i confess that i'm kind of indifferent about my hair right now.
i wouldn't mind just doing a BC. :look:
 
Natural hair is for everyone. If it wasn't, it wouldn't grow out of your head that way.
 
i confess that I have never had a relaxer my entire life & never really wanted one...until i found LHCF & saw that being relaxed doesnt necessarily equate to having short, dry, damaged hair...

i confess that i've always thought relaxed hair was "doomed"

i confess that i like my natural hair, but am dying to see what it would look like relaxed, w/ LHCF techniques & two yrs. of growing :look:
 
i confess that the other day i thought about flat ironing my hair. that will never happen though. im too scared of the damage. ya know....like the kind of heat damage im still trying to get ris of???? so no thanx to the heat.
 
I confess that I know breakage is normal and it happens to everyone, but I blame myself for it. For example, I was giving my scalp some love with njoi creations herbal hair dressing a strand of my hair broke off. I think I massgae my scalp a little too rough sometimes.
 
I confess...

I love my relaxed brethren, but sometimes, they make me :wallbash:.
If you relax your hair, breathe. No one is persecuting you, no one hates you, no one is pushing you off LHCF...I'm pretty sure no one really cares. You are not a victim. You are not an internet refugee. You don't have to lurk or hide. It's not that deep nor is it that serious.
BREATHE.
 
I confess:

I was supposed to start studying an hour ago, but have been on LHCF
My hair straighteners are my most valued possession, I really wish I could give them up but I know I can't.
 
I confess:

Ampro Clear Ice Gel this morning :nono: All gels are not made the same, luckily picked up more of the IC yesterday. :ohwell: Ampro jar in trash.
 
My mother had wavy, silky hair and these six months I've been skipping the relaxer, I've been hoping my hair was more like hers, but alas... just like my dark skin, I think my hair is more like my dad's. Still pretty though... just not like my mom's. :( I've always wanted to be like my mom. I think I have her sense of humor and that's about all I got.

I almost asked a girl about a weave the other day. An accident. I saw her pretty hair (SHE was pretty was the main thing) and I wanted to know how she got her curls to pop like that.) I said something like, "Now tell me..." and I touched a curl (not weave checking, honest... I thought it was natural until I touched it.) It felt synthetic so then I said, "Your hair is so pretty."

I know... I should have pulled back a nub for touching that girl's hair without permission.

I think I've finally reached PJ overload. I have so many conditioners, shampoos, butters, leave-ins around here I have no space for them. Some are in the computer room, some are in the living room behind the couch and some are in the bathroom. Yikes!

ETA: Whoops. I hadn't read the whole thread before I posted. I want to be clear that I love my hair texture and I love my brown skin. But I DID always desire to look like my mom... but BECAUSE she was MY MOM. What little girl doesn't? No complex though. My mom told me I was beautiful and had beautiful hair and I BELIEVED it. :)

Confession:

I never even knew what a relaxer/perm was until I was out of High School :lachen: I just thought everybody got a press n' curl

I was kind of like that. I had no clue about weaves and phony ponies and braid extensions. I was going to college and working and MAD that I'd see other black girls looking good ALL the time. Also, when I was a kid, I remember there weren't that many girls with hair longer than mine. Now mine had broken off because of lack of care, but still. Suddenly there were all these girls with long flowing locks! I was like... dang!

Then one day going to school, I got on the shuttle and I saw the bus driver and she had this long shiny pony tail just bouncing and curling and sparkling and I finally started to suspect something was UP... heh. That's been in about the last 5 years that I finally caught on. :lachen:
 
At work I spends hours on LHCF pretending like I am working just so I can read about healthy hair and soak up as much info as I can for my own. I also keep looking up everything ya'll mention so I can purchase it (while still at work). I am obsessed with my hair rt now it is ridiculous! It is all I want to talk about (hair info in general) and I can' t understand why no once is interested.

Oh I even check hair blogs on my blackberry and read on that little arse screen long enough to get a headache...LOL
 
My confession:

I'm supposed to be doing the Crown and Glory Challenge but I have braided my hair since August and could care less :look: I really don't like braids and it takes me forever to get them done.

I love playing with my new growth but I'm really apprehensive about going natural. I always think that I might not be able to take good care of it.
 
I did a mini chop a few weeks back and now that I took my braids out i really regret it. I have a small pony tail :( MY hair has never been this short so this is kinda hard for me.
 
I want to confess that I feel bad for what I said about my sister. I really don't secretly like that she doesn't take care of her hair. Actually I am mad that she DOESN'T take care of it.

I wish she would. I do hate her using my products (gel, etc) cause I feel it's a waste cause she doesn't take care of her hair. I wish people weren't so lazy when it comes to hair. You can KISS and still have progress.
 
i lost a chunk of hair last night. I was really upset. i had my hair in a ponytail holder something i never use and my hair got tangled in the fcking thing. I couldn't get it out. i lost my patience and yanked it out. i lost a CHUNK of hair! I tried to find the section after that but i couldn't really find it as my hair was still kind of curly from a twist out. I'm afraid to wear my hair straight now because i am sure it will be super noticeable. it's super curly this morning. i still feel like crying. this totally sucks. i will never use a pony tail holder again...don't know why i used it yesterday i usually NEVER use them. going to cry...
 
Forgive me LHCF for I have sinned..it has been many moons since my last hair confession.

I confess that the time I spend on my hair is an issue in my marriage.

I confess that if I go to any store and I find hair products I am excited. Like I keep my children away from the candy isle or toy isle, I need to be kept away from hair isle.

I confess that I can easily rock a full sew in weave but I have issues with wearing a wig (?)....
 
Well..this isn't a hair confession, but I confess, whenever I hear a Chris Brown song, I feel sorry for him because I don't really see his career recovering. ;_;

I'm sorry. I know it's easy to be frustrated, but at least now you know to take it easy with your hair!
 
I confess that I am going back to using all natural/some organic products in 2010. I notice a difference in my hair even though no one else does. :look:

I confess that I was being a lazy bum and it took me a week to do my micros myself (I seriously was doing one row a day, smh). I finished them on Tuesday; they look great and I'm pretty much ready to take them out. FML, lol. Libras really are indecisive sometimes! I'm living proof! Lol.
 
I confess that I was not as gentle detangling as I should have been, and so I heard a lot of snaps, crackles and pops when I went through my hair today. Hopefully it will be better on Tuesday, next wash day. I am about 8 weeks post.

I confess that, after protein overload, now my hair is going the other way; moisture overload. Oh lord.

I confess that, I can't wait till the cruise in three weeks to relax again. Whenever my hair seems out of balance, relaxing it helps to get it back in balance. Also, I am sick of detangling my locks.

And lastly, I confess that, though I want to stretch about 16 weeks for my anniversary after I get this next touch up, that I am scared to death at managing my hair for 3 more weeks than I am used to after a touch up. I hope the breakage is not too bad. Since my hair is getting so much thicker, stretches are TRYING.

I confess i own all of 2 products for my hair shampoo and coconut oil...i feel like such a simpleton compared to some of the product junkies on here :ohwell:
 
I tell myself I have long hair, even when I have major shrinkage. I like to think my hair will grow faster that way.
 
I confess I used to wear my mothers thin wool scarves and tie the end like a pony tail on my head, and imagine I had a long ponytail just like the other girls in my class.

I confess in highschool I used to go weeks without washing my hair, and simply apply gel daily to flatten the frizzies out.

I confess that I used to paste down my 'baby hairs' into corkscrews on my forehead.

I confess that my fonypony fell off in the club... and I picked it up off the floor and reattached like nothing just happened.
