My Hair Confessional

⏳ Limited Access:

Gee Love, Esq. 2B, stop instigating. It's that stuff which gets people all excited and then they start acting foolish.

It's a confessional. She was being honest. And now she's done with it, so leave her be for now.

And yeah, I know I'm late. :look:

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".

I think a lot more people dislike type 4 hair than we think. I don't mean people as in the general population. I mean people right here on this board and other hair boards.

But people will continue to talk about others/insult groups of people. Fat, skinny, white, black, asian, geeks, and now hair. But we know better than to give the words of others power, so we KIM.
 
Although I LOVE natural hair (any texture 1,2,3,4...... a, b, or zz) I HATE DREAD LOCKS………especially on women. Most locks that I seen in real life just look unkempt, rough, dusty, and unclean. Most women I’ve seen with dreads don’t look feminine. I'm talking about the heads I SEEN, so but stone me.
 
confess: i know for a fact that i can maintain apl/bsl using heat once or twice a week, and barely deep conditioning. i kind of feel myself falling back into old habits. sometimes i feel like going back to my old ways completely, because i get frustrated with trying to find my holy grails. i have to admit though, i love how easy it is to detangle my hair since i've been on this forum. :look:

You're right people on this board have said that if they had type 4 hair they wouldn't have gone natural and that 4z hair isn't cute.

I'll confess although the good hair bad hair thing irsk my nerves, people aren't going to change. It's hundreds of years and people still feel this way. I'll just try to ignore the ignorance.:yep:
 
i confess: i am gorgeous when i have long hair. when i start maintaining apl or bsl, nobody will be able to tell me anything. my confidence will be at 100% again.

i confess: i hate short hair on me. i'm never cutting my hair shorter that apl again. the only way it will be so short is if my head catch on fire like MJ.
 
Confession: I'll never cut my hair short again. The interim is just torture. It looks weird curly and straight :perplexed.

I'd rather be a salon girl now that I've found a good stylist. I'm not fond of doing hair anymore.
 
*walks in with a head full of type 4 "taco meat"*


**high fives MSA**


**leaves thread with a :nono:**
 
Looks like this is an "unpopular hair opinions" thread and not a confessions thread...

I got some unpopular opinions, but I'll refrain from posting them cause they ain't just about hair.
 
I confess:

I try to imagine how my natural hair will look like @ SL - APL in a twistout.... in pixie braids... :lick: Unfortunately I have months (possibly years) to go before I can see the reality.

Until then I'll rock these styles as a transitioner.

I try to find hair twins to see how their hair looks at my goal end of transition length to see if I can have fun with my hair...
 
I can not wait until my hair is past one of my bff's. her hair has been the same length forever probably about armpit and i think she does a good job of maintaining it rarely uses heat except when she goes to get it done every week. i think her hairdresser probably trims it way to often b/c when she cuts it in a bob it grows back in no time. maybe she will give up her stylist after mine passes hers. i hope so.

4b taco meat checking in.

Mummy, I do the same thing! I stay imagining my hair like this, like that. Then I have to stop because I get impatient for it to grow out.

When I first BC'ed, I thought EVERYONE was my hair twin. :lol: So many gorgeous possibilities! :love:
 
If you guys cannot come in here and NOT post about taco meat, knowing full well someone is going to take it to the next level, then don't post and KIM. Be mature about it. It's small things like that that blow up and get threads clanked.

Don't do it here.

Thanks.

I'm not there yet, but I'm wondering what it'll be like. When I see women with short curly hair, they're usually older women, so it makes me wonder if I'll look older to. I think curly hair makes people look more youthful, though. :yep:
 
My confessions:
  • I wish my hair curl was tighter. I love twists and twistouts on tighter curls.
  • I love my dd2's hair. It is the tighter curl I love. I am intrigued as I watch it grow. I can't wait to see how it emerges over time.
  • I check out all the youtubers, fotki's and threads pertaining to type 4 hair. I usually lurk but I'm learning so much about a texture that is different from mine.
  • I want to learn how to cornrow.

I see a lot of weedheads with dreads that you just KNOW formed because their nasty a$$es were too busy smoking to wash their hair. They look so disgusting!

My old math teacher had dreads and she was beautiful. I think if they were smaller, they would've suited her small face a lot better. :yep:

But well kept dreads look very nice!
 
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.

AWW BOO HOO:cry:!!! People need to stop being so sensitive to these types of comments. I could care less who HATES my hair texture. I love it and thats all that matters. As long as we're imperfect, people are going to have their own opinions that dislike another person and their characterics based on something that is out of their control. I can't control how my hair GROWS out of my scalp anymore than I could control being born w/this brown skin color.

I'll tell others who are "crying" over posts like this the same thing I tell my 5 year old- Press your ignore button and keep it moving! I don't literally mean you have to ignore posters(:imstupid: )like these but you have to ignore what people say! 4B-CNAPP TEXTURE AND PROUD OF IT!:afropick:
 
i confess i think i'm a little too scared of heat
my desire for straight hair is waning
i dont like the extra attention i get when my hair is straight (mostly)

i look at products i can never have waaay too much (price and from US)

since joining this board i just love fros, i also love seeing kids natural. never cared before.
 
Confession.

I am completely okay with the majority not loving how I look. It gives me that extra oomph, that character that gets me noticed in a crowd. I was made with these features and I will embrace them with all my might. When I "rock" my fro ... [I say "rock" because it seems as if that hairstyle is a person within itself] I feel HONORED to be able to walk around with it :afro:

I love being dark skinned and I love being natural. Most women wont "get" my look and will sleep thinking I’m not a threat... and that's just the way I like it :grin:

Instigating actually has quite the opposite effect around here. When you call it out before it happens, rarely does it go as far as it would have. Instead, we should be thanked. :yep:
 
I confess that I love being the biggest baddest fro in the room (not terribly difficult in Scottsdale, but still) At 5'8" I tend to stand out a bit anyway - you pop a fro on top of that and I'm a skyscraper. :lachen:

I see people looking and I shake my hair a little extra for them. :grin: I will check out the corner of my eye to see if people are staring. They are.

I love how my hair makes me stand out. Yeah - I was cute with straight hair, cute with a long shiny weave, "glam" and all that, but straight up - I'mma baaaaaaaaaaad ***** with my natural hair. I feel like I could be wearing a sack and KILL IT based on hair alone. :look:

Sometimes I just daydream about all the different styles I can/will do. I can spend a good hour or two

I know it's wrong, but when I see people with dried up unkempt looking relaxed hair I make a point to touch my hair (see how soft), shake it a little (It mooooooves!) and I hope they see it and it encourages them to try a new way. And if they hatin I hope sour salty bile chokes em out. :yawn::lachen:

Even though I haven't been buying any products lately (happy with what I have) I can't help but check out the hair aisle and read bottles. I'm nosy.

:rofl: When I was a little girl I had hair that was MBL. I knew it was long, but nobody else did. And when I said so I know they looked like :rolleyes: I never recognized how pretty it was so I ran around with a towel on my head wishing I had long pretty shiny hair that hung like all the little white and puerto rican girls in my class....

Nowadays the only hair I want is MINE.

I wish this hair board had a groan button.

I would never had dreamed that going natural would help me retain so much length. I'm 20 months post relaxer and the back is already apl. Yay! I reached apl while relaxed and now I reached it as natural.

Screw it...

-Most black women with straightened hair do not look great to me. I can appreciate straighter natural textures on other races, it looks pretty. On black women it just looks bad for the most part. The heads i've seen at least.

-I think natural hair is inherently better than chemicalized hair.

-Whenever i see a relaxed head, i think to myself that the person would look sooooo much better with her natural texture.

-I chuckle inside when i see black women donning horrible weaves and chewed up thin straight hair

-I'm more inclined to attribute ghetto-trashiness to black women who wear bad weaves and don thin chewed-up straight hair.

No, a lot of Rastas let their hair loc up naturally because that is their definitition of "real" locks. Many of them believe that locks that are formed with beeswax etc are artificial.
 
I give up on this hair thing.

"Taco meat"... although that's what's growing out of your own head

"you prefer European beauty standards"... although you worship kim kardashian

"Jay-Z looks unkempt"... although he's rockin' a TWA like many women here

"so sad you don't love yourself"... although you are probably projecting

"I'm so glad I'm a type 3"... although you are a type 4 w/ heat damage

"i'm a type 4, see my really nappy hair right here in the back, aren't I so brave & down w/the struggle & new"... although you are a type 3 w/ heat damage

"all healthy hair is good hair"... although you always in the BSL type 3
threads and I ain't ever seen you in anyone else's thread

"locs look dirty/unkempt..." although your relaxed or loose natural hair ain't looking or feeling any cleaner

"why are you trying to use a comb its the tool of YT anyway" ... although you've never been seen without your Pantene & Joico

"I'm so informed and natural and anti-beauty standards"... although you pressed & curled & swangin' 11 months out of 12

"Why can't we all just get along"... although in the next sentence you're saying how much better relaxed/natural hair is than the other

"We're no different than YT or anyone else, we have no unique hair problems"... when CLEARLY we do.

I give up! :wallbash:
