Like I said in the other post. I did do my big chop already. My grandpa had very straight hair so I'm not sure if my hair is just gonna be somewhat like that or not. It's still thick and course but I don't have to do any hair stretching like the other women cause I don't have hardly any curls or shrinkage :mjcry:

Could you pull this off with your current hair texture :lupe:

Real talk I didn't know there were so many different natural hair styles. Sometimes I look my girl hair and I'm like :mindblown:

She told me about bantu knots when I first met her. Whenever she does it, I love the way it makes her hair looks. Then she puts this coconut shyt in it and I be getting my creep on and sniffing her hair when she's not paying attention :ahh:

he's right though, i didn't remember the specifics but i spoke to an gas station owner about that last year. dude transfers the ownership of his station to a relative after x amount of years.

I remember you talking about it in another thread (I think it was the thread about the dude making 6 figures owning a gas station). I thought you were bullshytting but look like it's fukking true.

This is why so many black women are going to the Dominicans. They know how to maintain our kind of hair without putting all the chemicals in it that do damage

My girl went to a dominican hair stylist and they fukked her hair up :camby:

They used a flat iron to straighten it and it ruined the texture of her hair. She had to cut off 3 inches of damaged hair after like 3 months

Damn. My wife and all her girls go to them. But I guess some are better than others just like barbers :manny:

I believe it. But it doesn't bother me. I wish all races to be successful not just blacks. If black people owned a shop they would get customers too. To me what gets me is women who wear all that damn weave and wigs. It cool if you are just trying to play around with your hair but if you are doing it because you hate your hair it's just sad.

I really hope your CAC :snoop:

Lol naw I got a lot of hair for just doing my big chop but not enough for that. Her hair is long. Have u seen it out of that bun?

It's a lot longer than it seems due to shrinkage. If she pulls it all the way out, it's probably down to her shoulders now. And yeah I've seen it out the bun.

Yeah that shyt is really disheartening, but I'm gonna make sure I do my part in fixing that. I'm gonna try to find a business mentorship program for black folks and join.
