Not to be rude, but her hairline is wayyyy too far back. That and that part is also too wide. They definitely did her dirty with that hair style
It's giving the Cynthia doll look.

I didn't like the parting either. It looks like she left one canerow in. I just wanted him be clear what he was talking about lol.Not to be rude, but her hairline is wayyyy too far back. That and that part is also too wide. They definitely did her dirty with that hair style

I honesty think it is the style. Some people in the comments thought her hair was a twist out or that the clip is from her just waking up because of the robe. Most comments said Frederick Douglas or Cynthia from Rugrats.
They did that to me too on first ever visit. The stylist found the thinnest part of my hairline (I’ve been bald on both temple areas since I was a baby) and made a part. Check out CIK stylists who went for the big baby crown chop and they look very similar.Not to be rude, but her hairline is wayyyy too far back. That and that part is also too wide.

Here are some pics/screenshots of my first CIK hair cut and styling.
Y’all see how wide that part is?
Prior to getting the cut I wore my hair like this most of the time.
I bet Lil Mama’s hair looks great from the profile and the back. The CIK cut rarely does anyone favors to the front especially with short hair. I’m surprised Lil Mama’s came out that way because she has length in the front.
Here are a few stylist who did the cut last year. There are other, but I can’t remember their names or their cuts weren’t as drastic.
Edit to add the second cut/trim pic

BGC always says your face shape doesn’t matter when you get a haircut. I think it’s because like you said, they only care about the profile and how it looks from the back.
your hair has grown a TON!!
I realized today that the only smoothing I do is when I add products. I barely smooth unless I feel tangles. I mainly rake.
I also decided to be like @ckisland and @Bette Davis Eyes today and do a middle part.
I used UFD, ICH and a sample of ICV.
My last wash and go, I used Trepadora Açaí Berry as the tertiary topper. It took a million years to come in the mail and I forgot about it. Well, I recently spotted it. It’s not rain proof like Bamboo Ginseng. This was day 8 after being rained on 3 times.

I totally concur. They only care about every thing but the money shot.
I think my hair might be either tight wavy instead of tight curly or just easily weighed down to show more of my length. It looks like the average rate of growth to me.
However, I have graduated from random boy hair to having Camilo’s hair from Encanto by my niece. That definitely means I gained some type of length. LOL

Your hair is so beautiful. Inspiration for me to stay natural
I really appreciate that. Yours look beautiful too.
I still suffer from hair dysmorphia and occasionally consider chemicals to make my hair more shiny, silkier or bigger. Laziness is the only reason I’m still natural. Lol

I have an event this Saturday which is the only reason I got this protective style.
Next week it’s wash and go for me. I think I’m going to dedicate time to it unless it pisses me off and I sisterlock.

@DVAntDany I love how you styled your hair yourself!!! And it has grown so much! Yeah the deep parts just aren't it.
Thank you.
I remember my CIK stylist telling me that middle parts were for old aunties. I beg your pardon!

I’ve been wearing my side part since high school, which was a million years ago. Maybe I should try a middle part and see if I like it.
Don't forget to take pics. I can't wait to see what that looks like on you.
My mom calls middle part hairstyles "Jesus hair".

I used to live in a side part in my relaxed days. A middle part used to make me feel bookish lol. When I started wearing my hair natural as an adult and got some length, I just gravitated to a middle part. Maybe its the added volume and hair in my face annoys me, but now I think a side part looks odd on me. I've tried to wear it side and off my face, and I immediately switch back.

I love the shape of this. It almost looks like she has curtain bangs.

I have “bangs”, but they are super long. Since I have so much shrinkage they don’t cover my eyes and I can still pull them back when I want.

In hair purgatory
I am coming back to wash and goes. Im a little sick of the fake hair right now. I did a wash and go today for my co op board interview I used mielle pomegranate and honey leave in and max hold gel topped with some doux bee girl custard. My hair frizzy at the roots. the Mielle gel did not control my natural roots. I'm slowly transitioning back to natural hair. My hair looks like it didnt grow but when i compare it to last year i can see the growth.
this is my natural texture last year
My hair now covers my ears. Im making progress very slowly. I am going to use mousse next time for a quicker dry time.

I really like the way my hair looks and feels with this combo. The doux bee girl custard really works perfectly as a topper. I slept crazy last night and my curls still look perfect (just a little more shrunken. I think wash and goes will be my main style again. I really like how my hair looks now that I have some length. MY hair is only APL-ish and it frames my face so much better than it did before. I'm hoping I can retain some length
Someone from work gave me the ebook wash your damn hair and I have been reading it little by little. Maybe I will understand the new wash and go jargon that has come up since these new natural hair stylists have become popular.

I may need to get a cheaper conditioner to play around with a golf ball size of conditioner. Not sure if my hair even after 5 minutes lays that flat
I’m glad that you are finding something that works.
Which iteration of the book do you have? I heard one of the “instructors” on SSC say in a live that the old old book use to talk about which ingredients to look for in products. For example, it use to include what “plastic” ingredients one should look for in toppers. She then went on to say that the A’s removed it because it was too technical and confusing for consumers.
Right now, a new person would be highly confused on what makes a base gel a base gel. It would even be confusing for a newbie to figure out what ingredients to look for to even figure out where a shampoo falls on the spectrum. There are creamy clarifiers outs there. So opaque pearlescence vs transparency doesn’t always help. They just say use what is on the list or ask your stylist. Then after putting in the hours with reading and listening, a person finally catches on.
Without you all, it would have taken much longer to figure out what a topper was. They are now saying it’s not just for humidity resistance. They have starting saying that you also choose your topper based on your desired finish. Just be aware that they are constantly evolving.

@DVAntDany ive been using two gels for over 10 years.
it’s always dependent on what I want my hair to do and what the product does. My base gel is usually acting as a leave in and my top gel is my weight.

There is one big thing I noticed about more expensive conditioners. They wash out easily and actually go down the drain. I find the cheap ones make cleaning the shower more difficult and really clog up my hair trap/catcher when mixed with shed hairs. Supposedly, the more expensive salon quality conditioners are more concentrated and you won’t need as much once you add some water to your hair.I may need to get a cheaper conditioner to play around with a golf ball size of conditioner.
