Why don't you just stock up on locing gel before you go to Naija? Go to a couple of locticians in your area and ask they how much is 5 months worth of locing gel. |
There's nothing is wrong with being born in the US lol. The reason I said I had a feeling you were born in the US is because it seemed like you weren't aware of the things that are associated with having loced hair which I suppose is ok since some people who weren't born in Naija are unaware of certain things about what is perceived is Nigeria. Honestly, I have nothing against you being born in the US. Sometimes I get a bit heat from some Nigerians because I was raised in the US so I wouldn't even wanna step out of line and do the same to you. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I meant no harm with my comment. Ok back to your locs, it all depends on how often you feel the need to re-twist them. Some people re-twist them every three weeks and other wait a bit longer. It totally up to you. I guess you could go with every three weeks if you like. Just make sure you have the proper tools if you're gonna do this while in Naija. Remember, some products here in the states may not be available in Nigeria, |
Hmmm, I had a feeling you were born in the US lol. Well, I think it would be better to have it done in the US or perhaps you could hold off on getting locs till you come back from Naija. I know you mentioned summer but exactly how long do you intend to staying in the Nigeria? If you do decide to loc your hair before you leave the US and want someone in Nigeria to re-twist them for you, make sure that the person knows what they are doing and how to care for loced hair. |
souldust:I've never liked the idea of having a bride price or dowry no matter what culture we're talking about. And yes, you're right, a lot of me do think that they own these women because they paid a bride pride, culturally, it seems like some men have gone astray from the original "purpose" of having a bride price. I know this isn't a great example or reference, but I've seen some Nigerian movies where some of the men say such things. In come countries, families are using this bride price as a means of auctioning off their daughters to the highest bidder and be doing so, it reinforces the idea that women are nothing more than property. |
macjive01:I really don't know what to tell you about your wife but I doubt that she's having a midlife crisis. I do on the other hand think it nice that you lust for your wife, normally I see men lusting over women other than their wife. Anyway, have you tried speaking to her about her behavior? |
Timi1990:Nothin' much, just school and work as usual. My family is fine, thank you for asking. How is your family? I hope they are well. Skimpymoi:Good, good. Just hangin' around. You? |
"Good" hair?!?! Any hair that is properly cared for and loved is good hair. Anyway. . . The reason your mother doesn't want you to go to Nigeria with locs is because there are a lot of social connotations associated with having loced hair. As for where you can get them twisted retwisted, I have no idea. If personally think you should get them locked here in the US first before getting them re-twisted in Naija. A few months back, I posted some videos on a thread on care for loced hair. Even if you couldn't find someone to do your hair, there are ways for you to do it yourself. If you want to have it professionally done, re-twisting you hair in Naija would depend on how long you intend on staying there. For the most part, you should twist your locs as needed. By the way, do you know what kind of locs you want to get? One more thing, I don't wanna assume things about people but I'm curious to know, were you born in the US? |
I was in class and soon I'll be at work ![]() |
[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=656978.msg8232113#msg8232113 date=1304131255]@OP, I think we can defend ourselves quite alright. I don't think we need to be defended by anyone. ms. potato has a real boyfriend? I thought she only had cyber boyfriends? lord reed and orton. lol[/quote]lol, she actually has a boyfriend. In my opinion, her and her boyfriend look alike. harakiri:Nice write-up. |
Hmmm, I would probably distribute some of the money among charities that have a "pay it forward" mentality when it comes to helping others. The remaining money. . . Ummmm, I'd have to think about it. I definitely don't think I'd wanna keep it for myself though. |
^^^ Ummm, since when did cutting you hair low mean that? ![]() |
OAM4J:I never said you couldn't have an opinion. The whole point in me asking you that question was to hear what you had to say. |
olas2u:Lmao, how mature of you. Smh, you didn't make your point so you resorted to name calling abi? I can see that you were raised well. . . Not!! Look, when you're done having your little ḅitch fit, get back to me so we can actually have a mature conversation instead of you just throwing around silly names and having tantrums. Have a nice weekend. |
olas2u:Ok, good for you. You've called me a know it all--has that made you feel better? Have you finished rolling your eyes, ṡhitting your pants, or having a ḅitch fit? |
