Gabrielle Union is posting pics of her hair on twitter

[Boujoichic]

Gabby is beautiful! But I think the hair snob in me just can't praise her hair LOL it does look thick tho

ETA: to the APL ladies please don't get offended. When my hair was APL you couldn't tell me NUTHIN! I was happy as heck! Don't take these posts the wrong way.

No offense taken I just made Apl and nobody can tell me nothing really doesn't matter to me if others are impressed (I am). I was walking round for the week I had my hair flatironed like I had my own theme song playing in the background shoot I had wind in my hair when there was no wind lmao.

But on the subject her hair looks nice to me so I say Congrats to her on making APL. I also hope that ladies are going to continue sharing their progress when they make APL or SL because darn it I likes me some hair porn and I will be sure to post my congratulations on your thread.

It will take me some time to get through this entire thread, but after reading just 3 pages, I'm kinda shocked.

Okay, so the caption she added was unnecessary, however, so were some of the snarky comments? I mean, I just feel kinda blown away by some of the comments because I've been on LHCF for idk how many years and I *personally* think that having H-E-A-L-T-H-Y APL hair (HEALTHY HAIR AT ANY LENGTH REALLY) is something to be super happy about. Maybe she posted those pics because as some stated, other women in that career in her place aren't so lucky. And I sure as hell know that there are still A TON of black women out there who do not have hair that is healthy or long.

I just feel it's wrong to put her progress/hair pics down because of all the great lengths and knowledge we know about here. Since when do we have a right to say that what she's attainted ain't ish?! As long as it's significant to her and it's healthy, good for her. I'm sure as hell not gonna put her down cuz I know how hard/long/how much work it takes to grow long healthy hair. Even if I was just shoulder length, if it's healthy and better than what I previously had THEN THAT'S SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE. Excuse me if my hair aint down to my waist or ***, but I didn't post the picture FOR YOU.

(This post isnt targeted to anyone but jeez louise, I feel so heated at how catty some women could be. Unless you knew FOR A FACT that she posted those pics/that caption with bad or catty intent, CHECK YA SELF.)

When she says "no relaxer" I'm thinking she means that she hasn't had a touch up. A lot of women will say they don't have a relaxer if they haven't had one on awhile...as for her hair overall, it's ok...as long as she's happy with it and I'm sure many women were impressed

I read a while back in a magazine article that she doesn't get relaxers, she is natural.

Congratulations to Gabby for her hair progress. I dont know why people have such negative comment- even for those who are waistlength- you didn't get there over night didn't you have to get to APL first? Or did you just wake up with it?

Plus- not everyone wants super long hair and lets not forget Gabby isn't short she's 5'8'' so APL on a tall girl ain't nothing to turn your nose up to. Tis all.

 

[dollface0023]

Hahahaha so Gaby's pics got on Black Voices...peep the first comment.

It took me waaay too long to read that. Poor girl...

 

[IMFOCSD]

Hmm, i bet if Gabby would have know that her picture and her saying she doesn't use hot combs would cause so many negative remarks...i bet she would have never put the picture up smh...only on lhcf.

I have a feeling that if she were a member here with natural hair apl or beyond and took that same pic w/the same words added she would be getn mad props instead of so much negativity..

Do you Gabby! Keep representing for us black women.

Lynnerie :right!!???

Was your theme song anything like the music of shaft? Sooooo would be mine :-/

 

[MsLi@512]

ooooooh kaaaay
#fml ***throws self into a vat of AOHC***

[NikStarrr]

I can't believe this thread blew up the way it did. lol

For the record, I think APL is a big milestone--at least it was for me. Don't let anyone tell you it's not a big deal.

 

[IMFOCSD]

To all you extreme hair snobs...ya betta humble yaself before ya hair start fallin out from the roots unexpectedly....God don't like ugly....jussayin..

 

[GraceV]

LHCF NEVER disappoints! I read the first page of posts and was like "okay, good for Gabby. Lemme head on to the last page cos there's bound to be some drama in this thread." I see there is

*Off to read the juicy drama-filled posts in between*
