seeing people with hair problems

That's just nasty. You need to tell him that Peter Tosh and Bob Marley took care of their dreds so perhaps he ought to do the same.

I stated out like that with a client and discvered she had no clue what to do to her hair. I relaxed it and styled it, she was amazed. She came by to see me a week later, started asking question after question as to if she was losing hair while combing. I have had to start with basic combing,shampooing blow-dring training for her and her daughter, found out grandma has no idea how to take care of hair other than GLOVERS GREASE. any way I now am having to see her at lease once a week at no charge and use positive reinforcement of the good things she is doing .Moral of the story don't give advise is you don't want to be teaching it on a daily bases.

Every time I see a woman with alopecia, I want to tell her that something can be done to fight it. I've only had the courage to say something once while at a beauty supply. After striking up a conversation, I gave the woman my dermatologists card. She thanked me profusely. Talking to somebody about their hair can be a very touchy situation. Most take it as outright criticism.

Hair is really a touchy subject with some. It's great that she was willing to hear you out. I hope her hair got better

I mentioned the site to my COWORKER and she went off about how we are lonely,angry conceited....blah blah women with no life. Then she and another woman proceed to look up the site and critize it. And the looks of their overprocessed,breaking and matted hair they both need to get on the site immediately!!

I had the same experience with a friend of mine. Tried to show her the site and she said it was fake, just some lonely women . I don't know why we act like that to one another .

BTW, your hair is gorgeous in your siggy !

I know right!! i thought it was just me who noticed that stuff. before i didn't notice. now i sit in church and go: "hmm, sister Mary could really benefit from some deep-conditioning, and moisture cause her hair is chewed up!" or "Dang, that lady been stuck at shoulder length since i've know her... 5 years ago!". i seriously can't help it. i have to bite my lips to stop me from going up to me people and tell them to wash their hair 2x a week instead of once a month.

A friend of mine never wears protective styles, and that's why it took her hair seven years to grow from neck length to arm-pit length. That's six inches in seven years when normally it takes a little over a year to grow six inches. When she was neck length, I asked about her stylist: "Who does your hair . . . it looks very good, etc."

She just looked at me as if I cursed her out! She wouldn't answer, as if she was shocked. Then I said: "I'm not looking for a hair stylist; I'm very happy with mine." She still wouldn't say anything. After about five minutes, she walked away. I wasn't going to go to her stylist.

I said to myself: "My hair is bra-clasp length, so she's probably thinking, why is she asking me about who does my hair? Her hair is much longer than mine." I said to myself: "She can see that it didn't take my hair long to get to this length. I've made faster progress than her, because when I first met her, her hair was much longer than mine. Years later her stylist cut it, but it's taken seven years just to get to her current length--arm pit."

So that's why I don't ask people about their hair regimen, because they may not want to share this information. I don't tell outsiders about my regimen or LHCF. If they inquire about it, I'll tell them the off-brand products that work okay on my hair, not the best ones.

Today I was in a salon getting my hair braided and I saw a women there with about ear length just chewed up thin hair. Another women ( with a wet curl) was there with her two natural daughters, who both had very healthy hair, below shoulder. This first woman sat in her seat at the dryer just watching. It wasn't mean spirited at all , but you could tell she was thinking about her hair and feeling embarassed. When the stylist sat her down next to me, he was like - well, it's so dry in AZ the best thing you can do is get the wet curl, they're not like they used to be. And I'm like öh please lord do NOT slap a curl in your head!" So when he walked away, we started talking and I told her about the site and things I use like Aloe Vera Gelly, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil and Glycerine. She was sooo grateful. I think you can tell by how a person conducts themselves around someone with longer hair - ESP in the salon, if they're going to be happy for the advice, or snap at you. But you still have to approach it in the right way, don't talk down to anyone, but offer and see if they accept.
