The art of holding your tongue...

She isn't worth your time, just ignore her.

But her hair is shorter than mine too!

Next time she say somethin about your hair....take it out that bun and show her the lusciousness...then tell her to do the same.

And like always...give her both a neck brace and some hello kitty band aids for her eyes.

true my cousin asked me, why do you relax your hair if you just keep it back into a bun! I just said because I like this style

I don't need to rock a Rihanna due to be cool, which is what most of my friends and their daughters have.

Man...where is my girl Adora for threads like this??!!

^^ lmao at that




^^^^ That x 10


I have learned to just pick my battles...sometimes it is just not worth arguing with folks....Because if they have an opinion it becomes fact in their mind...I learned this best just from being on several forums....Some people just feel strongly about things and everyone else's opinion becomes a battle of words that at the end of the day "who cares".....Keep doing what you do and literally blow her off...If it is not a battle that is worth your while and that you will gain anything in the end from...Keep it moving....some people just always have to have something to say and have the last word....Because they speak louder or type longer they feel they are making a point vs an *** of themselves.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

In situations like that, silence will always be more powerful than confrontation.

next time she has something to say about it, tell her you don't come to work to decorate her world.

and another good comeback when folks like to say cowashing/buns/henna/etc break off your hair, ask "oh, is that why your hair is like that?" and point when you say 'that' for emphasis.

or when they say grease/not washing for a month/relaxing every 48 hours will make your hair grow, say "oh, is that what you do to your hair?" all interested and when they say yes say "oh, well i'll pass then".


i'm so 8itchy. ♥

***UPDATE***

This was the conversation on Friday....

Co-Worker: I have to go pick up a relaxer to do my hair because I have to go to a funeral tomorrow.

Me: Didn't you just relax your hair?

CW: That was a month ago.

Me: Why don't you just do a rollerset? I'll set it for you.

CW: You may be able to get a comb through your hair after a month but I can't and I am not trying to go to that funeral looking like Puff the Magic Dragon!

Me: erplexed

I had a person once tell me I needed to get my weave professionally done. This was coming from a person that had a weave that looked like tumble weed in the back, a big matted bush. I didn't say anything, wasn't worth it, but inside I just smiled to myself.

You know what you're doing, so don't even waste your time on her. Having your healthy hair down your back will speak volumes.

Next time she tells you your hair is going to break off if you keep it in a bun, you should ask her if that's what happened to her hair.

OMG!!!
