Shocking Hair Confessions 2008: The Raw Edition!

I confess that I am not doing nearly enough protective styling and I've been wearing my hair down at least 5 days a week. I notice that my ends are drier, yet I still don't wanna bun it up. What's wrong with me :wallbash:
 
I confess that I haven't dc'ed in months. Since I only co-wash and use cond. as a moisturizer I haven't needed to dc. Hopefully this won't bite me in the arse.
 
This is my confession - I don't always comb my hair the proper way. Sometimes I comb from root to tip. NOT GOOD!!

I confess that sometimes I sit at my desk at work and dust my ends with my OFFICE scissors. :look:

I confess I'm guilty of doing that too. I hate to see split ends so just have to cut them (I know...I know.
). Quickly running the comb through it doesn't help my cause either.

I confess I was ignoring my hair for months because it wasn't growing like I wanted it to.

I confess that I've been ignoring FOTM threads, album update threads, and milestone announcements for months because of my own hair frustration. (Now that I'm back on track and out of my funk, I'll need all the inspiration I can get. :yep: )

I confess that I haven't been taking my vitamins and drinking lots of water like I should. (I drank lots of water today though. :look: )

I confess that I've never washed my rollers before reading that recent thread. (I felt so dirty.)

nice thread!

I confess that...

I don't always wear a sleep cap at night

I have been reeeaaally inconsistent with my vitamins... ( I still have part of a month's supply of this hair vitamin that that I bought in, like, February :nono:)

I RIP through my hair with a comb

I'm on this board probably way much more than is good :grin:
 
I confess that I joined a thousand challenges and haven't stuck with one.

I confess that my hair is actually kinda crappy right now, probably because I texlaxed twice in one month only a few days apart.:wallbash:

I confess that I can't wait to be over this hair obsession, and I'm kinda itchin to cut off about 5 inches of relaxed hair.

I confess that now I wanna take breast enhancement pills so my hair grows quick too.
 
I haven't rollerset my hair in about six weeks! I've been taking care of it and keep it healthy and bunning/wet setting, but I haven't felt getting it right to wear it down.


Because of that I just don't feel like taking progress pics! I know I've had A LOT of growth since my last photos. But I don't feel like making a perfect rollerset to make the pics.

I also fantasize about cutting and coloring my hair to neck/chin length the way it was two years ago. It was easier to style than my long hair and it still had a lot of different looks. I originally cut it because I had to but I loved the look on me.

Sometimes I feel like I'm growing my hair long just to prove to myself that I can and to be that girl with long hair (even though I was happy with shorter hair).

I confess that I'd never told my mom that I accidently cut her hair while I was trying to cut those strings off her hair, she still think it was damaged from the weave, she blamed on person who did her hair. :perplexed:perplexed:perplexed

I took breast enchancement pills last month while with hair vitamins to make my hair grows faster, It really works! I got hair about 1 1/2 inch a month but I stopped because my breasts gained and firm from 36A to 34B. I didnt want to mention this because I think it too wierd to admit about this. :perplexed

I hate to have my hair swanging front of my face, it keep pokin in my eyes and make me want to cut it all off! :lachen::wallbash:

I dont know how to rollset! :wallbash:

I confess that I've been doing less and less to my hair out of shear laziness
I confess that I keep it up now because the longer it gets, the harder it is to manage:look:
I confess that I am seriously rethinking any length longer than MBL:look:
I confess that I hardly visit fotkis anymore for inspiration.
I confess that I have become delinquent when it comes to taking vits.

hmmm...I need to get back on track.

I know that my hair can take alot of punishment... So I punish it... Mercilessly.

-I flat ironed it twice in one day... All over, not just touching up.
-I blow dry and then flat iron (as high as it goes) and I could care less if my hair doesnt curl back up (it never curled right when I was heatless so I dont give a ship now at all)
-I sleep on a stain pillow and hardly ever cover my hair. If i slip off the pillow so what
- I know my hair will be WSL next year and Im contemplating cutting it all off and rocking a TWA.
-I LOVE henna but I aint know it was permanent.. Im considering bleaching my hair.


