I will chime in - Diva Vocals is BEGGIN' me to come here. I left BHM and headed for LHCF....And I have not really had a bad experience. I love it.
My reasons for leaving BHM were varied - and I post a couple "hmmm's" here and there - but my siggy now says where to find me.
Both Forums are a wealth of knowledge. However, I do think it comes to personal preference. I think many people have explored options on all 3 boards ( as I see many familiar folks ) So - hey I guess it is what it is.
I feel Supported at LHCF. I was at BHM for almost 2 yrs, and had too many run in's with "youngin's" and immaturity. There were too many arguements and so much bad blood between folks.
I hid in the Natrual Hair section and felt really supported there...As A Mod - I felt like folks hated me anyway - But I never really moderated anything because of ENDLESS Dramatics......I also have personal preferences about adult content on a hair board.
Once the site went down, and the search function became unbearable. I left for good.
So - My verdict is that I love LHCF. Hey, I can say this without being arrogant....I have long hair these days. So - I guess that is where I should be.
Hello all former BHM sistas.....

Well that darn search on BHM never worked for me! LOL... Honestly as a member of BHM, HB, LHCF AND Nappturality, I think all of the hair boards are helpful and even though a lot of the info is related each board brings a different piece of the picture. I love LHCF (even though I am a non paying member, is anyone a paying member? What are the additional benefits? I am a college student so my budget is kinda tight even if its just $5.) They have soooo much info on hair care. I think those women know pretty much everything...they are writing books, producing DVDs, and making their own hair products over there. I think that BHM is a good place to start just to get the basics. I like the TTT section even though it is kinda getting creepy with the psychos, and all that drama in the KIR section. People in natural section are nice. Never seen drama in the natural section of BHM. Although I have seen the LF section get pretty darn ugly at times. I don't think the hair boards are all that bad its just a few bad seeds that could give a decent hair board a bad rep.

Wow, I think both BHM and LHCF has a wealth of knowledge. BHM is on their game when it comes to weaves and lacefronts like no other. LHCF is on point when it comes to healthy hair regimes. As for drama, I've seen it on both sites.
On both sites, I use the search button and read through the "101" thread. Honestly, I get annoyed reading a question that already been answered in the basic section. As for searching the BHM forums, people always complain it doesn't work but I've never had problems. I like the organization of it better.
LCHF the threads just seem thrown together. I wish it was organized more.
However, I do like this board for it's laid back atmosphere. Actually, I am glad BHM went down because it's now bringing action to this board in the AA haircare side.

Nappurality has knowledge on how to care for natural hair with support for those sisters. As for drama, I've seen it on all sites.

LCHF the threads just seem thrown together. I wish it was organized more. However, some ladies do display an stuck up attitude due as in hair superiority based on them having length.
Naptural--love the support for us nappihead but sometimes annoyed at the militants attitude.
I don't like that both have bandwagon episodes like crazy.

I know how some of ya'll feel. I had someone get upset with me on BHM because " I'm confused, is your hair even in the 4's maybe I'm miss understanding"
Well that was an open question for her to explain to me or even say something. Instead, I find my quote in another forum and the lady was telling her "friends" there that I was jealous of her hair.
O well, whatever,it wasn't even that serious.

Thanks for chimn' in Miss Sweet
...................another case in point.
I will search HB, and see if I can find some "potions" that promote long hair growth. I use Shae Butter, and I like how smoothe it makes my natural kinks feel, just so soft. I am open to any suggestions as well.
If I come across anything I will let you all know.

