I Don't Know How Successful This Will Be...

**Melanizm** · 09-16-2005, 06:07 PM

but I want to start this post where everyone posts a picture of their hair shampooed/no pooed, conditioned, unmanipulated and dry w/ no products. I don't care if you have a TWA, locs, BAA or whatever, this post is for everyone.

This isn't to judge anyone or anything like that. This is just something I'm not seeing a lot of, myself included, and I want to see it

I just want to see a post here with lots of pictures of unmanipulated natural hair. I know I can go look at albums but that's not the point of what I'd like to do. I'm kind of fighting my own issues with this and challenging myself to look at what I think I believe versus what my actions show I believe so please, no one take this personally. I'm not saying using products or styling is wrong.

Anyway, I plan on washing my hair this weekend so I will post my pic then. Please participate yall ^_^

ETA: and this doesn't have to get all technical...if you want to wear an accessory in your hair or something like that's fine...the main point is hair that's showing off the natural unstretched texture without products

I think that this is a fabulous idea! It seems that so many of the pics of I see of natural hair (especially from other boards and especially the 'texture shots&#39

are weighed down with a ton of product or conditioner. That's all good, but sometimes I just want to see some unlubricated, ungreased naps.

I plan on washing my hair this Sunday, so I'll be sure to post some pics after it dries sans product

i almost posted a pic, then i saw 'dry' and that i don't do! i do have pics of my hair half-dry, without product but at that point i gotta put something on

i look forward to seeing pics though, and if i remember when i take down my twist in a few weeks i'll take one myself!

It's amazing how your hair reacts when you don't use ANY products or pick it out.

Unmanipulated & wet w/ no products

Unmanipulated (except for the hair tie) & dry w/ no products.....wash-n-go

Thanks, Mel.

Ooooh, Dewdrop. Someone else w/ chunky hair. I don't see that too often in the albums. That's what took me so long to determine my hair twin. LOL.

(jumping up and down and wishing i was at home to add my pic)

by the way, how do you add the pic in the post? oh, is it the IMG thing over the post?

ETA: great idea mel. i have been feeling down b/c i'm not too creative to do a lot of styles, so i would love to see some unmanipulated hair up in this piece!!!
