Easy. You have to make your titles more controversial! Like....

"DCing is pointless." or "Moisture sucks." or "What's the point of baggying?"

When you say...."I have a question....." even people who know the answer won't answer. IDK why this is.

but that's true for everyone.

I know you don't respond to every thread you come across even if you know the answer - no one does - but yall both are up in here :grin:

I must admit some of the responses are shocking. Hearing comments like hair obsessed and shallow?
Simple question ladies. Remember this is a hair growth board hence the reason I asked.

First off, when you start a thread like this..you need thicker skin.

Secondly, I agree 100% with you--this thread is pointless and shallow. Our country is in an economic crises and all we can do is question hair? :nono:

Lastly, You are right--this is a hair board, but as members we should make an attempt at being a little more reflective about the hair topics we address.

And here I am thinking that I shouldn't start too many threads for fear of asking/saying something stupid...I guess anything goes.

:lol: Here, you can have this one :pop:. I really can't eat anything other than pudding, applesauce, noodles, etc because I got my tongue pierced Friday night. If I can find a straw, I take a beer if someone has one.:beer::grin:

Noooo straw... sucking and new tongue piercing = Nono....

I only know this from hearing about it, not because I tried to get a frappuccino right afterward and hurt myself or anything. :look:

No comment on anything else. :nono:
 
I don't know...I wouldn't want someone asking about my daughter length or assuming its not being cared for. I had this lady at work who keeps making comments on how I should go to a stylist and if I'm just going to wear buns and ponytails I should just cut off my hair. asking why don't I get a perm and saying she rather be bald than wear a ponytail...and she is near bald anyhow. But things like that annoy me everyone should freely wear their hair however they want to styled or not thats why it is thier hair. Some women think that black hair has to be professionaly styled to look good but I don't. Everytime I've gone to a stylist I had to nurse burnt sections of hair back to health. Not saying all stylist are bad but whats wrong with just being a kid?

With top stylists available to them how come their hair isn't longer? Most of us on the boards at that age can all vouch for longer tresses and we had kitchen beauticians ( our moms) doing our hair.

I know of something, but I'm just not gonna tell you. :look:

I like aubrey organics B5 gel. It has moisturizers/light protein/light oils in it and it gives light hold.
 
I would have given anything to have been blessed with a beautiful head of hair like Sasha and Mahlia at that age and I can only hope and pray that God blesses me with a daughter with hair like they have.
 
Unbelievable!!!! LOL....Maybe their hair is right where it is supposed to be for now....as long as it is healthy....
 
I have no idea to answer the question, but I am just happy that their hair is not dry looking, broken off with MIA hairlines. It looks pretty healthy to me, and maybe they have SHS, that like to trim every time they get it straightered.
 
I doubt that "top stylists" will be doing the girls' hair anyway. Remember that their parents' goal is to keep their lives as normal as possible.

During the campaign, I read an article in which Michelle discussed the "circle of friends" who stepped up to care for the children when she was away campaigning. Obviously her mother was one, but there were also a couple of ladies who helped out -- she specifically mentioned one who did the girls' hair. A friend, not a stylist. Grandma also can do the girls' hair - maybe she likes doing it. Who knows? Heck, she'll have a salon accessible inside the WH, so it'll be easier to wash their hair than bending them over the kitchen sink back in Chicago....
 
Little girls with long hair can be a lot of work.She just turned 4. My daughter has waist length hair when stretched but, I am only going to let it grow to a certain point( probably TB). After that I will have to cut it to keep it at a certain length. It is just too much!

My thoughts exactly. No offense to whoever *Q* is, but I'm sure Michelle had a lot more important things on her plate than to study hair tips on LHCF all day. ~sidenote~ Their hair is beautiful and healthy.

Trust me, I do too which is evident by the fact that folks are asking who I am. So yes besides my dh, the Supremes, school, work, and volunteering, I don't study anything besides my books. I am rarely on this side of the board anyway. Q
HoneyDew said:
How Que and her girls get involved in this? :lol:

I want her to come in here and comment. :lol:

Anyway, I agree with the person that stated - Hair obsession gone too far.

They are beautiful little girls. With great hair. And they have a lot more to worry about growing up in the public eye, than if they have hair longer than APL, a standard that so few feel is really important.


I think we get on this board and see the love and desire for long hair by so many, which is great because this is the place for that kind of indulgence. But I think some forget that in real life, hair really is not that serious to most people.

I saw it. I get what she was trying to say. No biggie. Q

Are we really criticizing a 7 and a 9 year old girl's hair? I mean, are you really? Believe it or not, a 7 and 9 year old should not be concerned about whether or not their hair is past APL. They should be concerned about being little girls, and in my opinion, I think that obsession with such things at that age is not appropriate.

In addition, Michelle, being a working mother, a lawyer, wife to such an accomplished man, I doubt that her priorities include the length of her children's hair. She has done a MARVELOUS job at doing what she is supposed to do, which is raise some beautiful and refined children. Have you seen the older daughter, have you really ever looked at her. She is already a president's daughter. She is so refined, sits up straight, and is already a beautiful young lady. It is impressive. Michelle is not a stupid woman, she has her priorities straight. Many of us black women need to emulate her and the example that she has set for her two daughters. And trust me, it aint about their hair.

I myself, went to one of the top 5 schools in the country. Went to one of the top twenty med schools, and frankly, my hair was not a priority when I was in school. Now that i am done, I have time to dedicate to it. Trust me, the Obamas have their priorities straight, they have their stuff together, so don't anyone wonder about their hair cause if they dont care, then frankly, we shouldn't.
 
Maybe Barack and Michelle don't want their hair too long. It's probably difficult enough for them to style all the hair they already have, and kids their age usually aren't willing to take care of lengthy hair so shorter hair is easier to maintain. And they are just kids right now. If they want long hair they have plenty of time to decide that for themselves in the future :yep:.

P.S. Even though their hair isn't long by most LHCF'ers standards, their hair is most definitely longer than what is the norm for AA women and little girls today.

Yep, they just need a reason.

Pretty much. And, then have the audacity to say that they are not catty.:perplexed

Reality check people:

The Obamas is not your family. Barack is not your homie-lover-friend. You do not know him or his children. And, I don't mean to be rude, but some of y'all need a big dose of STFU. Please don't make me remind you of the MLK children fiasco and how folks on this board were ready to put the one of the greatest leader's on earth's offspring through the ringamaroe. Y'all talked about their love affairs, why it took this son so long to get married, how you heard about his 7-11th child's bastard baby and blah de blah.

And I WISH someone would come up in here with that "I don't talk about babies." You were saying all that when you were ripping Heidi Klum and Seal a new one, or Kobe's wife, or any other biracial, tri-racial, quadroon kids to shreads.


I swear...

OP, grow a backbone and hand them their own arses on a platter. She just asked a danggone question, and I've seen dumber things from other folk's keystrokes.
