The watercooler: a place to chat

I will also straight up ask a salon if they have worked with mixed or curly hair before i sit in a chair.

Reminds me of the time my mom took us to a children's hair salon a few years ago, and a BLACK WOMAN proceeded to tell my mom that she couldn't do my hair because she "don't do dreads".
My hair was BRAIDED, not even in a style that was unmanageable. And all we really wanted was one of those perms you do without chemicals (like with a blowdryer).

we left shortly after that.

Have you tried a salon that specializes in ethnic hair yet?

edit:

Lol no I’m teying to extend my hair with breaksticks from olive garden. It’s a tread now.

That sounds oddly creative XD

Yeah I have gone to enthic stylis. They tell me my hair is to fine and “white”.
I have gone to other stylist and they say they can do curly hair but then they do stuff like the razor thing. Or once they tried to blow dry my hair straight for an hour even though I told them i just wanted it dry and that it won’t straighten like that. I need very high damaging heat and lots of products to get my hair straight. But because I have fine hair alot of people treat it like non enthic hair not relizing that i am still prone to dryness and have very stubborn curls. I was 23 when i figured out I need to put in oil to keep it from drying and now i use Cantu after my shower to set and keep my curls hydrated.

They tell me my hair is to fine and “white”.

Oh, snap.
edit: At least they'll be floored to see you with braids once you master it yourself

(And, hey Cantu! I use their edge gel to tame my hairline; my hair is short along the front that no matter how much I brush it out it sticks up like it's flagging down a plane.)

If i go to a salon and say I want braids they tell me my hair is to soft it won’t stay.

That’s crazy! When I was 11 we went to Hawaii for 2 weeks and my mom put braids in my hair because she didn’t want to deal with how stubborn my curls get when they are in salt water. They stayed, and lasted about 3 weeks before we took them out. And I don’t have ethnic hair! Idk how long you want them to stay though.

Everyone here can have nice cool colored hair, and all I want is to have pastel purple/lanvender hair, but I can’t.

If bleach so much has breaths on my hair it turns into a frizzy mess

I will never bleach my hair again tbh, because it became so hard to brush and style afterward. I put coconut oil on my hair every morning after I bleached it and it still felt like paper. One of the contributors in my decision to cut it all off!!
You could look into those powders they sell for temporary hair color? It supposedly shows up really well on dark hair

I tried hair chalk, it causes my hair to dread.

I had the same problem with my hair. No mater what product I used my hair was like straw after lightening. It wasn’t even bleach at that time, it was just light hair color that strips a little. I tried bleach once and it was even worse, frizzy and breaking.

I know my hair holds braids. It’s just somthing they say because they don’t want to deal with my hair. A old co-worker once cornrowed my hair and it stayed for two weeks. It is just harder to “grip” fine hair so it takes more time and skill and they don’t want to deal with it.

Who else tends to stay up until 2am feeling hungry but having nothing to eat so instead you watch Gordon Ramsey/Ainsley Hariott cooking vids and make it worse

[dawgofdawgness]

Hahaha I do that too.
But you know those weird eating ASMRs?
I like to find a good one, sit down, turn off the volume, and cry.

So this is a thread for nattering, chatting, having a laugh and procrastinating. tell a funny story from your day,

You gave me a compliment on another thread, although only small it really made my day,

[punkarsenic]

awww, im glad

[dawgofdawgness]

I was watching Train to Busan with one of my friends today when one of the more "innocent" girls of our group came over and started watching it with us.
She was pretty frightened by all the blood and I could hear her whimpering at certain points but then it got really weird like she started crying, but not out of fear. She was crying because she started feeling sympathy for the ordinary people who were getting turned into zombies.

I just thought that was really pure.

[JimJom]

That's something I would do. Except if millions of people die, meh...
dog dies, Cries a water fall

She was crying because she started feeling sympathy for the ordinary people who were getting turned into zombies.

I was over at my friends house who has a baby sister and they were watching the old thomas the tank engiene (the best one because baby shows get ruined) and the faces they make...

(mini rant)
Now old baby tv shows are ruined, have you seen bob the builder? He looks actually human now.

[Mr_B]

This is the part where I come up to the watercooler with my phone to show everyone a video I stumbled upon. I laughed so hard at this the first couple of times I literally started crying.

(Utterly NSFW language.)

[dawgofdawgness]

Oh my god I love Jaboody Dubs and I love that video

[TheThoughtfulBoxful]

Don't mind me, i'm just getting a drink.

[LordVincent]

So I find this music relaxing like I could sleep to it.

There's fucking growling in there occasionally. Am I a lost metal case?

[joe_galindez]
