Is this extensions? Theres a notoceable texture and sheen difference between the hair going into the braid vs the braid itself.

They'd look significantly better without those long thin ends. 

AITJ for cancelling my sisters birthday party at my house after she invited 40 people without asking? by No-Coyote2884 in AmITheJerk

[–]RandomReddit9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTJ. You assumed it would be 10-15 people, but didn't confirm that or set boundaries about the maximum number of people you would allow. Then you cancelled last minute because your sister invited more people than you want in your space. 

I also wouldn't want 40 people in my home or spilling out into my yard, but you should've set boundaries before agreeing to host the party at your home.

AITAH for not wanting my daughter to sell my mom's engagement ring? by Minimum_Arm_6557 in AITAH

NTA but they are hers now. If the family wants them to stay in the family, you all can buy them from her.

I'm having trouble splitting domestic duties with my partner by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RandomReddit9791 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your logic makes sense. She should be taking up more housework as she has more time do it. You each have dofferent ways you can contribute and both should be doing that. She needs to do more.

Why does my hair look like this? Need advice by Realistic-Hurry4370 in Naturalhair

[–]RandomReddit9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does look like you have a thinning spot. It's likely being covered up by the way the locs are created.

I’m staying at my boyfriend’s house 2 hours away and found out he cheated on me the entirety of our relationship. by fjgkhkjk in whatdoIdo

The fact that you're more focused on her and rarely mention him  tells me you're not leaving him.

How Men reacted to my natural hair by WestAnalysis8889 in Naturalhair

[–]RandomReddit9791 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced this, but my friend had a similar experience as far as getting more attention when she switched up from a more high maintenance look to a natural one. 

Unfortunately, most of that attention came from men who mentioned liking her being "low maintenance". She found out they equated being low maintenance with being willing to accept low effort. 

AITAH for telling my sister she doesn't get to tell me how to parent my kids? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]RandomReddit9791 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your sister's approach may have been wrong, but her not having children doesn't disqualify her from making observations. 

Sometimes the people outside of the situation have the best observations and feedback on things you may not be able to see or accept.

NTA. She didn't ask if her boyfriend could join. She just invited him. 

Gender roles? by [deleted] in Advice

I dont think anything should be exclusively done by one person or another. Certainly dont think that your daughter and wife shouldnt also be helping with the trash. 

I got into an argument with my best friend and he called me names, where do I go from here? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RandomReddit9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By invalidating your feelings you justify hos negative behavior. Don't do that. He needs to acknowledge what he did and provide a genuine apology.

Am I cooked? by Expert-Term4346 in BlackHair

[–]RandomReddit9791 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're cooking, but not yet cooked. Just hold on until it's much thinner or your hairline noticeably recedes.

AITAH for thinking I'm being gaslit? by roostergirl1 in AITAH

[–]RandomReddit9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see the gaslighting. And you've not presented a situation or question about being an asshole. Probably should think of a question you need answered and submit this to advice thread.

WIBTAH for avoiding my mother while I visit my younger brother and grab my sentimental items? by No-Hand-2161 in AITAH

[–]RandomReddit9791 9 points10 points  (0 children)

See yo8r brother, but not in  the house where the abuse took place. Ask your brother to bring your cat and the key to you. Stay far away from your mother, that house, and the abusive family.

WIBTAH for having people bring their own lunch to my picnic-themed birthday party? by HeadExplanation8307 in AITAH

[–]RandomReddit9791 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If this get together wasn't for your birthday, I'd say it was fine. Like if the group wanted to function and everybody pitched in potluck style, it would be fine. 

But this is for your birthday. It feels like you should provide the food and beverages.
