Shocking Hair Confessions 2008: The Raw Edition!

[RegaLady]

it probably is the weather!



Girl? I hope you are inocchio



I think that's what she means boss



Sure does sound like it :burning:




I mean for real



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



































Just kidding redliz81, you were a kid. We all do gross things as kids, it's a right of passage!

NONONO ajoyfuljoy, PLease, that wasn't me! Oh goodness, I didn't do that! Wrong lady!

 

[DarkAngell]

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

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.

nah don't say that cause then everyones gonna be running around here putting plaque on their edges to get some growth..

im just joking ciera! That make me wonder though what some of us did as a child to their hair thinkin it would do them some good. I confess i put a whole container of vaseline on my head when i was young ( really young ) because i thought my hair felt dry. For 2 months i had the greasiest head of hair you ever saw...

lmao. what did your parents say?

 

[RegaLady]

I know a relative who put teeth bleaching gel in her hair(as gel to slick her edges), and her edges bleached. I mean they turned orange. Now that was funny!

 

[bermudabeauty]

I put heat in my hair so my hair would look sexy for my birthday yesterday even though I knew it would be 111 degrees and I would sweat it out regardless. Kill myself bang bang.

 

[SoOoNY]

Alright... here I go... I hope Tee doesn't come in here...erplexed

I confess to lifting my hair color 4 times (in 2 weeks)... I am REALLY sick of this black hair... Only because I want highlights...

I confess i am putting a relaxer in my head after 10 months of transitioning and i am Happy... my edges never lay down... with nothing... NOTHING! I Always have to wear a headband and it looks like a have a bad half wig on cuz the edges is curly and the back is silky straight

I confess i plan on going right back to natural after i hit APL cause i wanna be able to make a decent ponytail with my curls

I confess i don't moisturize often...

I confess I hate any and all natural hairstyles on myself (ie. two strand twist)

I confess after seeing Marbel on here in thinking about going blonde... SERIOUSLY

I confess I hate my hair short but keep cutting it

Lastly and prob really stupid on my part


I confess I went natural cause i thought my hair would have looser curls since I am mixed... and it would be easier to manage

 

[nomoweavesfome]

I confess I hate being 4a/4b and I wished my hair had the same patch of 3c texture in the back on all of my head because it is so much easier to deal with and i don't get the problems i get on that little patch like i do on the rest of my head.

I confess I wish I can do wash n go's

I confess I wish I had pretty nape hair. My hair will not grow in thick in the nape or last after years of wearing a short cut shaving the back and relaxing it every 2 weeks burning the living daylights out of it.

I confess I wish I didn't have resistant roll up peas for edges.

I confess I wish growing hair wasn't so difficult for me.

I confess I wish I had either thick tough course hair or managable soft fine hair not fine and peasy- just makes things so difficult.

I confess I wish I didn't care about hair so much but it's in my blood.

 

[hopeful]

I confess I am not sure I really want long hair. In my hallway there is a pic of me and my family and I was relaxed at the time with a really cute short cut and I look so pretty, my hair looks so pretty. Everytime I look at it I just wonder if all this work is worth it...

I confess I am so tired of twisting my hair it is not even funny.

I confess that sometimes I dread wash day because it just takes so lonnnng.

((((hugs)))) to you for the bolded part. Lots of people, mixed or not, hope for the same thing.

I kno... but it still sounds bad...

 

[apemay1969]

Im going to go hide now...

?

Okay, dude, so you saying that you used your pointy fingernail, scraped your teeth and put it in your palm, rubbed it together and laid your edges back. If not, what was your technique?

I could see my daughter doing that. I really can. ...

 

[apemay1969]

I confess that everytime I see a woman with pretty dredlocks, I hold her hostage with the story of cutting my locs in '05.

I confess that I can't remember the last time I washed my silk bonnet.

I confess that I sometimes shake my head to get hair out of my face and I just barely made collarbone.

I confess that I hoard all of the 'good' hair products in my room and give my daughter and stepdaughter the stuff that I don't like. (ooh,that sounds bad)

I confess that I've used my hair brush on my cat.

I also confess that I've used my hair brush on my cat.

Dang, I'm nasty.

 

[eshille]

Im going to go hide now...

No need to hide nor feel embarassed...people put worm spit in their hair, sleep on worm spit...wear worm spit...hold worm spit in high regard and researchers are looking at adding worm spit to food products because of the protein within it.

What is worm spit...SILK and ALL products derived from sericin....

My confession: I follow very few lhcf's holy grails...I read and enjoy the interaction, tips etc...BUT...that's it.

I confess to the same thing. But alas, its not true. So, I wish people would get off my back about the only reason my hair ever looks nice is because I'm mixed.

