I just wanted to comment on the review that VERONICA BEAVERHOUSEN posted in this review on April 26, 2007, in regards to longhaircareforum.com. She said “Please by all means DO NOT go on longhaircareforum.com it was a joke and a waste of time. Some if not most people on their are wearing weaves and lace front wigs, lying about how their hair grew so long in a matter of weeks, and how their hair will be growing down to their ankles by year's end, and fussing who said what about the Bible, pure crazinessâ€. I wanted to say that I have proudly been a member of Long Hair Care Forum since December 2005. Since joining this site my hair HAVE gone from above shoulder length to now 2 inches above my brastrap. My hair will soon reach my brastrap at my next touch up. I owe all my hair growth success to LONG HAIR CARE FORUM, Cathy Howse book, Nicole Smith book, taking hair vitamins, keeping my ends hidden by wearing my hair up, keeping my hair/ends moisturized, washing and deep conditioning my hair ATLEAST once a week, doing protein treatments weekly (to keep my hair strong, so it will not break off), and did I mention by getting good hair growing tips from LHCF. Yes some women on LHCF wear wigs and lacefronts but they wear them to protect their ends while growing their hair and many of them ACTUALLY have long hair underneath those weaves and lacefronts. You may ask how do I know this and the reason why I know is because we have meetings in different states where we meet with other ladies and talk about our hair goals, swap hair products, and of course touch the beautiful locks of the ladies. Long Hair Care Forum have policies on the way a member is to conduct themselves on the board and those who DO NOT follow those policies can and do get banned from LHCF. We at LHCF have pictures to validate our hair is actually the length we say it is. We actually have BEFORE and AFTER pictures. Hair grows 6 inches a year and if you protect your ends, you will keep those 6 inches, unless you like trimming ALOT then of course you will not keep the 6 inches. A lot of us on LHCF do our own hair, from perming, trimming, styling/roller sets. If we didn’t know how to do it before joining LHCF we know how to do it now. We at LHCF are an internet family oriented environment. If any of us have any issues in our lives, all we have to do is type it in, WHATEVER it may be and someone will respond within minutes. We don’t curse, degrade each other. Our goal is to help each other reach our hair’s potential and it doesn’t matter what type of hair you have, coarse, kinky, fine, curly, etc. Your hair can reach its potential. We are proof of that. Visit us sometime and see yourself.
ETA: I behaved myself because I didn't want anyone to think LHCF was crazy BUT I posted on Amazon.com a while back because ppl was ticking me off about Carolyn Gray's book and encouraging ppl not to buy her book and I was pissed because Carolyn's book is very helpful for someone who don't have a clue in hayl on where to start and yah she copied and pasted the week by week steps but I myself needed that book to be laid out like that..anyway this is what I posted in regards to Carolyn Gray's book:
THIS BOOK IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND SINCE I PURCHASED THIS BOOK MY HAIR IS HEALTHIER AND LONGER...YES THIS BOOK IS FOR RELAXED HAIR BUT IT IS ALSO FOR NATURAL HAIR TOO AND THE WEEK TO WEEK REGIMEN STEPS WAS THE REASON WHY I PURCHASED THIS BOOK BECAUSE WHEN I STARTED TAKING CARE OF MY HAIR...I DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO START BUT IN THE BOOK SHE GAVE WEEK BY WEEK STEPS AND I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS REGIMEN SINCE DECEMBER 2005 AND MY HAIR HAS GROWN AND IS VERY HEALTHY AS I STATED EARLIER...FIRST I HAD TO GET MY HAIR BACK HEALTHY AND ONCE I ACCOMPLISHED THAT THE LENGTH CAME. AS FAR AS CAROLYN GRAY NOT USING APHOGEE PROTEIN TREATMENTS (SOMEONE MENTIONED) ALTHOUGH SHE DOES NOT USE IT HERSELF...SHE DOES MENTION APHOGEE PROTEIN PRODUCTS IN THE BOOK AND BEING THAT SHE USES SOME FORM OF PROTEIN TREATMENT WEEKLY MAYBE SHE DOES NOT NEED TO USE A STRONG PROTEIN TREATMENT SUCH AS APHOGEE (SOME PEOPLE HAIR CAN NOT TAKE A STRONG PROTEIN TREATMENT OR SOME PEOPLE HAIR IS NOT THAT SEVERELY DAMAGED SO THEY WOULD NOT NEED APHOGEE PROTEIN TREATMENT). I DO NOT USE A STRONG PROTEIN TREATMENT AND MY HAIR IS NOT BREAKING OFF..IT'S GROWING ACTUALLY...THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR AND DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START OR YOU JUST DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START...THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU....SHE TELLS YOU WHAT PRODUCTS TO USE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS...YES SHE MENTIONS HER PRODUCTS BUT SHE ALSO MENTIONS SEVERAL OTHER PRODUCTS TO USE. SHE IS GIVING YOU THE FOUNDATION TO BUILD YOUR HAIR REGIMEN TO NOT ONLY GROW YOUR HAIR BUT TO ALSO KEEP THE HAIR...THIS WOMAN TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE A BOOK TO HELP AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN GROW THEIR HAIR AND WHAT THANKS DOES SHE GET BUT UNNESSARY AND LOW BLOWS NEGATIVE REMARKS...YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS...EITHER BUY THE BOOK AND WATCH YOUR HAIR GROW OR STFU AND KEEP THE SHORT DAMAGED HAIR YOU GOT...I PICKED MY OPTION AND MY HAIR IS GROWING....ADVICE TO MALICIOUS NEGATIVE REMARKS ABOUT THIS BOOK...KEEP IT MOVING....IT'S OK TO POST NEGATIVE REMARKS ABOUT THIS BOOK IN GOOD SPIRIT BUT SOME ARE DOWN RIGHT MALICIOUS AND IS NOT NECESSARY...THIS REVIEW MIGHT NOT GET POSTED BUT I HAD TO SAY THIS..BECAUSE SOME WOMEN WILL MISS OUT ON SOMETHING GOOD...BECAUSE OF THE IGNORANCE OF OTHERS.
tsmith, that was a great rebuttal you wrote. Thanks for sticking up on the behalf of LHCF.
WELL PUT TOO!
