That's why I decided to stop going to the salon. If the "pros" don't think I can have long healthy hair, then they'll have no issues with abusing it . I cringe at the thought...

Exactly. My hair is the longest its been in ages and almost about to be longer than its ever been and I've been mostly doing my own hair for the past year.

I have yet to master a salon quality flat iron tho, so I still go to the salon every few months for a flat iron/trim. Luckily I have met a few stylists that are on the same page as I am and support me in growing my hair out.

Funny thing is there are more stylists and salons springing up these days who say they are all about "healthy hair" (including salons that specialize in natural hair). However, when some of them say healthy hair, they mean healthy short/medium length hair for most people. Most of them still don't believe everyone can have long healthy hair.

*I went to a musical a few weeks ago with my niece. I was so happy that we weren't (for once) the only black folx there! There were so many naturals as well - like my niece. We were doing some serious hair watching! Then I noticed something that made me . All of the naturals we saw had curly puffs! There I was with my relaxed ponytail and I was the one who was "original" and "different"!

*I love cowashing!!!!!

*I've been seeing so many women rockin' some fierce short cuts lately. Made me think about what I'd look like with it.

*I'm jealous of my co-worker. She has BSL relaxed hair that is beautiful and healthy (yep, I touched it with her permission ). By her own admission, she mistreats it and she gets to wear it down every day! Grrrrr!

*Why can't I make it to BSL????

*I can't wait to relax in 2 weeks!

sunnieb 11 days since your last soda?? Congratulations...as I sit here shamelessly sipping on some orange crush with ice...that's why I don't buy the stuff I just can't say NO if it's in my house

 

[youwillrise]

i was applying some aubrey organics hsr, which i havent used it in a few years...and the smell is reminiscent of a relaxer to me for some reason. haha.

Nix08 I can't believe it myself! I was (am?) a soda junkie!:fat: I haven't bought soda for the house in years, but I always found a way to get my fix.

I'm on a mission to get fine before I hit 40, so I had to give it up!

 

[Napp]

i love my hair! i had an unexpected guest and all i had to do was unwrap and finger comb and i looked cute!

 

[youwillrise]

i was going to comb-detangle my hair in the shower when i rinsed my conditioner, but i decided that i want to just use my fingers. haha.

*Congrats @sunnieb for kicking the soda habit. I went a long time, months even, without drinking soda and when I finally broke down and had one, it was like a drug, it kept calling me back. I might be forced to ween myself back off of them because I am starting to suffer from what feels like acid reflux and soda is a for that.

*Missing my hair steamer as I sit under the hot behind, not to mention, loud hooded dryer to DC

*Me thinks I should have clarified because my hair feels weird - will see how it turns out before I jump to conclusion

*Love doing my hair and seeing no breakage

*Need @Nix08 to fly to FL to give me a wet assessment tutorial

*@sunnieb - I swear you seem BSL already; are you sure that you are not? (honestly)

 

[Wildchild453]

Why is Camden-Grey's shipping so damn high?

 

[newnyer]

Imani I totallly agree. I used to sing praises about my old stylist back in the day because she kept my hair looking healthy and full...but she also kept it short. And when I had to trim or had breakage she never really told me ways to stop it (PS? Moisturize @ home? Good detangling process? Stretch relaxers a little more?) Nope- her answer was always that I needed to come to her more often & that some folks "just can't grow hair past a certain length" while still looking healthy. Smdh...I actually fell for it until I started coming to this site. I'm still grateful to her for having my hair, although always cut short, looking fly all those years. But I can't WAIT to pop in to say hi to her with my hair swangin' once I reach my hair goals. #sticksouttongue. Lol

When I first started with LHCF, I was loading conditioners and oil on my hair as a prepoo or deep conditioner. But I now realized this year less is more for me. Since I have decreased the amount of oil I use for a prepoo and my deep conditioners, making sure to wash every trace of it out of my hair and I swear my hair looks and feels thicker.

Oh yeah, I have had my heating cap since 1987 and it still works perfectly.

 

[SuchaLady]

My roommates hair is the ish! It is almost to her butt and she is relaxed.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

I swear it has taken many products but I have finally I think found the products that make me hair moist which I think will help with retention and maybe oh gosh growth..Ion products from Sally's is going to be my thing for now on.I got the big bottle of the Extra care treatment and wish they carried a bigger bottle of the extra moisture one..lets hope by next year your girl will be apl maybe and relaxed.

 

[MaraWithLove]

Wow, this homemade DC is heavenly (yogurt, avocado, honey, olive oil and HEHy) and has my curls POPPING. Let's see if this holds up when I rinse out.

 

[SuchaLady]

I think people have a distorted view of hair. Pictures vs. seeing hair in person is not the same.

 

[Beany]

Just "borrowed" some black tea from work so I can do a tea rinse tomorrow.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

Beany how you borrow tea? You going to replace it lol..

 

[Beany]

*whispers shhhhhhh GoddessMaker they won't notice*

 

[Rocky91]

sitting here letting this DC do its thing, then I'll rinse, let my hair dry a bit in braids, tension blowdry the rest of the way, and then flatiron.
can't wait to see how it looks...

 

[MaraWithLove]

So...water really does make a difference (washed with smart water). Hard water = no me gusta; buying water filter ASAP! Thanks Noni

so, i was perusing sallys website and saw they had mesh donut bun thingies.

...and i always said i would never use one of those things, but i'm tempted to buy one. i wonder if i have enough hair to cover it so it doesnt look dumb? hmmmm

 

[AryaStarr258]

Just found out the left side of my nape is really thin . First I don't know how to feel about that. I've NEVER had problems with my nape, so I have to get over the shock of the discovery. Second, I don't know what I'm gonna do about it. My protective style of choice is bunning, but I kind of think any sort of ponytail, no matter how loose, is just out of the question. Wearing my hair down until it grows in MIGHT work, but then what about the ends? I do NOT want split ends; I just got a trim.

Decisions, decisions. Anyone got an idea???

 

[sunnieb]

Going to the zoo today. I cowashed last night, and I'll probably dc tonight to make up for my hair being exposed to the sun all day.

I really want to wash my hair to see if I have heat damage.

ETA: I wet a small piece under running water and it reverted, so I feel better.

Thanks! Just taking it day by day. It's getting easier... I miss my coke classics!

I betta be BSL! I'll find out when I touch up on Sept. 30!

 

[Aviah]

Okay.... I won't color my hair. Its more money, hassle, chemicals, and upkeep than I want right now. Plus I'm just recovering from a setback and about to put my hair away for the colder season anyway...

 

[shasha8685]

So today when I was out and about (at the BSS, no less), I ran into one of my blog readers!

Definitely the highlight of my day. Made me so happy!
