My Hair Confessional

[Geminigirl]

I confess that I wasn't taking good care of my hair recently and it was showing.

I confess that I can't wait to wash my hair and these braids.

I am hoping when I take down my braids to have at least an inch on NG.

I can't wait til my JBCO gets here. I hope it really fills in my edges.

When I am about an about during a daily basis I find myself observing the heads of hair around me. In my mind I make up regimens for them which almost always, usually consist, of a washing and conditioning treatment to start off.

I am so obsessed with hair. I think about hair all day everyday, I can't wait til my hair gets APL. I hope my hair is a nice length for the summer, so I can do one good flat iron and have my siky, shiney mane flowing so I can toss it over my shoulder in my neighbors faces.

I know what you mean, Gemini.

Whenever I'm walking on campus, I always imagine I have this long, straight hair, blowing in the wind, or thick, springy curls that bounce with each step. I can't wait until I'm there.

And last week, I wasn't so nice to my hair and it showed. erplexed

 

[Geminigirl]

^^^Yup our hair sho will tell us when we ain't doing right. My hair caught a major tude.

Another confession...I can't wait til my sis gets out of school so I can get started on her hair. I am going to attempt to braid her hair in senegelse twists and I can't wait to see the final product already.

 

[gymfreak336]

I need an intervention. I can't keep the scissors out of my hands.

 

[manter26]

I confess:

There were times when I HATED my BC and wished I hadn't done it.

I don't think short hair is a good idea, unless it's relaxed.

Sometimes, I just don't care... I will most likely wash and flat iron my hair for the 3rd time this week. (I just have to try all the black friday products that are coming to my doorstep).

I get bored so easily, I'm trying to be in braids all year, but I'd rather spend the hours and days to put them in one week and take them out 2 weeks later.

I'm secretly having a hair growing contest with all the women in my family... Sometimes I cut it off, just so I can grow it past where theirs is.

I just saw a youtube vid and I have no words for it. I bet in a couple of days it will be posted here.

I confess...when people write "weary" or "weery" when they mean "wary", I want to fight.
Weary means tired.
Wary means apprehensive.

Same with leery. I forget which word it gets substituted with, but it frustrates me.
I don't know why, but it just makes me so mad to see it.

ETA: IT'S COARSE NOT COURSE/CORSE. Course is a route or path, and corse is. not. a. word.
I'm about to have a fit, let me get to bed.

THIS!!!


And I get annoyed with the "they're", "their" and "there" mix-ups. Also, the "a" and "and", and the "your" and "you're" stuff.


I can deal with typos, but there's a difference. I'm a bit of a grammar nazi. erplexed

 

[Skiggle]

I confess that my siggy keeps me motivated.

 

[LunadeMiel]

I have gone back to using hair grease (the one with petroleum Jelly). It makes my hair feel so good

 

[Bene]

Cassia is a lot of work. It helps my hair, sure, but I mainly do it because my b/f likes the smell. He keeps walking over to sniff my head

 

[robot.]

What's it smell like?

I just saw a youtube vid and I have no words for it. I bet in a couple of days it will be posted here.

Oh, really?

 

[Fhrizzball]

I can finally do a bun without a scrunchy! I only have knitting sticks but it's still something. Too bad I have to wear a hat at work so it won't really work there.

I really want to highlight my hair but I don't want more split ends than I already have. Rollersetting did a number on my hair so I better get this out of my system...

Grow hair grow!

 

[Bene]

What's it smell like?

Smells like a mixture of fresh hay and green tea. Some people don't like it, some people do.

 

[classychic1908]

I straightened my hair last month and wasn't really feeling it, because I don't think it's long enough. I never used to feel that way until I joined the forum, now I don't think I will see my hair as long until I'm middle back length or until I see a a significant change in my hair's length in it's natural state.

 

[chebaby]

i hope this braid out turns out beautiful tomorrow.
i havent deep conditioned my hair in over a week and thats our of the morn for me. i guess i will do it mid week.

 

[FroFab]

I've been combing my hair dry for the last 2 days.

 

[DarkHair]

I'm glad I oiled my ng tonight. I am hoping and praying that my stylist can squeeze me in for a touchup. I can't last another week to 14 weeks post.

