Shocking Hair Confessions 2008: The Raw Edition!

[GeauXavi]

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
I confess that I am seriously rethinking any length longer than MBL
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.

ITA with the bolded....FA REAL...
Oh...and I'll add....I confess that I tell people that I'm transitioning one day, but I have my next relaxer marked on my calendar
I cant decide...lol

 

[clever]

juice and berries!!!

Ya'll know folks be grinding up up twigs and wild african berries for homemade scalp tonics

 

[ladylibra]

You are a cutie and so is your hair. Quit trippin', chick.

awww thank ya hunny

i'm just not happy with it, it's not where it was you know? i feel like Lionel Richie will be calling any minute asking for his hair back

 

[Sepia_Rose]

I confess I ALWAYS comb, brush and detangle my hair from roots to tip.

I confess that even though I wants me some waist length hair I get scissor happy every few months and whack off a good two inches or so because I'm so OCD about see through/split ends.

I confess I used my curling iron (on high) on my ends with no heat protectant or moisturizers for a straight week last week because I was too lazy to do my usual bun/braid.

I need my butt beat for that last one.

 

[NYAmicas]

I dont trim and Im not about to start,

I ripped out two knots incurred from my twist out attempts and now I'm paranoid I set my grownth back.

 

[Cichelle]

I haven't done any deep conditioning treatments in a long time. I think it's been a couple of years.

As a matter of fact, I don't do much of anything to my hair.

 

[bigdeelight]

Great thread...

I confess that I love color and that no one can tell me coloring my hair makes me less of a real natural.

I confess that when people ask me if it's my real hair color, I sometimes tell them yes.

I confess I'm pretty tired of doing my hair everyday though my hair probably appreciates it.

I confess I'm patiently waiting until winter when I can buy a bun and braid it up/bun it down until the weather heats up.

I confess that I am not, nor have I ever been, scissor happy and that as a natural, I see no need to trim so I don't.

I confess that I'm tired of buying conditioner so often and that I do clarify at least every 2 weeks.

I confess that my scalp has itched non stop since I started trying to care for my hair and I'm telling myself that means it's growing.

I confess I'm fighting the constant urge to flat iron my hair to see how much it's grown.

Finally, I confess that since in real world standards my hair is long, I love to flat iron it and swing it for the jealous stares.

That is all :-\

 

[TG2000]

Hi, My name is tallglass and I am a hair addict........

I confess that when I go shopping for new product that I am unfamiliar with, I use it for a week and then return the unused portion as if it was never used.

I confess at times when I did use new product that was expensive, I would pour some in a empty bottle, save it, and then take the rest back for a full refund

I confess that I sometimes talk to my hair and kiss the ends!

I confess that I sometime lie to my frenemies about what products I use out of fear that their hair will grow longer than mine!

 

[MJ]

I confess that I'm natural, but whenever I envision my hair at my goal length I see myself with straight hair. I see straight ponytails, relaxed looking rollersets, straight hair buns, straight hair hanging down my back and swangin, and blown out twists. I dream of straight hair even though my hair doesn't like relaxers. So I think I'm going to be a natural who press or flat iron a few times each month.

 

[Platinum]

I confess...

I've been discouraged lately. I'm jealous of the sisters here that have had "miraculous hair growth" since I've been a member of LHCF. I know I shouldn't compare my hair to anyone else's but it seems like everyone's hair is growing fast. Except mine.

I still haven't started a fotki. Hmmm, maybe I should one tomorrow.
This is my favorite smilie .

 

[LongCurlyLocks]

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.

OMG, that's my confession! I don't do it really anymore though.
And I confess sometimes I don't do bottom to top for combing...
And I'm terrible at taking vitamins...
And I despise water.....
Sometimes I forget to wrap my hair up
Up untill last week, I was only washing my hair once a week and most times would only oil my hair the same day as wash day....

 

[nicki6]

Hmm...I've read that confession is good for the soul...so

I confess

**That I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. Its the healthiest and longest EVER yet I'm still not satisfied

**I am SICK of trying to achieve APL. its been TWO years now and I am beginning to believe it won't happen I'll never stop treating my hair well though

**I still have serious hair envy. I've watched countless ladies on here grow out to BSL, then BC and get right back to BSL ..while I 'idle' in the same spot

**That its time to take the focus OFF the hair and focus on getting my body back in shape

 

[mommy2kaela]

I confess I only wrap my hair when its' pressed which is once or twice a year and then I use an old stocking cap tied in a knot.

Sometimes I'm in a rush so I just brush over my hair and reband it.

I prefer to only comb my hair under the shower water using a ton of suave conditioner. after my daughter was born and until recently the only time my hair saw a comb was in the shower.

I'm scissor happy in the summer and my trims consist of 3-5 inches per trim 2-3 times per year

I like having hair to my hips and want it to grow longer but I get frustrated and and cut it back to tailbone legnth.

the refrigerator went out and the food went bad so I used the mayonaise on my hair...it didn't smell rotten and it still did its job.

I thought about having my hair thinned at a salon because its almost too thick to put in a ponytail and I'm frustrated.

oh and I'm a homemade product junkie I'm always creating concoctions...and I have like 50 products to my name including at least 5 condtioners and 3 shampoos...sad thing is I never use the new ones just my old time favorites!

[mahoganee]

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.

LOL!! I had to read that twice.

 

[Miss*Tress]

I haven't done any deep conditioning treatments in a long time. I think it's been a couple of years.

As a matter of fact, I don't do much of anything to my hair.

I confess that I'm envious of your growth especially since you BCed not so long ago. Why doesn't mine grow as fast?
I confess I'm vain about my curls.

This right here is exactly what I am doing, the hair will show up at some point, but I'll be working on the body in the meantime!!

 

[longhairdreamzz]

I confess:
I'll never cure my pjism (wait maybe that's a good thing)
I still haven't clarified yet since starting this hair journey.
Lately, the only time I detangle is the day I relaxed my hair...and thats like every 7-8weeks.
That LHCF has completely replaced myspace for me...I used to be on myspace 24/7 but now I dedicate my time to this site.

[cocoaluv]

I confess that I still know nothing about protein treatments and clarifying even though I have repeatedly asked loabouthair how to do them


I confess that I am doing a vision board as part of LOA and so far about 8 of the 12 pictures I have cut out so far to be put on the board are hair related....the other 4 are money. Knowing me the money will somehow relate to the hair. I really need to stop

 

[sweetcashew]

I confess I cut 8-9 inches of my hair off 3 weeks ago. It's growing out the blunt look already though.

 

[lunabelle]

I confess that i haven't trimmed my ends since November 07' because I made BSL in the back.

I confess that I know if I get a trim my hair will grow back, but it hasn't been this long in a while and I don't wanna risk it.

I confess that I am past sick and tired of the front of my hair not growing!

I confess that because I haven't gotten a trim my layers have grown out and my hair just hangs there and i don't know what to do with it.
