i was kickin it with my girl yesterday whom is black. and she recently shaved her head just for kicks.. well she just got like a weave and now shes back to havin long ass hair and i am so jealous! if i had hair like that i would get dreads. because then a few years down the road when i wanted to chop off my dreads i wouldnt have to be bald, i could just get a weave!! haha seriously, that is the only thing stopping me from getting dreads.. knowing that eventually i would have to chop off all my hair. i am skinny and gaunt looking as it is if i had short hair i would look like a frickin cancer patient!! i want black people hair!!
when i was little i totally envied all the little girls' braids and decorations. it was so damned decorative. i couldn't even keep a barrette in my hair because it would just slide out. hmph.
hahah me too! thats what i get for bein white in a sea of black. and its funny cuz most of those girls wish they had thin hair. but i hate it.
the grass is always greener and all that. i had to sit with my friend for 2 eight hour shifts of getting her hair braided when we were 8. i had not idea it was that rough. but i was totally fascinated. it looked SO COOL.
haha me too, the first time i saw someone get their weave thing i was like dang thats pretty crazy. a long grueling process.
When I was younger I used to want to have black hair because I had so much trouble with it. I actually thought they had it easier! Mostly because of the braids and stuff. I wanted my hair all in braids.
when i was little the girls were still wearing those big marble ponytail holders in all different colors. i was so envious.
I had the marble ponytail holders! But I had pretty short hair, so my mom would always tie some ridiculous ponytail sticking out the top of my head and fasten it with those
Horse hair, generally. Used to extend the length of people with short hair. Much more prominant among black people than most other races.
i have hair like a baby's, and it's COMPLETELY straight. my auntie sue tried to do some cornrows for me when i was 6 or 7, but she couldn't get them to stay in place and gave up after 10 minutes. i still can't do a fucking think with my hair except dye it into oblivion to take out my frustrated rage. oh, and i can wear a headband, but my hair falls forward over it.
