What are you Scared of? What are you Anticipating?

[AwesomelyNappy]

Since joining LHCF, what have you grown to be scared of? I mean terrified, frightened, cold sweat scared! Trapped in a dark room having to watch The Exorcist by yourself - scared!

What are you sooo anticipating? Something you read about here, that you've never experienced (or may have experienced before, but want it again). Something that puts stars in your eyes and you get giddy thinking about trying it. Products, styles, growth goals, hair tools, supplements, treatments, proceedures (like a D. blow out) etc.

for me.... i'm scared of

Salons!!!!!!!!!!!!! loosing growth progress, dyes, dry hair

I'm anticipating...

A FULL long thick beautiful ponytail... Aveeda products, nexxus, BSL, a dominican blowout...

when i think of more, i'll post them later...

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

oh, and also scared of "trims".

 

[candy1214]

going to a salon and asking for a trim or touch-up....*shudders*

 

[silvergirl]

the only thing im scared of is someone trying to replace my conditioner with relaxer. lol

 

[Empress Yahudah]

LoL this is cute....Since joining LHCF....

Im Scared of : Hair spray....letting a stylist trim my hair...products with mineral oil or lanolin(will limit to one conditioner if its the bomb on my hair )

What I anticipate is: Being a full haired, healthy waist length,.... a Dominican Salon in my area I just moved too.....self relaxing with success

Whoa that is scary

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Fear - that my hair wont be pretty when its long.. for some reason I have this extreme fear that I will never have pretty, silky, swinging long hair like everyone else here. Ill just have hair hanging off my head that doesnt move, has no life, ete.

Anticipation - seeing a change in my apperance physically (have had short hair for about 8 years), find products that work perfectly for my hair, being an inspiration to someone...

I think about that sometimes, but in my nightmares it's Nair in my conditioner bottle.

I'm also afraid I'm going to get a lot of rude remarks from people about the long hair being "all I have".




I'm sooooo anticipating reaching waist-length. I can't wait to wear my waist-length hair out.

 

[PinkSkates]

Fear - That my aveda products will stop working on my hair and I'll have to spend 2 years trying to find new products.

Anticipate - Having natural, healthy, mid back length hair that stays on my head without too much upkeep.

 

[HoneyDew]

I am scared of relaxer time. I always get scared when it is time for a touchup. Nothing has ever happened, but I wish I could stay at 4 weeks post forever!

I am anticipating hair long enough for full, protective updos. Right now my updos look anorexic.

 

[vangrey]

hmmm.... im not really scared of anything
lol... but after reading someone of the previous posts
i think i have some things to worry about nowerplexed

anyways, i do anticipate reaching my goal of bsl curls
thats all i can think about... lol

 

[natstar]

I'm scared of trimming my hair and having it too short for me to clip up. I'm scared for my layers to become even more pronounced if I dpn't trim correctly.

I anticipate more growth as my regimen becomes even easier and less involved.

 

[GoingNatural]

Fear-- That my natural hair will just stop growing like how it stopped when i was relaxed. I really NEED (not want) to make BSL unstretched

Anticipate--BSL streetched and unstretched, seeing what my hair looks like in its "final" glory

 

[whitneysimone]

my biggest fear is acheiving my hair length goals of waistlength only to get overzealous and start wanted to have it flatironed constantly and curls and wear it out often and having to same breakage and damage all over again that lead me to lhcf in the first place.

I am most anticipating having long, jet black, healthy thick waistlength hair. I am only twenty and i know i am thinking FAR ahead but I am also anticipating getting married and wearing my natural hair and later having little girls one day and teaching them proper hair care.

there's more, i'll add them as they come to me

 

[RosesBlack]

I'm still scared of using heat. I have to admit I'm a little scared I won't be able to handle my hair once I reach my goal length. (About APL/BSL).

I am really anticipating being able to style my hair without damaging it. I'm also looking forward to trying some of the treatments I've read about.

Next up Henna!

 

[MuslimahTresses]

I am very scared of puting in all this hard work at being careful how i treat my hair and using all the right products for it, but never seeing any difference in it's health.

I am anticipating the rest of my life with healthy longer hair.

 

[LocksOfLuV]

I am scared of having another set back. Right now I am in a rut where I think (again) that maybe it's not meant to be for me to have long hair. I mean I was SOOO confident in my regimen and that it was doing me justice. I revamped it and I hope it works out. Please GOD it has to.

I am anticipating my next progress pics so I can see if this new reggie is working.

 

[lowkeyhomie]

Fear: Letting someone do my hair and seeing years worth of progress gone in lesss than two hours

Anticipating: How long my hair will grow

 

[jemscizir]

I fear that my transitioning may be in vain. Its been so hard and Ive lost so much hair. Also Im a little scared of the 4a/4b in me. Im doing my best to adjust.

I anticipate having long 100% natural hair like a lot of the ladies on this site. I usually lurk around and sneak peeks at their fotkis for inspiration. Thanks to all you naturals who have forged the road for me and made by transition easier by giving all of your tips..

Oh, I also fear failing my NCLEX exam next month. wish me luck

~Major setbacks

What I am anticipating.......
~THE END OF THIS YEAR/January!
~Apl ( or close to it ) hair blowing in the wind
~Haters (I'm ready for them. I already have people saying things behind my back about my hair. I will have the last laugh.) ​

 

[bablou00]

Im scared that when I move to NJ I will not have time to get back home to KC to get a relaxer and I might just go back to being a natural.... (wont happen )
Im scared that I am over my head about growing my hair out because I have been having setbacks and my hair hasnt been this long since I was a child.
I am anticipating what my hair will look like come Aug if I make it home to get a relaxer.
I am anticipating next year around this time when I am inches away from brastrap

 

[Zawaj]

Fear: My upcoming virgin relaxer. Yikes.

Anticpation: Seeing the length of my hair straight . I haven't straightened my hair in over 2 years!
