Well here I am once again in a situation that bothers me. I never knew how to take care of my hair my entire life until I joined these boards - my hair has shown amazing progress and grown the longest it's ever grown thanks to all the tips (maybe 2 inches since november 19th). Yet here I am b/c I don't feel happy about it or at least I did until today. I went out to drinks with the girls tonight and they were like what have you been doing to your hair...you need to comb it every day (right now I'm very low manipulation I only comb when I wash it which is 2x a week and one is only a co-wash), you need a dominician blow out...you're washing your hair too much, and you should never ever let it air dry etc. I feel ugly b/c even though my hair is short (think V-beckham bob length) I want it to thrive to become healthy and long yet I feel like i can't let b/c people are constantly judging me. I don't flat iron my hair - i know it would look cute and I have a fhi but I'm determined not to use heat except when DCing and that's indirect. I'm about 1o weeks post relaxer...I know it doesn't look that great especially b/c it short but what do you do when people are constantly criticizing you about your hair? One of my friends has bra-strap length hair (doesn't really do anything to it just had it all her life) so she assumes her word is law. I guess I'm just tired of having all this judgment...does anyone have any suggestions on how I might make my hair look a little better or how to deal with this situation? Usually I will wear flexi-rod sets (but i just haven't had time recently to put them in when I wash...i mean I'm a student and time is always short).
