You know you are doing something right

[CurlyLawGal]

1. When you wear a twistout to work and your boss walks by your office and says "WOW I love your hair!" I never, ever, EVER got a compliment like that when I wore my hair flat ironed with no protective styling

(not that having your hair flat ironed is a bad thing, but this is a big deal to me since I have been a heat addict for the past year, or two, or three )

2. When you can make a bun without 8 million hair pins to hold the uneven, broken pieces.

Any others?

 

[kupenda]

1. When your mom, who hated how interested you were in hair, has now started asking for your regi

2. When your hair gets caught in your purse strap and it just makes you smile cuz you know it's growing

3. When you look at your hair and new hair products and automatically know what just will NOT work

4. When you see fewer broken bits on your hands

Yep, yep, yep! I can't wait until my hair gets stuck in my purse!

CurlyLawGal I can't wait for your hair to be long enough (it isn't?) to get stuck in your purse but I hope it never does. That mess hurts plus you can hear the strands pop.

* When a family member designates you as their hair care provider. (or in my case my niece's mother as made me guardian over my niece hair)
* When you get more compliments 6,7,8 months post relaxer than you did after a fresh touch up
* When you want to touch your hair all day (maybe just me...falling in love with my ng transition here )

Agreed with bold 100%

 

[Minty]

when you know by feel what your hair needs.

 

[closertomydreams]

When your best friend weave checks you and screams in awe and delight when she doesn't find any tracks! (Just happened and I'm too tickled about it.)

When you can put your hair in a high ponytail and it still brushes your shoulder.

When co-workers beg you to let your hair down.

I secretly loved when this happened!

 

[belldandy]

people ask what kind of hair you have installed.

 

[MrsSmitty77]

When your mother tells you "Your bun is so full, it looks fake." Happened yesterday. Yep!

 

[Raspberry]

When people pay close attention when you give hair advice.. that still takes me by surprise.

 

[caltron]

When you can look forward to going to the salon to get your touchups, because you know that you will be able to retain length instead of having to get a major trim.

When people comment about how much your hair has grown after each touchup.

When you can wear a white shirt and not have broken hairs all over it by the end of the day.

And yes, when your hair starts to get caught under your purse, coats, collar, etc!

 

[empressri]

When your nephews, who were boys that paid attention to NOTHIING except food, girls and video games are now young men that come over to your house...and ask if you can do their hair

They had me tickled pank!!! Two of them have cornrows so I them yes, I'll do their hair. I already had given them each a body of oyin handmade greg juice and said USE IT which they have been.

 

[MissAlinaRose]

1. When your SO starts asking you to help him pick out products for his hair to make it soft like yours lol (happened to me yesterday at the store)

2. When family members who talked about your BC or kinky hair are now asking you to help them grow their hair and make a nice and full twist out for them.

 

[BlkOnyx488]

when you post a picture of your hair on facebook and 20 ole highschool and college buds ask "Wow, is that YOUR hair?!!!"

cuz all they remember is yo' dried fried snap dragon folicles

 

[vandidix]

1) When you sister, whose hair has always been longer than yours says, "my hair is that long too when I straighten it." You're thinking thicker, maybe - longer, i don't think so.

2) You go to move your head forward and can't because your hair is stuck between your back and the couch. Happened last time I straightened.

 

[MyInvisibleChyrsalis]

When the women you admire flippantly comment on how put together you always look. *I actually choked on my bento box yesterday afer having that compliment thrown my way* They must be crazy.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE! I have to hi-jack this thread for a second! Msmchy You are so pretty! Do people tell you that you look like Keri Hilson?

Okay sorry ladies....carry on.

 

[SkySurfer]

I always think this as well. So gorgeous!

Also, when you accidentally roll your hair up in the car window, and when you find yourself accidentally chewing on your hair when you're trying to eat. Yeah...

 

[fairyhairy]

:notworthy MissAlinaRose I am at actually dying at your hair, this must be what hair heaven looks like

 

[MissAlinaRose]

fairyhairy Aww thank you!! You're too kind.

 

[Charla]

You know you're doing something right when you wear your hair in a puff and your own mama asks, "Is that ALL your hair or are you wearing a piece?" Made my day!

 

[JJamiah]

When you wash and blow out your hair and you wonder what feels so good it is your hair brushing your back in the lower spots and it tickles

 

[Ann0804]

On shampoo day, after detangling, blow-drying, and flat ironing- I look down on the floor to see no shedding.

 

[lovegymnasts]

When your Mummy is gushing to anyone who looks at you about your hair.

When you get that special feeling while you are walking around and you just know your hair is looking good and you have to stop your foolish self from doing a hair flip.
I've been wearing a braid-out this week. I was so feeling myself today.

 

[SoopremeBeing]

Oh darn, you took my answer. But yes that is a beautiful thing to see....or NOT see.

 

[Lucie]

When an old dude stops at your table to tell you how much he loves your hair and then happily returns to his own after sharing his feelings, LOL!

 

[HautePinkHeels]

You know you're doing something right when you get weave-checked twice in the same day at the BSS where you work.

1st: My Korean boss.
MKB: How long did it take you to sew that in?
Me: It's not a sew-in. I just took out the twists I had yesterday.
MKB: What?! Noooo. I don't believe so. Come here.
Me: *approaches*
MKB: *scratches my scalp* What?!



2nd: Some girl wanted a curly 27-piece.
Girl: *points to mannequin* I like this. Is that what you have in your hair?
Me: No...
Girl: Oh, what kind of hair do you have in?
Me: This is mine...
Girl: Oh... *silence* You have anything similar?



I didn't know my half-assed twistout could cause so much confusion
