Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Soaring Eagle

Singin’ the praises of the baggy method
Thinking about cutting my hair to even it up. The length difference between my crown and the sides of my hair is starting to get annoying. It’s only noticeable to me but still...
I sometimes feel the same way. But, although I love the look of blunt hair, I am not willing to sacrifice the time it will take to reach my length goals just to have it.

I do enjoy living vicariously through youtubers with blunt hair though.....

I stay living vicariously through naturals who keep their hair straight more than 50% of the time!! I'd love to live that life, but I love wash n'gos too much to be risking heat damage :nono: . Once I hit WL though, it might by on and poppin! :lol::lol:

I can relate to this too. I used to say when I got to Waist length I would do this and that... now I am close to being Waist length and I’m like “maybe when I get to tailbone”.... It just never feels like you have enough hair once you start growing it.

Oh my gosh, I can definitely relate. I keep putting off "styling/stretching" my hair until i reached mbl, then i said WL, now that I'm close to HL I STILL don't play with my hair. Maybe when I get to knee length I'll experiment haha! *puts bonnet on*

I had the perfect waves when I took out my pigtails, but apparently if you part your hair straight back down the middle, that's a permanent commitment and it's there forever.

Son of a biscuit. *pouts*

lol I've been parting in quarters on wash day for so long that I'm pretty sure my middle part is permanent, from my forehead to my nape. It doesn't help that I also style along that part because it's easier to work with it than against it. My grandmother hates middle parts and I wasn't allowed to wear one growing up but it actually looks good on me so idc.

Funny story (I don't think I've told this yet):

While I was in the beauty supply store some months back. I went down a isle and saw a woman with a "failed" narural style (she was adorable). She turns toward me and to my surprise she says "Oh my gosh YOUR HAIR! its like GOLD". Then she proceeded to tell me about hair, that it's dry and don't act right. I told her what product I use (curl activator). I said "feel my hair, how moist it is, this is why my hair is long lol". I took my style down right there in the middle of the isle so she could see and feel for herself. I was shocked when she dug her fingers in my scalp and roots :lachen: I'm thinking shes just going to feel how soft my hair is, but no honey she had to check FIRST if it was actually all my hair. After her examination she was impressed.
By time we were done talking she snatched that bottle of Care Free Curl Gold Activator so fast! I said "Thats the STUFF." She left happy. I hope she likes it as much as I do. Curl Activator is the troof. :lachen:

*sigh* I always wanted to work at a BBS.

@Artemis24 Dang, what grandma have against middle parts lol

She hated the way they looked lol. When I was in high school, I had my hair straightened and let the stylist part it however. I got home and as soon as she looked at me she made me change the part. I'm grown now and do whatever I want. She doesn't say anything because she knows I won't listen but I wonder if she still hates it.

Lol! That's a cute story. It's so nice to help people who are natural and having trouble.

I creep on people in the hair aisle. While I'm looking at products if someone with natural hair swings by I watch and see what they pick up, whether their hair looks nice or not, just being straight up nosey lol.

Who the HECK bought out all of the Garnier Fructis Legendary Olive in my area? Can't find it in Shoppers, Giant, Weis, Target... what on earth!! I thought we were all supposed to be friends. :(

(No I haven't tried Wal Mart yet, it gives me anxiety but that's the last place I have left to check).

Same!! I passed wal-Mart on purpose on my quest for yarn. went all the way (2.5 miles) to an arts & crafts store to get black yarn (to do yarn locs).

Those lines are crazy in Wal-Mart check outs! The other day i had to go in there and at the check out I saw a man cursing out his wife like a mad man. Her confidence was shot! I just had to have that $8.99 peacan pie with my greedy self.

Last week while at work (In corporate America):

That morning I was feeling a little motivated while styling my hair that morning. So I thought it would be nice to do a high bun (my buns are extremely large), and I also wanted a bang. So I did that and went on to work. *whisles*

Later on that afternoon I'm sitting at the desk and this man (the office jokester?) strolls past my cubicle and looks at me and says "I dont know about that hair do Missy, Im not liking it too much!"

I smiled at him while looking deeply into his eyes (for 3 seconds, which is a lot). I then looked down (still smiling) and looked back up at him and said "Its too bad that I don't care WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY HAIR". He completely hesitated! He actually looked disappointed. I was extra dramatic/creepy the way I responded. :lachen:. What....you thought I'd be hurt? Make me laugh again.
