I had to come back to see why this thread was so long.

What kind of thread is this. Now I gotta go back cuz I'm lost. Yall are just throwing random stuff out there and I'm just confused.
 
look at my siggy. Paradox avenue. I do vocals and keyboards, but we just finished our first song with them in it. it'll be up on myspace soon


Yes we would. Manushka would you handle that?

Brendan is Marquett going to be your best man?


Vocals and keyboards huh? We can make that work. I have a cousin who is well versed with a trumbone.

I'll give her a call.

First, welcome to the forum. You are more than welcome here. We have other male members besides yourself. :yep:

As far as scab hair goes, there's some disagreement about what it is. But most think of it as something that happens to some people who relax their hair for years and then go natural. For some, the first few inches of hair still seem to be affected by the chemicals somehow and are often rougher than the person's real texture.

As far as making your hair curlier, I personally find that using Garnier Fructis curl & shine shampoo makes my hair much curlier (with tight curls) than normal. Also, using a Denman brush (see below), from Sally's beauty supply, while my hair is wet makes my hair more tightly curled. It might help you too to get the look you want.

I agree. That Denman does make my curls much curlier.

I can't believe contributing to this confusing thread.:spinning:
 
:ohwell: i dont know we're just talking right now. but I hope it works :) OK enough about that. I refuse to say anything stupid to make her pissed at me. :love3:

How sweet! I'm glad you guys are enjoying getting to know each other. Why we always gotta clown other folks' joy? SMDH. Git it OP! Git it girl!(forgot her screenname):kiss2:
 
I agree with sl that newbie previously using certain terms is being wayyyyyyyy overlooked by some. Women have been roasted on here for saying they or their daughters had "mixed" hair or "nappy" hair. Roasted.

Op says it and ...nada. :look:

Y'all ain't right.
You know beautiful people can get away with anything. Rhianna wears pasties out to the club and folks talk about how cute and sexy it is. When strippers do it, it's nasty and stank.

That's just the way life is.
OMG YES!!!! I was just at that Thread in the ET...:rolleyes:
No offense to the OP:look:
 
Biotin detoxes you:yep:
The pimples are skin impurities coming to the surface. Many say once those pimples fade their skin is clearer then before.

They a d@mn lie! I took that stuff for 7 years before I figured out it was causing my acne. It got progressively worse, not clearer. Its banned from my body forever now. I haven't had cystic acne since I stopped (6 months).

bhj867 if its breaking you out now it probably always will. MSM will also stimulate growth but it may soften your texture, not make it kinkier.

Right? I created a thread about going natural and half of the people who are pro-natural are in this thread and not mine. :nono::sad:

I want everyone to have joy! That is why I am trying to help. :yep:

I'm happy for the two of them!

LOL. Sorry girl! This seems to be a special case here. I would've helped but alas....I am relaxed!

Where's your thread? I haven't seen it.

Though, I don't know anything about transitioning so I can't really help you.
 
Hi BHJ!

Just a lil' music history for ya - and I quote

You could just about find a freak anywhere
But then again, you could know someone all their life
But might not know they're a freak unless "they are on this site"
(ad lib)....(Whodini, 1985)

Now with that being said back to your hair - considering I did not see any bad hair pix (we do "before and after" on this site) your hair looks pretty good! I know "you know" your hair but you hair looks quite nice. I have a nephew with your texture of hair and he would wash, condish, and use a little bit of mousse and he is good to go.
I would recommend that you definitely K.I.S.B. (Keep it Simple, Brendan)..I know I haven't added much but I really think you should not "over-think" your hair....
 
They are both cool with it. Since Ive grown my hair out this last time my dad was a little hesitant and then said stuttering, "Wow . . . you're hair has never been that curly." and that's all he said.

My mom said, "OH MY GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! I ENVY YOU! WHERE DID ALL THOSE CURLS COME FROM?" like they don't remember. :ohwell:

but from what I can tell by pictures my parents hair straightening venture starting around age 5. :sad: Which is ironically the same year my little brother was born, 1992. And he is white (blonde hair and blue eyes). My half brother. My parents kept the name of his real father from him until last year when they finally broke down and told him. This is the earliest picture of me at 5 years old with straightened hair I could find. everything before this is naps.

I don't see why. African hair/heritage is beautiful. I feel a bond with my black friends and family this past year more than anytime in my life. Mainly because I have been around them more. I was a VERY sheltered child to say the least.

I was never told to "hate" my black side. I never ran away from it, I just was never exposed to it. and that was my parents choice, not mine.[/quote]

Gotcha. Is this why you're trying to change your hair? Being black is not a "look" it's just who you are. And fyi most black people are mixed in America unless they are immigrants, or from Africa (and even Africans are mixed). I have relatives who are darker than your dad with almost straight hair, and I have relatives who are waaay lighter than you with red frizzy nappy kinky 4z hair. Or like my mom who was called "little white girl" in school with her soft red curls and really light skin. Or my brother with his hazel eyes and light skin compared to my brown skin and dark eyes (same mom and dad). We all come in different colors, and personalities. Yes my family is "mixed" as you say, but so are most black people. I get perplexed when others want to get in touch with their "black" side and immediately think that their hair needs to change, and they need to listen to rap music.:lachen:If you like a certain music, great, but don't be "pressured" into thinking you have to fit in a box. Same with your hair, or your clothes, or the way you talk.
I have relatives going through the whole who am I thing? And I'm like you are YOU. There's nothing wrong with your hair, or your skin, or anything else about you. Just be yourself and don't let anyone else define you or feel pressure to be like anyone else. People really need to love themselves. Just make sure if you really want curly hair it's because you like it, not because it'll identify you more with your "black side" because it won't. Because that's just a stereotype that everyone including us sometimes starts to believe. Our hair varies as much as our shades of skin tone, and that's just one of the many wonderful things about us.

Very true, I admit it is something I've been struggling with. But naw. I don't want to change my music taste or anything like that (I love rap and rock). I don't even talk different around my black friends. The hair thing though. I just want it back to natural. :grin:
