Can I ask a DUMB question

Smiley79 said:
My question is can you help me understand how the rave about not combing hair is effective? I'm eager to learn and give it a try. But each night I have been moisturizing and massaging my hair and the though of not combing out that teasing drives me crazy, lol. Whatever hair I'm saving by not combing daily, won't it catch up with me later on cowash day. (I am texlaxed) pls help me understand this no comb thing because I notice that is one thing the healthy heads on this bored do have in common.

It's pretty much going on low manipulation. The less you manipulate, the less chance of breakage.

@Smiley79, most no combers finger comb to keep it from catching up with them.
 
Can wearing a hat be damaging to the ends of your hair? I have a twa and I wear a hat every day to work and it JUST occurred to me that I might be doing some damage to my ends.:nono: Should I be wearing a plastic cap or something underneath it?

The hat could be rubbing on the ends of your hair. I think the best bet would be to wear a silk scarf or bonnet under your hat to protect your ends thehappyserver

If it's an edited comment, then that's just the characters they put in after deleting their comment. You have to have 10 letters/characters in every reply.

Other than that, it means they have no words to say :lol:

Okay...i have a dumb question:look:

I have been on the boards for a while but i've only been natural for almost 1yr and a half but...can somebody explain the difference between a rinse-out and a detangling conditioner? I thought they'd be the same thing...right?:look:

Detangling conditioners have lots of cones specifically to give extra slip so you can comb your hair with it in. It's not meant to moisturize your hair, but soften. Rinse-out conditioners are not necessarily detangling.

thehappyserver, I wear hats all the time too. I wear Saran wrap under them. Also make sure the hats are not rubbing against your hairline. I make sure mine comes down to my forehead. I once read that there should be just an inch between eyebrows and hat...so that rule works in my favor coz hats don't have to rub on my hairline.

Or you could use a scarf and make it part of the style like this or this.
 
I wonder if it appears that I am online if my computer is open. Even if longhaircareforum is a tab that I am not on?

Yes. As long as you are logged onto LHCF and your computer is not shutdown or locked or in standby you appear to be online.
 
I need a bit of help, I don't get my notices when using the android app, but even when I go online, I still have issues. For example, I had a few private messages and a couple of tags, but as soon as I clicked on one of the messages all of my other notifications went away and I don't know where or rather, how to view the threads I was tagged in. Any ideas? I am still clueless about a lot of the functions on thus site.

I am having the same problems as well!
 
I have a question.... My power went out at maybe 11pm on Friday and came back on at 3am this morning. I made sure to not go in it once so I could keep everything cold for as long as possible. When the power came back on I finally opened it and touched a few things to test the temp and everything was still cool.

So....am I good? Or do I really need to throw stuff out? Lol
