'Love Jones'.........an observation

[deltagyrl]

So I pulled it out for the holiday since the weather's bad.

I distinctly remember oohing and aahing over Nia Long's hair back then. I'm looking at it now like, erplexed , 'cause it's actually pretty short. Now Lisa Nicole Carson's natural hair is FIYAH..... My how a little lhcf exposure can change your perspective.

Just wanted to share. Going back to lurk mode.

I have never been a fan of short hair on me but have loved it on other woman and now I am like you...I love the whole big hair thing. I love Tracee Ellis Ross' hair, I love Diana Ross' hair, I love Lisa Nicole Carson's hair. I doubt my natural hair will ever be that big without some munipulation but my has my perspective changed. I am no longer ohing and aweing over the Beyonce's of the world but the natural divah's of the world, that have hair just as long

I was just looking at Love Jones last night, and you're right, Lisa Nicole's hair was gorgeous.

 

[HoneyDew]

Her hair may not have been long on that movie, but her hair was very shiny and healthy.

I always wondered if it was hers though. During that rain scene where she just stood there without a problem I was like

I mean she was acting, but still in real life, I WOULD NOT have been doing that! But, I am texlaxed so me and standing in the rain without looking like is not my thing.

I have never been impressed with Beyonce's "hair". I am NEVER impressed with fake hair. I am impressed with REAL hair - short, long, natural or relaxed - when it is healthy and you can tell that the woman loves working it! I see too many women that are slave to weaves and other fake hair. I now find myself noticing all women that work there own hair with love and ease.

Very pretty wedding pic. I LOVE the black & white.

I'm definitely more appreciative of naturals now that I've joined the boards. I'm relaxed but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the natural waves!

I'm like how did I miss that head of hair before?

Her hair was very healthy and, yes, she did wear tracks in the movie.

It's just that b/c of my hair's condition at the time I was really impressed with her hair and thought I would have to wear a weave to achieve that look. I'm looking at it now like .

If only I knew then what I know now....

ESPECIALLY when it's a ratty weave or you can tell that their real hair is damaged. I know they see me looking at them like I smell fish.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I thought Nia's hair was beautiful and I still do. Long or not her hair is amazing. Of course Lisa's hair is beautiful as well. Just for different reasons

I know girl. I was in Home Depot the other day and I should have been shopping for my new appliances, but I could not take my eyes off of the girl that was trying to help me. She had a wet and wavy weave on, but the ery top where her hair was out looked like a hot striny mess. It was a different color, sticking up and very short and dry. I was like I would NOT have been at work like that.

It's funny and sad because in the past I 've been guilty of taking better care of my weave than my real hair....

I still think Nia Long's hair is banging...even when it was as short as it was on Fresh Prince.

I can't hate too much on Nia because so many people say that I look like her (or, she looks like moi ). But I do remember loving her hair and then backing up, thinking that not only was it not that long, but it was also thin-looking to me. It was cute back then, but I think I always preferred her with a close-cropped cut, feathered or layered cut, or the short doo that she rocked in The Best Man and Boiler Room. I was natural back then and was completely in love with Lisa Nicole's hair...and jealous, too! It's a shame that we don't see much of LNC anymore. I wonder what she's up to...

Both Nia and Lisa are beautiful women!

 

[Crysdon]

I used to want Janet Jackson's length from the Doesn't Really Matter video and now when I look at it, it looks so short.

 

[EMJazzy]

Ok now your gonna make me pull out my Love Jones dvd to see what you are talking about

 

[HollyGolightly1982]

I have seen that movie way too many times. I liked LNC's hair. I just thought it looked a hint dry sometimes.

OT: Okay, so I thought I was the ONLY one that did this!! The girl that helped me at Sally's got a big ole dose of the WTH while she was helping me, I just couldn't help myself!! Her head was 1 1/2 straight hair and 1 1/2 curly shiny something. I kept thinking, naw, honey, naw, you work in a BSS, you should be representing!