well i'm not saying that everybody has had problems at BHM but i was a mod there so i do know when there was trouble.. there have had their share if not more than a few trolls at BHM..
Well whatever a troll is, it did not include me, nor define my situation, once again it makes me sore b/c some (not all women of color) do act just that way in their shops. I am speaking from my very own lived experiences.
As a moderator, I try to be an ambassador when there may be some disconect instead of a childish instagator of silliness. I take my hair, skin and nails quite seriously, it's not about vanity, but rather health promotion.
At the time the mods sat there and did absolutely nada. I snatched out and went on my merry way.
Sexibeach, you breathing air into this topic is an excellent thing b/c newbies((and other members)) in need of assistance, have a variety of feed back about what goes on in certain forums, and that is a good thing. They can move forward with an open mind and have thier own individual experience. Folks turn to these forums for all sorts of reasons, hair loss d/t allopecia, Cancer, aging, etc they need real answers, not antagonism.
I would tell anybody....TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND LEAVE THE REST, FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN USE IT, YO.
oh no not you for sure, i could have named those that were trollish, they would get band and come back again like the night of the living dead.. which is something i could never understand.. thanks so much i'm only telling the truth, and it wasn't just trollish behavior in the growth section it was everywhere on that board.. i just couldn't get with alot of those potions they made up for hair growth, and b/c if you weren't apart of their group of friends they didn't listen to you, or want you might have to offer.. i didn't need information from them i was only trying to give information to them, and they would act like i wasn't there even tho i was a mod.. so like you say take what you need and leave the rest!!
and yes that's why i put that thread together for those women that do suffer with hair loss, cancer, and allopecia to learn knowledge about lf's.. b/c if the information was at this forum they could learn it here b/c it does matter to women going thru hair loss issues.. i started the newbie threads there, and that's why people go there, but it would be nice to have the information here as well..
Let me know if I can be of assistance in any way.....seems like you really know your way around, and we need people like you in here...i find that knowlegeable folks like yourself are just easier to approach, and ask for help.
big ups to Sexibeach!!!
and Diva Vocals

I tend to ignore those "magical growth potions" threads that seems to go waaay overboard, but other than that the growth section is my fav. I love the challenges and progress shots. I try to ignore the drama but sometimes it get so crazy you have to just take a break and relax somewhere else.

I havent had a good experience there. The women their can be so rude and cruel with their responses to your posts. I think they pick fights because its entertaining. They just go in a thread hunting for a cat fight. I started a thread in it was like i was in a boxing ring. Do any of yall ever visit LHCF and posted?
as far as i'm concerned i don't post there altho i'm a member, i just lurk b/c i think their hair information is awsome and much more informative and they study it down to a science IMO more than BHM's growth section.. to me BHM's growth section appears to make up stuff as they go along without producing convincing results for my liking.. but at least i see real results of the women's hair that is actually growing very long on the LHCF as opposed to seeing any overwhelming results on BHM's growth section.. i could less if they are catty altho i've not experienced that b/c like i said i don't post, i just read and learn.. i'm not trying to make friends i'm trying to see what they've learned or their experiences on what products give good results.. and IMO there is much more fighting and drama at BHM than there ever has been on LCHF..
Dag i am a memmber on BHM and I haven't had any problems i stay on there than LHCF.

Hey Diva what's good Ma'? I'm Still over here doin' the dang thang.
My POV--
When you put yourself out there as a resource (LHCF, BHM etc) why act ignorant when someone approaches you with questions. I reiterate it was far too much stupidity for me, I was not of the mind to lay low and soak up the info. Where was I going to gain clarification if I had questions about the info provided? Now I will visit certain sections(BHM) because they had a lot of outside resources listed there, but as far as on the regular interacting...it was a comedy hour, except wasn't a damned thing funny when I had in genuine folks coming at me lopsided.
"This trick had the temerity to call me a troll, and tell all the vendors to beware of me b/c I did not know what I wanted...HELL...that's why I was asking questions!!!
Tell ya' how psychotic she is ...she and I had the tiff originally inside of PM and this imp went and posted the entire private message so that she could get her "gang" to cosign her BS. So many of the members chimed in behind her b/c she got them supplies and did favors for them. Now what that let you know? ? ?
They want to pride themselves on being a resource but wont do the work to back it up.
It is a felony the
stupidity, and childishness!!

exactly i would try to help them but it fell on dead ears, so bypassed them all the time.. but i'm setting up shop like you told me too in the wig section putting up the newbie thread..
I saw that girl..
