"You dont even have any hair!"

[PinkSunshine77]

I would've let my hair out and whipped it in her face.

Under the dryer now with a roller set. Wearing it down tomorrow before the afternoon chop.

So Friday afternoon, I was leaving out of my work building the same time as an older white lady and we talked about weekend plans. I told her that I was thinking of cutting my hair into a bob and she said, "why? You don't even have any hair!" As you can see in my avatar, I am BSL, longer than her hair actually. That day I was wearing a bun, but I do wear my hair out every once in a while. I guess it just bothered me that this white lady assumed I had no hair!

They're jealous.

I would have lost my job. I goes hard for my hair and will result to mockery, name calling, and calling out mothers.

I've gone in on co workers before. You're a better woman than I!

Saw her this morning as soon as I walked in and she said my hair looked nice. Anyway, I went ahead and chopped. Went to Super Cuts and got cut by a black lady there. $15!

Your hair looks good! You got any pichas of the swanging roller set?

 

[Super_Hero_Girl]

Eh, screw her. Her opinion means absolutely nothing.

I don't think bsl is considered short by many people at all.

Harina I agree. Most white folks I see day to day have hair anywhere btw sl- mbl. I think SL is short to yt folks but not BSL.

I think the problem is that black women have diarrhea of the mouth and tell/talk too much.... then YT folks apply it to all all of plays a role & we could turn into another thread, SMDH)Many black women run around talking about how they hate their hair, that they don't wash it, and black hair doesn't grow. I am also regularly around stank, funky hair that hasn't been washed in eons when I get on the subway cause some black women still believe dirt makes your hair grow. I know all of us don't do this but there are enough. I also have to remind myself that what we do on the forum doesn't apply to very many people IRL.

I like your bob BGT the length is perfect and it will look cute wavy & curly as well.

^I completely agree. A lot of it is based on us telling all of our business. I remember my first college roommate watched me towel dry my freshly washed hair in shock and say "But I thought black girls don't wash their hair." I asked her where she got that idea from and she said a black girlfriend.
