Lol no our hair is just harder to maintain, unlike every other race who have similar hair. We can't blowdry everyday and not get heat damage, we can't shampoo like a crazy person in the shower and not expect a wild mess, we can't straighten our hair and expect it not to look like captain caveman when the rain wets it the list is endless but I am happy to say more and more black people are starting to enjoy the versatility of their hair regardless of what society/media calls beautiful

This is me. Only you got a nice tidy haircut and my hair is massive at this stage. Up until recently I needed paste/clay hair products to ruffle it into a messed up style and hairspray to keep it that way. Otherwise it would sink in to this weird super flat, super shiny, odd shaped ... just awful ... awfulness. My hair has this naturally weird shape if I just let if fall down. So I don't.

Mind you it's getting long enough now to simply tangle and gain volume itself with a bit of palm twirling and stuff - no products needed. Which is good because the amount of hairspray I used to use just absolutely murdered my hair. Every time I got ready to go out town my housemates used to call it the final solution because you could walk in to the bathroom afterwards and literally hallucinate on the fumes.

I get constant comparisons to Gary Oldman in Sid & Nancy and Robert Smith and stuff but really it's all I can do with my hair. Left naturally growing it takes a horrible shape until it's really long and I hate it short because my head shape is a bit like Kryten from Red Dwarf after a hair cut.

we call it shrinkage.Basically when you're 100% natural (no chemical straightener/relaxer) since our hair is the tightest curl, when it's wet it shrinks. Someone that looks ear lenght hair can actually be mid back lenght if hair is stretched by blowdrying, or other methods like this. Couldn't find a better one

another good example of shrinkage. You see this one stretch as she flat irons.

Sorry to disrupt your thread.


Using gel then using spray is the way to go, as per my white male friends.
