I want long hair because I want to be in the minority. I want something coveted by many. I want to feel special than most. I want to stand out....I want long hair to make me feel superior.

*Exits Thread*
 
I'm loving my hair and have a secret competition going with other black girls at work.... :look: :sekret:
There's a colleague who could have really beautiful hair but her hair practices are whack - weaves and braids that last up to 6 months (not exaggerating here!) and look so awfully horrible and matted at the 6-8th week till takedown. Edges all jacked up due to traction.... See, she laughed at me when I BCed last year. My hair is now the length of hers at SL. She recently relaxed again and her hair looks thinner than usual. Can't wait to unleash a banging do at APL soon to suprise the hell out of her.....

Another claims to be a natural and is always wearing weaves (to save on stylist bills). Again, her hair practices leave a lot to be desired. We were talking hair the other day and she said she washes like once a month, doesn't condition (as no one sees it) and has to blowdry and press as she can't stand kinks. Yet she wonders why her hair's shorter than when she started weaves (she had fab, thick, post SL hair) I mean, all that PC for nothing girl????? At least she acknowledged my twists looked good though, and asked me what I do. Too bad she thought she had better things to do than spend time on hair :drunk::drunk::drunk:

Another wants to go natural, and has beautiful, thick hair that would look great looked after some more - she does try though and does a good job, even though she pays for all her hair needs. I mean, this girl would grow to BSL so fast if she were to retain most and not retouch and trim every 6 weeks - her hair grows so fast, plus she's short... She cut it into a short, funky style early this year, she's already at SL now!!! I secretly want to reach BSL before she BCs so she doesn't overtake me with her fast growing hair :lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
I confess....

...I'm almost 9 months into my transition and really want to BC, but I'm afraid of what my bosses will think. I hold a pretty high position and I think about whether they'll see me in the same light. :perplexed

...Another reason I haven't BC'd yet is because my camera is broken and I say to myself "well you HAVE to take pics to post on LHCF!".

... As soon as I get in the car after work, I take my bun down do I can feel my curls/coils all the way home.
 
I spent 150 bucks of my scholarship money
on hair products.
:look:
And I just spent another 41.00 on afroveda products.
Some how I'm not even upset.. 'cause my hair is thriving....

LOL.... I know, I know I could be saving that money...
BUT.... hey my purchases are helping the economy... and
I'm sure LHCF ladies and their many purchases will help us out of this recession
:)
 
The first two days after I did my BC, I wore a half wig because I was so afraid of what people might think. I also had a problem where it was difficult for me to look in the mirror for maybe a week after. This has nothing to do with texture, just length.
 
Confessions;

1. I've been a heat straightened natural for a while and if you'd have told me I'd be the "natural" I'd NEVER believe you.. i don't even know if this is my hair texture or if its heat damaged because i was getting hard presses with no heat protection every 7-14 days for over a year.. i didn't even care about the hair on my head before June of this year because it was thick and coarse and a pain.. but I've started this "Love thyself" thing and that means all of me... including my wavy kinky coils which =)

2. im a junior pj i have products hidden in my underwear drawer *puts head down in shame*
 
I confess that I wish that I could have taken the length from my relaxed hair and just magically transformed it to natural so I wouldn't have had to cut.

I confess I don't regret B.Cing because I love my hair...just miss the length...

I confess it was super annoying (and still is) to have people constantly stare at my hair/touch it/try to figure out the texture.
 
Whenever I see a relaxed head eyeballing my tightly shrunken curls, I twirl a section around my finger and lightly pull it to show how long it REALLY is. I know its vain, but I get so little opportunity for fun.
 
I confess that I still believe in good hair vs bad hair. Ignorance...Baslphemy...So what shoot me. But I find kinky coily taco meat looking hair unattractive. My ex boyfriend had that type.... so friggin coily. It just looks dirty to me....attracts lint...maybe he was just dirty haha :yup: Anyway, I convinced him that he looks best with a close fade but never told him why. I feel bad...but it just looks...ghetto...to me.... Sorry. I like my looser curls (4a) even though it's nowhere close to 3a or b.

I stopped helping people except my best friends. When people ask me why my hair is growing...I tell them that I wash and condition it... that's it.