ITA with the bold :lachen:

:drunk:Giovanni is the bomb :blush: I never thought I'd be so in love with this cheapy line. My goodness, it's caused me to neglect my ayurvedic regimen as well as Italian and Dominican lines because the results have been so.....surprisingly wonderful :perplexed I just hope it lasts, because this line will save me a lot of money. I won't be testing this and that anymore if this is it for me. I'm still giving it a 6 month trial, but my hair shed has cut down to barely none and the overall condition and manageability is beyond belief to me. I couldn't get a comb through my hair that easily before, no matter what conditioner I used, but this stuff makes the comb melt through:notworthy

ITA! I confess, I miss the compliments that came with my shorter hair. Maybe when I get out of this rut, then everything will work out fine. But, DH told me today, he could care less whether I had long or short hair. I dunno, maybe all this talk is the weather. I know I need to get back on it!

I confess, I don't want to take a progress picture until my hair dramatically longer than it was before.:ohwell:
 
here goes...


i shampoo OFTEN but my hair is ALWAYS soft after Im finished with everything.


When I was younger... brace yourself..

I used plaque on my edges. :barf:
Sick I know. I think I may have messed up yalls appetites for DAYS...

I haven't straightened my hair yet, but I don't think I'll be too heart broken if my hair gets *trained* by heat. I don't see myself trying to rock the Wash N Go's.....

I'm confused. You mean plaque from your unbrushed teeth?

What's plaque?? Not the kind they clean off your teeth at the dentist office is it ?? :blush: :thud:
 
I'm hoping she doesn't mean that. And I want to know, where do you get enough plaque to lay down your edges ?

I didnt lay down any edges with it.
Oh gosh..why did I confess this? Oh well...I was a kid.

Whoa now, I hope you don't mean what I think you mean :spinning:
 
i didnt moisturize every single section when i put my kinky twists in. i was running low on baby buttercreme and that stuff is expensive.

:ninja:
I won't buy it because I think it's prolly hair crack....:ninja: Why it gotta be all expensive??

I confess:
I use bobby pins
I'm seriously getting tired of this TWA and i want a new style ASAP!!!
:ninja: bobby pins are bad? Somebody forgot to tell my hair that, it don't seem to mind. I get the premium kind from Sally's though...:look:
 
I won't post growth progress pics even though my hair is growing like crazy because I'm not straightening it yet, I'm just washing, and braiding it every week.

The before and after is hard to capture on natural shrunken hair. So I'll just wait and post a picture of my straightened hair on my Nappy Anniversary in December.
 
Im going to go hide now...
Nah... wait a got daym minute... Where did you get the plaque from? You'd wait till the morning before brushing ur teeth and scape some off? Girl dont be embarrassed just say it grew your hair 2 inches in a month and no one will clown u about it :lachen:

But for real... Why?

Another asty confession... If I see a split end out the corner of my eye and Im somewhere where I dont have scissors... I will break it off or bite it it it doesnt snap off. :ohwell:

Girl? I hope you are :pinocchio

I think that's what she means boss :badidea:

What's plaque?? Not the kind they clean off your teeth at the dentist office is it ?? :blush: :thud:

Sure does sound like it :burning:


I'm hoping she doesn't mean that. And I want to know, where do you get enough plaque to lay down your edges ?

I mean for real :cantlook:

I didnt lay down any edges with it.

Hey, it's always good to be honest...
































:lachen:


Just kidding redliz81, you were a kid. We all do gross things as kids, it's a right of passage!
 
Yeah. It is strange. :look: Well, I guess I see why you feel the need to shampoo so often.

No, that doesnt have anything to do with now. I use growth aides and sweat daily from working out or working.

I have NO idea what I was thinking back then.
