Ladies - Secure Your Style - Hair Embarassment

Guest · Sep 23, 2003

Well, I have to share this... I bought a fake bun it only has one comb attachement. I had a plastic bag then a "pink" scrunchie under it totally not matching my outfit (but who was gonna see it) Welllll, in church the Pastor just calls me up, out of the Blue, and said Sis. Mindy the Lord laid it on my heart to pray for you well he's a hand layer, so I'm praying Lord, don't let this man knock my bun off, so he's praying got his hand on my head fingers touchin the top of my bun and he says "Sis. Lift Your Hands" I'm cryin, not from the prayer but scared the bun was gonna fly in front of about 500 people. Whew he stopped suddenly and said "It is done, go back to your seat rejoicing". I was rejoicing all right, THANK YOU JESUS !!
But it was all about the bun. (sad to say).. The reason I was so worried is that Bun had fell out in the Grocery store once, this guy said Miss you Dropped something. As if I did'nt notice.

And Once at home.

So needless to say I was scurred...

Anybody else had a hair embarssament?? Share if you ain't shame.

You know I wanted to. When he first said my name, I'm like I do not want to go up there.. Needless to say, I do not where that thing anymore.. I think it's too big.

Oh yes, I got one.

You know I do my own micro extensions. Well, I used to have the habit of undoing the braids hidden under partially so that when I got home, redoing them would be a breeze. Well, would ya know...

I'm sitting in class listening to a lecturer and at the same time obliviously undoing those hidden braids part-way. I'd occasionally stop to jot down important points the instructor was reeling off. Well, you all know how long hair, if not tied back, can keep swinging forward into your face. So every now and then, I'd fling my micros over my shoulder so I could see what I was writing. About halfway through class I hear a gasp of horror behind me. Turns out that one extension had flown off during one of my tosses and landed on the notebook of the white guy behind me.

Poor fella never suspected I had extensions in my hair so the last thing he expected is to be the recipient of a shedding clump of human hair.

Oh Mindy,

Yes it was sad, but I totally understand and so does the Lord.

We had a sister in church one day performing a dance number...pony tail came flying off...I was so embarrassed for her.

I don't think I've seen her in one since...

Whew! A happy ending on the church deal. Someones elses experience can be a good teacher.

Thanks for the warning.

I teach aerobics and have quite a few of those phony ponies. Well this day it was step and it wasn't secure enough and I already knew this because I had alot of new growth underneath. Well, after I finished my combo I told everyone to go into doing jumping jacks. I think I did about five with the class and I felt it fall down my back and saw it hit the floor in the mirror in front of me. I stopped looked behind me and one of my students literally fell out laughing LOUDLY and outstretched on the floor. She was so loud that folks working out just turned to look at what she was laughin at. I heard one of my male friends say, "ut oh the squirrel is loose. Shoot it" White folks didn't know what to think and just stared down at it

. So what did I do? I just picked it up, flung it on the floor in front of me and told everybody to KEEP MOVING!!!!! I was soooo

The whole gym never let me live it down to this day!

FineChyna · Sep 23, 2003

yeah my hair embrassment came when someone who thought my phony pony was real and went to pull my hair in and ended up yanking the damn thing out. i nearly DIED. this happened at the mall in front of numerous people too. then to make matter worse my mom found out and rubbed it in my face

then another time when i 2st started wearing the pony i was the only one in my family wearing extensions. everyone else had superlong hair and myself at 13 had choppy shoulder lenth hair. well anyway when i was over my aunts house and someone said "oh i like your hair" next thing i hear is "thats the weave your brought? why you gotta weave in your head? whats wrong w/ you hair?" my dad was yelling this so everyone can hear. then everyone stops and stares at my head. apparently he disapproves of weaves, but why couldn't he tell me in private?

garr6982 · Sep 23, 2003

I too can relate

!

I was in a fashion show once and this designer had to make me his "diva"!

So....here I was in a long fitted Morticia Adams dress with a huge rhinestone spider web design on the front, gloves with silver fingernails attached, and this ponytail about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide!

Well, I want you to know that I went sashing out, did my strut, completed my turns, just as I was exiting off, I felt a pull, and off came that bush right into my hands!

The only saving grace was that no one saw me except the people in the dressing area!

I had mine fall off during.....well you know. A brotha would've just kept on going. Poor guy.

FineChyna · Sep 23, 2003

i had to bump this up-great thread

has anyone ever lost a wig or track out in public. some internet buddy of mine was mentioning how at her job this lady's wig fell off and onto the floor and she didn't know it. she was rolling over the thing w/ her chair until someone told her. then she kept rolling over again while trying to get it off the floor. i was cracking up when i heard that although i do feel bad for the woman

Naturalistic · Sep 24, 2003

This thread is too funny. I knew there was a reason I was too scared to try the phony-pony thing! However, I have worn braid extensions before...now, the woman I usually went to screwed me over so I had to go to someone else, who wasn't that good. But I'm desperate to get my hair braided so I endure. My hair was kind of short but my normal braider could've hooked me up, no problem; but the new braider was having all kinds of problems catching my hair. Needless to say, a few days later, one of the little short braids came out (at home, thank goodness!!) but when I saw it, it looked kind of wormy & I have a thing about worms so I was scared! (I know, I know, a black braided worm...when was the last time you saw one of those?) Anyway, my dh found a few lying around the house, too, and would always come to me holding the worm & asking "does this belong to you?"

Guest · Sep 24, 2003

FineChyna.. Oooooh, My Goodness. Rollin over it with her chair..

Oh, dear....

I tell ya, you can't even leave town.

I went to sesame place this summer and a young lady had a phony pony in her hair. Needless to say, after going down a twisty turvy water slide in a tube, she lost it. And yes, i am sorry, i did laugh - i know, i'm going to hell - but her friend was too and also told her where she could pick it up. She had to swim to get it...

KinksnCurlz · Sep 24, 2003

Here's mine...
While a teenager, i was walking down Harlem during the African Day Parade and there were people EVERYWHERE. I was wearing my china doll wig (i use to wear it to school too

) and the sun was really bearing down on me. After about an hour, i couldn't take it anymore so i went into a store and pulled the darn thing off. My friends thought it was so funny because I went in with my "hair" out and came out with my hair in a bun...

A few people did a doubletake and i heard a little *snicker*snicker* but i didn't care b/c no longer was the sweat dripping down my head

Cleopatra_Jones · Sep 24, 2003

Don't feel bad.....My Mom told me yesterday that a sister a church was "slain in the sprit" and as she was going down her wig fell off. Well, one of the missionaries picked up the wig and started fanning her with it!!!!!
