Disobeying the LHCF hair police!

[Chaosbutterfly]

1. I use protein every week. And I leave it on for longer than 15 minutes.
2. I sleep in my deep conditioner whenever I feel like it.
3. On my last stretch, after 10 weeks post, I started flat ironing my roots every week. It was the best and easiest stretch I ever had. And I'm gonna do it again and again and again.
4. I love shampoo.
5. I comb my hair everyday, twice a day. Say something.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I don't dc on a regular basis and i really really should. The last time i dc'd was probably about 3 months ago look:

 

[MarieB]

-I comb and brush daily.
-I never bun. If my hair isn't in a ponytail, it's loose.
-I only pre-poo if I'm DCing, and I am veerrry slack on that lately.
-I use heat (I do use a protectant, though) because I get too impatient to airdry when it's cold.
-Seal? Ends? Huh?
-I play with my hair a lot.
-I rarely rollerset.
-I dust/S&D at random, sometimes too much.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I don't pre-poo
I comb my hair daily
I don't use growth aids
I use more than a quarter-sized bit of conditioner

I'm a naughty girl!

 

[Lexib]

-I lather more than once...like 3-4 times
-I use some sort of protein every time I wet my hair
-I only pre poo when I'm trying to use up a product
-I LOVE cones and use them often. Love the way they make my hair look and feel
-I love touching my hair and when I get better combs (seamless) I will be back to combing my hair all day everyday
-I hardly ever detangle and if I do, I detangle from root to tip
-I tried clarifying 2/mo but I'm back to every week
-After I use my s-curl no drip, I use Luster's pink oil...and I DARE someone to come at me about it! Yeah, it has mineral oil. So what?

Nice thread, OP!

Oh no you didnt!!!! I thought you weren't even allowed to join LHCF unless you swore off the Pink Devil for good

 

[SVT]

Ok I stand corrected.
I keep hearing about that finally free fiasco. That sounds sad. link please?

Nah, this ain't that kinda thread. Let's stay on topic. Thanks.

 

[LifeCoach]

I don't wash my hair more than trice a month when in braids.
I use heat on every wash day
I love playing with my hair after a relaxer
I dont understand what is meant by protein treatment/moisture balance

 

[mariofmagdal]

I brush my hair, I love it on the scalp!
I will use a good ole tingly hair grease to relax, it feels so good when I have a headache.
I lather more than once.
Tried co-washing, of no apparent use to me.
I barely oil my scalp.

 

[tdwillis]

Wow! Not to hijack the thread, but Charmtease and Je Ne Sai Quoi, you two have really beautiful hair.
My confession is that I like to use heat. However, I have never really got a clear answer from LHCF on how to use it without causing damage.

 

[Kash]

i luv the title of this threadi use heat on my hair and i use products with mineral oil .

 

[simplyconfident]

I like to go to salon....
In fact I have an appointment for this week and will start going regularly every 2-3 weeks.

The longest I stretch my relaxers is 10 weeks

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

OH YEAH.

I have a six step regimen AND I take out all day to do it.

Sometimes, I'll even take up an entire weekend.

 

[BostonMaria]

I don't have too many hair sins. I'm a police cadet in training I guess LOL

- I use a brush to slick my edges.
- I twirl my hair all damn day.

Oh da horrah. Please don't judge me *wipes fake tears*

Im w/you Boston! Last year I was a fugitive on the run because I was breaking all the laws . I enjoyed my hair...until it broke off something terrible . Now, im a proud cadet!!!

But, if I decide to go natural, I think I might want to use direct heat. Does contemplation count as being a criminal

OP, thanks for this thread! It's making me feel better about not doing everything I'm supposed to be doing. If it ain't broke, I ain't tryin' to fix it! LOL!

 

[Maracujá]

I've never trimmed my ends erplexed

OT: You have beautiful hair!

 

[Nameless]

I'm probably going to get shot for saying this but I don't see what all the hype about coconut oil is about.
And I don't think I'll try castor oil, it seems too thick.

 

[LABETT]

I use the Blowerdryer frequently my hair does not like airdrying all the time
I lather 3 times with each shampoo wash and clarify every other week.
I use products with sulfates,cones and mineral oil.
I comb my hair every day and use a fine tooth comb to smooth conditioner thru my hair.

I love this thread! Let me see...
I comb twice-3x per day when my hair isn't in spirals or a weave
I lather twice when I shampoo
I'm a slave to my flat iron when I'm more than 6 weeks post
Some of my favorite conditioners have mineral oil in it but I don't care
I use cheapie products because I'm a struggling grad student living off refund checks
BUT I still DC, prepoo and trim as often as necessary..[prepooing as we speak ]