 

[ebonylocs]

I confess I'm not much of a product junkie but my hair still grows.

That's not a confession! I think that's true for most people whose hair is getting longer.

I thought it was one of the LHCF precepts that products don't grow hair.

 

[ebonylocs]

I confess..
I've been using heat dang near every week like its all good in the hood
I have been using rat tail combs like shower combs lately
I don't take vitamins...ever..and I don't plan on it
using no heat is over rated

Girl, you better share that regimen. That is some great progress. And your hair looks so thick and healthy too!

 

[sharentu]

- i dont cover my hair every night for bed.
- i dont do my hair every week.
- i sometimes comb and/or brush my hair when it is dry.

 

[Extremus]

The only time I DC is during relaxer touchups...every 8 weeks.

Really?

- I wear my hair down everyday
- I'm sick and bored to death with

• braidouts
• twistouts
• bantu knots
• roller-sets
• simple, plain, flat-ironed hair
• don't like buns, so don't wear those
• don't like wearing ponytails, so I don't wear those

ugh! wish I can use my curling iron everyday

- I can't stand that the front of my hair is way shorter than the back. This is why I still consider my hair short (front is APL, back is BSL )

- I hang on to my raggedy, thin ends for the length

- I really want someone else to take care of my hair

- I still don't exactly know what my hair likes or how much product I should use My hair is either coated and weighed down or dry!

- I'm frustrated as all hell b/c my hair NEVER shines!

• coconut oil
• CHI silk infusion
• hair polishers

The shine will last for about a few minutes

 

[bravenewgirl87]

great thread Whipz

This is my confession - I don't always comb my hair the proper way. Sometimes I comb from root to tip. NOT GOOD!!

Thats my confession. I'm also not a fanatic of pre-pooing.

Sometimes I like my hair over moisturized, especially when I know that its easier to comb the new growth. But, then I spray it with the Aphogee Green Tea and Keratin spray.

I don't really like the deep conditioning challenge all that much just because its hard to keep the balance.

I suck at ayurveda rinses.

I like styling my hair everyday.

 

[bravenewgirl87]

I confess that I hardly ever use my OCT...just forgetful
I confess that I don't massage my scalp like I should
I confess that I scratched the heck out my scalp a day before my relaxer...and paid dearly.
I confess I HATE taking vitamins and only take them when I remember!
I confess that I don't remember to oil my ends sometimes
I confess that I love going to the salon, getting my hair done and getting jealous stares

Iconfess to all of these.

I confess that I cry when I get a trim.

I confess my ends are damaged and thin from blowdry and manipulation, and I really should cut them.

i confess my hair would've been apl by now if I was using the growth aids twice a day EVERYDAY like I used to and if I'd bought my quality products instead of trying everything under the sun that was cheaper than Bb.

I confess that I miss the weaves and gave in to wigs.

not anymore!

I thought you wrote the same sentence twice but then I reread it and said 'wow' LOL

 

[Irresistible]

I confess

That I take every possible short cut there is with my hair

such as
leaving conditioner in for days-been doing this for years-long before it was thought to be a good thing to do
Thats also how I started CW'ing years before, I even knew what to call it, and before it was thought of as a good thing to do
I also did the same things with my daughter's hair
believe me there was a level of guilt on this because there was no understanding that it was a positive thing back then
I confess that I still just dont want to deal with my hair most of the time

Have you tried a cellophane treatment? I know that I'm about to do a colorshower job. They make your hair glisten!

 

[DaPPeR]

I confess that I relaxed my hair bone straight last month for a sew-in where I left my front hair out.

I confess that I flat ironed that part of my hair every single day so that it would blend in with the weave more and to beat frizzies.

I confess I did not do a protein treatment after relaxing.

I play in my hair every second I get including combing because it doesnt last long until its underwraps again (kinky twist or sew-ins)

Oh yeah when in sew-ins, I never start moisturizing my hair underneath until a week and a half later, when I feel the weave is "getting old"

 

[Mortons]

I confess that I only detangle my hair 1 time every two weeks Thank goodness for the Denman, I'd probably be bald

I confess that I have not used a heat protectant besides coconut oil last time I flat ironed. I didnt get any heat damage sooooo.....

 

[chinadoll]

I comb my hair when it's dry
I still use grease
I blowdry and flat iron my hair every week

 

[chavascandy]

I confess that I am to lazy to wear my own hair.
I confess that I dont condition after every wash.
I confess that I treat my hair that it is to to ugly to wear w/o
a weave.
I confess that I prep my wigs more that my natural hair.
I confess that I am to lazy to moisturze so instead I just wash my hair everyday.
