Wearing buns breaks your hair off. Washing it everyday is bad. Dirt makes it grow.

Ive been told by every single one of my friends for the past 4 years since ive started growing my hair out that I do too much and its all going to fall out. 4 years later and its never fallen out lol.

Washing my hair with Tide detergent would take all the perm out and I'd be natural that instant.

dirt makes your hair grow
some stylists have growing hands
too tight braids make the style last longer and help he hair to grow
i wash my hair too much and am stripping the natural oils ( i wash 1-4 times a wk depending on the time of year)
black women can't grow long hair unless they or mixed or have good hair
i should only use products intended for black folks hair
grease moisturizes your hair
natural hair only needs moisture not protein
black hair needs heat and lye
you can't grow a relaxer out your hair will fall out
get a relaxer touch-up every 3-4 weeks
trim your hair often so it will grow to get rid of dead ends


i'm so glad we have this forum and didn't continue to fall for or believe this mess

Is she serious??!!! I can't wrap my mind around that one:lachen::lachen:
Same with my friend I mentioned in this thread who said she has "growing hands" and that it depends on the way she positions the scissors. But yours takes the cake.:yep:

Now let me preface this by saying I love my friend to death BUT.......she has two sons. Son A had long hair and son B didn't. The reason, as she stated, that son A had long hair was because she used to braid his hair really tight and "the pulling made his hair grow". I was like, please don't repeat that to anyone and her reply was "no, I am serious!"

OMG. I referred her to LHCF with the quickness. She needed immediate direction.

:lol: it ain't for me its just sits on my hair. i have to moisturize and seal. i also do better with non-petroleum based products. we could make grease with an non-petroleum emulsifier though. in my case no beewax or lanolin either.


:look:all the ppl that said this to me had crackly, crispy hair that was greasy, short, and broken off that they hardly ever washed and they continually blow-fried and curled to a crisp with gel, spritz or both:nono:

wth?! Seamonster for real?!:nono: i just can't with some folks. many folks i knew had healthy pressed hair until relaxers came about.... :yep:chemical like relaxer, curly perms or color make you have to be more diligent about haircare and a reggie for many folks.

Well the oils I added were argan, coconut, safflower, and olive so its more oil than grease lol

Using heat tools makes your hair grow. I don't think the female who gave this advice STILL has any hair to show for it and it's been 7 years :lachen:

Just grease your scalp. The grease will flow down into your hair keeping it moisturized. All my dang hair broke off.

This may have been said already, but naturals don't need protein. I listened to that and ended up ruining my hair via mechanical damage from brushing my hair into a bun every day.

A LHCF Mythbusters would be my favorite show.

What's even crazier is this same lady had just commented on how my hair was growing like a weed! I told her that I only dust, but rarely trim. That is when she hit me with that little nugget of "knowledge" and told me that I was stunting my growth. Lol. Really?

I was telling someone about the joys of cowashing and how it gives me a moisture boost during the week. This is the response I recieved >> Using conditioner without shampooing first dries your hair out.
