I know I saw a thread about this when I was lurking but I can't seem to find it now. I just started taking better care of my hair in February. So definitely not that long but my hair has made significant proogress (health wise...the growth is following SLOWLY lol) Anyway I was talking to my mother about my hair the other day and I said I can't wait for my hair to grow a bit longer so I can wear it out and give the weaves a rest. She says "The reason I think you aren't getting much growth is becuse your hair is so nappy" That made me furious! I said that has nothing to do with anything. So I just ignored her. I see my sister everyday (we work in the same office building) and today she says "your weave looks good and always smells good but don't wash it anymore. The weave is thinning try to make it last for a few months" Now if the weave gets uwearable guess what I WILL TAKE IT OUT" I will not let my hair go unwashed. When I tried to explain she sighed and said she didn't want to talk about my hair. Ok, fine I get that she isn't excited about hair as I am but this comes from someone that saw pictures of the way I filled in my edges in 3 weeks (after lurking ont his board) and wants me to help with her hair. I try to ignore it but its just so frequent. They bring up my hair and ask questions and when I get into it their eyes glaze over they tune me out. LOL. One last thing...when I would weave my hair back to back and do nothing to it uunderneath my mom always swore my hair grew after I took it out. That was a big fat lie. In fact my hair was almost always shorter. Now that you can see a difference my mother tells me nothing is happening to my hair and I'm doing all of this for no reason. UGH! I'm just...ugh!!! Ok, rant over.
