Can bantu knots be a PS?

I wore my bantu knots outside and got calld out by a caribbean cab driver. I had no idea what was going on. When i walkd past him going into a store, i hear him say 'tiny bump dem' really loud, as if he was sayg it to someone far away. Honestly i thought he was tryg to say my butt was little LOL
When i came out of the store he said it again, just as loud as the first time. Im like WTF, turng around to look at my own ***...is somthg on my pants? Why is he dissg my butt?

This stayd on my mind enuf that i had to ask my jamaican buddy what he was talkg abt and she told me he said 'chiney bump dem' which is what bantus r calld there. She said he prob thought it was funny that i came out like that bcuz women usually reserve that look for indoors. It was hilarious!
Who knew? I thought it was ok that i didnt feel like openg them right away aftr my hair dried

I have seen some women rock them and looks fine. I guess it just depends on your head size and face

I have about 7 bobby pins on one side of my head and 3 on the other trying to hold the front of my "bunny tail" in. The struggle is real.
 
I shed so freaking much. For the past few days I've been cleaning out a very neglected, very dusty storage closet. Today I noticed my hair blowing with the dust bunnies on the floor like tumbleweeds. DNA just everywhere.
 
Been trying to ring in the new year with protective styling. Took my twists down for wash day and my hair decided today would be a good hair day. Why are my best hair days ALWAYS wash day? And when I have a big event or just want to look cute, it acts up.

It's like when men get their hair cut a few days to a week before a big event to get a hair cut instead of the day of, just in case lol.

I love chiney bumps/bantu knots. Nothing stretches my hair better, after washing my 4a/b natural hair or keeping my roots straight after a flat iron.
 
Instagram is everything to me right now! I thank GOD I jumped on there and started looking around. I found a braidout style that I can work with, doesn't leave my hair looking crazy, and is quick for me to do. I just have to figure out how to keep my hair out of my face now that I will be wearing it down more often.

My hair is so soft that I keep touching it. Knowledge is power and comforting. I remember when my mom bought the No More Tears stuff for me as a kid. I was SURE it was the answer to my prayers - the HG - the solution to my knots and tangles. I was so disappointed. Sprayed that watery stuff on and my hair was still hard to detangle. Now, with the knowledge that i have about my hair, I feel so good.

It's cultural. A lot of Jamaican women know about chiney bumps but they don't wear it as a style. Much like doobies/wraps here where some folks would not wear that as a style. Given that you are not in Jamaica, I think you'd be fine here. :look:
 
Can't wait until summer. I had to cut some bad ends and I miss my length.

For the first time I'm considering a wig. I'm just conserned about working out in it.
 
I'm proud of myself. I washed, dc'ed and cleaned my marley hair for my twists. I started at 3 and now its 4am but still lol

I don't feel like doing my hair. I don't feel like getting out of bed. Wish I could just work from home and sit here with my bonnet on all day. Would be so nice if I could wear a bonnet and beanie to work. But I can't so I must bun it or something :sad:
 
I love my hair. She gets on my nerves sometimes, but all love ones do from time-to-time.

I love my friend (talking about a person now). However, it makes me sad that she has such a poor opinion of natural hair that isn't loose in texture. She's also 100% dependent on hair dressers and is convinced that all of her hair problems are due to one hair dresser that she had, who incidently, actually doesn't sound too bad (she started having lots of breakage and shedding without any change in her hair care practices, so she wouldn't relax my friends hair until they pinpointed the issue and she saw a dermatologist). Anyhow, she's now in a weave and wants to wear it for a year to grow a new head of hair so that she can relax it again. However, she's not caring for her hair AT ALL between visits to the [new] hairstylist. :nono: I keep telling her that she needs to keep her hair clean and moisturized or she's asking for trouble. Sigh. Some people have to learn the hard way I guess.

This is why online shopping grieves me. I ordered a scarf from Pretty Anntoinet on the 1st. Last tracking information is from the 4th. It got lost in New Jersey (or it found a new home). The 2nd package was "undeliverable". I still have to get my CurlKit(ships on the 10th) and my APB (ships on the 15th). Gigantic *sigh*

Sorry to hear yoyr shipping woes. Everything falls off the back of a truck in jersey
 
It annoys me that my right side grows slower than my left side. It's not breakage. It has literally always grown that way. Really annoying.
 
Thanks Blairx0 It got stuck at Kearny, NJ and after doing some Googling I found that I need to call the Office of Consumer Affairs for my Zip Code. I should hopefully know something in 48-72 hours (it's the holiday season, usually they get back in 24 hours).
 
Sitting under my new hooded dryer that my mama got me for Christmas! She gets me :lol:. She said she wants me to keep my hair healthy. Currently deep conditioning my hair. I haven't done this in yearsss (dcing with a hooded dryer).
 
whiteoleander91 will you be drying your wash n goes with your new dryer? Ive been wanting to dry a hooded dryer for this purpose. Also how does the ampro argan gel wash out. Doesmit wash out easily?
 
My husband is converting part of my office into a beauty station. I didn't ask him to do it. He's just seen me accumulate lots of beauty tools and hates seeing me going up and down the stairs doing my hair. My office is the size of a medium-sized bedroom so using 1/3-to-1/2 as a haircare area is perfect.

I love me some him. :luv2:

The back grows fastest for me. When I went natural I cut the back and it's still ended up way longer than the sides

Napp I was actually thinking about drying my wash and go today, but decided against it. In the past when I tried drying a wash and go with a hand held dryer, my hair came out bad, so I'm a little nervous to try it with my hooded dryer. I know I will give it a try eventually, though. I forgot to update the challenge thread, yes the gel rinses out very easily! I didn't have any trouble with it at all :3
 
My neighbor came over to pick up something from my husband and when he saw me he was like...your hair is pretty cool looking...kinda like Rick James. Ummmmm wait what? Is that supposed to be a compliment? Cause first of all, Rick James is a man and clearly I'm a woman. 2nd of all, huh? I gave him a pass cause he's an older man & he's Filipino...so I just smiled and said thank you. Weirdo
