Ivey14, congratulations on reaching WSL! Your hair is :drool:

LadyPaniolo, your ponytail is so pretty! Are you going to flatiron or leave it alone? I'm under the dryer right now and I'll flatiron, then post a picture. I am going to an indoor pool this Sat with my DD so I won't have straight hair for too long. I probably will straighten every other weekend now and alternate between curly and straight till end of May. After June there's no taming this mane.

Right now I have it cornrowed up. I have actually gone out a few places with my hair in my little cornrows and felt ok about it. It was too warm out to put on a wig, and I like my little braids.... they hang to APL. I'm trying to stay away from the flat iron. It takes forever and a day to get it straight, and then it just gets curly again as soon as I wash/moisturize it.

I know EXACTLY how you ladies feel about hair anorexia. I see ladies on here and think :lovedrool: Her hair is so long! But then I feel like my hair is soooo short. Even when I look at my siggy I can objectively say my hair is long... but it still feels short to me :spinning::spinning::spinning::spinning: I'll bet classic length will still feel short. It's a mental disease, I swear it!

I was loving that lady on V's hair, but no way in this whole world would I try to do a style like that. Your hair has to be relaxed to even consider it. And I will NEVER go back to the chemicals, come Hades or high water.

BM, I thought about announcing that I reached WL yesterday, but, I held back because I know people are gonna argue that my sides haven't reached it so I'm not *technically* at WL. BUT, my hair (& yours) is in its natural V shape so that's when things can get a bit complicated.

If it were cut blunt, I'd probably be a true, full, MBL though. :look: *shrugs* I guess as always, it's all a matter of perspective.....and your hair shape. :ohwell:

I'm certainly not going to cut my hair to satisfy the Hair Police!! :stop:
THIS is the reason why I don't claim anything on this board: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=454518

Isn't that just horrible? It'll probably be closed down soon.

LadyPaniolo, no way I would ever cut my hair that short either. I'd have to relax it or flatiron the sh*** out of it. Otherwise I'd just have a TWA :grin:

that's what i'm hoping.... i really dont want my hair to hit the floor and talking about "just 3 more inches and i'll be done" :lol:

Just 3 mooorrre... give me that juice :alcoholic: :lol:
No I think it's just that WL is hard to claim until you're grazing or reached HL. Even if I still want more length I'm not going passed TL (it's just 3 inches for me) seriously I'll just suck it up and do a 12-step.

When I reached WL 1st time I didn't claim it, people claimed it for me when I saw congratz you're WL I was :grin:

I don't measure my hair from hairline etc... that would just make me crazy frustrated.
HL on me is 3 inches below my waist or in my fotki pics the top of my low-rider jeans

Did you guys hear something? LOL

I'm a giant 5'4" gal

I have no idea where hip length is on me. I confuse hip length with tailbone. Does it start at the top of my hips?

Well I kinda felt for my hip bone and traced a line from it to my back:look: . It's pretty much where people wear their pants now lol.

Hair Manners: A Light-Hearted Look
From: http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip195.htm

Author: Jane L. Bullock


Introduction

In the spirit of Miss Manners, there are definitely some hair-related manners. This goes for long and short hair, and every hair in between.
I realize we all have busy lives, and who needs another set of rules to live by, but consider the higher purpose of manners.
Manners are set modes of behavior by which we keep at least the veneer of civilization lemon-waxed and shining. Manners are the art of not doing something that would offend others.
So how does this apply to hair?

· Do not comb your hair at the table. People are eating, and do not want stray hair in their food.
· Do not play with your hair in public unless you are a child. (And if you are, someone will tell you to quit it soon enough.)
· Do not pluck your eyebrows in public (see #1).
· Do not leave stray hairs in the sink when you comb your hair in the bathroom. People do not want to clean up your hairs.
· Ditto--the tub.
· While we're on the subject, do not leave hairs wrapped around the soap in the shower. Of course if you live alone, then it's your choice: leave them or shave the soap.
· Do not flip your long hairbehind you in a crowded restaurant. Chances are it will land in someone's plate.
· If you are balding, do not do the comb-over thing. It never looks good, and you're not fooling anyone.
· Be aware of where your hair is at all times, especially in a restaurant. In other words, be careful not to drag your hair through the guacamole.
· If you work in close quarters with others, be aware of others' sensitivities or allergies to hairspray, perfumed mousse, etc.
· Do not play with or touch other people's hair unless you ask permission first.
· Do not offer comments to strangers about their hair unless they ask for your opinion.
· Do not create a new hairdo in a public place. Once in church I sat behind a teenage girl who, in the course of the service, made these hairdos one after the other:
1. ponytail
2. two French braids
3. one long braid
4. topknot
5. two-level ponytail
· (It wasn't so much all the hairdos that made her look ditzy; it was the indecision!)
· Do not chew the ends of your hair in public. Get your protein another way.
· Do not go for long periods of time without washing your hair. No matter how much else you may have going for you, dirty hair is still dirty hair.
· If you wear a wig or hair extensions, be sure and check from time to time for passing debris that may have landed on your false hair. One summer I worked at a pancake house in Maine, and we had a tall, elegant older woman as hostess for the restaurant. She wore a beautiful blonde wig, and consequently never knew that at any time of the day she might have a paper coffee filter on her head that one of the waitresses put there. Sad, but true!
· Do not appear in public wearing a headful of hair rollers. Whenever I see a woman do this, I have to wonder where she is going later that evening that she can afford to look that bad during the day.
· No matter what the temptation, do not put underwearon your head. It's a look that seldom works for anyone.
Generally speaking, do not subject others to that which would bother you.

Yea... they even have the Hair:stop: Police here in Asia!... Someone told me they thought all african american people looked like Oprah (in her really big days...)...

I chalk this all up to ignorance.... because we have not been shown in a good light in other countries.... many have only seen us from a "bad" prospective. So I can only shine a light in the darkness and be a :littleang

Candy I didn't know you lived in Asia. Which country? Do you speak the native language? When I lived in the Dominican Republic in the 80's (where I'm from) people there used to think that all Americans were white, blue eyes, blonde hair. I would say not even close. Its because of the American shows they'd watch.

Its so awesome that they even know who Oprah is!

BostonMaria, I am in South Korea. Yes. I speak some of the native language. I didn't really say all those things, but I thought them to myself. They get a lot of the American Shows. But only White based programs mainly.... They use to get the old Oprah shows. I haven't seen any of Oprah since I've been here. It was said that in the past the only roles they ever seen "blacks" in were as slaves....:wallbash: or criminals...and there are a lot of people that live in small towns and villages that don't watch that must American TV. So it is understandable why they would think this way. The problem is the way America portrays us to the other countries.....:perplexed
 
Just wanted to say have a great weekend and HHG!

I'm going to an indoor swimming pool tomorrow with my daughter so no more straight hair for me LOL It was fun while it lasted. I'll bring my conditioner with me and make sure to rinse out all that chlorine once I get home.
