Ok - i hope my post doesn't shut this thread down - cus my mouth tends to run away with me.........

1. Whilst i appreciate why people wear wigs/weave - i just can't get my head around the fact that they look so fake and obvious. The hair just looks plastic and shiney (even if it is human hair) and doesn't lay right. Yes, i have worn have wigs in the past and i have felt like everyone was staring at me.

2. Braids (extensions) look like they have sprouted straight out of your scalp. They only look better 2 weeks or so later when a little growth shows through.

3. Not all of us are born hairdressers and are at some point going to have to accept we never gonna beable to style/look after our own hair. I include myself here.

4. I don't like the look of short 4a/b hair - i'm talking unstretched length of about 8 inches or less i guess. To me it looks a hot mess in its free form style ie afro/wash and go.

5. I think alot of natural heads want to go back to a relaxer but would feel like a failer of some sort if they did.

6. I think the relaxer was invented for people of 4a/b textures. This is why i went natural - my hair would frizz and revert when relaxed.

7. Why do people have to take a photo of their hair length topless? (obviously they have their back to the camera lol)

Hey, im trying to grow mine out.

My unpopular opinion...........

Thin ends are okay! I say let your shorter strands catch up to the longer ones. Every strand does not grow at the same time. No need to trim all your growth. Trim when you get to your goal. I never trim.

I agree!!!!

MY TWA GETS COMPLIMENTS EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!

 

[cutenappygrl]

please elaborate, if you may

preach on wheezy - long hair does not always equal healthy hair. People can have long hair that may not be healthy if they were never taught how to care for their hair (some peoples hair grows at a faster rate than they can destroy it). So that means that just because one person can relax/color and flat iron every day and have let's say APL hair - does not mean that you should too especially if your hair grows slower and your strands may not be as strong.

Closing this thread. I knew someone(s) would come in and make it ugly. What a shame.
