Why the “ladies” of LHCF.com are so mad

Sandra Rose August 25, 2008

Thank you to loyal reader Ateyaa for sending this video. Ateyaa is a hair stylist who took the time to make a video about taking proper care of our own hair rather than throwing dollars at expensive salon treatments.

Well, the “ladies” of the Long Hair Care Forum took offense and gathered their forces to attack Ateyaa! They hounded and harassed her until she felt the need to make a second video telling them to back off.

I don’t have anything else to say about those “ladies” of the LHCF. But clearly they think they are the end all be all of black hair care and they cannot tolerate any independent thinkers in their midst. I apologize if I have offended any of my loyal readers who are members of that forum.

I stopped the video when I saw she spelled “tutorial” incorrectly.

Damn that girl got some beautiful hair. Still I don’t miss going through all that mess to keep my hair healthy. With my dreads I don’t have to worry about anything. It still breaks when I color it as I have extremely coarse yet weak hair, but with the dreads the breakage is not noticable. I use the tea tree shampoo and conditioner exclusively because I was told it’s good for penetrating the dreads. Before my daughter switched to sista locks I used Aphogee products on her and I loved it because she has very tangly hair and those products really helped with that.

LOL seems like I am getting some backlash as well. A friend of mine who is a member of the board said Ive been put on blast on LHCF because of my post on the previous LHCF thread. I dont see how or for what..who cares. Not that serious..get a life. But I will retract and say I dont know how the “new” ladies are.. I just know some friends who still frequent the board tell me the newbies are a bit off..but hey I dont go on the board. I will clarify and say the insane were not in the hair board, but just the standard off topic post.

Anywho..Sandra you have started some cyber wars talking about these ladies.
shhhh

I couldn’t stomach that video, the chick is irratating as hell. How can she claim to know so much about hair when she’s tying her hair down with a “cotton” rag? Ha! Girl please!
shhhh

Oh and by the way, I don’t even know what or who Long Hair blah blah site is. Don’t care to know either.

And Sandra my hair does the same thing as hers, but it’s down my back so I’m not mad. Just telling it how I see it.
Sharonda

Love Ateeya!Them chicks over at the forum are militant as hell.I didn’t even know what that was until Sandra mention it.I use Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx when I colored it and still using it because I love that stuff.At first I was using the Glossing system by him and my hair felt really good.Anyways, if you take care of your hair you should have no problem.Long hair, short hair it don’t matter and like I said before just because your hair long don’t mean it’s healthy.I can spot split ends from afar.

@ shhhh… you should really watch the video before you comment because if you did you would know that she uses a cap and then places the “rag” ONTOP of that just to secure it… Ateyaa has beautiful hair and if this is what works for her, then I can appreciate her spreading her knowledge. You sound like one of those chicks from LHCF that Sandra and Ateyaa are talking about!!!

IMO – They’re mad at her because the products she’s using are not organic.
But they have no right to attack her.

I’m trying to get away from non-organic products, and shampoos with laurel sulfates in them; but if that works for the next person – more power to them. The options are there, everyone can make their own choice. The more organic products give my hair more moisture.

There are some natural hair, coily heads, that use some of those products, too, on their hair in its natural state. So… Whatever works for you. Them chicks should know that.

Additionally, she’s going to promote hair remedies specific to how she was trained professionally, and what she thinks a healthy hair regimen is (hence her professional training). This is how she makes her living, and most Black beauticians think as she does. They are going to hustle, promote, what they know and benefit from. They are dispositioned to support and feed into the current black hair care industry structure, where the non-blacks are profiting the most from our hair care product purchases.

The hair care solutions promoted on lhcf.com and other sites like nappturality.com, and even naturallycurly.com, promote products produced by African-descendant owned hair product companies that have lest harmful, more organic, ingredients.

And it is true that not everyone has to purchase high end or expensive products for their hair. I have to, but not everyone does.
omina-homina

I understand she’s promoting her own type of hair regimen that works for her…but is she anti-nappy?

Is she anti-organic.

