U know whats funny, I dont know how many of u have been to Harlem in the 125th area but the africans over there are usually persistent about asking people if they want their hair braided, but 2 times this week I had to go over there to hit the gym and they damn near chased me down asking me if I wanted my hair braided! Like seriously after I said no to one her friend would ask and keep asking and damn near following me yelling 'Hellooooo Hair braiding Miss?!' As if I didnt see her *ss the first time I said NO!
Maybe I missed something but because she handed you a card that says she does braids that was a reason to "catch a case"? erplexed
Some of yall need to go read that "hair cockiness" thread.
We join LHCF and get all cocky and think that we can talk to folks any 'ol way and catch a case if they come at us the wrong way concerning our hair.
It's not that serious IMO.
I made a similar post about this a little while ago. I can’t remember how I had my hair on that particular day, but someone approached me with a business card for hair services. I personally hate when people do that, especially when it seems like they pick and choose who they want to give their cards to. There’s 5 or 6 black women in one area and you single ME out to give a business card to? erplexed IMO it makes the person and their business look bad!
(None this isn't directed at anyone. I'm just thinking outside the "I'mma cut this heifer" box. )
I've had people give me their cards and I didn't feel the necessity to catch a case. I just said thanks and kept it moving. I'm not going to look down on her or her orange hair because Lord knows folks think I'm off for wearing my old clothes, spending money on bills, and buying groceries instead of blowing $300.00 shoes and handbags.
If she had been rude then maybe... but sometimes people come up to you because you look like a nice person or because you're approachable, not because they think you look a H.A.M. or need help.
