-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.

and everyone is not CAPABLE of receiving advice.

Fake hair is addictive :alcoholic I wish I could quit you!! Even now I'm like "Ok, once I'm at Hip Length I'll leave the fake hair alone!" :lachen:

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 said I dont see how you can have it when you KNOW your hair is way longer then average, if you dont know....than I just think thats really rare and wierd...I think very few ladies genuinely have hair anorexia, with the way people fawn over you when you have long hair and people in public look at you extra hard trying to find out where you hid the tracks theres no way you can honetly believe you have short hair lol I think its just something ladies say.

Hmm... could be some folks are faking the funk, lol. I think maybe some posters say they have hair anorexia when what they mean is that they want MORE and MORE length and will never be satisfied till they look like Cousin It :lachen: (ETA: not that I would know anything about that :sekret: :lachen: )

I'm confused about why anyone would BKT at all. If its a product that could kill me dead as a doornail if I don't crack the window open high enough :perplexed I will NOT be pucking with it. :nono: If it's that deep I'd just get a relaxer.
 
I dont understand why so many ladies on here still go to the salon so often, do you enjoy getting your hair tore up? How you gonna go, get your hair wrecked then act brand new like you never saw it coming? All the resources you have on hand and you still took yourself to a hood sub-par salon. I'm sorry but you did it to yourself.

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.

I think this is true for any type of short hair. Long hair is a safety net.

someone that is relaxed and BKted would probably know more than me, I've never bkted but I'm gonna answer anyway. :giggle:

I think that the bkt does not straighten. It just removes frizz and infuses protein into the hair by way of heat. So it is good for the hair, while a relaxer just straightens it and it is detrimental to some extent.
It wouldn't cause breakage because a BKT actually works BETTER on processed hair. You get the optimum results when you are relaxed/permed or colored because the hair takes the protein better.

When people with virgin hair do it, it lasts for less time, though it still works well.

If you're in the type 4 range, you're a grown adult sista and wish your hair was a looser texture in the 3s then you have some introspection to do and seriously need to deprogram yourself.....I find it really disturbing when I see grown women ...members of LHCF at that....still running up in unpopular opinion threads saying that...its sad and its not okay.

My hair does great with heat, its not the enemy when you have your technique together and do things in moderation.
Click to expand...

I'm type 4 and yes, I do wish my texture was looser, which is why I relax. I would take a 3b/c happily, but that aint happening any time soon - or ever.

I don't think I need to deprogram anything. I like what I like, plain and simple. Do people that color their hair need to deprogram? Do clear people with perms need to deprogram? That's like me telling you that you need to deprogram yourself because you choose to wear your hair straight here and there (which I really wouldn't b/c I think your hair looks beautiful either way and I have a "do you" mentality)

I'm not trying to sound confrontational b/c this is a UO thread, I just wanted to speak on that.

Carry on :yep:.
 
In all honesty, it's all about finding the right stylist. Not all salons are the devil. And that's another opinion I'm putting out there: I LOVE GOING TO THE SALON AND WILL KEEP GOING TILL THE DAY I DIE lol I've been going to the same stylist since I was 10 and nothing ever happened to my hair until I started messing in it myself :ohwell:

When people first started talking about BKT, I thought it was just a really strong protein treatment. :lol: Maybe some people are confused...? :look:

Am I the only one who never wants to post another pic again after reading all this j/k :lachen:
Click to expand...

No. I was tempted earlier to respond to something, but it wasn't applicable to me even though I can see how folks would think it was. But for the record...

MY HEAD IS NOT TILTED BACK IN MY AVATAR! Please see my January 2010 Fotki, it is less ambiguous there. :look: I didn't even have much growth between September and January, I won't intentionally misrepresent the little I had.

NO, my being topless isn't meant to turn you on or to be indecent. :look: I just am indecent. :moon:

No, those aren't panties hanging from my towel rack. it's a towel. :look:
 
Why do people group light skin and long hair together like saying peanut butter and jelly?

Being honest most women I know in real life who have long hair (bsl and longer) are not light-skinned.....even on the boards..its 50/50 from where I see. Why do people cling to this even after seeing evidence to the contrary?

you shouldn't do that.

I've been a victim of posting progress pics to soon :rolleyes: and was the talk of hairboards

it didn't even deter me.

do it for yourself, not us.

I agree. It's nice to pamper yourself if you go to a nice salon, and not pookie n em LOL or if you are blessed to have a great stylist!

I think some ppl still go because they know they are going to be TO' up if they do their own relaxers, cuts, trims, blow outs, etc. Some things are hard to master and some things ppl should not do at home if they can't.
 
I am a protein head. I can use a mild protein twice a week without any bad effects for 2 months straight. I never advised anyone else to do this but this lady went on my personal page on anotther forum and was reading my regimen and told me off about using protein. It wasnt her head. she acted like she gave birth to me. I know we think we know it all but dang, some go way too far. :rolleyes:

Because they are ignorant. I often wonder why people who know so little feel obliged to talk so much.

I respect your opinion shtow, but white women do not have the same history as us or the same racial implications with hair and texture as we do. When white women get extensions, they get extensions that match their natural texture, we get hair that is the complete opposite of our hair and equate that with beauty.

When I'm saying is sometimes its really healthy for us to look into why it is we think a looser texture is better then what god blessed us with. I'm not saying this out of judgement because I felt the same way as a child...I think its really important for us to release ourselves from beauty standards that dont include us...its really liberating...trust me:yep:
