Be GRATEFUL!!! ***The Hair Gratitude Thread*** (Get in here!)

I am grateful for this beautiful spring day and perfect weather. I am thankful that I have an inch and a half of new growth in 2 months.
 
I am thankful and so very blessed just to BE here. :yep:

I am thankful for my healthy kinky coiled fine hair.

I love my waves, curls, coils, and frizz :lol:

This is my first intentional go at being natural since adulthood and I have to say that it's been quite a journey. I love how it's going so far. It's wild that my hair seems to have a mind of it's own.... what's even wilder is that I'm learning to understand the language. :lol: YAY! :grin:
 
I'm thankful that my hair is healthy thick and curly I'm thankful that my hair has bounced back from many setbacks also that it has grown so fast faster than ever before so the length has caught up w pre set back length and is now surpassing those previous lengths
I'm thankful for my soon to achieve full thick HL TL hair
Thanks OP and to all the ladies on the boards and fotki who have shared their knowledge. ESP the longhaired divas who could just leave once they reached their ultimate goal but stayed on to teach.

Cute thread NJoy

I am thankful (hair wise):

*That with all of this bleach blonde, I still have hair on my head
*That I have not had a major setback thus far in my HHJ
*That I have made e-acquaintances that have really been supportive and helpful
*That I know what I need to do to get my hair where it needs to be and this has in turn helped me be a more patient and understanding person
 
But TODAY... I'm shaking off all stinkin thinkin and getting back to an attitude of gratitude! Last year my hair grew like weeds and I was expectant and thankful for everything I got. Thankful for having perfect ends. Thankful for every inch. Thankful for no setbacks. Just THANKFUL for the entire journey.


THIS!!!...

I am TRULY thankful for thick, healthy hair that is the longest its been since I was a little girl... I'm thankful for the wealth of knowledge and skill I've gained over the past two years, which has led me to Retain nearly every inch I've grown... I'm thankful for the HUGE increase in manageability of my hair since I finally learned what it wants and needs...

I'm thankful for the weave checks, compliments, gracious smiles, and bewildered stares I receive whenever I give the wigs a rest and wear my own hair out... I thankful to still HAVE this much hair in the first place after all the crazy stuff I did to it back in my "bored with my hair just bc'ed awkward length" phase... I'm thankful to have recovered from over-zealous, scissor happy hair trims at the salon- and braiders who INSISTED on those D*mn small tooth combs!!! :down:

I am thankful for whatever my hair looks like on my 1 yr length check in April, whether its bsl or not...

I AM THANKFUL TO BE TAKING OF MY OWN HAIR, ALL BY MYSELF, AND DOING A DARN GOOD JOB AT IT! THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!

And thank you for this thread Njoy, I needed it!!!!

OMG! I love this thread already. Can't post because of time right now but marking my spot:yep:.
 
I thank God for everything I know about hair care.

I look at girls/women around me (of all races) who are obviously clueless about how to have healthy hair, and I think, "why do I know what they don't?" Of course, I try to enlighten people, but that's not always easy. :nono:
 
I am glad for all the grey hair sprouting up on my head, it means God has allowed me to live well beyond what I deserve. Glad to be back on LHCF and get my hair back on a path to health, when I was doing it before I saw so much progress and I can't wait to see it again.
 
I am thankful to be part of a group of women that share they hair care routines.

Thank you Lord Jesus!!!!!
 
I am happy and grateful that my unashamed love of the creamy crack does not determine my self-repsect, self-love or self-worth! I am a happy camper:yep:!

More to come later.
 
I am grateful to have hair period. I get weave checked ALOT, and sometimes it is irritating. But that just means the people see what I sometimes don't. There are people who would love to have my hair's length and/or texture. I often times forget how blessed I am when it comes to my hair. Thank you for reminding me that MY grass is green :sunshine:

And :bighug: to you and my deepest sympathy for your loss.
 
I'm thankful that I finally found a detangling routine that works for me. :reddancer:

Giving me a love for my progress and helping me discover all of the natural products that are good for my hair:lick:

I look forward to more growth, health, and styles my hair will be able to give me:yep:
