I think taco meat is delicious! I love chalupas and tacos! Yum, 4B hair, yummm. :lick:


:look:
 
My confession:

1. Even though I'm severly anemic, I take my iron supplements and other vitamins ONLY because I'm worried what effect the anemia will have on my HAIR! (That is so pitiful!) I really don't consider the benefit to the rest of my body.

2. After my husband moved out/divorce, one of the things I loved the most was that I didn't have to listen to his comments about me being on "that hair site again" and I could do my hair whenever I wanted to and didn't have him peeking over my shoulder or making some comment about it.

3. I love that my current boyfriend loves my hair and the way I take care of it, but I'm going to need him to stop touching and feeling my hair all the time because I'm afraid he's going to cause breakage!

:lachen: I wasn't gonna say anything but as soon as I saw taco meat I wanted a chalupa....im glad someone had the balls to say it.

I thought I had "taco meat" hair until my friend who is the resident black hair care expert at my college told me that my hair isn't nappy, I just have really tightly coiled curls and that because I wasn't using the right products that it was easy for them to knot up. I look at my hair now and know that shes completely right. I never knew how to do my hair before and now that I have stables in my haircare barney bag, I can really see the difference in my hair




Back to the original thread...
My confession is:
Despite my new found love of my hair, I want to buy another wig. Baby steps ladies...baby steps:lachen:
 
I want a wig, if only for the thrill of being someone else for a night.

But then I know it'd get out of hand way too quickly. You buy one and then you have to buy another and I don't have the money or space. And no one I know of cares for wigs. They all hate them. :lol:
 
I confess, that I can't stop perming my hair. I know that it's bad for me, that it will keep my hair at around SL, that I prefer long natural hair, that my super fine hair and relaxer don't agree, that after 1 week of relaxing I regret it again, but it's a sickness. I make it to about 4 months of transitioning, then like a robot, I perm. I should just cut it all off and have a twa again.

I confess that I'm terrified of the growing out process of a twa, but can't transition for the life of me.

I confess that I wish I never got into the idea of having long hair, I was super happy when I cut it and kept a fade, or didn't care about tangles and wore a washngo everyday.
 
I like to talk hair politics on here but I've long realized that most people in IRL are rarely paying attention to your hair unless it looks exceptionally beautiful or exceptionally awful...
 
Ok, this is real confession..

I tend to give folks the :rolleyes: who are very biased against 4ish hair and aren't very attractive. Having relaxed hair or long hair doesn't negate being hurt in the face, lets put these things in perspective.

I know, that's wrong :perplexed

But that's the HAIR they don't think is attractive. Not necessarily someone's FACE. But I have seen some people comment that people look "prettier with natural hair." So maybe they are talking about the same thing. Huh.

I swear, I'm the last to notice anything, man.

For the most part, I'm the same way. I appreciate the extra energy but I really became consistent with taking iron and getting it through food when I realised it could be affecting my hair. I don't even care if that's "pitiful" to some people.

I hear you, not sayin my feelings are that logical or well thought out, just my natural reaction.

ETA: I do think certain comments extend beyond hair alone tho..
 
Despite being on here and KNOWING that Black hair can grow long, I still think, at times, that my hair will never be longer than SL. I just satisfy myself by thinking, "Well, at least it'll be really healthy SL hair."

Hate to admit it, but when (trying to be positive) my hair is long, I really want someone to come up to me on some ignorant BS (you must be mixed/that must be a weave) just so I can correct them. I like being right.

When my hair is long, I will occasionally take my hair down and play with, possibly even give myself a scalp massage just so anyone who thinks I have a weave will be shut down. Yeah, I'm vain.

I really don't understand what texture makes a BAA. My brother has one, and I assume if his hair was moisturized he'd have type 3 hair, but I've never seen anyone with type 3 hair with an afro. BAA confuse me. I mean, I can't even make my hair look like it did when I had TWA anymore. I shouldn't be natural and perplexed over afros. HOW DO THEY WORK???

I can not braid for the life of me. I just now learned how to do a three strand twist, so that takes me to three strand braids and twists. I can not cornrow, flat twist, or french braid. Watching videos of it confuse me. My hair always looks like caca after I attempt them. So, I plan to do more "White" style braids when I have long hair because I can actually understand them.

If my hair grew not only to floor length but was also trailing 20 feet behind me... I still wouldn't cut it.

:look:....does anyone get what's amusing? I sure don't...

I apologize for throwing this thread offtopic. This is my last offtopic post I swear OP!

What I find amusing is that some people have no better things to do than to instigate a harmless but maybe unpopular opinion. You might not agree, but it's just an opinion. Instead of just dropping it and letting the thread go continue, they badger a topic in hopes to start drama even when they can clearly see the OP of the post is not going to entertain.

And then blame the statement on ignorance but if so they throw ignorance back by stooping to "ignorance's" level and trying to throw low blows about physical appearance. lol What does that have to do with the original intent of this thread? These are "hair confessions" right?

Lord I'm glad that I have my head in the right place. Who gives a flip what someone has to say about my hair, clothes, skin, or appearance as long as it is acceptable and beautiful to ME. Anyone else can kick rocks.

I feel the same about my statement. WTF cares what I don't like. What matters is how YOU feel about YOUR appearance. You the one rockin it, not the person who made the statement. Hell, you can't please everyone.
 
SK - you may be talking to a few folks in your post, but I just wanted to say that I wasn't addressing you in particular with my confession - there are many people on here who have made disparaging comments about certain hair textures in the past.

Very uncalled for...:perplexed

I confess that I love my hair texture and would not want it any tighter or looser.

I confess that I love being right behind a beautiful natural hair in a long line. I went to the post office today and I could not help but stare at a natural head w/beautiful highlights.

I confess that I am disappointed when I give people hair advice and they feel that it won't work for them b/c they don't have a certain type of texture.

I confess that it really gets on my nerves when people chastise others about what they choose to do with their hair.

I confess that I get angry when people ask me if I have a spiral/roller set....like b/c I'm not mixed I cannot have naturally coily/curly hair.

You ain't never lied. I LOVE seeing the natural heads around me on campus. It's becoming a lot more prevalent and even though it's not me, I feel so proud for them taking the initiative and caring for their natural locks and daring to be different cuz many don't do that in my area of Mississippi.

If that's what you consider the right place, then I'd rather be wrong.

For the record, as others have said, it's not that people care that you dislike coily hair, the problem was that you insulted those with coily hair. That was the part that was uncalled for, especially when almost all the people on this board have coily hair.
 
I confess that on Wednesday, for the first time in over eight years, I washed, deep conditioned, blow dried and flat ironed my hair, and it turned out REALLY well. I have FINALLY broken my salon addiction.

I confess that I will likely NOT go natural until I get older because I am one of those people that doesn't have an issue with relaxing my hair. My issues were always related to lack of moisture and not doing protective styling. My natural texture is 3c/4a and while I'm sure it would be pretty, I like my hair straight with layers.

I confess that while I miss my stylist, I don't miss paying him $55 every other week plus tip. However, he will be doing my touch ups and trims.

What was the insult, taco meat? It's only an insult when you give power to it.

I'm sure there are many who find taco meat pleasing to the eye, despite popular opinion. We all know how I feel about taco meat. :lick: :yep:
 
You know, the only time this so-called "taco meat" hair bothers me is when it's growing on some dudes face or on his chest, but I have a weird aversion to facial and body hair to begin with. I don't think I've ever seen hair on someone's head that resembled taco meat. That's a new one.

But... um... yuck. I keep thinking about Taco Bell tacos, and that's unappealing in and of itself. Now, to picture someone's bead-a-bees in that Taco Bell taco... yuck.

OT: I really want some chicken taquitos now. My friend's mom makes some awesome ones.
