On WordPress, you get a Site Stats page which tells you when your website has been accessed from other sites/links. Well, a few days ago, I noticed I was getting a few referrals from this site. I clicked the link and … wha?!?! It was my entire post, pic included, on Breakage vs. New Hair … wait for it … translated in FRENCH!!!
Cheveux cassés ou cheveux qui poussent ?
Re !Et oui, comme d’hab, quand le post est trop court, je reviens pour une deuxième session. Là, ça va être un court – enfin j’espère – et pratique.Comme pour mon cas, j’imagine qu’il vous est déjà arrivé à toutes de rester perplexe devant vos cheveux en constatant une petite touffe hirsute bien plus courte que le reste qui semble jaillir du cuir chevelu, nan ? Mais siiii, vous savez, ça ressemble à des cheveux de bébé, un peu comme ça…

I was like, “Whoah!” Now, some may have been annoyed that their blog was reposted without a request/permission. But, seriously, though the thought crossed my mind, I was too flattered to worry about it!

This is funny! I have seen people pictures used on other sites but not a translation in another language of someone else’s blog. It is good that you are flattered, many would not be. 🙂

Miche’al, when I first saw it, I had that double take moment as everyone has asked me if they can repost so far. But, you know, I know everyone is not an expert about blog “protocol” (shoot, I’m not … just trying to figure it out as I go along). So, I also felt like it was done in a genuine way, wanting to share information with others and knowing that many of her audience might not understand English. A hyperlink wouldn’t work, so she translated but still included the link back to my site (as you guys noted). So, it’s all good=). It’s nice to find out that people are “talking” about your site. I’ve found referrers from the long hair care forums and another forum yesterday where woman whose names I haven’t seen in the comments have provided links to my site and recommended a style or two. It’s pretty cool=).

Dear Shelli
I have never left comments on a French blog….. Then imagine on an American blog ? 😉
But after reading your post, it became as an obligation !
I am in transition (last relaxer in January 2011), living in Guadeloupe (French West Indies) and reading regularly the French blog which you mentioned : And so I knew your blog (by “clicking” under the pic.) Since, I read to you daily.
Your hair are so healthy and gorgeous (OMG). But especially, I like your realistic way of telling us your everyday hair (and “non-hair”) life. It gives me a lot of comfort, support and sometimes ideas ! Thus, do be proud!!!
Friendly thoughts.
P.S. Thank you for being indulgent for my English, but my studies are now very distant !!

OMG Natasha, you just made my day!! Your message warmed my heart as I hope that I make everyone feel the same!! If there is every anything that you want me to talk about, please let me know and I’ll do my best to tell you what I know or research it to find some answers. I hope you continue to visit and find things that are helpful to you on your natural hair journey! Perhaps one day soon you can send me your transition story=). And though your English may not be perfect, it was very good in that I understood everything you were saying. Thank you again for the feedback and support. I am truly humbled by and appreciative of it!!
