My friends are hair crazy too that's how I found this board!!
I hate to admit it. Only my family knows all of the " crazy" stuff I do to keep it up. I have shared with those friends that are sincerely interested in improving their regimen. The others I just accept their compliment and move on.
and asked me "what is going on with your hair under there?" I thought it was so funny. I wanted to say "hiding from y'all to the end of the year!" But I just said that I had my hair plaitted for more growth. She was like 
. My fiance thinks I'm a bit too engrossed, but he snuck a peak at my hair when I forgot to wear my wig around him (I was trying to hide from him too but he's extra nosy anyhow) and he said I looked like I had so much new growth which I knew was his way of being supportive of me & LHCF .
look when i went into making sure she had a balance and protein for her over-processed hair...so since then it's only been my sis who knows and is a willing guinea pig to vitamins, Sulphur mixes, baggying etc, I have put my mum on some of the vitamins for health reasons and i'm making her a sulphur mix as well. She goes along cause she figures the fact i've still got hair on my head after all the bleaching and colouring means i've got to know something

" Mind you she has not quite shoulder length hair that she cuts every time it starts to creep down toward her shoulders.

She stayed while I rinsed and combed my hair and she had to admit the honey made it shiny.
Most of my friends aren't really interested in what I do with my hair.
She sounds like my boo. one day he caught me in the kitchen making my protein treatment with yogurt, real mayo, eggs...he was laughing as he told me that I'm probably going to end up bald if i put that gunk in my hair that's supposed to be for cooking, not for hair. 
My boyfriend also knows that my hair is growing and he is learning to be supportive for me. 
Now there watching me and sneaking peeks when I wear my hair down. Now I don't even say anything unless they ask. They don't ask me anything right now because they remember how stupid they were acting before they seen my hair grow these 2 inches in three months. toyztoy said:Im a neebie but I've always cared about my hair. I experiment w/ new products but Design seems to work best w/ my hair. My husband says I have the most expensive hair in Cincinnati b/c I will spare no expense for a product!!!! I love hair.
Then i'll have to say," No, Linda it's the same length because the stylist gave me a cut instead of a trim!" But for the most part i am mostly secretive about my hair goal and so forth. Like someone else said, the proof will be in the pudding.
Besides my Mom and one of my cousins (who listens because she's polite and she loves me - bless her heart) I don't peep a word to anyone about hair care outside of LHCF and a couple of other boards. I do get more attention and compliments on my hair from family, friends, and strangers since I stopped relaxing though.Sly said:Besides, my mommy's on my side so I'm good.
Sidenote: Gotta love the moms, right?! You can say "mom, I decided to do operatic juggling full time" mom will be right there reminding you "practice and be the best you can be. don't drop a ball. . . you bet not embarass me. . .
And you know she supports you 110% percent!!!
Stay encouraged, ladies! Happy Hair Growing! Do it - Do it!
