I really would trade my head of hair in for someone elses right now. If I didn't think I would look like a complete idot, I would get a weave or some braids or a wig right now and call it a day. I'm too chicken and self conscious to do that though.
 
just had a new one! My roomate helped me part my hair today for my braids... I realized that my hair is now longer that hers and I had cut all my off two years ago!!!

I felt sooooo good inside hee hee....

When she said "Man your hair has grown a lot!" I sheepishly said "You think so.... I didnt notice"

Of course I noticed lol....In side I felt like I won a mini victory yall lol lol lol I feel so bad
 
I confess..

I have a hard time staying positive sometimes;
Sometimes I get real upset when I see other black girls with AMAZING AMAZING hair because I don't believe my hair will ever reach thick MB/WL. I think im doomed with not having a lot of follicles on my head for thick hair. Which is complete BS, how can I even know how full my hair is if I only just started my hair journey.

Anyone else ever felt this way :perplexed at least once during their journey? I feel like im the only negative Nancy on this board sometimes
 
20- I guess I kinda feel that way but I will be happy if my hair reaches down my back. I can only grow what I am supposed to so I don't beat myself up over it. I don't have outrageous goals. I don't really have any goal. I will be happy if my hair reaches APL which to me is an accomplishment because myhair has never been that long. Set small goals to accomplish and work your way up that way you don't get yourself down.

I feel like this every wash day, so noo you are not alone. :lachen:
But Geminigirl is right. Try not to think about your ultimate goal so much, and instead, set smaller, more quickly attainable goals. Like, if you're at shoulder length, just concentrate on APL. Or set a goal to get your hair stronger, to reduce your breakage, to perfect your rollersetting technique...whatever. Just something small. That might help keep your spirits up, and you'll probably reach length goals more quickly with healthier hair.
 
My mom introduced me to her friend to get my braids done but lately i have not really like how she has done them and will never be going back to her again. I drove all to way from jersey to BK to get it done and now i'm pissed. Its going to be an arguement with my mom for this but i dont care. where i live there are TONS of braid shops and I will going to one of them and calling it a day.
 
Sometimes I feel like my hair will never get to where i want it to be. I have a roommate with a gorgeous head of hair its thick and mbl and just shiny and lovely. She's had hair like that since she was a little girl though. I dont want hair like hers persay I just want mine to get to my armpits at least. Sometimes i really wish I was natural, but Im too self conscious to transition and my hair doesnt take well to heat so I dont know how I would do it without chopping all my hair off.
 
I confess....

To wind-styling. When standing on the train platform on my way to work i will pick where i stand based on wind direction and strength to get that perfect

'gentle breeze- look my hair moves- check out the silkiness- yes its real - im in a music video- bangs across the eye look! :lachen:

I confess...

To getting SUPER DUPER HAPPY when im on a date and someone smells my hair and runs their fingers through my hair and get all excited cos they have NEVER touched a black girls real hair before cos usually they have weaves and theyve never been allowed to touch....
 
I confess that it was such a tremendous relief that my girlfriend loves and supports my natural hair. She can't ever keep her hands out of my head. :)
 
I confess that I have this friend who constantly does damaging things to her hair, like wearing weaves(nothing wrong with that) but when she takes it out she would relax the same day with out even detangling first:wallbash:, she flat irons her hair everyday if she'd not wearing weave and she never put her hair in protective styles etc.

I have tried helping her along but she doesn't listen to me because she fells like she always have to compete with me:nono: and what I do so she feels the need to do her own thing :ohwell: so I have stopped trying.

I feel bad that she feels she always have to compete I just want to help her....and even when she does take my advice.....when she see's my hair thriving, she gives no credit and act like it was all her idea:perplexed

Now she's wearing weave and I know that when she takes it out my hair will look and be in a much better condition that hers

This is so sad because we both have the same type of hair and decided to start taking care of our hair around the same time

I confess I secretly like this because I feel justified....like if she'd stop competing and just take my advice she would be better off hair wise :blush:

I feel like such a bad person for thinking like that:spank:
 
Lol, I confess that I love telling people I use Juices and Berries in my hair. It gets them every time! Yesterday I went to my mothers house and my sister smelled my hair and said that it smelled like berries and she asked what I used. I said Juices and Berries and she laughed and asked if I thought I was Coming to America. Then she told me to stop playing and what I was using for real. I made her google it and she fell out laughing. She called me a crazy natural girl and told me to get out her room, lmao.

