i never want to relax again! :]
 
~Be *thinking* about going natural instead of just doing it
~Not have 3 daughters who take so much pride in growing and caring for their natural hair
~Have hair that's currently the longest it's been since I was a kid (and I just bc'd in May!)

Thank God for LHCF!
 
With out LHCF I would:

- Have probably given up being a DIYer and gone back to the salon
- Never worn a wig
- Never put jherri curl juice in my hair
- Never properly DC my hair
- Never known about ceramides
- Still be fumbling around tryna figure out why some products work and others don't
- Not have 50-11 conditioners in my bathroom
- Never tried henna
- Still thinking that getting my hair back to MBL is a pipe dream
- Never figured out that hard water affected my hair
- Never known about porosity
 
....have no nape
....have messed up edges
....be dependent on my stylist
....wouldn't even be thinking of reaching WL

This forum is a Godsend :yep:
 
"Without LHCF I would probably...."

be dependent on braids, weaves and phony ponies. Before LHCF I didn't know how to style my own hair and have it look salon quality. I knew how to make weaves look great but I was clueless about my own hair. Once I learned how to style my own hair and maintain its health I abandoned the weaves.
 
Without LHCF I would probably....

Have the back of my hair still be broken
Not look after my hair properly
Have dry hair, split and frizzy ends
Not be able to look after my hair
Would not appreciate my NG
Would never taken so many vitamins that is good for my hair and my body
Learn about so many products and what the hair needs (protein, moisture, sealing)
Would never DC, prepoo, CO.
Would never use indian hair products
Would not be below should length and so close to APL.
Would be still believing AA hair can not grow.
Would not be on LHCF so many hours in the day and night
Would not know all these hair terms like
CON, DC, EVCO, CO, NTM, MT, MN, JBCO, SMH, KIM...

I am so glad LHCF is here and I stumbled upon it, thank you sisters who lead the way, the sisters of today and tommorrow!
 
Probably still going to the hair dresser every week. Spending MONEY, money ....money and mo money.

Using heat and a small teeth comb weekly on my daughters natural hair and no deep conditioning and wondering why her hair won't grow.
 
...be bald headed and snaggletoothed. :lachen: Well maybe not snaggletoothed or bald headed. I mean I would still have hair, but I wouldn't have hope. LHCF allowed me to see that it's possible to grow my hair to unimaginable lengths and keep it at optimum health. The positivity, encouragement, comradery, stories, pics, experience, word of mouth, product reviews, etc... I LOVE IT HERE!!!
 
nice thread :yep:

let's see
.....never have gone natural, EVER (not natural anymore, and i wasn't on LHCF yet but my sis was and she was forever telling me about it)
.....never use conditioner
.....wash my hair once in a blue moon
.....relax my hair from root to tip everytime i relax it
.....never would've thought me, myself and i could grow hair at least to bsl
.....thought black people's hair didn't grow
.....would not know what to do to moisturize my hair
.....never would have purchased so many goshdarn products, lol

and the list goes on and on and on and on, :lol:
 
-be getting frequent trims (more like hair cuts) every relaxer
-be using my good ole flat iron at least once a week
-spending my hard earned money at salons
 
I'd have ear length hair.
I'd still have a bald spot.
I woudn't have enough confidence to change a few more things in my life.
