I'm sorry, I just realized one.

Stretching pictures is not the business.
If it's been months (4+..don't take a picture one month and then another the next month and be mad when you see nothing) and your hair hasn't progressed from your last progress shot, that's okay. Reevaluate your regimen, tweak accordingly, and check back later.

Don't go on photoshop or MS Paint and lengthen the picture to make your hair look longer. And then make a thread about your amazing progress. Just don't do it. Even if you're trying to line it up with another picture and it gets lengthened that way, there are resizing options available that keep the image's proportions true, but will let your picture line up.

And for the love of heaven, people need to stop encouraging this!
When you see it (and you know when it happens, because everything is just out of proportion), don't be like...CONGRATS GREAT PROGRESS. You know what it is!

i didn't know that's what people were trying to achieve when they did braidouts/twistouts.

that's what i thought as well.
but yeah, it does look different but I don't think someone with relaxed hair is trying to achieve a natural braidout look.
 
If you are a natural and plan to stay that way, please learn to love your "OWN" texture. If you are a 4b, then no amount of custards, gels etc etc is going to magically change you into a 3a. Sorry boo.

If you are relaxed and have no plans to go natural, then..........................................so what? Who cares? Making announcements about how you will "always relax" and never go natural is not only a waste of your time but also a waste of mine for reading it. It's your hair. Do what you want and what will make you happy.
 
You don't need to protective style if you've got hair nape length or shorter. I'm of the minority who think if your hair is too short to bun, it doesn't need bunning. It's not long enough to get snagged on anything or to rub on any harsh textured things like clothes or chairs or something. It's still relatively young hair, it's more resilient than older hair, so it just doesn't need "protection" like longer hair does. I think bunning is only for hair that's long enough to get in the way. If it isn't, don't worry about it.

omg, I didn't know people did this! Next time you see it please send me a pm and a link!! I need to see this. :lachen:
 
HEY That is not true! lol Some people have to chop chop in order to attain healthier hair. My hair broke off to less than an inch in some places so not cutting it was not an option. Plus I had to grow and cut out all the color that was in my hair. I tried holding on to some scraggly ends but realized that half of my head at SL and the other half not at SL was cute so I cut it. Still at NL, but hair is much healthier :grin:

Unpopular hair opinion #49 :lol:

If I have been seeing you post on here since 2005 when I started lurking, and your hair is STILL stuck at SL (not talking about folks who have gone natural and BCed, then relaxed, then BCed again) and not shown any growth whatsoever :look: Then I don't really care to hear your opinion on hair health, growth or retention. You obviously have no clue WTF you are talking about.

Now onto my opinions:
NEWSFLASH some people opt to cut their hair to a short length. There is a difference between short hair that doesn't grow and short hair that has been cut to that length for style purposes.

Just because you have long hair NOW doesn't mean you know everything about everything, because had that been the case you would've had long hair to begin with :look:

Twistouts and braidouts on relaxed hair in my opinion do not look cute. It does not look like natural hair period. It looks like relaxed hair that was braided and undone (hence the name).

Heat is my friend :infatuated:

I don't understand the point of drenching your hair with oils.

I like mineral oil :ohwell:

Short haired ladies can know just as much about healthy hair care as long haired ladies.

I think stretching for more than 6 months is insane and has no point at all.

I hate protective styling.

I probably have more, but i don't want to be too harsh lol

and i don't care what ya'll say, imma continue taking my wet length check pics.

length is length. shooot

I don't see how wet length shots are deceiving when you have shrinkage. My true length never shows w/ wet or dry hair b/c of shrinkage. But I can show an idea of my length better w/ my wet hair.

I've seen a few of those... you have to REALLY be workin' to pull that off... :look: *cough*

But most of the time the best thing you can do for your TWA is to just let it be. :look: No shingling, gooping, accessorizing, protein treatments, baggying, $30 shampoo... just let it be. It looks good. It WILL grow. :look: I promise. :look:
 
I dont see how you can have hair anorexia when you know darn well your hair is longer then 90% of the sista's you walk past and you *know* yo fam be ranting and raving over the length non-stop. You know you aint got no hair anoreia keep it real:rolleyes:.....:giggle:

I didn't know people did this. :ohwell: That's kind of pathetic. Hate to use such a strong word for it, but it really is pathetic. I don't want to think badly about anyone here but wow. If they really do alter their pics to make their hair look longer, then they're lying to themselves. :nono:

Right. Alot needs to line up to look really fly with a twa. Or at least realize that now is the time to experiment with makeup and jewelry.

TWA+ no makeup+ no jewelry only can work if you are extraordinarly cute and/or have a banging body.

Isn't that the definition of hair anorexia? When you *feel* like your hair is short even though you have objective proof that it is in fact long?
 
-I don't believe hair will eventually revert back after a BKT or henna treatments- I don't believe anyone who says it, nor would I ever take the risk.
-I believe heat protectants will give my fine hair heat damage. I'd rather flat iron (once in a blue moon) on naked hair.
-You all will never see my bra or me 1/2 naked. If I reached a certain length, y'all can just take my word on the matter.
-Too damn many of us need to obsess over fitness goals, as we do hair goals.
-The fake hair and big flower in natural hair has just got to stop.
-Both relaxed and natural heads, with the gorgeous gorgeous hair make me proud.