You know you can lead a horse to water...

IMO, you did above and beyond the call of a roommate and were even persistent about helping her. She made it clear she doesn't want to stop torturing her hair, so I would let her have at it... while my hair continued to grow thicker, longer, and all-around better. Hmph.
 
I confess i wear braids 70% of the year so i don't have to deal with own my hair.

I confess i think everyone else's hair looks better than mine. But i admire them (not hate on them)

I confess i don't get cocky and frown upon other woman when i have a good hair day, i just take note so i can thrive get to get it right everyday after.

I also confess that I have no idea what BSB means...lol.
Bra Strap Braids? Big Straight Blowout? Is the first word Below? Below Stomach Bellybutton...? I have no idea :perplexed.

Below Shoulder Blade. I think it's to replace BSL, because some folks wear their bras like....at their necks :lachen:.

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

I hope you at least dusted it off first... :lol: :lol: :lol:

  • All this focus on long hair is a struggle for me, but as vain as I feel, I'm willing to do it...if it'll help get me a man. :look:
  • As much as I'm feeling my new yarn twists, I was getting mad at myself in church today when they swung as I rocked...primarily because something inside me liked it a little bit...! *shudder*
 
I confess that I've cowashed every single day since my BC on 10/11/09...

I confess that I bought another bottle of conditioner the day after I vowed not to buy anymore until I finished the 4 or 5 I already had... :lachen:

I confess that I sometimes pluck full strands of hair from the root to inspect and measure it ... :nono:

I confess that it bothered me a little tonight when my 4 year old DD said that she liked my hair better when it was long. I know the longer, relaxed hair was all she knew until a month ago, but still :perplexed

I confess that I didn't know what BSB meant either :)
 
I do not need money. I am semi-ashamed of what I've blown through in two days alone, but at the same time, these are things that have been on my to-get list!

Don't judge me!
 
I have been on this board for 2 years now and have since BC'd and have NO clue where I can buy Shea butter..................I'm so ashamed. lol

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend said, "Pretty much everybody but black people have good hair."

I did not know what to say. I reminded him, his sister was black (and natural), his mother is black, nicca, I'M BLACK. And told him people of every race can have jacked up hair and ended the conversation right then and there.

I still don't know what to say. What's weird is, I didn't take too much offense to it and IDK why. Maybe because I know the poor thing is ignorant.

I honestly think if we were in the same room, and that came out of his mouth, I would've slapped him dead in it.

Love this! Glad you stuck it to him!
 
Speaking of boyfriends and hair, my EX boyfriend doesn't like me wearing wigs or straightening my hair. I thought that was a pretty cool thing at first, because he loves when I rock my fro and he is so against the good hair/bad hair debate (he believes good hair is healthy hair, not texture). So after coming home from the movies last night, I was telling him how I'm obsessed with the music artist Lloyd beause he has a lovely voice, but I'm not attracted to him because he's too skinny and I don't like men with long hair and he says "Yeah, because you wouldn't want to date a man with better hair than you." Then he got silent with the "Oh Shyt" look on his face and tried to explain himself. I just told him to leave it alone because he'd only make things worse *sigh* (I thought I had a keeper, hence the words EX Boyfriend) lol

A lot of women have said they don't want to date a man with prettier hair then theirs. And I agree. I would get his hair secrets and we could be best friends. :)

I confess your ex boyfriend aint got the sense God gave him. Who in their right mind tells someone they care about that the man on TV has better hair? Can I take this message to mean that you stopped dating this man last night? I want to imagine that you got off the couch, got this fool his coat, opened the door and waited patiently for him to bring you some peace as he left your home. Rudeness!
