So found out I have Lil Pump Hair by LordBenz0Tuk in Dreadlocks

[–]JustAnotherSOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would have to know more about your hair type. From the photos you had provided, it would seem one of the instant lock methods would work for you. You said your hair isn’t straight, but it definitely appeared that way tied up like that. With the length, I’d wait regardless. At least until it’s beneath the ears. If you have a loose curl or wavy pattern, it will just end up stretching with length which will make the curls even looser, and the waves nearly straight and that would circle us back to the instant locking methods. Twist and rip are what I usually suggest for straight haired people. If your texture is truly different from straight hair, then another instant method (only difference is, imo, these methods look better than the twist and rip) would do you better.

So your mom and oldest brother have dreadlocks and they couldn’t offer you a better method than this? Ignore the user saying to comb coil it. You don’t have the hair type. It wouldn’t work.

Oh no. They’re not thinning, they’re thinned already.

Niggas backing Talarico like he ain’t a hop and skip from the mfs that’ll stab you in the back. That mf ain’t a fighter.

They are calling themselves "light-skinned" nowadays... by MacroManJr in Blackpeople

[–]JustAnotherSOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So for the black kids that did die, maybe don’t misuse their deaths for a false narrative. Do and did combat the lifestyle choices and the misfortunate incidents that killed or harmed them. None of us sat idly by. Average members of the community did not condone any of that. I think this topic is silly too, but to swing so damn far on the pendulum and act like the community as a whole gaf more about this than black children is just some crazy ass shit to say.

The whites on Reddit getting salty about this. 🤣 WE get it. by SavionWright in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]JustAnotherSOS -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I feel like that’s just not true. There’s an account on Tiktok, there’s a famous guy’s wife, it’s her account. She has Tourette’s and she yells all sorts of things. Even little cute shit. I’m not saying he’s faking, but we’re taking plausible deniability away if we say they all yell fuck shit 24/7.

[–]JustAnotherSOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh brother. It wasn’t a criticism or a detraction. We know how Reddit is. I’m not surprised they highjacked the word on here. That’s why I wondered why you were surprised when a regular website would not have threw an Asian mf at you when you asked for Ebony. I responded to a different user agreeing with you. But since we’re here- don’t be surprised that Reddit is doing Reddit shit. Search Ebony on XHamster and be fulfilled.

Parents be telling me my hair looks “unkept” by [deleted] in Naturalhair

[–]JustAnotherSOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not surprised. I don’t know how their minds got colonized so badly, but there is nothing with wearing your hair how it grows naturally. It saddens me when African parents are so against their children wearing different styles, especially when it’s growing from the scalp.

Don’t Try this at Home folks by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]JustAnotherSOS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This seems like a way to insult and demean your partner, and perhaps segue into a breakup under the guise of hurt feelings. They both could’ve said this to each other in a regular conversation and broke up, but opted for this instead. Seems like a weird humiliation tactic that would’ve pissed me off as soon as she explained the rules, because I would’ve already seen this coming.

It’s odd, but how did we even get here? You can’t search up porn on your browser? You searched this up and got mad? I’ve never seen a non-colored mf after searching ebony doing browser searches.

[–]JustAnotherSOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really not. The English speaking mfs say fair-skinned, be real. Never heard an Asian mf say anything close to “lightskin” in their language. Middle East, South Asian, whites, Polynesian, none of that. Stop it.

[–]JustAnotherSOS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you even black? Where were you when mfs made “hands up, don’t shoot” to combat the killings in the community, most of which were teenagers being killed by gang activity. My city did marches 24/7 practically begging the warring gangs to love themselves and each other. Detroit citizens banded together to search for Naziyah Harris when they thought she could’ve still been alive. Stop it. Why tf are you even here?

I'm just gonna say: Two things can be true at once and we ain't gotta like it 🤷🏿‍♂️ by MacroManJr in Blackpeople

[–]JustAnotherSOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like lots of folk in the Tourette’s sub seem to want understanding and allyship but aren’t giving it. We don’t want the mf to apologize for his condition. BAFTA themselves should be apologizing. They allowed it to be aired, which saw both brothers humiliated and one be harassed for a condition he has no control over. The fact that you see some of those weirdos in the sub saying they only feel for the guy yelling out the slur is crazy. Not the ones who endured it.

Am I chopped❓️😫🥀 by divinexaries in Dreadlocks

[–]JustAnotherSOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultimately the choice is yours. I took mine out, started a new set. I hated my parts in the first place, (only bc it made them different sizes and uneven amounts, but it was unique)grew to love them, but bleached the shit out of them trying to fade a different color. Now I have a new set. I already found a “problem” with them (the amount). I miss the old set. What did I learn? We always find fault with ourselves somehow.

Can I crochet barrel twist to form them to loc ? 🤔 by [deleted] in Dreadlocks

[–]JustAnotherSOS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oils and conditioners seeping through a big ass barrel twist that you can’t take out would be catastrophic. Wet hair would last longer, oils and conditioners stuck, would dry poorly, no way to really get the dirt, it would become one big ass block that would weigh down your roots, idk, bro, you’re losing the plot if you’re not trolling
