One evening after work while I was waitng for the train a guy who appeared to be drunk stumbled towards me. <br /><br />I really wanted to turn the other way but I just stood there for some reason and he said, I like your hair (I was wearing two-strand twists). People were starting to stare because he was slurring and talking loud. <br /><br />I said thanks and then he shouted five words that made my evening - "You look like Lauryn Hill" It didn't matter that this was coming from someone who was drunk - but that statement rang in my head the entire train ride home :o)Laquitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418620084044106211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-64142893141684822002009-05-31T04:42:01.621+01:002009-05-31T04:42:01.621+01:00When my hair was a short colored TWA and my skin w...When my hair was a short colored TWA and my skin was super clear...I rolled up to my mom's job with her and her boss *they are close* said "Oh my goodness you look like a model I love your hair!!"

Since I didn't have all the hair in my face, people could see it better. That was comforting. I get the most compliments when I do twist-outs because my fro is bigger and full of life.Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967401858771081827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-45978530182663613242009-05-30T04:08:00.018+01:002009-05-30T04:08:00.018+01:00I've had "versatile", "interesting", and "cute" - ...I've had "versatile", "interesting", and "cute" - but never anything like "beautiful". granted i wear a short free form fro pinned back or in a headband most of the time. maybe if i try some more exciting styles i'll get more compliments.mellowyelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156270979302155423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-58222732744353443122009-05-30T01:04:45.924+01:002009-05-30T01:04:45.924+01:00I had my hair in big twists and side swept it... a...I had my hair in big twists and side swept it... and my cousin couldn't stop staring at it and she finally said: "I am completely jealous of your hair!

Your hair is MAGICAL!"
This was right after ..."OMG! Your hair is MAGICAL!"<br />This was right after I finished my BC and I was a little uncomfortable with it. My friend pulled one of the curls so it was twice as long as it usually is (hi shrinkage!) and let it spring back. I was smiling the rest of the night.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673730452837188773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-73762193938803069232009-05-29T19:30:29.145+01:002009-05-29T19:30:29.145+01:00It had to be when this Lebanese woman told me that...It had to be when this Lebanese woman told me that she loved my hair (was just my 3" wash and go in no particular style) and that in another life she wanted to be a tall, thin Black woman...with natural hair like mine....LOL!
