That is sage fucking advice right there.

I imagine that the Venn Diagram of people who use the word “wigger” and people who know the definition of the word “portmanteau” has to be two separate circles.

Exactly! Several of my family members compete/have competed in Irish dance. Apparently, competition rules require this hairstyle (small, right curls) — so if you don’t want to use a wig, you use the technique described in this guide. Nobody called this “giving your self an afro” — they called it twisting your fucking…

My husband’s hair that fit that description when it was long was referred to as “Sideshow-Bob-esque.”

Love yourself and like better people.

It is compound offensive, because they didn’t even racist right. That is not a fro, call it a twist-out or just rag curls. Within 20 mins that hair will look like Jennifer Grey’s in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which is still cute but not fro.

So I am learning here and verifying information:

Black hair that is even and round around the head = an afro.

All other curly hair that is even and round around the head = a twist out.

I never really ran around calling things afros or whatever, but it does seem to be common parlance, plus I have basically straight…

what i cannot understand is why they didn’t do the same piece, but call it “straight to curly” or something like that. the end result looks cute, and it would have worked just as easily sans *any* reference to afros. some of my white friends from elementary school would get their hair like this with twists and sock…

“Why is it okay for black people to have afros but not white people? Why is there BET but WET would be considered racist? Why is there black history month but no white history month? Why can they say the N-word but we can’t?”

“Technically her style is called a Twist Out.”

yeah and like, if men are soooo bad at reading social clues as they claim, then logically they shouldn’t be allowed to work jobs which rely on interpreting social clues, like oh I don’t know, police officers, therapists, etc.

“If it’s some sort of consolation,” Why would this offer any consolation?

OMG, the Starbucks secret menu is the fucking worst.

If they’re posting it, it’s not actually a “secret menu.” That’s just an attempt by a restaurant to take advantage of this eyeroll-worthy trend.

While we’re at it, can we stop calling tips “hacks”?!?!

I prefer double-secret menus.

All right, that’s it, humanity. Get on the bus, you are going to day camp because you have clearly run out of things to do.

It’s funny you suggest that. Many moons ago when I first started to lose my hair, I did the bandana thing. I was visiting a friend in Colorado and we went hiking in the rockies and I had one on because it was sunny. Skipping ahead, I forgot that the sun was stronger and I was burned from the eyebrows down. I looked…

A bandana? Added bonus of looking like a pirate!
