My Hair Confessional

[robot.]

I have NEVER voiced criticism about people and challenges, but why would someone who is THREE (3) inches from APL (took 2 yrs to get this far) then enter a waistlength in 2010 challenge (it was NOT on LHCF)

Hope springs eternal but dawg!!!

OK I'll be silent again!!!

I got 1...

So, I love my moms & sis to death but...I hate when they use my products . They are so heavy handed & shoot...this stuff don't grow on trees

Moms, Sis...please do not use my hair stuff if u gonna use half the bottle & then don't even follow directions to use it right

They think I'm crazy (well at least my mom does) when I walk around the house or sleep with my baggy on or dc my hair...my mom relaxes her dang hair every friggin month & then tries to get on me for waiting past 2 months...

I have one of those old school mamas who think "black hair" don't grow and


All I can do is and patiently wait for the day when I can have them like :wow: :realitycheck:

i'm glad my mom thinks i'm crazy for all my hair stuff because i usually end up smelling like cake batter. i wouldn't mind sharing with her, but she's got her own stuff, and hair stuff you buy online is different from stuff you buy in the store... it's sacred. lol.

Yeah, my mom def thinks I'm crazy and I don't mind sharing but she uses so much & then she uses it wrong, like she'll use my keracare super reconstructor as a regular rinse out conditioner

When my BF calls me and asks me what I'm doing, I usually lie instead of telling him i'm on LHCF or some other hair related site.

I stopped taking multi-vitamins because I was convinced it was making my hair shed excessively. The shedding stopped once I stopped taking them.

When I was in elementary school, I wanted to marry a boy with curly hair so my kids could have curly like my cousin. But now I feel guilty about that since by BF has curly hair. That's not the only reason I want to marry him and have kids, lol!!

I absolutely hate wearing my hair in a bun because I think it makes me look homely. BUT, I'm committed to doing that this January and February after the damage I did to my hair last winter.

My hair grew to pretty much APL without me taking care of it a few years back. So i'm sure I can get it even longer now and I can't wait until its ridiculously long so people with will hate my long luxurious hair! Hopefully I won't get the itch to cut it, which usually happens about once a year.

My aunt is like that with my products. I think she might be stealing some and putting it into a separate container! I just offer to do her hair for her so that i'll at least know how much is being used in her hair and not mine!

(I'm still on vacation but)

...I have decided to transition to natural. :blush3: I have been natural twice in my life prior to LHCF and I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I got to a BAA twice before I gave in to a relaxer because I wanted that "straight" look. If I'd had only known that with the correct flat irons I could have gotten that look without the chemicals.

The last times I did it I BC, but DH isn't for that even though when we met I had a TWA.

I've decided to try transitioning for the first time and go for 12 months. I will use weaves and wigs to help me with this. I will cut off the relaxer next January.

I have been thinking about this since I joined LHCF and learned all the things I could have been doing. I just didn't want to cut again Oh well. When you dream about going natural you know you've subconsciously already made the decision.

Yay me!

Sorry for the long post I just wanted to confess it all (before I chicken out and change my mind)

 

[Curlybeauty]

I'm so in love with my newly relaxed hair!!! Even if the relaxer didnt really take lol and I ended up with more manageable natural texture...but I can rollerset!!!! kind of atleast...

If and when I go natural again, I think I might try locs...

Now that I have a perm, and have officially started my HHJ, I wonder how long it's going to take to grow my hair longer than my friends...

So glad my desperately needed trim left me with more hair than I thought...

ETA I want to start a thread about my new hair and all that jazz, but for some reason, nobody ever comments on my threads the way I want them too...

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

I confess that I want to skip my next class and DC my hair instead.

I also confess that I desperately want to buy something. I'm not supposed to buy, but all thangs be callingg meeee...I got to go to them!!! (in Pookie voice)
I want to just go to Sally's and buy errydamnthang. I don't know why, I just do.

Thats so funny! People always refer to a relaxer as creamy crack, but for real when your on pj status there doesnt even have to be a reason or a need for it, you just start buy stuff, then wonder why you have all these products in you bathroom staring at you.....oh well the life of a pj i guess....lol

Totally agree on all points here.

I was making great progress, and then, for some stupid arse reason, I decided to wear my hair out, like, EVERYDAY for several weeks after I got a relaxer. The result? Messed up ends and a damn 1.5 inch haircut to even out the damage. UGH!!!!

I don't like wearing my bun, but I gotta do what I gotta do. I allow myself the chance to wear my hair out once or twice a week, and definitely when I go for a night out with my boyfriend. Lucky for me that man still thinks I'm hot even when I'm rocking big ol' magnetic rollers.

 

[Marie_Star]

I'm sure I could up my grades if all the time I spent doing my hair, thinking about my hair and browsing hair sites was time spent studying instead

 

[OhSoOthentik]

I am kind of tired of people assuming that I am locing my hair when I wear my small two strand twist.

I have a broken heart right now, but my hair and body are benefiting from it because I have been working out and twisting my hair to distract myself.

Lately, I have been getting irritated with women who neglect their hair (as if it's my business what they do).

