I love them. I can wear them all week and then do a twist out on the weekends.

 

[R4L]

OMG. Your hair is FAB. You just need to find the right product to make the curls pop when it's dry.
