Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

The most beautiful women I have EVER seen have no attachments. No weave, no eyelash weave, no fake eyebrows...nothing. Just themselves! It's breath taking and a breath of fresh air. Women that are women and not knockoff women or imitation of women.

When I get with my man their will be nothing that falls off, pops off, peels off, lifts off, drops off, whipes off or anything that detaches itself from me for vanity's sake.

Eta: The black women YouTubers just be EXTRA with the fakery! Eh!..its fricken embarrassing. No wonder everybody believes that we ALL wear fake hair. It's our own falt now. At least wear a hair texture that matches yours! You're not Asian or Mexican or Brazilion or Indian or white!!..so stop the Tom foolery.

I'm not talking about normalcy and moderation. I'm talking about the over the top and extraordinary (drag queen mess).

Yeah. I hope you meant that you feel it's embarrassing for that individual, and not communally embarrassing for black women.

The fake, centaur-like bodies and extreme makeup really threw me when I first started seeing it all, but I try not to live in such a way that I experience embarrassment from what OTHERS do. It's hard, but I realize that that's giving over a LOT of control.

It goes back to that thought which white people seem to have successfully gotten some folks to agree with and accept: When a white person commits a crime, he or she has committed a crime. When a black person commits a crime, blacks are criminals.

So when Sheri hacks up her body, gets too much booty, wears too much fake hair, and wears a ridiculous amount of makeup . . . :smile:

And to be factual, I'm having to learn how to keep my mind on my endeavors and business more and more, and less on constantly reacting to weird social behavior, politics, etc. It's a challenge for me in these times, but I'm happier keeping my mind and attention fixed on "whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report . . ."

I'm not saying that you shouldn't discuss and think about how you don't like this stuff, though. I just noticed with the "Leave our culture alone" video, sometimes a lot is getting to us and it could help not to spend much energy on it. Maybe.

I don't know! This might help, since we do not "get to" dictate how people dress or carry themselves. :smile:

Great post! Yeah I just don't like all the fakeness. Some women look like a whole other race when they are done beating their face! Crazy. Not to mention the little girls that may be looking up to them. This is a random thought thread so when I see it on YouTube I post my random thought here. It's not effecting me so deeply (like conspiracy news does) and I genuinely appreciate your concern about that.

But yeah I just don't understand why. Makeup is nice to enhance your NATURAL look not create a whole other person. Thanks for responding Yvette.

Makes perfect sense! I'm glad you're not deeply bothered. :smile: You're right: Little girls are watching.

When I was going hard with taking my vitamins while using Wild Growth Hair Oil I grew 8-9 inches on my first year natural. Since I just ordered more vitamins I am extra excited. By the end of Summer I will be Hip Length! Im excited as if I already am.

Too bad I can't use the WGHO because I am an every 4 week washer now. You have to wash often while using that smelly oil!

If only there was a way to hide the smell:burn:.
I could start back washing more often which I'll have to do anyway in the Summer duh. :brainy:

I will incorporate my WGHO again because I love it so.

After tomorrow's length check (In the 2" in 4 months thread) I am done looking at my hair until July 30th for another year comparison.

Hair obsession...

Vent warning: I'm irritated. I just want my braids back. I had an appointment with a new braider because my usual braider is amazing but going through a divorce and kinda wacko right now. I'm not too excited about this new braider because she takes a loooooooong time, much longer than my usual braider. But anyways I prepared to suck it up and get with it. I was supposed to get a text the night before the appointment to confirm. I don't get one so I text her. She's out of town! WTF?! She asks to reschedule for the next day, meaning today. Fine. She was supposed to start at 9am, then 12pm, now she can't do it at all today and says her next available day is Sunday. :mad::mad: But wait, she suddenly can do Tuesday. I'm trying not to get too irritated because she has small children but this is crazy. I've already texted my usual braider to see if there is any way she can braid my hair at the end of this week. I'd rather go this week with blowdried hair than keep changing my schedule around.

Ugh. Vent over.

Can't you lace the oil with something nice like bergamot/ orange, or lavender etc? Not sure if that would be enough though, I've never used WGO.

Thanks for the tip! I could, But I wouldn't want to dilute it because it works well. I think I can cover the smell by spraying on top my head with good smelling conditioner once my style is done.
 
After trying NG and APB, I still think Jakeala has the best scents. Plus she sends free samples with every order. APB’s standard vanilla scent is not making me excited to try her DC.

Also, I’ve been trying to figure out over the past couple weeks why my hair has been feeling rough lately. Then I realized it started when my CRN Coconut Treatment ran out. Can’t buy more because I have sooooo many DCs on hand already & I need to use them up. Hopefully something in my stash works as well.

Is rice water really all that? Thoss Yao women been growing their hair for years though.

This is the best explanation of how it works that I’ve seen. Basically, it adds protein and smooths the hair. That’s all. I’m sure it works just as well as any other treatment. I haven’t tried it myself because by all accounts, it stinks, and I’m also not a fan of so-called miracle products. Anyway, at least it’s cheap to try. Just a couple bucks for a bag of rice.

Girl me too. I was watching her videos when I decided to do my own weave.

Sad thing is I’m too cheap to pay for it as well. LOL

I knew it had to stink LOL! Thank you. That takes my curiosity away (not that I had much anyway).
