Has your man ever tried to give you hair advice?

My sister's boyfriend told her:

"my mom has some hair growing stuff. If you want to i can hook you up."

BTW she has APL hair AND is a member here (Bellebebe) so the advice really wasn't needed. It's funny cause he said it out of the blue.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?
 
MY EX EX

me: im thinking about going natural
him: my mum was saying the same thing (she is white btw)

not really advice but it's hair related

MY EX:

him: you should just leave it alone (his hair is past APL btw)
 
my SOs mom, sister and sis in law are natural...he tells me: DONT GO NATURAL!!

I am going to one day though, he better brace himself!!
 
They've stated their preferences for what styles I wear my hair in, but never commented on techniques or products.

As for styling, they can keep it to themselves because I'm gonna do what I want and they have to live with it.
If they make other suggestions with good, unoffensive intentions (they actually think they're helping because they know I'm a PJ and hair obsessed) I would think it was sweet.
 
My SO says that I should just wear my airdried hair out, he likes that it's "poofy" and thick :ohwell:

He had also tried to help me braid my hair twice...never again:lachen:
 
No, but he constantly talks about when his hair was long and things he used to do. But i do tell him that he will help me relax...lol
 
My husband keeps asking me to go natural, so I can "rock" the Chaka Khan.:lachen:"Just do it baby, just do it." He says, I think he had a crush on Chaka as a kid and he thinks I can bring some boyhood fantasies to reality! HILARIOUS!!!!!!
 
My SO told me for the longest to buy the green bottle of Pantene, showed me a hard brush that looks similar to the denman to brush it through, and then told me to wrap it with a scarf. I thought he was silly till I tried it, and my curls came out super soft, I do it all the time now. His hair used to be down to his nipples and his mom's is mbl.
 
He recommended WGHO when I first started my journey because some lady raved about it. I think he really thought it would work a miracle lol. It didnt work. I told him growth takes time and patience anyways, also TLC.

He told me a long time ago to stop using chemicals (relaxers) since my scalp is ultra sensitive.

He helps me pick out my wigs lol and tells me if he doesn't like my selection. I can't lie, he does have a great eye: I get the most compliments from men and women when I pick something we both like.

The other day he told me he wants to buy top quality (salon quality) products for our dd's hair. (he took her out one day and told me different people were coming up to him complimenting her hair all that day every where they went, I think he just gettin a big head and wants to hear even more compliments about his dd :rolleyes:.)

He said my hair would probably grow, but not to WL, and that fool laughed in my face (I couldn't get upset because I used to have that same mentality too, but I quickly schooled him on the power of healthy hair and told him I would prove him wrong)

Click to expand...

Does he know how much time she spends on LHCF and on her hair? Maybe he was trying to be supportive. :look:

Ummm...when we first started dating my ex was just shocked at how fast (read:retained) it grew. Then he just kept asking me not to straighten it. He really likes it curly.

Not anymore, because i just ignore him.- Politley:yep:
It was stuff that his exes would do- please note- none of them could ever be considered as a modern day Rupenzel

For example- "Why are you washing your hair so often?. When you leave it dirty your hair will grow and its better for your hair in general"

THIS coming from a man who has hair that is DEAD straight ( he has a very mixed background).His hair grows close to an inch in 2 WEEKS.... and washes his hair every freaking day...I love him dearly, but man doesn't have a clue:grin:

He lets me know when it's time to go to the salon to get a retouch especially after a 12-14 week stretch and pays for it too to make sure I go. If I mention that I trimmed my hair, he's like why?, what for? Other than that, nothing.
 
OMG yes and it always ends in an ugly arguement. He used to compare my nappy hair and what I do to it to his sister's hair who is mixed with Native American and is natural with wavy hair.
 
About eleven years ago, while we were dating, my husband told me that I looked ugly with my hair straightened. Does that count? :look:
 
Well the only " Hair Advice" my fiance gives me is to stay away from boards like these:lachen:. He has some wierd conspiracy theory. He swears that women just come on hair boards to post crazy, made up concoctions, that they know will harm the hair, hoping that other women will use them so their hair can be jacked up and they will look the best and feel good about themselves.:perplexed

I have explained to him time and time again that the people on these boards are from all across the country and the world. Even if his crazy theory was remotely true, why the hell would somebody in Chicago care if my hair was jacked up in New Jersey , and how would that boost their confidence if they cant even see me:lachen:.

He also "advised" me not to be experimenting on his daughters head with this " nonsense", as he likes to call it.:lachen:

He is helpful at times though. When I used to do my own weaves (glue-in) he used to help me put the tracks in the back and when I was transitioning he would flat iron my roots in my nape and ear are cuz I burned myself a million times trying to do it. And NO this is not suspect because I had to teach him how to do these things and he actually hated doing it but helped me out anyway.
 
Yesterday I got a relaxer and wrap. I thought it was very beautifully done. Anyway, he tells me it looks thin and that it feels like "white folks hair". So then he commences to add, "you know while you are pregnant you can't use all those hair chemicals. Prenatals are going to make your hair grow and being pregnant is going to make it grow. " The icing on the cake was when he told me his first daughter's moms hair was all the way down her back when she had his first child and yadda yadda. Yall know I was like:ohwell: 'you don't say?!#.!!' I told him 'post partam shedding is a ***** and I just might shave my head so I don't have to fool with hair, but thanks for the advice pooh':wallbash: The look on his face after that comment: priceless.
 
Sounds like he prefers natural hair. I hate guys that compare one female to another. Someone always comes up short. I wish my SO would say thatm Id say "Well go back tp ur baby mama then!"

My SO doesnt seem to understand that natural hair doesnt stay straight for long. As soon as I wash it he gets to rolling his eyes. :rolleyes: "Why you gotta wash your hair so much? You just washed it the other day!!" He doesnt know it but I hate wash n go and I wear them to piss him off:lachen:
 
My SO always tells me to wear my hair down and cries bloody murder when I say I might cut it. That's the only advice he gives me.