 

[bumblb87]

So I'm out of my weave for now...... minus the the 2 tracks I add to my bun to make me feel better.....weave issues.....not having a sew in has allowed me to "bond" a little with my hair.....it gets neglected, not abused (hair care wise) anymore, but ignored....put in a weave and left there....never played with or anything....

Back to a sew in early January....

Same thing with women/woman and men/man.

 

[MissNadia]

The cold + snow is making me hate my hair.

 

[carameldelight87]

I confess that I haven't deep conditioned in about a month. erplexed Been lazy.

I confess that I've NEVER enjoyed doing my hair or buying products for my hair in any other state, relaxed or even locked. I've never enjoyed talking about my hair before either.

I confess that I feel sexier now than I ever did with relaxed hair!

I confess that I may be on the road to PJism. However, I'm simply still trying to find my staples. I don't really have any and that makes me nervous.

I confess that I can't tell if my hair "loves" a product. I hear people say that but I don't think I've ever had this "aha" moment. My hair feels great wet, no matter what products I use. The only thing I can detect is dryness. erplexed

 

[locabouthair]

My hair's breaking. I've been losing a lot of strands lately. I need a relaxer and I think I am getting demarcation breakage.

But the parts that broke off are growing back but this new breakage has me worried.

 

[addaboutmyhair]

I've been on this site for an hour, and I have a final exam tomorrow.

I want but length hair I can cover myself with.

When I can't sleep at night, I soothe myself about thinking how I'm going to protect and grow my hair next year.

Between wigs and braids, I don't want anyone to see my hair until I can do a big dramatic reveal of gorgeous long hair.

I really, really really wish i could grow 5 inches/month. That is my hair fantasy. And yes I know that's not possible. Fantasy!

 

[La Colocha]

I confess that i want to straighten my hair but im too scared to do it. My hair has been damaged for years and now that its healthy i feel guilty. I get sick to my stomach thinking i will damage it again. I guess no heat for me.

 

[OhSoOthentik]

I literally wanted to knock the snot out of someone tonight at work who continually makes derogatory comments about my hair (natural twa). The funny thing about it is I have had positive feedback from everyone but this person who ironically did her big chop a month after me (supposedly inspired by me), so I dont get why she feels the need to constantly dog me now. I know she has personal issues about her own hair and takes it out on me, but I am getting tired of being her whipping board. So that's my confession, I came about an inch within giving her the business today. However, since I am at work, I decided it would be best to pray that my words and actions stay clean. Devil, get behind me!

 

[OhSoOthentik]

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.

THis cracks me up because Coming To America is my favorite movie. Also my "special friend" recently saw my natural hair for the first time and I told him about my deep conditioning regimen, and he says, "Oh so you got your juices and berries in your hair"

 

[KiSseS03]

I confess, that I've been seeing this thread for weeks and never opened it til last night, and I don't know what took me so long, but now I love it.

I confess that I am soooooooo excited about my hair these days, I feel like a newbie again (in terms of commitment, not hair knowledge). It's wonderful!

I confess that '09 was a Bad hair year for me because I had to cut my hair to an inverted bob, with the longest pieces at ear length, due to a stylist overprocessing me. Now that my hair is almost APL my Bad hair year is over, and I'm loving showing off my new length and health!

I confess that I think my natural type 4, jet black hair is the BIZ, and I'm sure that I will never relax it again. I can't wait until June to finish this 18 month transition and rock my soft, sheeny, coily, glorious hair!

I confess that for the first time I actually know in my heart that I will reach my MBL hair goal, and rock it in Gabbanagirl's bantu knot-out style... it's my hair's biggest dream!

I confess that I wish I had a hair-friend lol, someone local with a hair passion that was as big as mine. At the moment I try to talk to my sis about my love of hair, and passion for growing mine out healthy, long and strong. She appeases me for a few minutes, but then gets this glazed look after awhile and I know I've lost her.

I confess that I think my healthy hair will be a huge addition to my credibility as a future health care professional/GP. I think strong, healthy natural hair, nails and clear skin are wonderful beautiful signs of inner health and vitality.

I confess that as I switch to more natural/organic products, I'm overcome with a desire to become my own natural mix-tician.

 

[KiSseS03]

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.

I see people looking and I shake my hair a little extra for them. 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

:woohoo: I love this whole post!!
