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.  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. 

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, 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. 

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
