It's just that people seem to start controversial threads on a Sunday, and people are more active in it, most likely b/c it's Sunday and people are hanging out at home.

Totally understandable, b/c all day yesterday I was glued to the tv and LHCF (after church of course! Gotta have my Jesus...).

I stumbled upon LHCF around the same time I found BHM. For some reason, I decided to get more involved with LHCF. So can someone please break it down for me (and be honest):
What are the subcultures (compared to LHCF) like in other forums like: BHM, Nappturality, Hairlista, Naturally Curly, Black Hair Planet, etc?

TKay45,
Was one of your posts in a thread that got Cheadled and poofed?

Incognitus,
I joined Nappturality and LHCF at the same time. I found the atmosphere at Nappturality a bit too hardcore for my tastes, i.e, little acceptance of straightening natural hair.

What do split ends look like??
Yes, I'm serious

I've seen the diagrams, but I still can't figure out what I'm supposed to be looking for on actual hair: Is it a single strand that's splitting? Or is it when you grab a group of strands and they don't lay in the same direction?

DaiseeDay If you want to know what a split end looks like, you might need a magnifying glass to see most of them, because usually they tear off before you can see them so you only end up with the thin strands left behind--in other words, you find out when it's too late. Sometimes you may catch them and they look like a fork. But considering how skinny hair strands are, if a part peels off and breaks, how are you going to know for sure if what you're looking at is a whole or a strand missing part of its whole? Which is why I say trim regularly instead of waiting to see splits coz chances are you won't see most of them.
This image and the next 3 show you how much you would have to magnify your hair to see a split: http://www.flickr.com/photos/normaljean/341349045/in/photostream/
And considering you have 100,000+ strands, I don't know how you can inspect them all. Splits start at such a microscopic scale that if you can see them then they've probably gotten to this point:
And so part of the hair breaks off and you're left with skinny see-through ends because of the missing parts of the strands:
I call that post split-ends. Meaning, they've been around and long gone with parts of you strands.

After an ACV rinse, do you rinse your hair with plain water?
Nonie

Victoria44 I don't. ACV rinse is my final rinse. I even have an ACV/essential oils/water solution in a spray bottle for when I need to moisten my twists in order to style them. ACV rinse is usually the last thing left on my hair.

AlliCat you are so right
Victoria44 it's up to you. I don't rinse it out. The smell goes away once your hair dries.

coyacoyok, so here's my dumb question.......how do i start a thread?!i have looked like what seems everywhere and can't seem to find/figure out how to start a new thread!
1. Go to the home page ( the home button is on the upper left)
2. Click on the forum that you want your thread to appear in
3. Click the button that says new thread... and that's all

coyacoy, make_me_over, you don't even have to go to the homepage. As long as you're in the forum where you want to post your thread, if you look at the top, right below the Tag Users' bar, you'll see to the right a menu heading "Forum Tools". If you click on that, a drop down menu shows up with the option to Post a New Thread. (See attachment below for location of said menu)
ETA: I just noticed that there's even quicker way to do this: click on the NEW THREAD button to the left and voilà! (See it in the image below)

can relaxed hair be put into two strand twist without extensions? If so please explain how to do it, how long they last, can you still cowash, and how to keep them looking nice.

SouthernStunner Check out this video--not sure it answers your questions though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu3w5wf8IOY
Otherwise you may want to PM crlsweetie912 because she's relaxed yet has some of the most beautiful twist updos I've seen on the forum. Check 'em out. Since I've mentioned her, she probably will come and respond to you here, although this deserves a post of its own, IMO.

Thanks Nonie for the mention. That was such a sweet compliment..I am relaxed and did two strand twists in the post mentioned by Nonie, but I used extensions. I used kinky marley braid hair and only kept them in for about 2 weeks.
