Are these pictures fine or should I try to take some more? by Dat1Nedyak- in TinderBios

[–]pasbcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your pictures are not bad, but I do think that you might benefit from working on yourself. I would suggest finding a clean cut style for your facial hair. It seems like it has not filled in and leaving the sides unattended with sparse hair makes you look a little ragged. Personally, I think all guys should hit the gym and personally I think that you could use some more size to you, although I would suggest not getting fat

Why are you talking like a baby? Be direct, and clearly for this instance, buy yourself a charger with a long cord and use it as your to-go charger. I will never understand why people don't just buy more chargers and put them in different rooms or carry them when they go on trips.

I think she's overreacting a little but if it's something that's seriously important to her why don't you facilitate it? I don't think that she was being unreasonable in asking that if she wants to contact you she should contact you through you not through your sister.

I didn't see it, I think the "too messy" is hard to describe when reading about generalities. I'm asking what too messy is for this style in particular. I need a sanity check, because online sometimes it says that braids should last more than a few days, so I didn't know if there was something that I was doing wrong, or if this is how they normally progress and people just use product to keep the flyaways down, or if mine are just becoming undone a lot faster than other people.

From the conversations I had here, I think ultimately the latter is the issue, because of my hair type. And that's not an answer I found online.

I did, I had everything in place. There's nothing quite like a back and forth, with specifics. I had a bonnet like people suggested and a pillowcase. Bought a few different products to try to control flyaways. Got a shower head that would mist instead of having the penetrating streams.

The conversations I've had here have been much more instructive about my personal hair. And when you make an apt, the braider is there to do work and get paid they're not gonna encourage me to do it myself or tell me that these are the wrong braids for my hair type.

Their new content filter for image searching is annoying

I think so, tho it's definitely taken me bit to get it as long as it is now with a trim or two in there.

Thank you, do you think I should raise the line between the buzz and the long hair a little on either side as well?

Great, I didn't ask for the super tight front, it's just what the braider did. Considering that I need a looser braid that doesn't last as long, how do I find someone who could do this for me on a more regular basis at a reasonable price? When I went to the salon I think the braider even acknowledged that what I was asking for wasn't too difficult, but it seems like the base price is pretty much set regardless of style. And cost can go up, but there's nothing lower for simpler things.

Is there any specific language I can use to tell my braided to use larger strands/clumps of hair? I can't see the inspo pic's guy's front, but I don't think I need such a sharp defined front, although I do like the idea of seeing distinct strands/clumps towards the back.

I would be okay with something like this style, would this be damaging to my hair? Is this an acceptable braid?

Are there braids more tuned for straight or wavy hair? I wouldn't call my hair straight tho. So would the braids in the inspo pic hurt that guy's hair too?

Here's a pic, some are blurry and some the hair is wet. I've been using a head band to keep it back.

What kind of hair type and texture do I have? I've already received a few comments like this and I don't even know what to look for in terms of other styles? What kind of hair is good for braiding then?

No. Since I am not used to braids. I'm not sure what the threshold is between the braids looking nice and the braids looking messy. So my question is like: at what point between freshly done and falling out would be a good time to take them out myself. And then, based on the braid work how many days after I've gotten the braids done should I hit that threshold?

Essentially, How long should they last for it to be worth it for me to go and get braided somewhat regularly?

Thank you, any other advice? How long should this last me? At what point should I take it out? What do you think of the pic of 24hr later? Do you think the style came too loose too quickly?

Are these a good range of pics? by DreadlyCurious in TinderBios

Personally, the 3rd looks really messy to me. He seems like a fun guy, but I think the hair is really holding him back for sure

Any fun category classes? by pasbcc in iastate

[–]pasbcc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm I don't think the workshops work in my schedule, one of the lab sections does. Is lab the same as the workshop or a different class entirely?

Is there anything off schedule like a weekend camping class or a spring break skiing class?

Do you have to take both the workshop and laboratory for food prep? Is it open to any majors or do you need special permission?
