I havent had a good experience there. The women their can be so rude and cruel with their responses to your posts. I think they pick fights because its entertaining. They just go in a thread hunting for a cat fight. I started a thread in it was like i was in a boxing ring. Do any of yall ever visit LHCF and posted?

Yeah they got thier favs over there. I have seen some posters get the royal beat down and other highly praised on the same topic. Some of those threads are ridiculously long for no good reason, and If I see that thread about that henna come up one mo time I swear... Former LHCF know what I am talking about.

Most of the gals over there are very helpful. But, some of them have these fanatical ways regarding their hair....afraid to wear their hair down for fear of someone cutting it off, ...afraid to let someone touch their hair (I am not talking about letting a stranger touch their hair, but some won't even let their spouses etc. touch it!), ...hair regimes that get in the way of their relationships with their spouses or significant others,...afraid that if they miss a tiny step in their routine that their hair will fall out the very next day...at times it is a bit much! Sometimes I get tired of reading about someone who thinks they are going bald because they found "2" strands of hair in the sink. A little irrational at times.

What do I think? I think it's ghetto as he** and completely unorganized. Sorry. I get upset just thinking about it! lol. I really don't like it at all. I was very disappointed after paying my little $10. Someone is makin' a killin though! This site is organized. I don't have any issues finding a particular topic or even finding old posts. But in LHCF the same things get posted repeatedly because the site is so unorganized and doesn't really have ANY subcategories. So, you have thousands of people posting different topics under one main topic. Too frustrating!!!

I just browse there. But Despite its having it fair share of issues, it does give help to women of color who want to grow their hair out or just have healthy hair. So I have some respect for all the ladies there.
All fourms have their issues, but thats apart of the whole online fourm deal. But that are doing ther "job" wheather we like the way they do it or not.

I guess my response was too general....LHCF does provide some great hair & product advice and I am noticing that people I see posting on sites I like post there so I am not saying that everyone there is mean but there have been some threads that have gotten pretty nasty and that was disappointing to me because most of us are on these hair sites because we don't receive support for our hair choices from family--friends etc. So I should say that I have seen some rotten apples but overall the site is good but I prolly still won't join

This thread is funny. I have to say that I enjoy visiting LHCF. It is very informative and have gotten my hair healthy again. Some of the ladies are over the top, but there is a lot of valuable information on there and other sites that help black women take care of their hair. I just renewed my membership over there.

 @ Henna Thread comment
I've been a member of the LHCF for 4 years now. There is a great deal of information regarding hair health (and how to maintain a healthy body). Yes there is drama there at times, but there is drama everywhere. I just don't post and move onto the next thread.
I have noticed that there is favortism with certain members and when they start a new thread it seems like EVERY member post on it. But when I notice newbies that start a thread, you will barely get 2 comments!!  sugaplum2007-09-04 12:42:020 % Badd``d $ . |

I had the same experience with Black Hair Media.
Favoritsm, boot lickin' and nobody wanted to answer questions, bullies given to much say so on who is a troll and who is not, whatever the hell that is I was a newbie, and was askin' a very direct, simple question, and some ignant' huzzy had the tamerity to step to me 'bout lookin at the archives, AND dONT ASK QUESTIONS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN ASKED...HELL NAW! which some of the members admitted the archives were not very organized.........I vamped....I'm not that desperate for info it's not THAT serious to me....
No. not me, I'm not gone let it go, I got PO'd spoke my peace and got the hell out.

Well I have to offer my opinion on BHM and the "directives" for newbies to search for information.. I've spent the MAJORITY of my time on BHM in the Weaves/Extensions forum.. I'd like to think that I have been a "helpful" contributor on BHM for those posts where I've contributed advice and/or suggestions..
I have suggested to newbies to search for threads. Particularly when I know that there is an abundance of information ALREADY there on the topic they have asked about.. I have suggested HOW to search for and find the information, and occasionally have even posted search results for newbies.. There is a VERY good Weave/Extensions 101 sticky thread chock FULL of information, and I even created a personal webpage too which contains lots of useful threads, links and other helpful information.
For me personally the issue is the members who have made it clear in their posting that they know the information they are seeking is there, but they just flat out have NO INTEREST in helping themselves. I see these posts all the time.. Members who STRAIGHT up say they don't wanna look for the information.. Then there are the newbies who swear that they have been reading the weave/extensions forum for years/months, then ask a question that is covered in the Weaves/Extensions 101 thread.. Well I don't get that.. If they've been "reading for months/years" how do they NOT know about this thread?? It's a sticky note at the TOP of the Weaves/Extensions forum!!!!
When I first came to this forum and BHM, I came seeking specific information.. (In my case I was searching for hair vendor data) I spent a LOT of time searching and reading posts to at least ATTEMPT to get the information for myself.. I only posted questions when I could not find the answers on te forum.. I don't mind helping others, but when someone makes it clear that they don't FEEL that they need to take the time to try and help themselves, then I feel no particular obligation to be helpful either. The fact is the women who particpate and contribute the advice, ideas, and suggestions to these forums do so because they want to.. Not because they HAVE to.. Those members who CLEARLY post questions and sit back and wait for answers after making NO ATTEMPT to get the information for themselves will not get any help from me.. %! ied t`` $( b !, bb ,(,% ,%,!(%-,-- Bb ,

