Are you ok Jerry? You seem to be slapping yourself a lot...... 



Oh no !!!Rave do you have naturally curly hair only it's texture is more course from the medicine?
Oh and bad boys are hawt!!!![]()
Another one. 

Why is it the simple things always go wrong? The leak in the brake line on the Jeep was in a bad spot, about an inch from the fitting where it changes to flex hose to go to the axel. Rather than trying to get in there with a flaring tool and put in a coupling I made a saddle clamp and that worked really well, or at least seems to have solved the problem of the hole. It was a stone hit that finally let loose, I could feel the dent from where the stone or whatever hit the line. That part went pretty well, but when I went to bleed the brakes the bleed nipple on the right side snapped off, so now I have to put a new wheel cylinder in, then do some serious bleeding, and it's hotter than Hades out there and the humidity is up around 90%.
My hair was getting thinner, and long just doesn't work well anymore. After some debate, I got it cut to three inches all over. It curls naturally just fine, and I don't need to comb it anymore. The last time I got it cut, that was my complaint. It looked like a 'fro-- a bit too much for the no nonsense kind of look that I like.I Googled and found a picture of my style before the ruthless assault on my hair. Then I priced out perms. $115 for a perm?!?!?I don't think so! Soooo ... as per my usual m.o., I decided to do it myself having never undertaken such a delicate procedure. I researched and found what should have been the right size perm rollers to return me to my sleek black waves. But ............ it didn't turn out that way. 8-o It's still very wet, but it's entirely possible that I'm now sporting a fro (a long one) like I wore in 1983.
What the heck was I thinking?!
I got stood in the corner once for telling a girl friend it looked like she'd gotten a short in her vibrator. Misspent youth.
.........I kinda like bad boys.![]()

Sorry, rave, but I LIKE the other two that you'ed at. Plus it relaxes over time, so you'll probably end up with the first one anyway.
So did you use your rayon to catch the drips?![]()
Nope didn't use the rayon for the drips. I'm thinking of stuffing a pillow with it. Good to know that it relaxes over time. I just conditioned the heck out of it and styled it. It's much more like the way that my hair normally should look pre-med damage.Rave do you have naturally curly hair only it's texture is more course from the medicine?

Oh no - not a bad hair "day" - This would have been bad hair "weeks"!! But, I think it's bending to my will.Rave, as long as all you ended up with is a bad hair day it's not all that bad..

I like the very short cut some Black women get that emphasizes head shape, but just a bit longer for (mostly grey) loose curls.
I bet with just a bit of adjustment it will look fine, Rave.

Naw, it doesn't bother me, Rave. What bothers me is that you think you are so hideous looking that you blacked out your face in that pic.Yeahhhh - they're nice until they aren't anymore.![]()

My hair is naturally like the first picture right down to being wild and having a mind of its own. My medication actually bends and distorts the hair follicles so that my hair was growing out fuzzy. I didn't like it one bit.

Thanks 0mg. I've thought of going short, but, I love having long hair, and always have. It frames my face better than short.
Here's what I ended up with after using Argan oil conditioning, which is pretty darned close to what I wanted in the first place.![]()

And I'm certain that the males in the thread are absolutely NOT fascinated with this subject. Sorry guys!

She is cute, Lizzie. I have the pics to prove it, but Raven will kill me if I post them, so everyone will have to take my word for it.Other than looking like you are ready to rob a bank, I think you looks cute, RAven. Or at least your hair does.

Rave, it looks good!! You need lots of conditioner in it, especially the first month or so. One reason why I prefer chemical-free (and heat-free) hair. I intend on keeping it as healthy as it can be. The only thing special is purple shampoo, to get the color as sparkly as possible.
I don't think I'm hideous. It's just ... a gal has to have a little bit of mystery about her, y'know?![]()
