Good Morning everyone,


I was just reading that thread, I am glad that you all made it back safely and some good positives happened from that situation.

Mmm Hmmm! It does give you a new appreciation for hair. Girl, talk about mini fro after washing! My hair has always been thick, but now that it is all natural it is way thick! I didn't do a big chop. I was too afraid of wearing short hair. I was doing mini chops on my hair. When it grew out inch by inch I'd cut the old perm ends off until they were all gone. I love messing with the NG too. lol! Although, I did wear braids for a good long while while transitioning. I didn't like braids too much either because after I took them down I'd get a lot of shedding. I know that shedding was normal after braids, but I just couldn't get used to it. I used to do my own braiding. I have never had [i]healthy and natural hair before. I also never thought I'd say those two words in one sentence either, natural and healthy...and it's getting long! I've had perms and jheri curls pretty much all my life. I had the Jheri curls up til high school and then I got a perm during 12th grade up til December 2007.

I think I will check out that Motowngirl site and see what it's all about. Yep, that shrinkage will fool anybody. Once you stretch it, it is like abracadabra! I've learned that S-curl spray is the bomb for my hair as well as Aubrey Organics shampoo and conditioner! Product junkie is and understatement for me. I have a whole closet full of junk and a big box full at the bottom of my closet. I think I will sell on Ebay.lol!


LOL @ you doing mini chops. I was afraid to wear mine really short, too. I let it grow in braids/twists until I had about 2 inches of new growth and then I did the BC. I put it back in braids that very same day, lol. I STILL play with my NG. I love feeling the waviness of it. cool.gif Yes, all of the hair shedding that comes with braids can be intimidating and you feel as if you will be bald if you continue to wear them. I read that people generally shed over 100 strands of hair per day, so if you have braids up for a few months then all of that shedded hair can be a shocker.

Please do check out Motowngirl because there was so much information on natural hair care that I didn't know where to start and I found it to be a good place to start. I've heard that Aubrey Organics can work wonders. I have yet to try it. I know what you mean about all of the junk. I have three plastic bins in my bathroom full of stuff and that doesn't even include the rest under the sink. One bin is for my essential oils, one is for my hair sprays, bottles and moisturizers, and the other is for my CONDITIONERS!

Interesting ladies!!!!! I too have been toying with that same idea and have felt the same way you both have. I have permed my hair since age 13 and I was one of the ones who would go to see my hair dresser every week. It's been about almost a year since I have seened her. I have been doing my own perms and my hair is not doing all that great I thought about doing the natural thing so many times and would go about two months without a perm. Then it would get to where I could not deal with it and I would just perm my hair again. I am in fear I guess because I know nothing about caring for unpermed hair and how to get it managable or how to style it. Hopefully I will get up enough nerve to go ahead and do it. I plan to check out those sites also. Thanks for the tips!!!!!


Your story is similar to many natural stories. That was basically how mine was...once you start doing your own perms, then all hell can break loose on your hair. Like I said, go check out both of the sites and see how you feel about it. The main key to natural hair is keeping it MOISTURIZED and CONDITIONED. Your hair will be so manageable and soft once you find a good routine to keep it full of moisture. I intend to keep it natural, but getting a press every once in a while. There are many many styles that are available for natural women, but you just have to break past the myth that "natural is hard to maintain". Let me know what you decide to do. smile.gif

When I was in high school I permed my hair. Never again. I have been all natural since then and my hair is just past my shoulders. If I use a flat iron it adds a few more inches. My hair is the kind that is really curly but falls nice. No idea what I ever permed it smile.gif


Do you like being natural? Wow, there seems to be so many of us on here. I know Radical Lover is, too, and I think Asante Maroon, also. Your hair sounds really nice and low maintenance. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(nopalavar @ Jun 21 2008, 03:03 PM) *
I am just reaching shoulder length, but when it is shampooed and dried it is like a small afro. I hate when it shrinks like that. When a small touch of water hit my hair, it will revert. Summer time is coming and I dread how it will look then. I may just opt for braids or wear an afro puff.

By the way LL, your friend hair looks very thick and healthy too. It look like it would be long after she press it.


