I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

Okay, I keep having this arguement with my mom she thinks that wearing your hair straight down looks dumb I think it looks better she thinks that if im gunna wear my hair down I gotta flip the ends, and I think it looks stupid and I hate it. I'm getting sick of wearing my hair like that and i just want to wear it straight down like a normal person but she says that african americans arent supposed to wear their hair straight down but I dont agree. she wont listen to me and I cant stand wearing my hair like that. What do you think, who do you think is right, what should I do? Thankss :]

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

I never had arguement with my mother on how I wore my hair. We always yelled about other stuff. heh

As for who is right and wrong. Your Both right, but it sounds like your both wrong in the way your coming at each other..

Hair is too be worn in whatever way makes You feel good as a person, male or female. If that means shaving it bald, sticking it straight up, or out to the side like your in a wind tunnel then do it. There is no set appropriate hair style for one race or another. That would be like me saying all white girls have to have long hair straight curled under, and black girls have to afros 2 feet tall, and all hispanics have to that high crown to brush the ceiling, all egyptians have to have it rolled like Princess Leih, all indians have to have pigtail braids down to their knee's with feathers...Gets kind of stupid and racist quick doesn't it?

Come at your mom from a different angle. Instead of "It's Stupid that way." try "I feel stupid. I don't want to feel stupid." be sure to come at her calmly expressing You feeling about the hair style you want. ( How it makes you feel, why you feel this way, ect.) And, again, calmly express how the hair style she wants you to way makes you feel.

(I hope I wasn't offensive in my answer. If you've taken offense to anything I've said, my deepest apologies. That wasn't not my intention.)

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

sit and say mom this is how i want my hair and that it i wnat to wer MY hair they way i want it it's MY hair !!!

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

Who's hair is it? YOURS so tell her you don't give her orders how to wear her hair, so she should lay off.

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

Don't argue with her, but also think about it, you don't have to conform to what other African Americans are doing with their hair. Have you thought of curling it under? That's very cute and classy. Having your hair straight somedays works, but flip it out one day and see what it looks like. No guy wants a girl that looks like all the others!

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

i can't believe that you and your mom had an arguement about whether to wear your hair up or down.....you guys must have no problems....wow....

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

You can wear your hair how ever you want.... just because you are African American doesn't mean you should limit yourself hairstyle wise. I have seen all kinds of styles on African Americans... so do your thing and find a good style you feel comfortable with.

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

I think you should wear your hair however you want to. Tell her that how SHE wants you to wear your hair, isnt who you are....and thats obviously not what you want. I think straight hair on african americans looks cute and so does flipped....so both of you are right, but in this case, you should be able to wear your hair however you want. If she still doesnt understand just say:

"mom i understand that you want me to wear my hair that way, but that doesnt express who I am, it expresses who YOU are and i want my friends to see me for who i am." I know that sounds a lil cheesy or watever but it will probably work :-) good luck

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

I think it partly depends on the shape of your face, and partly on the texture of your hair. For the most part, if you hair is softer then flipping the ends up looks pretty because it sort of floats. If you hair is stiffer (which yours probably is) I don't think it looks as good. Just my opinion, of course. It's YOUR hair - you shouldn't be forced to wear it a way that doesn't make you feel your best! ....and I don't believe that any race has a way they are "supposed" to wear their hair.

You don't say how old you are, but talk to her and explain how you feel. A mom should be willing to listen!

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

i think you should wear your hair whatever way makes you happy!!!

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

Sit her down.

Tell her that it's your hair.

And you hate the way she wants you to wear it.

Be completely honest with her.

Maybe you can find a medium.

It's your hair.

But it's also your mom.

Tell her why you think it's stupid.

But don't be to blunt about it.

Goodluck.

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

It's YOUR hair, do whatever you want with it! And being African American has nothing to do with how you should wear your hair!! My mom doesn't like when I wear my hair straight, but I wear it like that anyway. She didn't like how I did my eyeliner, but I wore it like that anyway. You need to stand up to her, say "it's MY hair and I'm going to do whatever I want with it!"