I, personally, don't care for LHCF. I have an account there, but it doesn't let me do anything. I think it's because you have to pay a membership fee. I usually just go there to look for the features of the month, then I visit their fotki accounts to see their hair progress and routines.

as far as i'm concerned i don't post there altho i'm a member, i just lurk b/c i think their hair information is awsome and much more informative and they study it down to a science IMO more than BHM's growth section.. to me BHM's growth section appears to make up stuff as they go along without producing convincing results for my liking.. but at least i see real results of the women's hair that is actually growing very long on the LHCF as opposed to seeing any overwhelming results on BHM's growth section.. i could less if they are catty altho i've not experienced that b/c like i said i don't post, i just read and learn.. i'm not trying to make friends i'm trying to see what they've learned or their experiences on what products give good results.. and IMO there is much more fighting and drama at BHM than there ever has been on LCHF..

 Hey Diva what's good Ma'? I'm Still over here doin' the dang thang.
My POV--
When you put yourself out there as a resource (LHCF, BHM etc) why act ignorant when someone approaches you with questions. I reiterate it was far too much stupidity for me, I was not of the mind to lay low and soak up the info. Where was I going to gain clarification if I had questions about the info provided? Now I will visit certain sections(BHM) because they had a lot of outside resources listed there, but as far as on the regular interacting...it was a comedy hour, except wasn't a damned thing funny when I had in genuine folks coming at me lopsided.
"This trick had the temerity to call me a troll, and tell all the vendors to beware of me b/c I did not know what I wanted...HELL...that's why I was asking questions!!!
Tell ya' how psychotic she is ...she and I had the tiff originally inside of PM and this imp went and posted the entire private message so that she could get her "gang" to cosign her BS. So many of the members chimed in behind her b/c she got them supplies and did favors for them. Now what that let you know? ? ?
They want to pride themselves on being a resource but wont do the work to back it up.
It is a felony the
stupidity, and childishness!!
I am a very resourceful woman, and I have found individuals that are helpful like Diva vocals, and less than a handful of others who are very approachable
SOOOO To all those morons who tried ti Diss-Miss-Anomis
KISS MY GRITS!!! quick-trick
ps.
naw I do not need anger management

as far as i'm concerned i don't post there altho i'm a member, i just lurk b/c i think their hair information is awsome and much more informative and they study it down to a science IMO more than BHM's growth section.. to me BHM's growth section appears to make up stuff as they go along without producing convincing results for my liking.. but at least i see real results of the women's hair that is actually growing very long on the LHCF as opposed to seeing any overwhelming results on BHM's growth section.. i could less if they are catty altho i've not experienced that b/c like i said i don't post, i just read and learn.. i'm not trying to make friends i'm trying to see what they've learned or their experiences on what products give good results.. and IMO there is much more fighting and drama at BHM than there ever has been on LCHF.. [/QUOTE] Dag i am a memmber on BHM and I haven't had any problems i stay on there than LHCF. angelninjachick2008-03-08 17:39:07!$% BH,`p "$ -!, 2 ($b` ) , -,-!, ( @@

I tend to ignore those "magical growth potions" threads that seems to go waaay overboard, but other than that the growth section is my fav. I love the challenges and progress shots. I try to ignore the drama but sometimes it get so crazy you have to just take a break and relax somewhere else. $- P cn`dp0% 00BB .(4`p /.%%%,$-$)),!--,b` %4

Well whatever a troll is, it did not include me, nor define my situation, once again it makes me sore b/c some (not all women of color) do act just that way in their shops. I am speaking from my very own lived experiences.
As a moderator, I try to be an ambassador when there may be some disconect instead of a childish instagator of silliness. I take my hair, skin and nails quite seriously, it's not about vanity, but rather health promotion.
At the time the mods sat there and did absolutely nada. I snatched out and went on my merry way.
Sexibeach, you breathing air into this topic is an excellent thing b/c newbies((and other members)) in need of assistance, have a variety of feed back about what goes on in certain forums, and that is a good thing. They can move forward with an open mind and have thier own individual experience. Folks turn to these forums for all sorts of reasons, hair loss d/t allopecia, Cancer, aging, etc they need real answers, not antagonism.
I would tell anybody....TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND LEAVE THE REST, FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN USE IT, YO. Anomis2008-03-08 20:17:34

oh no not you for sure, i could have named those that were trollish, they would get band and come back again like the night of the living dead.. which is something i could never understand.. thanks so much i'm only telling the truth, and it wasn't just trollish behavior in the growth section it was everywhere on that board.. i just couldn't get with alot of those potions they made up for hair growth, and b/c if you weren't apart of their group of friends they didn't listen to you, or want you might have to offer.. i didn't need information from them i was only trying to give information to them, and they would act like i wasn't there even tho i was a mod.. so like you say take what you need and leave the rest!!
and yes that's why i put that thread together for those women that do suffer with hair loss, cancer, and allopecia to learn knowledge about lf's.. b/c if the information was at this forum they could learn it here b/c it does matter to women going thru hair loss issues.. i started the newbie threads there, and that's why people go there, but it would be nice to have the information here as well..

Thanks for chimn' in Miss Sweet
...................another case in point.
I will search HB, and see if I can find some "potions" that promote long hair growth. I use Shae Butter, and I like how smoothe it makes my natural kinks feel, just so soft. I am open to any suggestions as well.
If I come across anything I will let you all know.

Wow, I think both BHM and LHCF has a wealth of knowledge. BHM is on their game when it comes to weaves and lacefronts like no other. LHCF is on point when it comes to healthy hair regimes. Nappurality has knowledge on how to care for natural hair with support for those sisters. As for drama, I've seen it on all sites.
On both sites, I use the search button and read through the "101" thread. Honestly, I get annoyed reading a question that already been answered in the basic section. As for searching the BHM forums, people always complain it doesn't work but I've never had problems. I like the organization of it better.
LCHF the threads just seem thrown together. I wish it was organized more. However, some ladies do display an stuck up attitude due as in hair superiority based on them having length.
Naptural--love the support for us nappihead but sometimes annoyed at the militants attitude.
I don't like that both have bandwagon episodes like crazy.
However, I do like this board for it's laid back atmosphere. Actually, I am glad BHM went down because it's now bringing action to this board in the AA haircare side.

Well that darn search on BHM never worked for me! LOL... Honestly as a member of BHM, HB, LHCF AND Nappturality, I think all of the hair boards are helpful and even though a lot of the info is related each board brings a different piece of the picture. I love LHCF (even though I am a non paying member, is anyone a paying member? What are the additional benefits? I am a college student so my budget is kinda tight even if its just $5.) They have soooo much info on hair care. I think those women know pretty much everything...they are writing books, producing DVDs, and making their own hair products over there. I think that BHM is a good place to start just to get the basics. I like the TTT section even though it is kinda getting creepy with the psychos, and all that drama in the KIR section. People in natural section are nice. Never seen drama in the natural section of BHM. Although I have seen the LF section get pretty darn ugly at times. I don't think the hair boards are all that bad its just a few bad seeds that could give a decent hair board a bad rep.

I will chime in - Diva Vocals is BEGGIN' me to come here. I left BHM and headed for LHCF....And I have not really had a bad experience. I love it.
My reasons for leaving BHM were varied - and I post a couple "hmmm's" here and there - but my siggy now says where to find me.
Both Forums are a wealth of knowledge. However, I do think it comes to personal preference. I think many people have explored options on all 3 boards ( as I see many familiar folks ) So - hey I guess it is what it is.
I feel Supported at LHCF. I was at BHM for almost 2 yrs, and had too many run in's with "youngin's" and immaturity. There were too many arguements and so much bad blood between folks.
I hid in the Natrual Hair section and felt really supported there...As A Mod - I felt like folks hated me anyway - But I never really moderated anything because of ENDLESS Dramatics......I also have personal preferences about adult content on a hair board.
Once the site went down, and the search function became unbearable. I left for good.
So - My verdict is that I love LHCF. Hey, I can say this without being arrogant....I have long hair these days. So - I guess that is where I should be.
