Can I ask a DUMB question

[faithVA]

@Esthi777 There was a thread about Don Cheadle and his wife/gf and it got locked (I can't remember why - someone will hopefully clarify). Then in another thread someone suggested that when a thread gets poofed it shall now be considered "cheadled" - hopefully I got that right

Your explanation sounds right based on what I remember.

And what does "......- gate" mean? I never under the gate phrase/statement.

 

[Nix08]

divachyk "----gate" a political head will come and explain but I think it originated with the 'watergate' scandal. I think it just means that a scandal or sorts has developed and in turn has created a great 'pickle' for lack of a better term.

 

[divachyk]

The dumb question thread is the awesomest You're free to ask random stupidness and no one seems to mind; everyone pitches in and answers.

so what does # mean?

its a twitter thing. It just means emphasis is placed on the words right after the pound sign

divachyk, you felt my pain: that icon is more work than it's worth. Either that, or we're both pretty clumsy at using it.

I love the icon it takes less time for me now.

I just bold the name then move over and click the icon

What does "who gone check me boo" mean or where did it come from?

What does "who gone check me boo" mean or where did it come from?

That comes from the infamous thread started at the beginning of the year about threads people don't want to see in 2011 and "who gone check me boo?" means "who gonna have the cajones to tell me something about what i said??"

The actual quote 'who gone check me boo?' comes from Real House Wives of Atlanta's Sheree, I think season 2. She got into it with a male (and flamboyant) party planner. They proceeded to yell at each other, the she yelled that at him.

Nix08
I believe it originally came from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. One of the housewives Sheree Whitfield, has a confrontation with a businessman or ex-boyfriend about something and things got heated and Sheree, during the argument said that phrase. I think it meant that she could do what she wanted to do and no one can stop her, especially him.

Someone else may come and give you another interpretation, but that's how I remember it came about.

Myjourney2009 - I needs ta work on that icon thing. Tripped me up big time. Blame the user not the icon.

 

[Arian]

Question: I want my hair colored--red! Not a Rihanna Red, but a more tamed soft red. If I use semi-permanent hair color, will this alter my curl pattern? Hope this question hasn't been asked already.

Ok how do I articulate this ..... how do you put a word or phrase instead of the link address when you put a link somewhere...
for example instead of putting this link:
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=13943935#post13943935

how do I have it say "Blah Blah Blah" and when you click on it it goes to the link?

@Nix08 You would copy the link you want to use, then type Blah Blah Blah and then highlight it. Next you'd click on the icon above the window you're typing your post that looks like this:

and a window would pop up where you can paste your link. Once you hit Enter or OK, your phrase would become a link like this: Blah Blah Blah

It's easy to just finish posting what you want to post, then go find your link(s) by opening a new tab and then copy link and then highlight and convert the relevant words in turn.

 

[Nix08]

I was hoping you'd come and answer me Thanks lets see if this works....Blah blah blah

ETA: AAHHH!!! It worked!! Thanks Nonie!!!!!!

I've read it's more better to wear updos because when hair touches shoulders, and rubs on your cloths it can cause breakage, but what if it's only skin? like wearing a boobtube / strapless top, can it cause damage if ends rub against SKIN ????
as I said it may sound dumb but this thread is for this

 

[LadyRaider]

I have a similar question to the above. If I wear my hair in a pony puff so that it is off my shoulders, am I protective styling, or do my ends have to be tucked away for it to be considered protective styling?

 

[Nix08]

I believe if the ends are out but not rubbing on your clothes it's then a low manipulation style. As far as I'm concerned hair on my skin is a non-issue (but I guess the salt from sweat could pose a hazard) I airdry in a tank top for this reason and don't have splits (trim like twice a year).

How do you post a picture in your thread directly without having it be an attachment?

 

[Nonie]

How do you post a picture in your thread directly without having it be an attachment?

@levette You have to have the photo saved online somewhere (eg, on Fotki, Photobucket, or any photos hosting site)--not on your PC--so that it has an online URL and then follow these directions: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=13961737&postcount=296

I think with Fotki, for your photo to stay up, you have to be a premium member (meaning you pay for your account). Photobucket might be free. I don't use it so not sure.

I know this is very dumb, but how can you be sure you are retaining length? I'm in an install right now I do have some leaveout but I haven't noticed any breakage or split ends!

 

[winona]

So I want to make my wig less wiggy but I have no clue what parameters do I search for to get my answer. Can anyone help?

JJamiah and NikkiQ
Hope you ladies dont mind me mentioning you You seem to wear wigs very well

 

[Krystle~Hime]

I know Im retaining length when I check my hair progress with pictures, when I do length checks
also when my puff are bigger

 

[Krystle~Hime]

yes an afro puff is not a protective style, it's just a low manipulation style.
for being protective, ends are to be not exposed, so tuck ends, do a bun on your puff, add a phony pony...
