Squaredsc | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 07:38 pm     lol, i feel ya. |
Fluff | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 11:39 am     Square, I tried the B&B Honey and Mayonnaise! I really like it!  |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 03:56 pm     Yay, Fluff!!! Good to see you in here again. I got a good haircut in Cyprus. Haven't been able to get a good haircut in this town in three years of trying, but I can get a good one in Cyprus! Huh! |
Bananaclip | Tuesday, December 23, 2003 - 02:16 pm     My df just bought me a Chi flat iron for Christmas. It's kinda pricey but worth it! If you have curly hair it won't frizz up in the humidity if you use this iron. It also adds shine. Just thought I'd share. You can buy at most salons. Df got mine at JCPenney's salon. |
Fluff | Wednesday, December 24, 2003 - 07:06 am     Is it a ceramic one? I've heard great things about those. |
Urgrace | Wednesday, December 24, 2003 - 11:52 am     Forgot to tell ya'll that I got my hair trimmed and touched up last Thursday. My hairdresser said I should keep it at about the length it is now, but it is annoying me. It's not long enough and rubs on the collar and too short to hang over the collar. The color looks good though. |
Essence | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 07:50 am     Aackkkkk!!! I can't take it anymore. I've been without braids for 3 weeks now. I'm breaking down and getting my micros back today. I'll probably be sitting for the rest of the evening, but I won't have to deal with it again like this for a couple of months. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 08:55 am     <...naive white girl fumbles into thread...> How long does it take for all of those micros to be done? And what exactly is a micro? Are there minis? And maxis? I don't think I'd have the patience to sit there while it's being done, but upkeep time is reduced, correct? Edited to add: I just saw the pic at the top. Micros? |
Mocha | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 09:26 am     1/2, those are cornrows. When I had micros it took 10hrs to do with 1 person working on them. The more people, the less time it takes. There are different sizes to the actual braid, can be very small to as big as your finger I think. But the larger the size of the braid the shorter the time you can keep them in before hair starts loosening. Also, you can keep your hair braided for up to 3 or 4 months, after that your hair will begin to lock into dreadlocs. Essense, I hear ya. I'm itching to either get my hair cornrowed or just cut short again. |
Weinermr | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 09:39 am     I thank cod for Supercuts, where I can get my hair (such as it is) butchered every three weeks by a different hair butcher every time. Don't mind me. I enjoy all your hair exploits. |
Mocha | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 09:49 am     Rofl!! |
Fluff | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 10:16 am     LOL! I'm thinking of going to a place like that to get my trims because a lot of AA hairstylists do not know what trim means!  |
Landi | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 10:29 am     did my daddykins actually say that he likes to thank a fish for his hair??? |
Weinermr | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 10:33 am     LOL Landidaughter. No telling WHAT I might say today. |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 10:39 am     Landi, he is just fishing for attention. |
Mware | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 10:40 am     Only the shad-ow knows what he'll say next. |
Weinermr | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 11:50 am     I'd like to at least be paid scale. |
Mware | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 12:09 pm     Are you fin-ished now? |
Weinermr | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Wha'd you say? I'm having trouble herring you. |
Fluff | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 02:11 pm     Tee hee! |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 04:40 pm     Fluff, just tuna those wise guys out. |
Mocha | Wednesday, December 31, 2003 - 05:46 am     Per Tess' request, here's a pic of micro braids that I found:

Tess | Wednesday, December 31, 2003 - 06:43 am     ahhhhh, I get it now! Thanks. |
Mocha | Wednesday, December 31, 2003 - 06:45 am     Yw. Also not sure if you could tell but the hair isn't braided all the way to the end. It's loose which makes it easier to do different styles. |
