    Default Mama's Got A Brand New Bag of Random Nappy Thoughts

    HEY! </James Brown>

    Because I listen to my hair, I'm back to the shingled shrunken 'fro, at least for this week. Of course I had to explain to several people that no, I didn't cut it, it's all still here, just doing its Slinky thing.

    I realized that most people have no clue what shrinkage is or how it works...they really think that my BAA just stays that way 24-7. Afro hair is really its own thing...but as I was telling some of our African visitors last week, it's unique in the world and should be celebrated, not destroyed. They happily agreed with me.
    Hello, 2021. Glad to see you. Hope you're bringing us goodness and light this year!

    I tried curl activator last week and it dried my hair alllll the way out. It's going under my sink until we get some humidity around here. Thankfully HH got it back to normal.

    So I wet my hair today. I really don't know how to handle kinky-straightish hair besides putting it up in a bun . I'll try it again when my hair's longer. Hopefully it'll lay better .
    Is it wrong that I couldn't help but smile when I saw my hair all shrunken and curled up and back to normal?

    This morning confirmed it. I wore a shrunken 'fro to work. With a headband.

    I looked good. Still...

    Some want a wash 'n go. I want a wake 'n wear. I need to decide what to do. Soon.

    Rockin' this braid-out has been giving me a bigger and better 'fro than my twist-out and I'm loving it. I'll be back to keeping it under covers soon with the cold weather so I'm enjoying this while I can.

    I've been natural for over three years now, so how come i can never come up with a creative way to pin up my twists??

    Six years ago, in my little corner of the midwest where EVERYTHING is slow to catch on, the nappy scene is truely coming into it's own with little fan fare. Unlike the 60s where natural hair was such a statement, it quitely asserting itself and cropping up all over the place. Everywhere I look these days I see black females in all age ranges and all textures wearing their own hair. At my nieces preseason basketball game Sunday (with not a lot of folks in attendance I might add) there were five of us with natural hair. One was a parent, another was one of the player's aunt, me and two basketball players were wearing afro puffs. Then as always, our coaches little four year old had the cutest flat twists done up into a cute little afro puff. Yesterday, while I was waiting on the bus, I saw the nappiest cutest afro puff on a young lady.

    I'm lovin' it!
