Hair Envy

[Country gal]

Do you ever suffer from Hair Envy? I did this weekend. I was doing my cousin's hair in two strand twists. Her hair was so soft, wavy and it felt like silk. For the first time, I really was wondering why I got the almond shaped eyes but not the hair that my younger cousins have.

I think every woman has something beautiful. I got the beautiful hair & my sis got the beautiful hazel cat eyes. I forgot to say this is according to my momma.

Yes, I love my daughters hair. It's long, thick, 3b, and nautral. It's too much hair for her, but not for me.

I love my hair thick 4b hair. Just wish it was longer.

Yes, I really admire some women's hair. I try not to be envious though because they probably take good care of it and have good genes.

I would not say I envy them, for me it ends up being more of a reality check by reminding me how much more I have to go and it encorages me to step it up a notch.

ITA. And it makes me think wow.. if they can work hard and do it, what's stopping me? It's very motivating. I saw a girl in my class and she always wore simple plain braids for the longest while- probably years-- never wore her hair out. Today, she came to class and her hair was silky and mid-back if not longer. I was like I always thought she had no hair and was using the braids to cover that up. OHH how WRONG I was!! I only thought the LCHF ladies knew to use that as a protective style. I'll never pre-judge again!!! I could NOT stop staring at her hair!!! It was gorgeous and healthy!!! It made me really happy to see another sista flaunting beautiful hair that everyone else (incl. me) thought was not there. Anyway, it enouraged me to keep doing what I was doing even though it may not be the best looking or most trendiest style no matter what anyone thinks b/c my hair will definitely thank me in the end for it.

I saw this woman today with the cutest shade of strawberry blonde (looked like the natural color) hair and big thick curls. I wouldn't say I envied her, but she has VERY cute hair.

I'm not one who feels envy very often. Most of the time I admire what people have.

but

I will ALWAYS envy Sherrylove

I envy my daughter's waist length hair... she's my hair idol!!!

My mom has two sisters and they each had one daughter. So us three daughters are first cousins. One is dark brown-skinned with very thick, just below shoulder-length hair, the other is medium brown-skinned with thin (but healthy) bra-strap to waist-length hair, and I am light-skinned and have not been able to reach shoulder-length (naturally) since I was a little girl. My hair is thick but not as thick as my cousin's. I mentioned our skintones because I always thought it was interesting that our skin-tones and hair were all so different. Anyway, I don't think I was ever jealous but I always wondered why oh why couldn't I have long hair too. I don't think I even ever let myself accept how much this bothered me. Hopefully with the help of LHCF I will finally reach a length I can be proud of.

Cousins don't have to look like eachother, afterall you've all had separate genes (the uncles) mixed in with your mother's side.

i ADMIRE this girl's hair from school. She has the ultimate length I want, and the thickness I would like to have, but that's probably not realistic. Her hair is a few inches from waist in a U-shape. I think she maintains her hair at that length. I sort of envied her hair for a while, because we started at the same length in 9th grade, and about four years later, look where she is, and look where I'm at but I realize I can do it too

i'm just hoping I can get to her length by the time I graduate so that i'll wear it down and SECRETLY compare our lengths and prove the other ppl wrong, and swing it for myself. I'd be so proud and happy!

I know what ya mean. I am surrounded by the beautiful waist length spirals of my daughter and sister. I love those curls. But I'm beginning to like my hair the way it is.

Your daughter has really pretty hair. Your hair is very pretty too. Almost had me reaching for the pressing comb after the last meeting.

Thanks girl, and I love your natural hair!

Thank you. I was tempted to straighten my hair after seeing your waves.
