Does anyone notice that when we were younger and our mothers did our hair it use to be so long and healthy. I guess that is what i decided to do is go back to doing my hair the way my mom use to do it with care and concern and not just do anything or trust anyone with our hair. The more hairdressers I 've been to the more I wish I could go back to the days when someone I really trusted and had my best interest at heart did my hair. Does anyone feel me??? ------------- when people ask you why too much they usually want to really ask why are you so fly |

Umm well lets see...well my mom washed my hair once every 2 weeks (thats what she told me) My family had to hold me down on the counter just to get my hair washed. I hated getting my hair washed and I hated water. It seemed to take a whoooooolllllleeeeee day to get my hair washed, dried and then braided. Every few sundays (especially holidays) my mom would press my hair...wake up about 6 am on sunday to get all pressed and head to Sunday School. We experiemented with glovers mane ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |
and I hated that stuff since. It stank!!! No matter how many washes on wash day that stuff still smelled like an over used bar-b-que grill. But my hair always turned out cute!Posted By: SimplyAlex

| Yeah I remeber but I really think it was relaxing that did most of us in cause that's when most of my hair problems started. Our hair just thrives naturally no matter what no-no's we do to it. I'm natural now and I'm finally getting my gorgous hair back. |

When mommy used 2 do my hair it would look so good! My natural hair is extremely thick, like Rudy Huxtable from the Cosbys. I sort of regret getting a relaxer (which mom told me NOT to), but she gave in and let me get one and I no longer have the beautiful afro texture that I once had. When I was younger my hair was too tough to handle, so mom would press it using grease only. I never used a lot of products - just my Blue Magic Grease and mom would only wash it once a month. Now it's a totally different story, but I guess sometimes change is good. You learn from your mistakes and learn to accept your hair's texture - whether it's relaxed, natural, locked, it's all up to u, whatever makes u comfortable!  ------------- 1 more day until next touch-up 5 more months until bra-strap length |

My mom use to wash my hair with baby shampoo, grease my scalp with WGHO, and braid it until it was dry. Then, the hot comb came out. I use to hate it soooo much!!! She always burnt my right ear without fail. My hair was pretty thick back then, but it's getting to be that way again without all the tangles!! ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

I remember my mom washing my hair 2 weeks as well. Greasing my hair with Hawaian Silky "Sure Gro,"Blue Magic, Posner, and TCB. I also remember my mother using eggs and mayo in my hair as a conditioner. My mom also did my relaxers. My hair was bra strap length and thick. ------------- 100% Natural BC - 4/21/07 Love All Gods' Creatures |

My mother would wash my hair about once a month (  ), slap vseline in it and called it a day. That was it!! And I had some long hair too - one of the reasons I have no problem using products with petrolatum/mineral oil on my hair. ------------- Natural since Nov 6, 2004 |

My hair was definitely thicker when I was younger, and longer too -- but remember that most of us were shorter, so "longer" on a kid would not look the same on an adult. My hair used to be much thinner, until I got away from that durned hairdresser who insisted that I come in every six weeks. Now it's a lot thicker, and since I trim my own ends and use less heat, it looks much better than I'm used to for two months post-relaxer. ------------- Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have. |
