what are you thankful for...hair spinoff

[doriannc]

I know we are constantly trying to improve our hair, but why don't we take out the time and just write down what we are currently thankful for!
Me:

-I'm glad that I was able to buy that Joico on sale this week
now my hair is the softest it has ever been
-I'm glad that my hair is growing, finally. but I'm still not BSL yet.
-I love being natural, and I love that I'm starting a trend with my family and friends to be natural or be more careful of harmful products or "NuGro" products
-Being natural has allowed me to be more comfortable with myself and stand out.
-did I mention, I'm in love with Joico right now?

What are you in love with hair wise or thankful for?

I think everyone pretty much covered everything I was going to say. I'm probably most thankful to have a head full of beautiful hair that continues to grow and surprise me. Although it's thick and sometimes a little overwhelming for me, I'm definitely thankful for it.

i am thankful for understanding the difference between breakage and shedding and not freaking out over all the shed hairs in the shower.

I wish everyone had the same understanding and would stop making threads about their hair falling out or trying to stop shedding when it's impossible to do so.

Anyway, I am thankful for hair weave...and learning how to self-install.

I'm also thankful for having hair on my head.

And I'm thankful that my hair doesn't require all the "extra" stuff that other people's does.

Finally, I am thankful for my easy going attitude about growth that allows me not to get caught up in all the "growth aids" because hair grows therefore there's no reason to worry about it.

 

[MichelleMyBelle]

I'm thankful for my hair!

I'm thankful for not following many hair fads and trends because LHCF will keep a sister buying stuff.

I'm thankful for being wise enough to see what my hair needs are before applying products.

 

[Allandra]

I'm thankful for a smooth transition.

 

[SparkleDoll]

I'm thankful that I wore my hair in an updo for the last couple months. I used Indian powders along with deep conditioning and no heat. Last week I wore it down and it was so full, thick, and bouncy. My hair needed a serious break.

I'm also thankful my hair is still healthy considering I got it dyed light brown 3 months ago. I hope I don't start getting lazy with deep conditioning.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm Thankful for Understanding that You Can Recover From A Set-Back No Matter How Bad it Seems (at the time).

Im Thankful also for finally taking the Health and Wealth of My Hair into my Own Hands to nuture, to care for and to love.

And for the Desire to Read, Research and Learn what my hair issues are so that I can make Wise Decisions as to what Products, Regimens and Procedures I need to implement to get my Hair Health Back and to have Patience to Get There.

I'm thankful that the hair that broke off to 1/4 of an inch is growing back!!
I'm thankful for wave nouveau because it is making my hair feel soft.
I'm thankful for half-wigs because it's letting me hide my hair.
I'm thankful that I still have a hairline even though I wore braids for nearly 15 years.


And I'm most thankful for LHCF!! I'm so glad I found out what my hair really needs and that I can vent about my hair troubles because no one else is trying to hear it

Thank You sooooooooo much for both these statements..I see some people's regimens 50-11 pages long and I'm like look:....same thing with growth aids...no offense but unless your hair only grows like 1/16 of an inch monthly...why are they needed?...anyway if it floats someone's boat..I'm just too cheap to try all that stuff.

I am thankful for:
*To the Lord for answering long hair dreams with a resounding yes!
*This forum!!!

[BlackMasterPiece]

I am thankful for the fact that everything I was made fun of for in elementary school like my thick lips, my huge hair, my tightly coily texture are now some of my biggest points of pride. I am thankful that I have always had a mother that was a shining example of natural black beauty and a huge support for me staying natural, I'm thankful that I live in NYC where people will stop you in your tracks to praise you for being natural and give you free meals at their restaurants for having a BAA. I am continuously grateful for the length I have attained.

I'm thankful for my uncanny ability to learn to do styles upon one viewing. I am thankful for my hair's thickness & the thickness and resilience of my strands. I am soooooo thankful for my hair texture and the myriad of things I can do with it. I'm thankful I've found a place chocked full of women just as Hair obsessed as I am.

Most of all I'm thankful I am now in a position to help other ladies have a smoother transition and make it so that little black girls with type 4 hair don't have to go thru what I went thru when I was little.