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

ask you mom if you can compromise.. see if you can wear it your way for a week.. and then go back if she or you don't like it..

If not, yea it's your hair, but who's house.. and who makes the rules in the house.

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

OK well you must be a teenager. I have 2 of them and a third is now 21. You dont want to argue with your mom if you want your way. The best way to about it is to put it the form of a suggestion. Let her know you here her and her ideas but then ask her "what do you think if I do my hair.......

You have to remember you are growing up and getting older you mom is loosing her little baby, sometimes it is hard for a parent to cope with this, I know I have been there and I am there again. So try not to be rebel against your mom. Believe me things will go a lot better

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

i think ur right but i dont know how u can convince ur mom that. its your hair u should be able to do whatever u want with it

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

i am a seventies baby, mom white...dad black...

And to be honest....white people were the ones who flip the ends up...ask your mom....at what time did black women start wearing the flip...after they straightened their hair...to have the white look....or were they able to flip it ...when it was in a fro?

I am by no means making jokes..i am from both worlds...so i have a good intake on both sides... Thinking about it...I have a few pics...of my [white] mom...with flips.....but my black aunties....have fros.....

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

I am African American. I wear my hair straight all the time. You can't say that African Americans don't wear their hair a certain way. You can wear you hair anyway you want. Now since you are a minor and still live with your mom then you have to follow her rules...but to certain extent. Don't argue with your mom, but sit down and try talking to her.Be respectful. Explain to her that you really don't like wearing your hair that way and say why. Try to make sure that you have specific reasons why. Don't just say because it looks stupid. Then ask her to talk to you and explain what it is that she likes about the flipped hair and what she doesn't like about straight hair. See if you and your mom can come to mutual agreement. Instead of wearing it bone straight or flipped try wearing body curls or a wrap. This way your hair has some turn and curl to it, but it's not flipped up or straight. The body girls of course will be bigger curls (this is how I wear my hair). To get this style I wash and set my hair. I roll my hair on rods anywhere between 2-4 inches in diameter or width. Then I brush or comb the curls to get them to look teh way I want. The wrap will allow you have straight hair with a slight turn. The style kind of colds to your face. Mothers can be difficult. My mom get doesn't like they way my hair looks all the time, but she doesn't try to control what I do to my hair. I pay for hair to be done every week, and I am no longer a minor. Take good car of your hair. Try to stay away from a lot of heat products like blow dryers and curling irons. The wash and roller set really is the health choice. And make sure to use a good moisturizing conditioner. I wash my hair once a week, and I use a deep moisturizing conditioner every two weeks. If you can find one get a silk or sating pillow case to sleep on this. This will help keep your hair healthy and looking good too. And always keep your ends trimmed and healthy. I love the way my hair looks and I get compliments on it every day. I have very thick coarse jet black hair.

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

ok how you wear you hair is up to you there is no different is race some africans wear a certain style because it is convient for them

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

Curling your hair under is a little old school. How old are you? This may be one of those issues where your Mom hates your hair, but oh well.

I am having this arguement with my mom on how I do my hair, what should I do?

Little curls on the end is cute. ( for 6 year olds.) If your going to wear your hair down don't curl the ends. You'll look like a baby. You are totally right. Who would agree with your mom? I just think your mom probably doesn't understand that your grown up and not a little kid. You should talk to your mom and tell her your never going to wear your hair down with curls. And that your not a little kid anymore. This way is better than getting in a huge fight. She probably wants you to be a little kid forever. My parents want that too. Its cuz they don't want to see you grow up so fast and just leave. Go talk to ur mom. She will understand.

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

Stats:

I am an African American

I do get perms

Its medium length a little past shoulders

It started breaking out about 2 yrs. ago and in recovery haha

It doesn't break out much at all...So now I'm trying to grow it back

My hair was long about 3-4 inches below my shoulder..then it broke out because of a perm..

