Hubby's Hair Tips/Knowledge

[Sade']

My DH always pauses movies that we are watching so that I can get my scarf or bonnet. He can sense when I am getting to comfy or sleepy. He knows I just can't lie around on pillows and such w/o it.
He keeps the windows up in the car so my hair won't blow.
He KNOWS how important my hair is to me.
Once I told him I was thinking about getting color, he said NO b/c u don't want your hair to get damaged and break off.
When I got my new sew in he sent pics around to people in his office saying how pretty I looked LOLOL I just hope he didn't tell them it was FAKE HAIR!

Aw I want a DH - that is sooooo sweet and considerate and thoughtful and loving. And the bragging part - I love it!

Fh knows it all. Moisture and seal. Co washing and deep conditioning. Ladies he is trained. He makes sure his momma sends me JBCO from Jamaica twice a year. He even knows how to roller set and apply a relaxer.

His happiest day is when I went natural. He even had me mixing moisturizer for his co-workers and cousins and put MN in it cause MN is good for fungus ( dandruff).

His aunt asked him recently what texturizer he uses cause he use to have dry beady hair. He said " Im natural, I have learned a good moisturizer does miracles for the hair" I nearly died. He even advised her on what to do.

Yes he knows the difference between moisture and protein and he deep conditions his 1/4 inch of hair weekly.

Not all black women wear wigs or weaves.
Black women can grow their hair long .
Wearing "The mexican mafioso shower cap" helps my hair staying moisturized throughout the night .
Moisturing my ends keeps em healthy and stops split ends (his words)
Avoid flat ironing it will burn your ends and make your hair hard and dry.

I just asked my SO. He said, "Hair is like plants. You have to water it and if you burn it, it wont grow."

DH's advice? "Do something with your hair!"
That's because when I'm at home I undo my bunned, air-dried hair and play in my NG, so I look like a crazy person!

 

[JKSprite]

*You don't have to get a perm every week. You can space it out.

LMAO!!!

 

[D.Lisha]

aww cute stories!!
my bf...smh he doesn't understand talking about "why you alwaiis gotta wear it up alllll the time?" and "why you got alla these high-priced hair conditioners?"
but when I do forget my head scarf he does remind me to put it on so i guess that's a start...

So true!!!
My hair is always messed up in a wild transitioning afro and the only time it's tamed is when I leave the house..

 

[SimJam]

-He knows about the names of length (BSL, APL, etc.) *At one point, he was growing his goatee out and called his length, Bow Tie Length.*

My SO said 'I don't know anything about haircare, I'm a newbie' lol.
He does though, he knows absolutely everything. He cowashes daily, moisturises/seals with coconut oil. He expects too much from growth aids though last night he slathered mega tek all over his face in the hope he would grow a full beard overnight...:crazy:

 

[DarkHair]

My dh knows I love cones when I'm detangling. He says 'Put your bonnet on so you won't break your cones on the pillow'.
When I make runs to the store for more poo and condish, he makes sure to put in a request for Suave Clarifying Conditioner.
He likes to see me mixing my own concoctions.
I've DC'd his hair and facial hair. He likes when his goatee is soffffffftttt!

 

[isioma85]

@ this thread!

My current SO (who's white) always watches me with a childlike amazement when I'm doing all my hair stuff. He watches the YouTube videos with me, sometimes come with me to the Indian Store for my oils. I asked him what he knows about my hair care:

"Oils are good and prevent breakage by keeping your moisture inside.
The less you comb and brush your hair the better.
My cotton pillow case will NOT do. "

 

[jwhitley6]

Why does this thread read like "Kids Say the Darndest Things"?

 

[HERMOM]

DH said we want to have long hair but we cannot let anyone see it else it breaks off.

 

[Blkrose]

this is so funny.

just recently my b/f asked me which is the best oil for his hair. I told him he could use some of my whipped shea butter that I leave by his place ... then he was like "oh ok 'cause I tried it last week and I've been using it in my hair, but I normally see u using it on your body so i was just wondering " LOLOLOL

then he asked me to bring a container of whipped shea butter for him and some JBCO, "the one u fix up, not the stink one" LOL (I add EOs to my JBCO)

you all best believe they been noticing what we doing

ETA: just called him and asked what he has learned

1. you have to detangle in sections
2. sleeping in a silk/satin scarf protects your hair (hes actually offered for me to use one of his football shorts to tie my head once when i forgot my scarf lol)
3. moisture moisture moisture
4. regular shampoos are drying - u have to use the black soap
5. shea butter is good for many things
6. when u go natural you start buying lots of accessories

#2 is so sweet

 

[soonergirl]

Mine says "yall just cant be talking about hair for hours and hours"....ah duh, yeah we can... He goes searching for the aveda shampoo after his weekly haircuts and puts skala leave in and qhemets burdock root butter on each day... He has his own regimine... I watched one day and was amazed...I will ask tomorrow what he has learned, as he is asleep...

 

[ms.swayne]

I love this thread, mine says:
- SLS, mineral oil, petrolatum are bad
-henna dyes your hair
- you have to sleep with a bonnet of a satin pillow

 

[Trini_Chutney]

DH has learned to spot a deal.

They had a sale at the store about 2 months ago, he comes running around the corner with about 5 Vo5 moisture milks in his hands all excited "Look babe! They're 25 cents a piece!!". I LOL'd so damn hard! Then we bought 12 bottles

 

[darlingdiva]

My brother has been observing me, my sister, and his girlfriend on our HHJ. This is what he said (and yes, he was serious!)

-Anything you use in the skillet for oil can be used on hair lol.
-He thought pre-pooing was called poo-pooing.
-He knows about the names of length (BSL, APL, etc.) *At one point, he was growing his goatee out and called his length, Bow Tie Length.*
-Honey isn't for bread, it's for hair.

 

[kandi1280]

OMG I laughed so hard, this thread is hilarious! I asked my fiance yesterday and he said:

1.) Protecting your hair means you wear "that bun" for months. (He HATES the bun)
2.) We always need to have a big bottle of the dark olive oil in the house for your hair and to cook with.
3.) We always need hair milk. He gets the kind we buy in the store, I get the kind you have to order. (meaning he uses the Bio* infusion hair milk we buy at Walgreens and I use KBB or Bee Mine...same with shampoo) **He doesn't understand a little goes a long way and always slathers on waaay too much, and that stuff is expensive!***
4.) When I wash my hair it takes up the whole day.
5.) I need a silky scarf and bonnet to sleep.
6.) If its healthy enough to eat, its healthy enough for hair.

A few months ago he brought home 4 cans of coconut oil when the grocery store was having a sale...2 for the kitchen and 2 for my hair. He also occasionally asks me if I can mix some oils, warm it up and massage his scalp?

This thread is funny

 

[lovelexi]

I laugh at some of the threads where hubbies have incidentally acquired hair knowledge from the wives on the board. I wanted to know if my husband has incidentally learned anything from me as a result of my membership here.

I've posted his "list" below. Please note, some of this stuff is WRONG!

*Just because you're black, you don't have to use black hair products

*If you don't like a product, take it back even if there's half a bottle left.

*If you don't like the way someone does your hair, don't go back to them.

*Don't let other people cut your hair.

*It's okay to go to separate people for your hair and for your eyebrows. Ideally you'd want the same person but it's okay to drive real far to get your eyebrows done if you have to. (I drive a bit out of the way to get my brows done)

*The longer your hair is, the more stuff you'll need and it will take up all the drawer and cabinet space in both bathrooms-don't ask questions

*Don't wash your hair in the morning. Wash it at night so you can wrap it up and have it ready for in the morning.

*You don't have to get a perm every week. You can space it out.

*Y'all talk about more than hair on the hair board.

*No cursing on the hair board

*You have to take naked pictures of your hair. And even though the back of your head looks the same you have to take 5 or 6 pictures of that particular hair style.

Please note that I do not take pictures naked--jeans and bra is standard for me

this is cute...he's learned a lot.

My 16 year old nephew asked me where my coconut oil was the other day because he just washed his hair and needed to lock it. I gave him the craziest look. He says "well I heard you telling Mommy that she should be locking her hair after she washes it so it won't get dry and break off." I just about fell out. He meant seal and not lock but the kid is paying attn!!! And he has GORGEOUS hair too.....makes me sick

OMG! :rofl3: too funny! I have been laughing through this whole thread so far.... But I had to stop for this one....

 

[bryantgurls]

Ok so I told my husband about this thread because it had me rolling... and I just so happened to mention co-washing. He asked me what was co-washing and I told him washing your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo and he's like "O, I thought it meant us washing our hair together"

ETA: Let me add that he says he is gonna BC his beard!

 

[Prettyeyes]

I was discussing the steam feature on the Maxiglide with DH and he said "the steam creates a barrier between the hair and the iron to help prevent heat damage" then he said "Man, I would have never knew what any of that meant before we met, not even what a flatiron is." LOL

 

[Chan_USMC]

-Any new food ingredenant is going on my head.
-perms are bad
-stay moisterized
-If anyone comes at you with a hotcomb *insert karate chop here*
- always wear POLYESTER bonnet at bed time.

Btw he saw this and said I'm a jerk.

 

[lolascurls]

This thread is too funny!
I'm and need to go pee now!

 

[s_terry]

My sweetie

"The more I read on the board the more money that's spent on haircare". He thinks he need to start an anti-pj support group!


Or maybe a support group for "women with hair fetishes".


He's crazy! LOL
