QuoteReplyTopic: Tell momma whats wrong (BHMers come on in) Posted: March 03 2008 at 8:45pm
I know we feel let down because BMH has been shut down for a while.
Lets share what BHM has done for us.
Make sure to tell Before and After
SO I will start
Before:
I was a member on here.I was doing research in hairworld, looking up African American hair and the homepage is what I found. From then I, I lurked. I read as much as I couldm then decided what forums to be a member of.
After:
Once it slowed down on HB, I saw that all of my hair friends were at BMH. THey were so welcoming. I love the friendships, information and celebrity gossip BHM plus the drama is hilliarious.
Now, come on and share!

I was searching around tha web tryin' ta find ways ta stop my hairloss, at least help with it, and to learn how ta better take care of my hair...I did a web search about products that weren't good n came across BHM...I lurked around for awhile then decided ta join & ask questions from those who know a whole lot more than I do about hair n weaves n stuff
After I joined:
I learned alot more about hair & how ta take care of it, what products ta use & came across some great products that I just love & wouldn't of found or thought of using if it wasn't for BHM. Also from here I learned alot more about weaves & extensions n which gave me more ideas for changin' up my look, so now when I see a style I like, I keep it in mind for tha future..and it has become addicting
I joined here after BHM went down, but this wasn't tha 1st time I've been here, I had tried to register in tha past, but always had some technical difficulties...

after bhm: i shaved the rats nest completely off and starting wearing lace fronts and have the confidence to walk outside my door and feel like an adult that has arrived. now when or if ever i decide to grow my hair back there is also a forum to help me maintain healthy hair.

Yea we were all lost before BHM lol. I am not ashamed to admit it. My hair was in a state of perpetual dehydration, ends were jacked up. You name it, I suffered from it lol. But now my hair is healthy and thriving thanx to the information I found on BHM and the tips from the members who were soo helpful. My hair has never been better.
Honestly I came to Hair Boutique first.. (I found BHM through this forum..) I was a stone cold Extensions Plus girl (still am truth be told) and I
wanted to get feedback on other available remy hair options out there.. I was doing research on other hair vendors out there in the world, and I came here (and then went to BHM) to get feedback on some of the vendors I found in my research..
Question: What have I gotten back??? (and this applies to all the forums I am a member of.. so 1st off -- gotta give a shout out to Hair Extensions 101, Hair Boutique and BHM )
Answer: I've had a lot of good laughs, TONS of camaraderie, and a few great women that I'll be proud to call FRIEND/SISTER long after these forums all die..

before bhm i had the driest hair in the universe...lost of shedding and breakage...and really i was a shames of my hair,i could never find anything to do with it...i'm a 4a hair type so you can get some idea of how frustating that texture can be if your not informed...i always looked like this
but nooow!! i have met more people with 4b hair who are encouraging and have info that really really helps out....they show you their photos and give you encouragement and suggestions...i even did one of the brick house challeges to eat healthy and lost some weight....i love that women can join a forum and encourage you to look your best and be your best...we don't always have to put each other down....i did the wig challege also over the summer...(i didn't like the way it turned out) but i never would have thought about trying it if it wasn't for the ladies on bhm...i'm conststanly learning and looking more like this
don't chase me unless your ready to catch me!!!

I think these hair forums are great...you get a chance to hear and experience new ideas.
I know when I first started looking for hair care items, I was tired of not seeing nice looking African American hair, whether it be relaxed or natural.
Some of the things I was doing, like wearing alot of buns, phony ponys made from tracks/wefts and using oils, relaxing less frequently in my hair was my idea. When I searched online, there were numerious women doing it...I felt a little warm in the heart.
It took alot of research to find natural hair sites when I first began, that was my main focus, but keeping my hair healthy overall was just as soon to me, that is what we strive for.
Before BHM I was buying over price, low quality lace fronts. I was walking around with a jack up application. (I did not understanding the measurement part of lf and that all adhesive does not work for everybody) and my real hair was dehydrated and had split ends. I was struggling not to loose my edges
After BHM. I know great CV and AV vendors. My apps are on point. My real hair is very healthy (including my edges). It has grown tremendolous.
The only con is BHM got me strung out. I am now addicted to lacefront and hair forums.
cmesweet. i've been wearing my head shaven since november 21, 2007. i must shave at least once a week. i may grow my hair out and get a curly cute texturizer in maybe 2037 when i turn 59 i always liked to see old slim classy women with short hair. it looks really sophisticated to me.

I joined BHM the same time I joined here funny thing I though it was the same forum because it kind of had like the same layout but bhm had more info for me. I learned about different hair types different vendors closures I never thought of using one because the ones I saw were the plastic ones that turned me off but I've since seen the light. I MISS MY BHM (sigh)

The difference is in the way forum admin is handled here.. Their theme song outta be "Papa Don't Take No Mess"!!! Karen doesn't allow drama jumping off on her forum.. and I mean NONE.. It's not a restrictive environment at all.. She and her admin staff just work HARD to keep it NICE, peaceful and FUN here.. and she's fair about it..
I'd like to see more women of color here, but having a smaller number of us here has NEVER stopped me from jumping in and sharing.. I've learned a lot from here as well.. I think that a lot of women sleep on HB, and have dismissed this forum as "the white hair forum", but that really doesn't accurately describe this place at all.. I see this forum as a nurturing environment for all ethnicities.. and I really commend Karen for recognizing and responding to community needs and desires.. (example the 360 and Hip Hop forums)
So as women of color, if we find and express a need that is not being met here, I am reasonably sure that Karen would look into it and make changes as needed..
I got nothing but love for BHM and many of the women there, but sometimes I just want to chat without all the cattiness and drama.. **sigh**

This is so true. Plus if there is drama click that "report" button, I've done it before. Ain't ashamed to say it either
