I finally have a decent pony tail and I love.. I mean LOOOOVE swishing it back and forth on the back on my neck. Yes, I look retarted doing it but its an awesome feeling.

I also collect pictures of hair inspirations whether its a celeb or average person. I keep them in a folder on my computer & look at them every once in a while longing for that hair.

Yesterday though, I admired my own. I got one of those "dang my hair is pretty" moments.

Thanks Exoticmommie!
I have hair anorexia. It is longer than it's ever been. but still just grazing bsb in the back and apl in front. I am on a personal challenge to grow my hair longer than a gal at my job (she doesn't know it though). She's been about apl since I've known her (rarely wears it out, but it hasn't gotten longer though it's heck a thick!)
Asside from a few weave checks (no touches, just comments like "I thought you were wearin a wig.") I haven't gotten the attention the ladies here have. On the other hand, I do notice the black guys at my job giving me an extra look and brighter "Good Mornings" of late.

Oh yeah I forgot...

I was giving my sweetie a massage with his shirt off...

then I flipped my hair over and kept running it across his back..back and forth..

up and down....


Ok its weird being at his booty but anyways...


He loves it

How'd you know?

Well there was the one time I went to a party and there was this one delicious lookin brotha that all the girls at the event were staring at....well I walked up to him and started conversation, amung other things he complimented me on my hair, when I told him it was mine he was like can I touch?!?! In amazement I was just like *shrugs* sure why not? He ran his hands thru my hair for the remainder of the party and just flirted & had deep conversation the rest of the night.....BOY was I getting side-eye the rest of the night from the women at that event!

Theres this one perfect guy I dated he's model handsome in terms of looks, he's successful, intelligent and worldly, but I threw some things out there on the first date to see how he felt about it......eventually we got on the topic of hair and I said to him you know my hair is straight right now but I'm actually natural, sometimes I like to wear my hair in a huge fro.....before I could finish he was like "seriously?!?! I *LOVE* afro's they're sooooo sexy!" I was like:blush3:

Alot of guys when they try to holla as I'm walking down the street and I'm not payin them any mind or if there are other ladies getting gassed they'll be like no! The caramel one with the long hair! and I'm just like

Absolutely, they treat me like this amazing exception to everything they thought they knew about black girls. I definitely get treated differently, its like they're fascinated by me lol between my booty and the long hair I got em wrapped around my pinky finger...I'm the worst lol

I dunno, I get alot of approaches from men of other races when my hair is straightened and my length is showing, I think to them the long hair on a black girl combined with my body shape makes me look more exotic to them....but they don't go as gaga over it as Black men thats for sure. I totally agree with you, as soon as we can get the word out to most sista's about how to care for their hair properly and grow it out, between our curves, thick lips and gorgeous array of skin tones we could TAKE OVA!!!

Maybe we could get some LHCF t-shirts that say "TAKIN OVA!!" LOL!!!

Oh and the odd times in public when I just felt like acting a fool, I would pretend to be frustrated at something and rake my fingers through the front....because you know....I was just soooooo "exasperated"


HA! THIS IS MY DREAM!! TO BE "EXASPERATED" AND DO THAT FINGER COMB THROUGH! Only the "REAL DEAL" can pull that off!!

***exits thread to practice visualization techniques of hair growing***

 

[LadyPaniolo]

I am loving this thread. This is what LHCF is truly about! There are so many petty squabbles and catfights going on that lately I've been wanting to stop posting. I'm really enjoying that we can inspire each other and share our hopes for long hair together

 

[hairaboutit]

Girl i used to work it when my hair was APL...before LHCF...i used to go to the salon and get these curls all over the top of my head....and they were burgundy...i love color rinses...and walk through the mall like a model...you know how they step hard enough to make everything bounce?

Heads would turn HARD!!...I shoulda passed out neckbraces as i walked by!

Neckbraces!!! Love it!

 

[beans4reezy]

Doin' da bump!

 

[twists]

This thread is giving me a bittersweet feeling...I'm just eating up all of these stories and I love them..but then, i'm noticing that these stories are making me extremely impatient lol...I started doing well with just sitting back and allowing my hair to grow..but now, im just like GROWWWWWWWWW!! lol...but it's okay "this too shall pass"

Be glad that you guys are a wonderful exception because for many of us Pink Moisturizer eats our hair up it's like a perfect storm of standard ingredients found in subpar products.

BUT like you said...it's always a matter of what works for your hair specifically....cause while many people love extra virgin coconut oil my protein sensitive hair is like :eatme: when i even think of sealing with it.

I think the pink stuff gets a particular bad rap tho cause when some people think back to their younger, folicle challenged days of wishing they could grow out their hair (before they realized it was possible)...there always seemed to be a bottle of Pink moisturizer suspiciously lurking around somewhere during those flashbacks.

So it's just got a negative connotation in general and kinda become a poster child for products.

I love that chick's pocohantas braids! And I used that pink stuff for years when I wore long french braids everyday in high school. . My hair loved it. I'm still not so sure what's so bad about it. I know mineral oil but I use other stuff that has it too and not been affected.

Yeah my daughters 3c hair LOVES LOVES LOVES proclaim olive oil moisturizer, it has tons of petroleum and mineral oil. I tried the organic route with them, and their hair just laughed at the coconut oil, olive oil and kids organics. I think it's because their is hair is thirsty just like their dad , same hair type and all. Plus it is extremely dry here. His hair laughed at the aloe vera gel, rose water and oils as well. oke:His hair loves eco styler and cheap conditioners for moisturizers, he just uses the oils for shine. Different strokes for different folks.

Yeah ITA, my hair hates that stuff. It's loves all kinds of oils. But the pink stuff and what I use on my dd's hair just sits on top of my hair, and usually ends up on my face some how causing lots of acne.




More hairgasmic stories please....

So today i went mall hopping with my bff. I went to chill at her house before we went tho and her mom asked me like 5 times what i do to my hair to get it so long

I hadn't seen my friend in a while bc she lives like an hour away from me and her schedule keeps her busy...so the last time her mom had seen me, my hair was like a lil past BSL...just reaching MBL-ish....now its a lil past MBL

SO...i was getting out the car when i first pulled up and my bff was like....GIRL!!! That's a weave?!?! Because i had just dyed it Vampire Red again yesterday and the bangs...but she knows my hair is long...she was jus messin wit me.

She jokingly called me conceited bc i kept flipping my hair back!!!!!

I told her mom that i do alot to my hair. It's not just one hair product responsible for my growth...it's the whole nurturing thing. It's really like a pet!

 

[SmilingElephant]

Okay...do you ever get stumped tho when ppl ask you what you do to your hair?

My brain is like...okay...how can make this short and sweet and straight to the point?
