Ateeya's Update

[ceebee3]

You all really go hard on this board, I LOVE it!!

 

[hairsothick]

People get sick of being labeled a mean spirited hater for a simple difference of opinion. Ateeyaa is a whole different ball game because she has a cult following, many of her followers who don't know any better take her videos as seriously as Christians take the words of Christ.

You mean the same way some women on LHCF will see another member with seemingly beautiful hair rave about a product and then rush out and get it or start following their techniques to a tee?

Her reggie works for her. This setback was because of the mistake of not detangling. Had that not happened, her hair would probably be pretty even and touching on armpit length.

Also, yeah it's thin right now, but I thought everyone's hair is thinner than usual after a fresh bonestraight relaxer? A couple of days from now it will have body and look thicker.

I just don't see the point in making fun of someone's hair mishap.

I disagree. I think many people just don't get what the fuss is over her regimen. Is it the heat? A lot of members on here with healthy hair use heat. Is it her length? I think we all know health doesn't equal to long hair. Is it her relaxing process? The woman has stated in almost all of her videos that she does what works for HER and to follow what works for you. Now she had a setback from not detangling properly. Okay and? Many have suffered a setback. I don't get whats so special about hers. At the end of the day, its not cool to just talk down on a person when they have suffered something. IF you don't agree, then cool. It is a way of saying how you feel. To just say oh I knew it was gonna happen is kind of rude. I don't care how you defend it, it is rude. If you don't want to be labeled a hater, then don't possess the characteristics of one. Stating your opinion is one thing, to boast about you knew it was coming is another.

I would love to see this type of blunt honesty in hair threads on LHCF.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If she were a board member posting update photos, comments would be totally different. I have seen some JACKED ends and hairlines here and no one points them out. Ends so rough, they look like star fish tenticles but no one ever says anything but "You grow girl"

I agree, i didnt want to say any of my true feelings about her hair because i didnt want to get jumped on But w/e it is just a hair forum not high school

I never liked her hair to begin with, i always thought "Whats the big deal?"..To me before the "disaster" her hair was thin and chewed up, that hair style that she always wore was soo easy to camouflage her breakage And the way she took care of her hair made me cringe all that heat & protein! But ohh no, anytime i would try to express my opinon someone just has to say "Oh your a hater" or "Jealousy is a *****"

Quick question about the bold:

Isn't that what you're supposed to do when you have heat based regimen? When you use heat that breaks down your hair, aren't you supposed to fortify your hair with protein to help build it back up and keep breakage at bay?

I see many heat straightened naturals and relaxed heads doing the same thing on this forum. Yes she had considerable breakage and thinness which can be attributed to her hair matting and a fresh relaxer, but if it was such a "duh" moment then why are hair educated sisters on this forum making the same mistakes? I've seen more than a few posts on a similar type of setback

 

[Qualitee]

Im glad she got her hair back to normal and she is learning from her mistakes

Still dont understand why some people are arguing over someones elses regimen?
What Ateya does to her hair works for her. Regardless if its too this or not enough that. If you saw for hair before she statred her hair journey you would see what I mean. She came from a long way, just like many of us LHCFers.

Pretty much.
Like chronic over moisturization doesn't hurt the hair? Sorry but you can tell in some pics when someone has been over moisturizing.

She really did. She came a long way. Could she have possibly got there faster? Maybe, but that could be said about 80% of the members here, including myself, as well. You live and you learn.

Again, it's a matter of OPINION. I don't get what the big deal is either, we've all suffered set backs. Talking down? Rude? I think you're reachin' and again, that's MY OPINION. The only people I see getting their nose out of joint are those drinking the koolaid. To each their own.

"You grow girl" or "that's a lovely color" or "it's really thickening up" or "great shine" are all code for your hair ain't that cute but I want to give a mandatory positive.

You cannot tell folks the truth on the hair board. Folks go off on you for suggesting they do a search or providing links for them and not just telling them what to do.

And then when you do tell someone their hair doesn't look perfect they want to come back at you and insult you.

Nah. Forget telling the truth. Just tell people what they want to hear.

I bet you if Ateeya was a regular poster on LHCF she would have alot more love and support on here.

I don't even use heat a whole lot maybe 1x a month or every other month, but even so, I still have to use moderate to strong protein treatments every other wash. My hair is very prone to over-moisturization, especially when using glycerine or shea butter . This leads to all kinds of splits and my hair begins to stretch very easily and I'm natural. Everything doesn't work for everyone


Sidenote

Looking back at the video when she turns around to show her results, I just noticed that half of her hair is draped around her opposite shoulder. I initially thought "wow" at how much it had thinned but I was really paying attention. It's probably thicker than it looks

Well some people don't seem to have any problem stating the "truth" about Ateyaa's hair. Why are the members of this board exempt?

 

[Qualitee]

I watch all of Ateya videos and from what my understanding is she has very thick strands.

OMG, I fell out the chair just now.

 

[imaccami]

The thinness is due to the weave IMO. I've seen videos where her hair was thick with nice volume, so it's not that her hair is naturally thin. I've never had a weave in my life but I've read a lot of threads here where people say that weaves have killed their hair, made it thin, and destroyed their hairline.

I think that if she leaves weaves and supertight braids alone, she can get her thickness and length back.

It seems like this cycle she's going through is the cycle that brings most people here to LHCF. Weave->major breakage->trim to even up->weave again->more breakage->trim->repeat cycle until at ear length->google search->LHCF->happiness.

How is that rude? What if I DID know some kind of setback was going to happen due to what I may have seen as consistent bad hair practices? Maybe I didn't know it would be from a common detangling mishap (which is so unfortunate) but still. . .

I like her a lot. I'm one of her subscribers. I think she's hot. HOWEVER, her HAIR was never special to me. That doesn't make me a damn hater lol. Her hair was str8 and I'm sure it will grow back str8. It takes a lot to put that on the net (whether she cried the night before or not). I know I couldn't do it.

But let's be real: if you're already relaxed, use a CHI flat iron, sit under a hooded dryer, a FHI blowdryer, then put on some Silk Infusion and wrap your hair overnight (ALL of which Ateyaaa does to get that result) and your hair STILL doesn't have that swang, maybe swanging just ain't for you Bottom line. That's why it's always been average to me.

There is nothing wrong with a person thinking her hair is average. That is your opinion. I guess i just see the whole saying I knew it was going to happen like you were waiting for someone to fail or something. I truly don't understand what her regi has to do with this. Yes, she uses a lot of heat, but her hair was thick, growing, and even. That may not be healthy to some, i get it. Thats fine. Just walking in talking about yep, I knew it is just mean to me. But everyone doesn't agree.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've noticed that people on this board seem to have a hard time when others have dissenting opinions. Sometimes it's easier to just keep your mouth shut than to have to worry about some sensitive chick's feelings.

So you knew for a FACT that she was going to have a setback? Interesting.

The bolded:

That could be changed to address naturals who stay trying to get their curls poppin with every cream, conditioner, diffuser, and whatever else they think might help.

Or those trying to achieve shine or thickness, etc.

Swang, curl poppin, and blingin shine ain't for everybody. If we can understand that, then why can't we also understand that the same goes for regimens. What works for one may not work for another.

I think the 'swagg' has alot to do with the way her hair is trimmed/cut.

Ateeya has tough skin so the negative comments about hair doesnt bother her.
