I think seriously a lot of ladies need to follow if you don't have nothing nice to say keep it moving. It's ok not to like something but bashing is a no:no they need to make a "this person is bashing button " to alert the mods and they need to get the mod's attention and and get a certain amount of strikes and be banned. I'm pretty sure a lot of people want i make certain threads but then say forget it because of the feistiness. We all established relaxed and natural hair can look nice and be healthy. I swear the "blacks can't stick together" thing is true. We always having full out wars among each other. It's obvious we as a people still have problems. White people use to get perms (chemical process that makes hair curl in case some people don't know) and I'm pretty sure they wasn't doing the my hair is better than your thing and your a sell out thing. I have relaxed hair and personally if someone makes a horrible comment about natural hair I get offended and might say something because if I decided to not relax one day, my hair will be natural and I don't want these people to continue to say these things about the way my natural hair grows out my scalp. If people just think of a relaxer as a style people choose to wear than it would be better. Now the only problem I have is the ones weaving it up and not taking care of their hair because they feel like "oh well I will wear weave for the rest of my life " which I have a ex friend who has said and i personally think she is trifling. I think relaxed and natural hair is beautiful regardless when you take care of it.

Now I will be honest girls and say I'm considering transitioning (due to extreme underprocessed hair and random textures) but there is a catch :look: I will be using a BKT that gives me straight hair but rinses out after 4-6 months. My hair will be straight just 99.9% of the time anyway :look: I'm not gonna do braid outs, twist outs, or wash n goes :look: But I would never come on LHCF and talk about how I will never relax my hair again. Matter of fact, you all will have to physically remove and/or ban me from your threads. :look:

And that's it I go through with it :yawn: :look:

pelohello http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=19002031&postcount=18 That's what they were talking about.

I haven't commented on this whole debate...mainly bc Im new to LHCF and my HHJ. Im texturized but its basically relaxed due my fine texture. That video of the girl going back to a relaxer was just sad bc the stylist totally overprocessed her hair. He really didn't seem to know exactly what he was talking about, IMO. Now I know that is NOT what healthy relaxed hair should look like. Every other vid after that ine shows the girl wearing a weave or wig. I wanted to see how her hair survived that harsh relaxer.

And now for natural hair... I personally like it when the curls, coils , kinks are defined. Whether this is achieved naturally, with a good product or with the help of a braid out, twist out or bantu knits doesn't matter. But I cant stand undefined natural hair!! It just looks uncombed and nappy. Sorry if this offends some people but I wanted to get that off my chest.

I LOVE this HHJ!!

Ladies, I read some of the offender's posts in another part of the forum. Clearly, they're a troll. Please don't let the offender keep you from renewing your membership. Especially, when that poster has never posted a pic of their hair. At least, not that I'm aware of.

Truth be told, NO ONE is chemical free unless you grow ALL the food you eat, all the products you use, all the clothes you wear, create EVERYTHING yourself in some kind of bubble or green house with dirt and water that YOU created. Everything we have, in some way, comes from the earth or ocean, and there are massive chemicals in the earth and sea. SO I do not buy in to the chemical free junk or the natural debate. You can TRY to be as natural as you want to be but since science entered into the equation, we all consume, use and are a part of a chemical environment and society. Instead of the natural v/s relaxed debate, how about we talk about how much we love the gifts we have in making ourselves feel and look beautiful, that we are blessed enough to even have choices, that we have the ability to use the internet and make friends across the world with a common appreciation for hair and other things. And stop all this beef about who is right and wrong in their hair texture choices. Cause that's all it is, a hair TEXTURE choice. I just thank God for the choice, because when we run out of choices, that's when it gest bad beyond belief.

Go 'head and vent ladies! We don't mind at all.

However, that thread is pretty tame compared to the nonsense that was going on around here in late 2010 and early 2011. Luckily, it's only a few and most of the naturals here are cool. I know a lot of naturals IRL, and they have helped me give them some awesome hair advice. :yep: The Natural Flexible Thread is a pretty good thread to get some info.

Just keep posting about your relaxed hair journeys. And if you decide to transition (SuchaLady :look:), that's cool too.

againstallodds I think we may have a winner.... It softened my NG like nothing ever before, it's scent is migraine friendly, gave my fine hair great volume...

BUT - It didnt do much for my wet relaxed sections that were overprocessed... I had to wait for it to completely dry (it dried super soft) then I detangled...

+ No protein... I plan to doctor it to become my staple conditioner...

For slip, I'll add some olive oil, coconut oil.

For protein, I ordered hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed wheat, SAA and panthenol.

I'm determined to make this work... Thanks for the heads up girl...

Oh yea, sweet post about mama's hair... If you go natural, I think I'll do it with you... (maybe)...

divachyk BUY IT!!!!

I am pretty much nursing only once a day now and it seems like post partum shedding part 2 is here..
divachyk
I ordered these bulk teas due to your post. Thanks... Hopefully it helps my shedding... I plan to shampoo... let my hair dry a little, tea, and DC over it for 45 minutes .... Does this count as soaking?

Marshmallow, burdock root, parsley, lavendar, peppermint, hibiscus, watercress, horsetail, dulse (seaweed) flakes...

We're being messy? :curtain: Okay cool.

Do not come around saying how your natural hair is so much better than your relaxed hair. If my hair was eye length I would be excited to have hair for once in my life too.

Well because it was. I don't see whats wrong with saying that I prefer MY natural hair over MY relaxed hair? I didn't say anything about anyone's hair in this thread... o__O But apparently some took it personally.

And MileHigh whatever her name was I do have pictures of my hair that are posted on this forum. You need to mind your own business.

Pubic hair? Considering that most of the people that are relaxed are hiding pubic hair in their new growth which is why they are relaxed in the first place.

I like the fact that she made the lady look stupid and all because she called her self pushing her beliefs on someone else but I refuse to down something I have naturally in front of a whole crowd that downs my race but she couldn't control what her niece or whoever said so whatever lol. That's like me being dark skin and bleaching my skin and a lady enforcing that dark skin is better and my little cousin saying "because no body wants to look like a turd". I Could understand why she was embarrassed

This Relaxed Hair thread didn't not just turn into an episode of snatching off your shoes and earring and jumping across the table to jack someone up on basketball wives did it? All hair is GOOD hair, ask the girl with no hair! Y'all are crackin' me up!!!
