Finally Weave Checked!

[CurlyMoo]

Ladies this is so exciting, it's finally happened.

I flat ironed my hair a few days ago and have been wearing it in a single braid. So as I walked to my mailbox my doorman got up from his desk and came up to me and said, "WOW your hair is so long, is that all yours." I nodded my head and said yes and then he proceeded to run his hand along my braid. I got my mail and started walking to the elevator he's still following me but this time he puts his arm around my shoulder and says, "Your hair is so beautiful, you don't see women with long hair unless it's weave or a wig, or they cut it. I can't wait to see you with your hair down. I hardly see you around anymore. We need to go out sometime."

I was so flattered by his questions and comments that it didn't dawn on me until I got up to my apartment that I WAS WEAVE CHECKED! And it didn't hurt. I didn't feel violated at all. I expected my first time to land me in jail but it was painless. Instead I was escorted from my mailbox to the elevator. :creatures

Here's the next day version of my braid. Ok it's a little crooked rattail but he seemed to like it.

LOL. Cute story. Just goes to show that not all weave checks have to be malicious or done condescendingly. But this was from a man, lol, we just need a nice story from a woman to another woman.

The women I did run into didn't say anything. Hmmm they didn't seem to notice either.

That's excellent! Your hair looks beautiful, you've done a great job!
Can't wait for my first weave check, hope the experience is as pleasant as yours

 

[robot.]

I can't wait until my mythical day comes!

 

[hairedity]

awwwwh, you sound so happy lol! ...I would be too! Congrats, your hair looks really nice!

Cute braid & story!!! Girrrl, that braid turned that man on big time! I can't even imagine what he will do when it's hip length. Congrats on you progress!

 

[beans4reezy]

Good for you! Your hair does look nice, I can see why you were checked

 

[MonPetite]

LOL, congrats!

Ahhh thank you. A hip length braid would be just dreamy.

 

[flowinlocks]

Much as I hate random people touching my hair I can say I would have been pleased. Your braid looks thick and healthy, that's probably why he couldn't resist. If he noticed, I'm sure some women have as well.

Congrats on your weave check..... Now did you not notice your mail man just asked you out? So what was your answer to that? We wanna know.

 

[jaiku]

I'm glad you didn't pull out your equalizer on him. lol.
For some reason I imagine him as a really old Black guy in my head.

Just keep doing you and you'll get there.

Cute story! Congrats! I've only been asked "is that all yours?". Idk how I'd feel about some srtranger touching me, let alone my hair!!!! Soooo did u say yes?

He was just flirting. Do you think he really meant to actually go out on a date? I told him to have a good night and stepped on the elevator. erplexed

He's actually a young friendly guy.

Yes I told him it was real. He's my doorman, I see him all the time. When I've worn my hair down in it's natural state he has complimented me. He thinks I have a lot of hair. This is the first time he actually touched it.

I understand wanting a weave check but seriously most experiences won't be like that. My MIL got me and if it had been someone I didn't know I would want to break her hands.

 

[caribgirl]

Loved this weave check report ! Lovely braid, girlie!

Weave check report. That's funny.

 

[panamoni]

That's a cute story -- congrats on the noticable progress!
Now, I'm looking forward to the day when someone runs their fingers through my hair (if it's as pleasant an experience as yours).

Ahhh CM I think the dude is at least half way serious. You need to watch him girlfriend the longer that ponytail gets the more advances he is going to make. When you make it to hip length he may ask you to be his bride and the mother of his children!

You know some men are just ga ga for long hair ladies!

Keep us posted on how this develops. Oh and congrats on all the hard work taking care of your hair.

Thank you Mscoco. I like him he is a nice friendly guy however he's not really my type. Now if only I can get my type to carress my braid.

 

[dragongirlmk09]

lol that guy is going to be hitting on you every time he sees you he more then likely that night had dreams about how nice your hair was.

 

[Ganjababy]

You have a beautiful braid! Nice and thick.

 

[Queen V]

Such a sweet story! Congratulations!

 

[Geminigirl]

Yay that was a nice weave check! I can't wait til I get weaved check. It probably would only be from a guy too cause if I see a female coming close to me with her hands I will be ducking and moving.

I don't mind when people ask me questions, but my literal "weave check" was not good at all. I posted a thread about it.erplexed

 

[LadyPaniolo]

Wow, somebody happy about a weave check! That's great!

I probably would have been irritated myself... but I'm glad you were able to see the big picture (that he was trying to compliment you) and not get mad at him.
