    saw a girl with an afro that was easily 8-10x bigger than her head.

    im trying to be like her, my afro has gotten so big I cant be a passenger in the car with it because it blocks my partners veiw of the side window angery also im tall so if theres a crowd/concert, white women will like come up and harass me till I move to the back (i refuse to move its my most anti social trait). now a days when my hair is not in cornrows its in twist, or gelled to hell, or in a scrunchie. i am thinking about getting braids again because i want auburn hair or red and I really dont want to damage my hair with dye. lol what a ramble.

      l m a o that's such a wonderful mental image, though i'm sure it's probably a pain in the ass when it happens. i only started growing my hair out at the start of the pandemic for transition reasons and it's already proven to be an immense amount of work and consideration, i can only imagine what it's like trying to reach such soaring heights tbh. though i guess i have no idea how hard it is to take care of black hair at any length, thinking about it

      white women will like come up and harass me

      till I move to the back

      no actually i don't wanna do a bit about this, just yeugh. may your hair double in size every time someone complains. also i feel your dye struggle, i keep having the same debate with myself like once a week at least. fun colors are super cute buuuuuut i feel like long hair is so demanding on its own and it already has so much potential to display damage that i keep landing on "naw"

      how's that for a ramble?
