Wow, the results of her setback reminds me of how mine looked. Mine wasn't caused by weaves (I'm not a fan), it was due to possible over processing and neglecting my hair for over a month... I was an inch from BSL in some areas and shoulder length in others.

I decided to trim/cut mine but I totally understand why she's not cutting yet... especially cos her hair will be hidden away.

Such a positive attitude, I was depressed after my setback. I didn't update my fotki until after I'd gotten my cut... she did a video with very detailed pics! Wow... I am impressed.

She's such a positive person, and she really is a trooper. My last weave in January of 2008 (I've only had two my entire life), didn't turn out so well. I was allergic to the hair that was braided into my hair. My husband washed my hair w/ tea-tree shampoo to ease the itching, but that didn't help much. I was up from about 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. taking it out. The braided hair was really tangled with my real hair in the front. I ended up having to cut my real hair in the front just to get the braided hair out. Because I wear my hair in twist-outs, it was easy to blend the shorter hair in.

At least her shorter part is in the back. Her hair will grow back before she knows it and she'll reach her goal length.
 
Dang I guess I didn't read the whole other thread on her... but I did see this comment.

contraviv (1 hour ago) Show Hide 0 Marked as spam Reply | Spam It looks great! We all have setbacks, I'm glad that you are so positive! To all you haters on LHCF, she still has that SWANG!

I thought most of the posts were supportive...

Yeah it got a bit ugly towards the end. Got clanked as usual
 
I love her positive attitude. And her eye shadow!!

ETA: I made the same mistake years ago - took out braids and washed them before detangling! I cried a river of tears. I thought I was going to lose all my hair. I thought with the Creme of Nature being such a moisturising shampoo, I wouldn't have to detangle. Lost a lot of hair, but never made that mistake again.
I'm glad she's so upbeat about it, and even though I'm natural, I actually enjoy her videos. She's got really beautiful hair - even now with some of it broken/chopped off.

She looks good. I do like the greenish eyeshadow. She would have been a nice apl. She could be fine if no more step backs occur by the end of the year.

It's funny that you say that because CON always made my hair feel stripped/dry and tangle something fierce. I haven't had CON used on my hair since I was in maybe middle school. There was another shampoo my stylist was using by KeraCare that did the same thing. IDK what it is.
 
Seems like she was making good progress. Glad to see that she's in good spirits, she'll definitely bounce back.


Can someone please tell me why you shouldn't get a relaxer the day after a sew in? I've done it a couple days after a sew in take down so I'd like to know why this is a no no for future reference. Thanks!


I guess it must depend on the hair. When I was wearing weaves I've gotten relaxers right after the weave (and braids for that matter). I've never had a problem, but I think it depends on what shape your hair is in.
 
I'm so mad that even with the set back, her hair is STILL longer than mine. LOL.

You go Ateya.
 
Can't see youtube at work...but this is good news to hear! She has such a positive and upbeat attitude! Can't wait to see it today when I get home.
 
I love her spirit, she is so positive and I applaud her for showing her setback, we all have them and she shows you just have to remain positive, her hair will be back in no time.
 
It is a hair journey and we all have ups and downs in the end it is hair. She is a trooper and I admire her spirit and being out there.

Glad she is taking it and dealing with it positively.
 
I thought her hair looked a little thin. She definitely needs to give it some TLC. I'm glad she's back and didn't loose too much hair! yeah!

Hm that's strange. I used to use CON many, many years ago as a teenager, and my hair loved it. But years later, every time I tried to return to it, it would work really well for three washes, and after that it would start making my hair feel funny. I also used to use KeraCare moisturising shampoo, and my hair loved that too - ist that the one you are talking about? I've stopped using that as well, though. I've yet to find a shampoo I could stick too. :ohwell:
 
Her hair looks good, I felt so sad for her when i saw the big "W" in the back. But I have noticed from watching her videos that she is more concerned with health and swang than she is with length, so I am sure she is not that upset. It will grow back in a few months.