I wear my hair down just to show off to white people. *shrugs* They think medium length and healthy black hair is just amazing. Like it's a miracle. They told me that's bonafide good black people hair, and sadly I felt happy despite their ignorance.
 
I had low self esteem when I first joined this site 2 years ago. It is still not as high as I would wish...but it is so much higher since my hair is longer now. It really frames my head now and you can see my cute cheekbones and eyes more more clearly. It's bolder or something.....I just stand in the mirror now. It's not cuz I'm an AKA. It's cuz my hair made me realize how durn FIONE I was!

i confess:
I dont really do as much as I should hairwise. im suprised im not bald. I'm not good at keeping a good schedule. I've never been consistent

I confess I look @ ppl's reggies on here & cant believe how much time is spent on hair. I mean some of u get great results but I cant evn fathom spending that much time on my hair

I confess that for the past 3 days I've put off washing my hair. I'm supposed to wash atleast twice a week and I havnt done it this week:nono:

I confess that I hate when I see a guy with more hair then me. They have those locs or twists or huge a$$ screen blocking afros and I think to myself "you know what I could do with all that f**king hair?!"
 
U sho'll know how to party. Pass me da chicken & the sauce cuz I have a feeling that statement is gonna set it off. I think it was the taco meat description that made my jaw drop. Imma stfu, eat this chicken & watch.

What is with people feeling the need lately to confess how much they dislike type 4 hair? Seriously.

It's funny how folks feel so free to insult whole groups of people. Especially when they...

Nevermind.

Oh and sorry to break it to you but 4a hair ain't "good" hair. I don't know if you forgot or are just delusional but you aren't doing any better than the folks with "kinky coily taco meat hair".

...yeah, I was holding it together, until I read "taco meat". :dead:
But I guess if we're gonna tell it, then tell it all..

I do agree with her about like..how the length of hair is directly proportional to her self-esteem though. When my hair was at its shortest (top of EL), I felt so ugly all the time. With my hair longer, I wouldn't call myself fione, but I definitely feel cuter. And I already know that when I hit BSL+, I'm gonna be a hot mess. Ain't nobody gonna be able to tell me nothing. :blondboob

Well lemme correct that. I don't think any hair is better than another per se. Hair is hair. There are all different types. Red, blue, black brown, straight, wavy, curly, coily, BUT "TO ME" very coily hair is unattractive.

You just said you believe in good vs. bad hair...and that you were happy when white people told you that you have "bonafide good black people hair". (I've quoted it just in case you forgot.) Clearly you think some hair is better.

:lachen:Um, that is the type of hair you have. 4a hair, by definition, is very coily.

I want to say more...but I won't.
 
*singing Usher* these are my confessions just when I thought I said all I could say...

My confession is that e'rynite b4 bed I look at my hairpirations & meditate on how I will feel with my hair at those lengths. I touch the spots on my body I wanna be able to stretch it down to.

Since coming to this site, I have posted many times that I have been feeling some kinda way when I see a head full of healthy afro-textured hair. When I see swang or big fro's I wanna find a nice young man to make those hair feelings go away.

Maybe later I'll come and give you part 2 of my confessions. But its 3:20AM, I just got home from the movies & I'm tired. Nite nite.
 
I confess that when I'm listening to my ipod, I make up little hair scenarios in my head pertaining to the song.....

For example, if its a song about a dude apologizing, Ill imagine me and my SO had a fight and he's begging, trying to get me to stay...... while Im stomping around the house packing, my BSL hair is SWANGING!!!!!!!! :giggle:

I confess...

- That I really really hanker after length.... which I have never ever had (longest I have ever been a bit past SL)
- That I really feel bad when I see my hair relaxed hair wet.... it just emphasizes how fine it is
- That I find healthy moisturized natural heads (ALL hair types) extremely beautiful and that I am really trying to get to the point where I go natural as well.... I have been relaxed most of my life and it does take a while to get to the point of being 'ready'... but I think I am almost there
 
I confess that whenever I'm on the bus or the train or just walking down the street and I see a woman with unhealthy looking hair I wonder how many broken hairs were in her comb this morning when she combed her hair.

I confess that I'm on this site waaaaay more than I should be...lol

I confess that I want someone to come up to me and ask me if I'm Nikos' cousin...LOL

I confess that I think Natural hair is the most beautiful hair
