Okay...for once I'm gonna say something serious so clutch your pearls, read and comment intelligently ladies.
Someone sent me a comment saying she couldn't believe there were actually "hair boards" etc. She said it seemed as if it was a bit much to her. While at the time I put her *** on mad blast for messing with me...I'm thinking about it now.
I'm looking at pics of myself and my hair has always been very nice looking. When I wanted it to grow, I didn't cut it. When I wanted to wear it short...I cut it. I used very good products. Simple.
I used common sense about my hair and didn't do anything damaging (helps that I'm very lazy actually...lol). My hair never seemed "thin." I will admit to having my fair share of breakage and even more split ends than I wanted...but for the most part...it looked good. It moved well and had a healthy shine to it.
So now I'm all into "healthy" hair care. Even though stylists have always told me how healthy my hair was. And now...I'm walking around with bags and ish on my hair under a skull and knit cap, or slicked down in a bun looking matronly. No one stops to ask me who does my hair anymore cause they can't even SEE it. And I have to say...I'm not all that cute with my hair all pulled up. (Don't tell anyone I admitted that okay? LOL!) My husband has said at least once..."What are you doing to your hair now?" in an annoyed tone (to which he received some Creole flava directed at him and he hastily retreated...who the hell does the think he is????? okay...off track, off track.)
I guess my question is this...is it REALLY too much? Was that person actually right? Have any of YOU ever felt like maybe you've gone overboard? (And I'm not talking about you Sistaslick with your chemical degree responses...we KNOW you've taken it to another level...lol!)
I"m talking about the rest of us. The ones not necessarily interested in writing a book on hair and who just want healthy, good looking hair they can be proud of on their head. Do you think we've gone overboard? Do you think we should just focus on the common sense principals we've learned here and on other hair boards such as the importance of daily moisture and sealing in the moisture and not using heat everyday, and deep conditioning regularly and not getting a relaxer less than 8 weeks post to curb breakage and be just fine?
Just curious as to whether or not anyone else has wondered this as well. Answers please.
Smooches!

I view this healthcare lifestyle like any other goal that I work toward, and I put my 110% into this and everything that I do, in general. Since Ive set my goal/sights on achieving healthy, thicker, longer hair, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get there. This website is just one avenue needed to reach that goal.... and everyone on here is just as serious about their goals. I belong to other messageboards too, that pertain to my other interests, hobbies, and goals. They all assist in helping me be "the best" at whatever that particular endeavor. Im sure that your friend, or whoever said that, also has goals that are really important to her, that she is willing to work super hard for.... and whose to say that one goal is more important than the next, you know?