Its really thick and I get perms every month because it gets hard to manage after then!

Please do NOT suggest to stop getting perms. I use a new perm that doesn't break my hair out btw.

Are their any diets or something?

ANY TIPS ARE SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!.

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

Prenatal vitamins are good for making your hair grow better, at least it worked for me. They can be pretty expensive though, especially the good ones with fish oil included. Good luck - there's still plenty of time left until Christmas!!

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

i would say get extensions or a weave

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

use mane n tail shampoo. instant results guaranteed!

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

I do know there are vitamin suppliments you can take that make sure you have all the nutrients you need for maximum hair (and nail) growth. I believe you can get them at most pharmacies in the US

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

i think itll grow about 3 inches by christmas! but if you really wanna, go to some salon or something and you get get it 'pulled'...i think that's the term. make your hair longer, manually...

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

umm there is this cream or some kind of shampoo that neutralizes your hair and volumizes it. and its supposed to make your hair grow faster. talk to your doctor or hair beautition.

good luck.

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

Girl! I found the solution to your problem. Ultra Nourishair makes my hair grow like crazy it doubles my hair growth rate. Read the reviews.

But you have to take them everyday

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

Yes take a diet from those perms, I think you are doing it to often. also dont comb the lotion down to the ends. if you are perming every month, that means that the longer hair is getting treated to the chemicals each timeyou do it , how much can the ends take? ask the place where you buy the kit for a end protector, or ask your stylist if you have your hair done in a salon good luck

OMG Help! What are some ways I can have my hair 3-4 inches longer by Christmas?

Use Dr. Miracles Hair Products. It has worked for so many of my friends. Especially the hair grease and the shampoo. For a diet routine, if and when you eat salads, put olive oil on them and not dressing. This helps your hair to remain healthy and your nails as well.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

The US Army forbids anyone but African American women to wear braids in their hair.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

I don't have a problem with it but the army may impose certain standards due to hygienic issues or standards of uniform and performance.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

I have never heard this rule; in fact, on my 20 years growing up on army bases, I saw many people braid their hair for convenience.

It's not as if black people invented braiding.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

That is the stupidest thing I ever heard of. What if you are mulatto?

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

woh cool. we should let dome dreadies in the army. they would kick ***. I was talking to a marine im like can I grow my beard in the marines he is like nope. I said im not going to war without a beard so you can go hump a pole.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

it scares me, white people look weird with braids

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

Black women's hair is naturally fuzzy if not treated with wax and can be an occupational health and safety issue for black women in the army because of the frizz in their eyes affecting their work....

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

I'm white, and I wore braids all through my childhood. I never heard anything so silly, why would the Army or anyone forbid a woman to braid their hair? Maybe it's a really old rule that needs to be modified.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

Well it must be an ethnic "political correctess" thing, basically a big hair braid would give an opponent something to grab like a handle and snap their neck. (There's a plus to going bald! The Cueball has spoken!)

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

i think the term socially acceptable is unacceptable, "free your mind and the rest will follow"-En Vogue

i dint see no thou wrong with white people braid their hair

Braiding is fine, but not cornrows on white people that is just plain scary.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

that's a weird rule although Kevin Federline should be thrown in the brig for his cornrows

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

I actually went into a beauty parlor to get my hair braided like alot of black women have %26amp; they told me they don't do it on white girls. Can you believe that? I'm still looking for a place because regardlss of my color I like the way it looks

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

I did not know that. What is the reasoning behind this?

If they want to braid their hair they should be allowed to - maybe the Army doesn't want them to have that ethnic look, or perhaps their trying to perserve our culture

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

yes i do... they don't stop black people from bleaching their hair orange in the weak attempts of trying to bleach it blonde.... so, of course white people should wear braids.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

Why shouldnt it be?Its just a hairstyle.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

I believe that it should be acceptable. Being a Black woman I see nothing wrong with it but most white people's hair is too fine to hold a braid. If a white person's hair can hold a braid then go for it.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

Well it is part of the African American culture. But Hairstyles shouldnt be limited to one race. Thats absurd.

