Another horror story might be about bad haircuts. A natural black girl went to a salon where the stylist didn't understand the unique texture of black hair. Instead of giving her a nice trim, the stylist cut her hair unevenly. Some parts were much shorter than others, and it took months for her hair to grow back to a somewhat presentable state. It was really embarrassing for her at school and social events.
Sure. There was a girl who tried a DIY hair dye at home. She thought it would be a great idea to change her hair color to a lighter shade. But the dye reacted badly with her natural black hair. Her hair turned a strange orange - brown color that was nothing like what she expected. It took multiple salon visits and a lot of money to try and fix it, but her hair was still damaged in the process.
One common horror story is dealing with hair breakage. Many natural black girls have experienced excessive breakage due to improper styling or using the wrong products. For example, using heat without proper heat protectant can lead to brittle hair that snaps easily.
A girl once used a new hair product that she thought would make her hair shiny. But instead, it caused a really bad allergic reaction. Her scalp became itchy, red, and swollen. Her hair also started to fall out in the areas where the product was applied. It was a nightmare as she had to deal with the discomfort and the loss of her precious hair.
Well, I used to have really short hair. But I decided to grow it long. It took years. I had to deal with a lot of tangles, especially during humid days. I also learned different ways to style it, like braids. And I found that natural oils are great for keeping it healthy.
One common one is hair dye disasters. People try to dye their natural hair at home and end up with a color that's completely different from what they expected, like orange instead of blonde.
One popular blonde hair style is the long, wavy beach blonde look. It gives a very carefree and glamorous vibe. You can achieve this by using a large - barreled curling iron and some texturizing spray.
One common style is the afro puff. It's when the hair is gathered at the top of the head into a large, rounded puff. Another is cornrows, which are narrow braids that are plaited close to the scalp in various patterns. Twist - outs are also popular. This is where the hair is twisted when wet and then left to dry and unravel for a defined, curly look.
One of the best styles in long hair permed stories is the root perm. This is especially good for long hair as it adds volume at the roots, making the hair look fuller overall. The curls start from the root and gradually get looser towards the ends, creating a very flattering look. Another nice style is the ombre permed long hair. You can have your hair permed and also add an ombre effect, like going from dark at the roots to a lighter color at the ends. This combines two trendy looks and can make your long hair really stand out.
Well, in my long natural hair story, the challenges were numerous. Firstly, the time it took to dry was a pain. After washing, it could take hours. Also, styling was not easy. Simple updos required a lot of practice. And keeping it tangle - free was a constant battle. I had to be very careful with the type of pillowcase I used too, as rough ones could cause knots.