 

[HollyGolightly]

I love my hair too much. I keep thinking it's all gonna fall out to punish me for my vanity!

 

[melissa-bee]

I bought what is known to be jherri curl juice to aid me in my braid-outs. I pulled a knot off my hair caused by me not undoing the braid from the very tip. I broke a lot of hair rebraiding the hair for the night.

 

[lana]

I keep telling my husband I only want to reach bra-strap, when I really want to reach MBL and would love to see what I look like even longer (lol). I'm about an inch away from bra-strap but I promised "us" that I would blunt cut the ends right below bra strap and then maintain that length. That might not happen. (lol)

My friend is trying to transition and I'm secretly happy she's going to struggle with going natural. She never listens to any hair advice I give her even though she loves how long and thick my hair is. She only listens to her stylists and pays for it with thin hair, breakage and now a demarcation line from bone straight relaxers and natural hair...I really don't feel sorry for her. So I've decided to stop thinking about her hair progress.... I even told her about the hair boards and she just said, "that's too much work". Okay then...hope it works out for you.

My husband calls me that long hair chick to be funny and I laugh but secretly I'm dancing a jig inside, cause he hasn't see anything yet!

 

[BeautifulFlower]

I am a very inconsistent DC'r w/ heat. Like I can count on one hand (and not the whole hand) how many times I have DC'd in the past year.

I like to put it in, let it sit for a few mins or so, and rinse.

 

[BronzyBella]

I haven't told certain people (friends) that I'm thinking of going natural because I don't want whatever they have to say affecting my thoughts/decision. Also, I'd like to grow my natural hair long and I don't want them commenting on/watching the growth rate either.

My mom and sister exactly Ill be glad to show them my hair too

 

[halee_J]

Controversy or not, Shima has one of the most beautiful heads of hair I've ever seen.......

I am NOT trying to resurrect the Shima spirit

ETA: Why the frigg my mother can't go out and buy her own damn salerm 21? she finished the GIANT tube in like what 3 weeks? aaargh. Is she drinking it? and she was dipping in my ORS repleneshing stash...the OLD FORMULA!!!! that istuff is soooo hard to find, I was savoring it *sigh* of all the 50-11 cons i have there she gotta mess with that one. Then she gon criticize how often I do stuff to my hair. She my momma but gosh... sometimes...whew lawd she drives me crazy.

 

[PJaye]

I confess to coveting straight hair. I am really tired of wearing this bootleg Ice-T ponytail.

 

[Geminigirl]

I am so sick of people(my mom) not listening to me about simple haircare practices.

I DON'T, DO NOT want to braid my sister's hair. I hate braiding and when I was done with my hair last time I vowed to never do it again. Braiding is tedious work and commitment that I only want to vow to myself.

Even though I am sick of braids and don't want to braid other people's hair I can't help but think how I am going to keep my hair protected this winter, and all I come up with is BRAIDS.

Why not try a wig or a half wig? Its easy and you can still have acess to your hair to wash and condition

 

[Geminigirl]

I'm scared of looking wig-gy. And I can't think of any half wigs that would match my type 4 hair.

I was too @ first. But there are alot of nice ones. Ive seen quite a few type 4 textured ones too.Plus you can customize them. Some ppl even make their own. Check out the half wig gallery thread

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=425568&highlight=half+wig+gallery

There are alot of sites to order from. You might also find something in your local BSS

 

[BrownSkinQT]

I need a hair friend too. Its really getting bad I can't talk about things without me relating it to hair. I miss Tennessee, I had hair friends there.

Well I'm in Denver if it means anything.....I'm in need of a hair friend to because i get tired of explaining things to people about hair. I want someone who automatically knows what I mean when I say I'm a 4b, nl, and I like to dc often and do acv rinses.

 

[PPGbubbles]

My local BSS is out of the hair I needed for my weave and im not sad!!!

I am low key dreading weaving up my hair because im falling in love with it.

the owner plans on getting a shippment in the next 2weeks so I am happy that I will have a little more time with my hair I still plan to PS but I just like having access to my scalp!!!!

*another confession! Im super excited that one of my challenges have a length check coming up in a few days! I have been dying to use my sedu!!!!

 

[GodsGrace]

I hate that the longer my hair gets, the more tangled it gets, no matter how careful I am, and that only when I cut it does it seem to behave. I'm mad that I cannot for the life of me replicate whatever the hair dresser did at home. I wish that I was more creative with my hairstyles. Can you tell I'm not having a good hair week? *le sigh*

 

[Triniwegian]

I am a daydreamer by nature.
But I don't dream about being rich or lounging in some tropical Island.
I dream about having waist length hair, flowing in the wind...sigh...

 

[casey3035]

My confession is I am soooooo jelouse of my sisters hair.I really wish I did not have 4b hair so that I could transition as easy as her.She combs through her hair after 6 months post and her hair is so nice and soft.I cant comb my hair past 2.5 months post-it hurts so bad if I do and my hair will pop out.
My sisters has my dads hair and I have my moms.My sister can grow her hair out with pure neglect while I have to do this that and the other...Sometimes-naw-all the time I wish I had her hair!