Do you think that it's socially acceptable for white people to braid their hair?

YAAA and I think it is TOTALLY sukky and UNFAIR!!!the marines make native women cut their hair too...like me way back when-THEN I found out they coudnt and ARENT aloowed to MAKE us cut our hair because SOME of were tradtional pow wow dancers...ever since then my hair has NEVER grown to its full length as it used to be....

Yes. right now your body produces small quantities of natural heroin. If you make a blood filtering machine that will extract this out of your body you can sell it for good money. Go to a Narcotics Annonymous meeting and sell a vial twice a month for 100$ at a time. Problem is that you will be arrested since most of those 'recovering' addicts are also police snitches.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I'm a caucasian woman with an 8yo daughter. When she talks about friends at school, people she sees, on tv, etc who happen to be African American, she calls them "brown". (She doesn't mean it in a derogatory sense, she will say, "There's a new girl in my class and she has brown skin and long black hair") For instance, today she bought a new African Amer. baby doll. She stated she wanted a "brown" doll because she thinks the skin looks prettier when its brown. I teach her that they call that African American doll or Black doll.. She argues with me and says that it's not black, its brown. lol My question is, I'm worried if Afr. Americans would take offense to my daughter saying "brown" ? For the record, she calls caucasians "pink" lol. Thanks for your responses! : )

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I wouldn't take offense with her saying brown at all. She's expressing what she physically sees and there's nothing wrong with being honest. She hasn't been jaded by the ignorance of people. It's a beautiful thing and I would embrace it. She sounds like a very special young lady. It's a shame that some adults can't see things with the eyes of a child.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I wouldn't take offense. I think it's cute.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I don't think its offensive but then again I don't think anyone can speak for their whole race.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

That's cute! At least she appreciates %26amp; admires us %26amp; our skin color.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

No We are beautiful shades of brown from the lightest hue of dust to the darkest hue of the ground. We are God's children. For the record, I am not an hyphenated American. I am Black and proud to be.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

Children speak the truth, isn't it a shame we h ave to teach them that that is not always 'acceptable'!!?

I have a Question for African Americans........?

that is so adorable. leave her with her vocab, she can teach us all a lesson

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I'm white, but I answered so I could give all previous posters a thumbs up. I think it's cute also.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

KIDS :)

Leave her alone...atleast she's not hating. My son says he's brown too, because he know what black looks like and can't comprehend its a loose description not gospil to your skin tone.

Hell, pleny black adults say "I'm not black, I'm brown". They need to be kicked...I mean, talk about splitting a hair.

ps. You aren't having her call herself "caucasian" are you. Its positively clinical...like refering to people as homosapiens all the time.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I wouldnt take any offense if that came from a young girl. I have light brown skin, but I am of the Black/African race. Black people come in different shades and colours.

She does sound cute, and obviously you are bringing her up the right way... not to see colour when dealing with people. Kudos to you for that.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

Brown is fine.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

That is really cute, and no... I don't think there would be anyone who could find that offensive.

I think your daughter just has no idea about race at this point and only sees the differences in skin tone. Too bad we all can't be that way.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I don't take offense to It.She does have her colors right. I've never seen a person that was as Black as a blackboard or as white as chalk. Since she accepts that people are different colors and is not hateful toward them, It's okay with me.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

nah, that would just be absurd. The only problem I forsee is the "brown" kids probably call themselves Black. As long as she doesn't start arguing about it, she will be fine.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

I don't think anyone in their right mind would take offense.I'm from the UK (England) so i can not speak as an African American but as a black man from the UK she would not offend me .The good thing about kids is that they tell it like it is and that's beautiful .I'll raise a glass to you and may your daughter always be so enlighten.

