Janet' said:
Good Morn All,

I've been off of work under the weather...Hopefully, I'll be back by to normal by Monday! In the meantime, who's been on LHCF more than she cares to admit? *Ding, ding, ding*

I'm trying to steady myself as well as far as challenges are concerned- other than this one, the others are Length related but I'm already in: MBL 2011 (hopefully, I really won't be in this one because I will have met that goal by the end of the year), WL 2011, and don't laugh :look: :look: HL 2011 :look: :look: Don't ask what I was thinking when I joined this one, but hey- I'm going hard for 2011 and if I can even get close (within 2 inches) I'll be happy!!!

Girl, you're making moves with all of these challenges!

I'm going to try my best to limit my challenges in 2011. So far I have this challenge and the WL 2011 challenge...but the new year hasn't even started yet. Knowing me, I'll join more. I'm trying not to though.:spinning:

The good thing is that all my challenges kinda tie in together. The sulfur,jheri juice and lady p challenges will help me achieve all the rest-HYH,inch a month, APL 2011(2 of them),BSL 2011, WL 2012 & 2013. I've already completed SL 2010 so I'm happy about that :woot:

Congrats on making your goal. All my challenges tie in together too. It does make it easier to stick to them:grin:
 
....there are some ppl that I know (non family members) that are pissed off that I'm walking around with wigs on my head :huh:

Seriously, I'm getting attitude and everything because they feel that I "dont need" to wear them ... has this happened to anyone else?
 
It drives my mom crazy when ever I wear a wig or pony. All I hear is, I don't see why you're wearing that &$?! When your hair is just as long.

Never mind that she (as well as my sister) practically live in their wigs. Talk about a double standard. :-/

Thanks ladies! :bighug: It does feel good to make the goal. Hopefully I can stick with my expected goal dates next year- APL by April and BSL by December. Fingers are crossed!

Girlllll I get that all the time from my mom. She HATES that I wear wigs and HATES that I'm transitioning to natural. She's just so stuck on bone straight hair that it makes me ill. Ugh. You would think family would be more supportive huh? Thank God for my SO. A lot of people think it's funny that my #1 supporter is my...caucasian bf :lachen:

I can't figure what I want to do to my hair. It's between crochet braids, kinky twists or individual braids. Hmmm decisions decisions.

Oh NikkiQ congrats on making SL
 
This thread is so live, I love it! I'm so excited for my length check in 2 weeks!!!

@NikkiQ congrats on SL, we have the same hair goals!

Congrats NikkiQ!!!! :congrats: :congrats:
 
Came home & my Evony half wig had arrived & I wanted to wait until Christmas to rock it but the girl just looks so good loL. I will probably put braids on the side instead of brushing my hair back tho. And they sent me my second choice which is the number 2 when I am a 1B but I guess I'll work with it.

Don't worry abt it! Shake them HATERS off. Prolly just mad cuz you look good in 'em! I got the SAME B.S. from the women and MEN in my family when I started wearing wigs off and on 5 + yrs ago (I had healthy, relaxed MBL hair when I began wearing and enjoying wigs, so they felt I didn't need them as well). My mom had the nerve to even bring work into it...saying "Well you know some employers don't like it if you change your hair too much..." relating that statement to the fact that I'd change my wigs whenever I felt like it, whether that be weekly or every other day!

Now, them folks KNOW NOT TO SAY NOTHING about my wig wearing, because this regimen is GOING nowhere...'tis here to stay. Afterall, the women need to take some TIPS...I've grown my hair out TWICE from having only 3-5" on my head (1 major cut from MBL to EL just b/c, another was a BC from APL to TWA after 9 month transition) to past BSL in the last 5 years, so they need to take notice that low-manipulation is working for me (their hair is either thin, shedding, dry, breaking, etc...and has remained at pretty much the same length for the past DECADE, seriously--

I used to try to offer tips but some people think they know it all, yet are seeing poor or NO results from their OBVIOUSLY flawed technique)... and the wigs ain't hurtin' NOBODY! I no longer offer any sort of advice about hair...and I give 1 or 2 word answers if they ask me what I do...after all ya wasn't tryna hear me before so don't come knocking when my hair is touching my arse!

I hate it when people knock ish they've never had the balls to try! :lol:

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY MOM & SISTERS. My mother is looking at anyone with curly/kinky/loc'd hair sideways just cause she has relaxed her hair to a thin shame of a Halle Berry cut for the past 30+ years...sadly. AND she uses a curling iron more than 3 times a week on already curled hair. So she has thinning from relaxing, age, and heat use...yet has the nerve to say that natural hair can make a nice outfit look "unkempt." WTH? There are so many beautiful heads of natural hair...how does wearing your natural hair texture (i.e. not straightened) make your outfit look BAD? Thas just the ol' negro speaking...the ones that grew up in the '60's/'70's talking about Black Power but were AFRAID OF 'FROs. :lachen: What a contradiction!!!

IMHO, she needs to stretch her relaxers or go natural herself if she still wants to have any hair left 10 years from now. She hated my wigs before, but has since gotten used to them (I guess...she sometimes compliments me on their style or doesn't say anything...and with my mother...her keeping her mouth closed is a sign she is satisfied or doesn't have a problem). :lachen: lol but love moms...but as I always say about everything... DONT KNOCK IT TIL YOU TRY IT!

ETA: My ex was Caucasian-Irish, yet he knew all about wigs, weaves, and Hairsisters! Homeboy wasn't knocking nothing, and surprisingly I get more flack from Black folks about wearing natural hair or transitioning than I do the other persuasions! Gee where has the African in African-American gone? :ohwell:

I have to say I have educated a few of my brothers (friends) on Lace Fronts; I have been Sequestered to help them find wigs, order their wigs for their SO's and such.

My male friends were amazed to see what was under my wig compared to their women. I am like not all Woman treat their hair like crap. My Sugar honey Ice tea is tight.

NIKKI Congrats on Making SL again. :congrats:

Hope all have a blessed evening :)

Oh Yeah and I love Wigs and LF I don't care who likes it. I don't like things other people do or say but hey, to each his own. Live and let live!
 
Where online are you all purchasing your pieces from? I went to my local bss and was surprised that the $24 online wig is $70 in there. Feel free to PM me if you want to keep it on the hush hush. :yep:
