Today I learned the hard way to go light on the hair gel when phony bunning. WOW. My hair already looked like a helmet and felt like one before it dried, and when it was completely dry it looked like sheets of those cellophane noodles you order from the Chinese restaurant were sitting on my hair. So I had to re-wash and re-condition my hair and go LIGHT on the gel. Hard lesson learned. Will not repeat.

The build up in my hair is from the
products that I use to moisturize my hair,
Butters, coconut oil etc. and sweat too..(I go to the gym twice a week0
I should wash my hair more but I'm in kinky twists till
the end of the year and I just redid the front..

Pure laziness on my part..:ohwell:
 
I hurt my arm at work, and i am mad about the limitations of arm movement and what that means to my head....
 
This is a hair confessional thread. It's not a Politically correct hair confessional thread. So let's all stop being so daggone judgmental here.

I confess:

I have a girlfriend with sl hair who tosses it incessantly. She drops her head so that her hair falls like a curtain across her face. I took great pleasure when I finally took my phony pony down to reveal mbl hair. Her mouth fell open and she couldn't take her eyes off of my hair. Needless to say, she stopped tossing that hair as long as my hair was down. But, when I put it back up she went right back to making it do what it do lol!
 
For the first time, my husband was hesitant to give me money and when I took it he said "just don't buy hair stuff with it" my son busted out laughing.....3 days later I bought Phyto Organics Khelate shampoo and Humect. conditioner. :nono::nono::nono:

My hair is beautiful.
 
Confession..

I love it when women rock their TWA's...more power to you!

I've been natural most of my life..I think i've had a relaxer for 4 straight yrs...and now i'm going back to relaxers. Most people will see this as self hate, cowardice, or any toher form of self hate blah blah blah...but that's fine.

I love my natural texture but I love the convenience of relaxers over natural hair. I miss roller sets and going to parties with straight hair and leaving with it straight.

I will probably go back natural when i'm like 30...but until then...i'm okay with going back to relaxers.

I just love pretty heads of hair..no matter what..

I hate it when people try to convince people to go natural or go to relaxers...I feel as if they are forcing their point of views on others. Your passion about hair won't always rub off on others...
 
I've been thinking about relaxing my hair. I know I WON'T but I can't believe I'm even entertaining the thought.

I love my 4b hair but sometimes I do get little pangs in my chest when I see pics of 3c.

I hate the people whose hair is my length or shorter and can do buns but I can't unless I straighten.

I went natural because I thought I would be able to wash n go. FALSE! Wash n go's wreak havoc on my hair.

I went natural because I thought it was be easy breezy to take care of. FALSE!
 
I confess my hair is pretty darn resilient and I never really had to try that hard to retain length.

Before I got to LHCF all I did was shampoo and condition in eight braids with Pantene Pro-v Relaxed and natural almost never DC'd and press and flat iron every week to two weeks, no breaks ever and sleep with a satin scarf for like 4 years straight and I've been btwn APL and BSL for years. Healthier hair practices and reducing heat has helped me got to MBL but it possible I would have gotten here anyhow.

I confess that oftentimes I DC once in a whole month.....and still retain length (I'm working on that and going to up the DCing)

I'm passionate and captivated with natural hair but I'm not obsessed with it, I went out last night with some girlfriends and they were all telling me how much my hair grew I was like really?!?! Genuinely surprised.

I think if its not cut into some kinda style or layered nicely waistlength hair and longer ends up looking cumbersome and sloppy on alot of women.

My twists shrink to shoulderlength or above shoulderlength and sometimes I'm frustrated by that....I really look forward to having APL twists.

I swing my hair ALOT and have zero shame in my game

I frequently give polite unsolicited hair advice and am always encouraged for it, I'm used to people whipping out pen and paper and taking notes.

I recently saw a video of a relaxed hair guru demonstrating proper relaxing technique and quickly came to realize that I am now disturbed by the very notion of relaxing ones hair with a chemical creme....it caught me off guard but I realized I've developed a aversion to the process.

Once I start doing someones hair regularly I pretty much act like I own their hair and scold them if they did something that isnt a healthy hair practice. Ironically people love for me to takeover their haircare probably because I spoil them rotten and they leave me mad conceited cuz they know they look fly.

People text me and call me asking for haircare tips at the most random times and sometimes I'm annoyed by that...most times I'm excited to help but if I'm out doin my thing its just like yea...can I live?

I very often contemplate how cool it would be to just chop all my hair off and start from scratch like so many ladies on here....but then i remember I dont have the cajones.

I'm no longer speaking to one of my cousins partially because she was so paranoid and jealous about me having long hair and that I was somehow going to steal her man away from her. If she ever had an argument with her man (a guy friend of mine that I grew up with and think of as a cousin) she would say why you tawk tuh ha?!?! Is it because she got long hair!?!?! Is it because she skinny??!?! It was a hot mess and a half she was over the top paranoid and delusional and I had to cut her off....it makes me sad because thats my blood but I have a zero tolerance policy for hoodness in my life.

I've noticed that in NYC the more well off and educated black people are the more you'll see natural women.

I wish the whole country could be as eclectic and accepting as NYC is of naturals.

Dang clearly I had some THANGS to confess!:lachen:
 
I got annoyed when my mom, after noticing the thickness of my hair since starting my healthy hair journey, said "it would be so nice if you just straightened it"

I've been donning a super thick cinnabun as my protective style. I am ashamed to confess but I will purposely take off my hood when I get into a store or on the train just to show off the ridiculousness of the bun's thickness.

I don't won't to press my hair, not just because of hair health. I'm willing to wait a year or more just so I can see the look of people's faces when they see my formerly SL hair, swinging and swanging at or below APL.

I sometimes think that when I reach my ultimate goal, BSL, and a sister with a relaxer asks "how did you get your hair so long?". I will reply "my hair could only achieve this length natural, you should give it a thought". when i know full well my relaxed hair grew to APL despite my lack of attention and care. Yes, I'm a die hard natural fan.

As I run my hands through my dry feeling hair, i'm afraid that the winter is going to diminish all my work. i'm off to baggy...
 
i thought i was the only one that was this crazy about hair. my family kinda makes me feel bad for loving my hair so much. they never thought my hair would ever be mbl. but i alwazzz knewwww. i talk to my hair as i comb it. yesterday i ducked under a tree branch and it snaged some strands. i was mad the whole day over one or two strands. my sister thought i was crazy. i love my hair. one church member said. do you love your hair more than jesus? of course not. i know sometimes i need to be reading the word but instaed im typing on lhcf and looking for maxiglides and buying products. and combing hair, and looking at it in mirror. and thinking about when my hair will be wL and smelling it, and feeling it, and putting moisturizer in it. and talking about it, and talking to it, and watching youtube videos about it, and the list goes on and on and on and on and on.........................................and onn
 
Actually, I have when I first started.


WHY YOU MAKING ME ADD SOMETHING TO MY LIST? :|
I knew I shouldve just gotten up and gone to Vitamin shoppe but noooo ... I had to check LHCF for replies! lol

Thank you :)
 
I acted like I was so mad by his ignorance but when my bro looked at my hair n told his gf to try to get hers to grow like mine cuz he likes long hair....I smiled on the inside
 
I confess I find it kinda awkward that upon learning that I'm natural people seem to immediately begin to justify themselves and their reasons why they couldn't go natural: "I would but I wouldn't know what to do" or "my hair is too much to deal with" etc I just kinda stand there like eeeyea I never asked you all that:look:

I confess that I am in love with and honored to have been blessed with this coarse tightly coily hair! Its my playground:love2:

I confess that I very much appreciate the length my hair has now, and know its long, I dont think I really have hair anorexia.....

I confess that when I went over my aunts house for family dinner the other day and she literally paraded me and my longer then ever hair around to show off to people chiming in yes, she's natural and yes its ALL hers! It felt really good she kept bringing it up at random moments.....when I gave her a kiss and hug goodbye she was like "I love you, but I hate you for all that long hair" it was really sweet and made me giggle.

I confess that I come up to almost every nice looking natural head I see and give compliments....I cant help myself!:lol:

I confess that whenever I see a woman with a really short twa, I get inspired and think they look amazing. I always think to myself they're women of strong character to be willing to stand apart in that way....and often wonder how cool it would be to start all over from scratch.

I confess that if you're even remotely a part of my circle and you have a puff....I'll prolly offer to do your hair....I'm outta control:rofl:
 
Thanks! Its one of my most asked about styles, I had a great time with it. I realy hope I can get my tutorials freed from the grips of my broke down old laptop and show yall what I went thru to do that style:rofl:

I L:love:VE your twa Robot!! We have very similar textures! I can't believe how much its grown! Please let me know which brand of silica you're using so I can hurry up and get to waistlength:giggle:

I feel twa length and SL is when you can do a wide range of styles with ease and get really creative:yep:
 
D'aw, thanks, babe. :yep:

And it's funny you should say that - I'm just now, after five months, starting to get into styling my twa. I don't think it's easy, but it not hard either. I can do shingles and comb coils, but two strand twists are a little harder because my hair has no weight to it. But I sometimes practice cornrowing. It's a little tough, but I'm getting better each time. I figure if I learn now while it's difficult, once I get some length, it'll be a breeze. :lol:

I know a girl who has a twa and she keeps her hair styled. It always looks great. I don't like her attitude, so I can't hang around her much, but I think she stays in the salon, though, so it's not really her, but her stylist (who's number i have, thank goodness). Her hair is also a little longer than mine.

And I take Alta Silica that I get from Vitacost (they're the cheapest and have great shipping). :yep: I remember taking it for skin and nails, not my hair and I woke up one day and I was like: ":shocked: where did all this hair come from?!" It gave me a really good boost. And I'm so glad I'm taking pictures because the first few months, my hair wasn't really growing as fast. In the 3rd-4th month (when I had been taking silica for a good few weeks now) I feel like my hair just started sprouting. It was so exciting!

Those are my DH's sentiments also, but not just in NYC (which is my home).. lol.. In his own crazy mind, he thinks naturals a lot of times tend to be more educated. LMBO... This isn't what caused me to transition, and he never expressed this stuff that much until i decided to transition.. LOL. DH is hilarious.

But i was like well dang, what if i decided to go back to relaxed, he was like he wouldn't mind as long as it look good.. but he is just happy i'm going natural. He even gets a little turned off at the idea that i'm considering BKT'ing.. lol..

anyways, i was just sharing. that comment made me think of DH.