I have a Question for African Americans........?

Nope, awww, that's cute. Yes, I'm okay with being "brown".

I have a Question for African Americans........?

yeah, I think it's cute as well, at least we know your daughter knows her colors very well :)

Is it possible to grow my hair from my shoulders to my back in 6 months? Please give me tips Step by

I am African American %26amp; normally get Singles (Individual Braids) can I get a professional perm or is that going to slow down my hair growth, or is it better? Thanx for all Answers

Is it possible to grow my hair from my shoulders to my back in 6 months? Please give me tips Step by Step.?

Currently i have long hair and have been learning alot so...

i do not have a relaxer i stopped getting them 5 years ago ( and i've only have 3 relaxers in my life time so this is all natural) so can show you how to take care of hair with or without a relaxer. In order to have healthy hair while having a relaxer you need to concentrate on moisturizing the hair.

1. The shampoo, unfortunately many black women are using shampoos with alcohol and petroleum jelly. step away from them. Use Aveda's shampoo.. specifically the name is Brilliant...go to the website. I use it, i love it, it mouisterizes my hair and the products are natural. i have also heard that KeraCare's shampoo is good.

2. Okay, step two condition it and then it is time to comb it out, Do not use a brush on you hair when it is wet,,it will hate you for it then break off in revenge. Put your your sections use a big tooth comb, to untangle it

3. Do a hot oil treatment (before shampooing )atleast once or twicea month with extra virgin olive oil...repeat..EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil..not the regular stuff. unfortunately i have yet to take this step however my hair is doing great.

4. Okay on the daily basis you need to pay close attention to your hair...i recommend conditioning your scalp(3-4 times a week) and your ends(everyday) so that they will not get dry and unhealthy Petroleum jellly and mineral oil are weapons of mass destruction ( in other words do not use grease) it does so much harm to your hair it cannot be all explained here. So you ask what do I use...well natural oils grapeseed oil ( use it for hair it deflects heat so it is good for flat iron users like us)

jojoba oil(i use this for my scalp), extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, emu oil, coconut oil...all these natural oils and more love you..i promise.I also use Aveda's Brilliant ( the name of the brand) emollient for my ends.

5. Next,,if you want your hair straight but still be natural it is time to get a freakin good flat iron.,i have the Chi..it does the job but I recommend getting the Sedu because of the good reviews. make sure to protect your hair..i have so thermal protector from Aveda. When flat ironing your hair do not let the iron stay on your hair for too long, just 1-2 quick swipes.

6. If you have a relaxer ( i have heard that Mizani and Affirm are the best relaxers) don't continue to relaxer all your hair everytime you go to the salon..just the new growth and try to stretch relaxers as long as possible.

7. You do not need to trim your hair everytime you go to the salon maybe every 3 to 6 months.

8. Wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf to prevent damage before you go to bed.

9. Eat healthy, drink lots of water,

10 take multivitamins, and fish oil pills you can get from GNC.

Follow these steps and life will be good..the best part about flat ironing (which i do once a week or every two weeks not everday since it will kill your hair) is that it is not stringy but thick and healthy, yet straight and light enough to blow in the wind. (Also i read that you braid your hair so make sure that the braids are not too tight, this causes hair breakage and can prevent hair growth)

Is it possible to grow my hair from my shoulders to my back in 6 months? Please give me tips Step by Step.?

No perms. It is best to keep your hair braided for the fastest growth. The less you are messing around with your hair trying to brush it etc. the faster it will grow.

My beautician said the easiest way to grow hair a bit faster is to take over the counter prenatal vitamins. Even tho ur not preg., she said this is the way she would recommend. :-)

An easy way to grow hair fast is to take pre-natal vitamins, I know it sounds strange but I have 5 kids and every time my wife was pregnant she took pre natal vitamins and her hair grew almost twice as fast as usual. They can't hurt you as your body needs it anyway just don't over do it and you should be fine.
