Ateeya's Update

[hairsothick]

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

Sarcasm?

 

[GeorgiaCutie]

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.

No, I think a lot of people have a hard time with people who are rude.Some people just don't know how to state their opinions without coming off as being rude or insulting others while doing so.

Sarcasm?

No She doesnt care

 

[TCatt86]

If the term "hater" gets used in this thread one more time, i'm going to slit my wrists

Well get ready because you know it's going to happen. Do you have some hair products you want to leave me?

 

[MissNina]

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.

Well, obviously I'm not GOD and I didn't know it for an absolute fact. But one thing I did learn in school is how to infer conclusions. I'm not blind and I know what I saw and I figured, eventually down the line, something was not gonna be right. And I'm a heat user so it's not even about that. I love my Chi boo

And the bolded - I'm applying that to Ateyaaa. Her regimen obviously wasn't working for her either! Pleaaaase let's not play the game. Don't act like you didn't see her hair getting thinner and thinner and her length wasn't really improving . .Come on now, don't call me Stevie. I know what I saw.

 

[hairsothick]

No She doesnt care

Lol. Ateyaa is a soldier. I guess she can take it.

"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.

*Checks old progress threads* Oh snaaaaa-

Oh well

The searching thing KILLS me.

The thing is, not talking about the truth is what leads to many hair myths. We all know the typical hair myths but hairboards get their own myths going because no one wants to be honest. I am just confused as to why instead of saying "Yeah Ateeya, you grow girl", people let loose BUT if this was a board member, the whole entire conversation would be different.

No. Actually I didn't.

 

[gymfreak336]

Kinda like the first picture in my siggy, huh??

Ok, I can go to bed now ...

Your ends don't look bad in your first pic. Hang out a little longer, you will see EXACTLY what I am talking about. I am talking 2-5 inch differences.

 

[msa]

Didn't you say Ateyaa was a member? She might lurk and see these comments. Does she not have feelings?

She is a person and therefore yes, I'm sure she has feelings.

Like I said, I can't speak for anyone else. I haven't made any "mean" comments about her hair (or anyone else's for that matter).

All I know is with other members if you say something that's not explicitly encouraging folks will jump on your back for not being supportive, or forgetting where you came from, or tell you your head is busted. That's just too much for me.

No, I think a lot of people have a hard time with people who are rude.Some people just don't know how to state their opinions without coming off as being rude or insulting others while doing so.

The thing is, everyone has a different opinion of what rude and insulting means.

I don't think saying "IMO Ateya's hair is unhealthy and I didn't like it before the setback and I don't like it now" is rude or insulting. It's just that person's truth. Obviously everyone doesn't agree or this thread wouldn't be so wrong.

 

[Mortons]

How are people being rude by stating the opinion that her hair was not all that and a bag of chips? Really? I guess I know why some people have messed up hair on here now and people wont say anything to them.

I get what you are saying but before the setback I didnt see her hair getting thinner and thinner. I think tiffers started a thread about 'when your hair is growing it can appear thinner but its really not'. Its because alot of the longer hair isnt the same length as the shorter hair making your hair appear thin. Plus in the video today she just relaxed her hair. So setback or not her hair would have looked thin anyway.

 

[MissNina]

No. Actually I didn't.

Well, the human mind often conditions itself to see what it wants to . . .so that's okay. But pls believe I would not lie on the girl. I give her major props on everything else (skin, attitude, make-up, etc.) so to give her praise on her hair would be nothing.

And she IS the Beyonce of hair boards. . .whoever said that. . .WIN

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Why you hating on the ppl using the word hater? HATER!!!!

The end is nigh

Well get ready because you know it's going to happen. Do you have some hair products you want to leave me?

Thanks for the love Tcatt! I know I can always count on you to talk me down from the ledge

 

[msa]

*Checks old progress threads* Oh snaaaaa-

Oh well

Well now you know how folks really feel LOL. You already know how I feel about your hair!

The searching thing KILLS me.

Oh my Lawd the hair board hair myths KILL ME. But every time people try to clear them up with hard facts no one wants to hear it.

Her hair doesn't look thin to me in either one of those. But I guess.

 

[spinspinshuga]

I don't know much about Ateeya, and from the videos I've seen of her (even before the setback,) I honestly never found her hair to be terribly impressive. However, one or two of the comments in the other thread did bother me. Some people seemed smugly satisfied that she had experienced a setback, and that seemed disturbing. I might have misinterpreted some people's perspectives regarding the matter, but a couple of the comments just seemed nasty. I don't think anyone is a "hater," (I despise that overused, abused term,) but I do think some people felt she deserved to lose that matted clump and were satisfied that she did.

Okay. That's cool. I guess my name is Stevie then b/c that ish was BLATANTLY obvious. . .like Neon-sign-in-the-middle-of-midnight obvious. . .Rihanna's-big-forehead obvious. . .and I didn't see any length additions along with it to justify it.

 

[msa]

Wait wait wait...y'all really didn't see how thin her hair was getting over time? Or how sparse her hairline was/is?

Really really really?

 

[hairsothick]

Well, the human mind often conditions itself to see what it wants to

I learned that a long time ago. And I see that you have conditioned yourself into believing that her hair was thin before while I think the opposite.

Oh well, it's not that serious.

 

[gymfreak336]

The Ateeya threads always bring out everyones real feelings LMAO

Good times Good times

I feel you gym.

But if a member posts progress pics and the ends are really thin, do you think people should suggest that they get a trim?

Ok looking at atteeya's old video her hair had body to it and I thought it looked healthy, I guess the this setback plus she just got a freah perm made her hair look a little thin.

I never kept up with her so I dont know what her regimen was.

Agreed with the whole post, especially the bolded.

 

[Qualitee]

So everyone hair grows in the same length at the same time?OK

Good times Good times

Ateeya threads are always entertaining.

I'm still wondering the same thing, and I'm a fan of Tee Tee! I don't think some people here know what rude means.

She has said over and over again that she is more concerned with health than length. She trimmed often so I don't think the length was that important to her.

And I have seen some long hair that is nothing to rave about so length doesn't necessarily justify anything.

I think before recommending anything, we should all anaylze what we are doing and why. There are some common hair evils that we all know but sometimes, the execution of the "good" things is what is messing our hair up in the first place.

The ends I am talking about need to be cut. Thats it. Cut the bad boys and KIM. No one ever wants to say that though since scissors are supposed to be evil.

Okay my question is if somebody thinks her hair is unhealthy and they don't like it then why would they feel the need to post in every single thread made about her and post over and over how they don't like her hair and her "bad hair practices".You said it was much easier for you to pass over threads than to hurt sensitive chicks feelings,but I guess Ateyaa doesn't apply.Oh yeah I forgot she isn't a member so you can say what you really think about her hair and lie to members about theirs.