Does she understand how the hair care industry works, and how it’s raping Black folks out of profits?
omina-homina

wait, she’s not even a licensed beautician.
shhhh

@#9

You right, I dind’t watch her video, because I can’t stand a ***** that act like she a 10 when she’s hardly a 3 or 4.

I don’t care what you think I sound like. I said I didn’t know the place in question and that’s what I mean. I don’t like women in my RL so I’m sure not going to entertain with them on the Internet.

What you need to understand is this is a message board and people are going to have a difference of opinion. I’m going to say what I’m going to say. Who are you to question my opinion? Now you sound like one of those women Sandra is talking about
shhhh

@ #12

That’s what I’m saying. Anybody hair will and can look like that if you keep your ends clipped and wrap it. I don’t get what makes her an expert. I guess these days anyone that makes a youtub video they’re an instant celeb.

Damn…it seems like every other post someone is getting upset…can we all just blog and be happy?
Lucy

I would love for her to do my hair. Where does she work anyone know?

@14:

Hold up. But did you see her extension video? she killed it. She did a good job! Wow.

I watch a lot of youtube beauty tutorials, and even if the person says/or is licensed – all advice taken and applied is at my own discretion. lol. Even so called professional can give bad advise.

“I stopped the video when I saw she spelled “tutorial” incorrectly”

Interesting video.. I’ve never heard of that Ageha product stuff.

I like ateya’s make up videos alot. I’m sur eher hair tips are good too, but I can’t be bothered with doing it myself.
Sharonda

You don’t have to be a “licensed beautician” to know what you talking about.Really it isn’t that hard.I know chicks who are not even licensed and have better sense then most who are licensed.She don’t even have to be organic because being all organic don’t mean it’s good.
http://www.myspace.com/shaylacheri MsShayinGA

This is off topic, but Im posting it under both LHCF posts because an individual by the name of Marie170 on LHCF is lurking on this board and posting things back and forth that we are saying..this is childish boo..read your comment and nope wasnt trying to be discreet at all. Thanks for thinking it was so important to post my pic on the board and call me out..thanks boo boo!! .. Go ahead and start ish on here and get banned for being silly..

Tis all!

Wait a minute. Is all of this about HAIR? What next, a fingernail forum fight?

Everyone involved in this melee is a ‘tard.

(She has nice hair though.)

@ shhhh

I feel what you are saying chill out!!! I was simply stating that you didn’t watch the video and judged it off an inaccurate assumption!!! I know that you have your own opinion and you are most definitely entitled to that but the point that I was trying to make was watch the video before you comment on it. If you watch the entire video and THEN have a negative opinion thats all well and good. I wasnt trying to tell you what to think or say… I can understand that you may not like her personality! But you immediately dismissed her opinion without giving it a chance… Ya feel me??
Coo Coo Bananas

I stopped the video after seeing “turotial.”

Never heard of this place…I cut off 11 inches of hair in October to donate to locks of love (they need some black folk hair there too) and now am in the process of growing it back…dern I miss it!

chocolatedrop

Lol … not on SR.com …the post would be oh so boring. We agree to diagree, debate and discuss .. I love that portion of it. Some people just get a little bit more emotional than others.

I agree with you…. I was thinking the same thing when she said she uses a cotton cap, for a factcotton caps do dry your hair out.
Ateya

As I state in ALL MY VIDEOS….this is what works for ME.

I do makeup, model, actress and I also cook.I am a MAC PRO ARTIST so I try to show what some people charge people to do cause that is just my character.So its all positive there.So thank all of you for your comments here good and bad.Everything in life will not work for everyone but at the end of the day…I WILL BE HAPPY cause GOD guides all my steps.So stay blessed…Heart ya!
karaz

Ateya, I really like that makeup you did for the girls in Holland and I watched the clip of that short movie, does the movie have its own website?
Ateya

He is out of Houston Texas and he is only on youtube right now but he is DOING BIG things in H-Town.He was at film festival in LA and they are interested in some of his work so you will see him soon..he is great!
