Happy Hair Growing!
 
I'm grateful that even though I was intimidated by this site at first, I kept coming back to read and research.

I'm grateful that so many ladies have openly shared their haircare routines so I could learn from their successes as well as their setbacks.

I'm grateful that I tried some of the "new-fangled" techniques even when I felt weird doing them the first time (i.e. Cowashing, m&s, honey, evoo, stretching relaxers).

I'm grateful that my hair looks healthy enough for strangers to approach me for hair tips. I'm extremely grateful that I have gained the knowledge to share with them.

Yes, I want longer hair, but I appreciate the length I have right this minute because it's the longest my hair has ever been!

I love lhcf! :)

Sent from my Comet using Long Hair Care Forum App
 
I thankful for hot oil treatments because I just realized that's what my hair needed last week and I haven't had any hair issues since
 
I'm grateful for a loving family a sound mind, good health and being alive.

Hair wise: I'm just grateful to have hair left on my head :lol: After all the abuse I did to my fine strands :afro:
 
I am grateful that my hair is growing thick and long, at snails pace, but it's growing nonetheless.
My roommate as an undergrad had alopecia that was exacerbated by wearing braids and weaves, she went from thin edges to bald within two years.

When I think of her I feel so guilty for ever complaining about my hair.
 
I am thankful that my hair is resilient and has bounced back (sorta) from all the crap that i've put it through. :)

Other than that I am thankful for my family and a great job :)

Happy Hair Growing!
 
I am so thankful that I didn't have to cut my hair this week.

I tried a CRAZY pre-poo mixture, just to use up some products that I didn't want to throw away. Well, when I rinsed that mess out, I had dreads, major dreads, all over my head! I'm 7 weeks post, and my hair was so "locked" that I panicked...at first.

It was after 10pm, and I was so tired, but after over 2 hours, and a bunch of conditioner, I PATIENTLY detangled my hair, with miminal breakage. I was thanking God, the whole time, that I would not have to cut anything out.

I thank God for my healthy hair and everything I have learned on LHCF!! :grin:
 
First I want to thank God for leading me to LHCF.
I am grateful for the knowledge that I have received from LHCF, as a result I no longer view doing my and my dd's hair as a chore, but I actually enjoy it.
I am grateful for the health of my hair and the progress that I have made these last 2 1/2 years.
I am grateful for all the lovely progress photos that encouraged me to continue my HHJ when I felt like giving up.
I am grateful that after 12 years, my temples that thinned out after the birth of my dd are finally filling in.
 
Great thread! I am thankful for:

God's grace and mercy.
Jesus' sacrifice for me.
My family and friends.
The pearls of hair wisdom gleaned from this forum.
For each hair that I don't lose to PCOS.
For every inch of natural hair growing through my transition.
For my husband who has supported my transition, my product junkie phase, my homemade hair concoctions and who tells me daily that even if I am eventually completely bald, I will continue to be the most beautiful woman in the world, lol!
 
I am grateful for my family and friends. My health and my love.

As for my hair I am so grateful for no serious setbacks and that I finally got my henna regimn right so that my grey is fully covered.
 
I am thankful to Njoy for starting this thread. What a beautiful idea.

My sister had beautiful thick hair that she lost before she passed away unexpectedly at the age of 31. Sometimes when I read threads where people are complaining about simple things, or when I do it myself, I think about how blessed we are to have hair, period. How incredible that we are alive. Most of us are healthy, our hair can and does grow, and if we have a setback, guess what - it will grow back.

So I am thankful for my sons, my husband, my parents, my sisters, my nieces and nephew, everyone who has touched my life and whose life I have been privileged to touch. I am truly thankful to God for His grace and mercy. I am thankful for every setback, every lesson learned, every triumph. I truly am simply thankful for the ability to breathe with ease, which is something else my sister lost before she passed away. I didn't mean to get too deep, but this thread came right on time.

Thank you Njoy.
 
Great thread! I'm so thankful for the strong bond that I have with my mother, she is always there for me and my best friend :D

I am so thankful for all the knowledge I have gotten from this board, I have come SUCH a long way. Oh my gosh I used to sleep on a cotton pillow with no scarf, use heat every day, and use a leave-in after shampooing with no DCing. I have so much knowledge about hair in general and with all these products I keep trying it just keeps getting better and better :D
 
* I am thankful for every kink and coil, and curl
* I am thankful for the luscious locs and generous shine
* I am thankful that my hair continues to grow effortlessly and with abundance!

:bighug:
I LOVE MY HAIR! And you know what, I LOVE YOUR HAIR TOO! ​
 
This is the best hair board thread ever! :)

- I'm thankful to be a part of this thread

- I'm thankful that I have a full head of hair. Quite a few of the elders in my family have permanent hair loss so I know hair isn't something you take for granted.

- I'm thankful for indigo tips I picked up here on lhcf. Me and commercial dye weren't getting along, and without the info on this board or I wouldn't have known that indigo was an option.
 
I am grateful to have a loving Father who cares about even the very hair on my head. Thank you, Jehovah!

I am grateful to have a Brother who intercedes on my behalf. Thank you, Jesus!

I am grateful to Holy Spirit who gives me wisdom to know what to do when I need to do it. Thank you, Holy Spirit!

I am grateful that Beverly had the grace on her life to found this forum. It has truly blessed more than she can imagine. Thanks, Bev.