LOL, I know what you mean about it reverting instantly. You can try to keep it looking longer with braid outs and twist outs. Those styles help to show a little length. Yes, that picture shows pressed vs non-pressed. Her hair was closer to her bra line.

Hey Lovin


Tell me about it. I was natural for about 7 years before I got sisterlocks. My fro used to be so short (TWA) teenie weenie fro, and when I pressed it out it wuld come down my shoulders. I would also be amazed. I love my locks but I miss the versality of my natural styes.


Happy 2 B Nappy


YOU TOO!!!! I didn't know you were one of "us", LOL! Oooh, speeaking of sister locs, the same friend that I posted before (her name is Free), she just got her SL in December. Hers are beautiful. I think I actually like SL better than the regular ones, even though I say I will never get locs. Free is trying to convince me to get some, but I keep telling her "mayyybe", lol. I love how they look, but I always love the ability to change my styles and like you said, the lack of versatility would get to me after a while. Here are some pictures of her new Sisterlocs:

Wow! Those are some nice locs. I like. Yeah, I am quite versatile with my hair. Once I'd have those, I'd want to take them down again a few days later. I have a girlfriend that did a big chop . Her permed hair was past her shoulders. The perm broke her hair off in the back so she'd wear her hair in a bun to cover it. When that finally didn't work, she wore wigs. Then she decided to chop it off. She let it grow back and had sister locs done. Til this day, she still has them. Her hair is so long now. It's ridiculous!

I forgot the website that I usually download pictures too. DUH!!!!!! I will sign up somewhere to the servie and then post the link.

I gave Zainab my Ghana number and she gave me Bassi's, if all goes well we can meet up.

I am going to view my bridesmaids dresses tomorrow and pick up more fabric for some traditional clothing for me and hubby. I also have 2 meetings.
But if she is near Osu I will find her
LovinLiberia
Okay, I hope you do share them with us. I hope you two can meet up. It's exciting to know that two of the VJ members are both overseas in the same country. Are you having fun in Ghana? When will you be back in the states?

I just got this in an email and decided to pass it along rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to
Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and
preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunately, my wife is like most
women - - she loved to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following
letter from the local Wal-Mart.

Dear Mrs. Samsel,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been
forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr.Samsel
are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's
Carts when they weren't looking.

2 . July 2 : Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official
voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away.'

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's
on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other
shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from
the bedding department.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began
crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a
mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he
asked t he clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly
humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look'
by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least.
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'

Regards,
Tom Richards
Wal-Mart Manager

I love them and would advise them to any one who wants locks.

I just got this in an email and decided to pass it along rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to
Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and
preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunately, my wife is like most
women - - she loved to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following
letter from the local Wal-Mart.

Dear Mrs. Samsel,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been
forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr.Samsel
are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's
Carts when they weren't looking.

2 . July 2 : Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official
voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away.'

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's
on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other
shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from
the bedding department.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began
crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a
mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he
asked t he clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly
humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look'
by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least.
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'

Regards,
Tom Richards
Wal-Mart Manager

Yep very easy to maintain. I wash and go or wash braid and go. Every other month I use SL moisturizer but other than that I don't use any product on my hair.

I love them and would advise them to any one who wants locks.


They are surely beautiful!

LL this is my SL at 2 yrs 7 months. Disregard the pose I was on my 3 drink.

Omoba I will hopefully be able to get pics of the dresses today. I'm excited and the same size as one of my girls, so I will try on her dress if it is ready.






Awww, you look so pretty. Your hair is gorgeous and I love the color on the ends. LOL @ you being on your 3rd drink. Your pose was cute. I hope you can pass along the pics of the dresses, too. I would love to see what they look like.

Sorry!! the first picture is SL at 2 years 1 month that pic was taken New Years day 2008. This picture is SL 2 years 6 months taken last month in Ethiopia. The other is one of my favorite pictures of the children at a model school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia April 2008.









Another beautiful shot. Are they easy to maintain? That's a great picture of the children!


Hey We Destiny I love those, I never new what they were called but, I saw a lady at the gas station that had some and I was admiring her hair. That's exactly what I would love to do with my hair when I decide to go natural. I also liked your friend's SL LL. Thanks for posting the pics!!!!!
