summer edition
if you want to be added to the skype group we'll have a skype you can add that will add you.
So if you want to join the /black/ skype group, go ahead and join this group:
https://join.skype.com/LuJxXKifDcLc
from there, you can pm one of the mods a timestamped selfie, and if you are black you will be added to the group.
the chat topics are aesthetics in general; hair and fashion are the primary topics, but other things are discusses as well; aesthetics are a bit of a finite subject matter
I have this type of afro with not really curls but with a "hook" type of curls at the end. What fits me, and how do i take care?
>>11436564
Dude in the middle's hairline is so fucked up
I want to get this hair cut once my hair is long enough. Educate me on having dreads because I live in a white country and know jack about that sort of stuff.
How do I maintain them? Can I even wash them or do I have to remake them every week?
>>11436432
God tier.
>>11436408
African-American hair or black as in the color of hair?
Does anyone else's barber keep fucking their hair up? Whenever I go to my dad's area the newish guy starts, it stars to look good and then he just ends up fucking it up real bad

>>11436564
>tfw have natural hairline of nigga in the middle
>>11439089
what are these kind of braids called? were can i go to get my shit braided like this?
>>11440481
If your going freeform just let your hair grow and never touch it and it should eventually turn to dreads. if your gonna have them twisted into dreads you should start with your hair at a decent length before getting it twisted. maybe grow it out for a year first but it depends on how fast your hair grows
>>11440491
>what are these kind of braids called?
box braids
>>11440491

Is that your natural hair texture ? I'm jealous. Where are you from ?
>>11440515
>tfw ywn have this hair

>>11440706
>Is that your natural hair texture
ye, i don't do anything to my hair besides moisturize/condition it,braiding,bantu knots, etc. I don't use any chemical texturizers,perms,heat,etc. All that stuff is really damaging.

This is too much for me
>>11440556
Do you post on ktts WAYWT often?
>>11442027
never, i don't browse ktt.
i know this isn't really related to hair. but i was wondering what styles of clothing do you guys wear?
>>11443228
Basics basically, to be basic senpai.
But I'm too old to wear crazy high fashion shit now.
Earth tone/heather t-shirts. Blue, white, and grey button ups with dark color ties for work. A couple breatheable oxfords, and I always have an eye out for some nice loafers for casual wear.
>>11444341
>>11440780
What's your moisturizing routine like? I've been texturizing every 6 months for the past two years or so but want to make the switch to being 100% natural
My curl pattern just isn't very nice at all on it's own. What conditioners and oils would you recommend? Do you sleep with a silk cap on?
Obsessing over loose curls and investing in texturizers is so fucking lame to me.
>>11436541
what if you have a black gf and just want to ask questions about hair that might offend her?
>>11443366
aw that's cool. seems like there are few black people on here so it's interesting to know how you guys dress when you actually post.
>>11436541

Get with the times, gramps.
I have blackish hair. Not quite as coarse but still in that realm. Any suggestions an a new style. I'm getting tired of this one but I need some inspo
>>11436408
>those fucking for head wrinkles
It's happening to me at an alarming rate
Can anyone offer up any advice so I don't look like Greg oden
>>11436526
is this listed from best to worst? meaning 1 works the best? i have the nuetrogena triple moisture, aussie 5 minute and the loreal total repair 5 and have used all 3 at least once and all it did is make the outside of my hair seem smooth and softish but i feel like it didnt do anything for the inside of my hair. it feels like it just coats the outside of the hair in a plasticly siliocone feel but doesnt hydrate from the inside. do i have to keep using to see more results or is that as good as it gets. is there anything you guys recommend that hydrates from the inside out and gives me soft hair
What hair cut should i get? the sides are longer than the top and really my hair is not detangled ever, really fucking hard to manage, or should i try for dreads or something?
>halp
>>11444780
stop raising your eyebrows and moisturise constantly
its that simple
i tried to adjust the photo so that my curl pattern would be somewhat visible, but i was obviously unsuccessful
pic related is a braid out iirc
i'm probably going to cut my hair short though
>>11444536
ask those questions here
>>11444455
you just want a leave in conditioner and/or daily moisturizer mainly
brands to check out:
>cantu
>shea moisture
>ORS
personally, i love
http://www.sheamoisture.com/Jamaican-Black-Castor-Oil-Strengthen-Grow-Restore-Leave-In-Conditioner_p_1331.html
>>11444775
>I have blackish hair.
are you of african descent, or not.
>>11444812
no it's just a list.
to properly hydrate, your hair should be wet, really, then you "seal" in the moisture with an oil
I personally prefer to use only product intended for natural nail, but thats just me.
>>11444455
>What's your moisturizing routine like?
I've been pretty lax/lazy lately but this is what I usually do about once a week. If i plan on going out during the week then i usually go through the whole routine again like the night before so my hair is "fresher"/less tangled.
-completely drench hair in the shower
-detangle with fingers
-add a bit of conditioner to help with detangling
-rinse hair
-put conditioner all throughout
-get out of shower
-section hair then either braid or put in bantu knots. doing this helps my hair be less frizzy when it dries compared to air-drying.
-let dry
throughout the rest of the week i put my hair into 3 bantu knots at night(takes about 3 minutes) or a bun and wear a du rag to sleep. then in the morning i take my hair out and put a little coconut oil in my hair then just style it a bit and wear it out.
>What conditioners and oils would you recommend?
I just started using this cheap cocoa butter lotion from Walmart in my hair. It surprisingly works well in my hair and makes it soft and defined. Also its only like 3 bucks for a huge tube of it. the brand is queen helene. shea moisture curl and style milk is good too
You'll have to try different products though and see what works well in your hair as what works for me might not work for you. I use coconut oil but you can also use olive oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, Jamaican black castor oil, etc.
>Do you sleep with a silk cap on?
I just wear a du rag. It keeps my hair from getting tangled during the night.
>>11444989
I'm confused, how do I verify that I am black?
>>11444813
It appears you're going for the pirate look, so I would recommend getting dreadlocks like pic related.
>>11445035
DNA tests.
>>11445037
Then where do I spit?

How to achieve curls?
Should I get this?
>>11445115
goes too far back imo looks like the kid had brain surgery or something. a small slash would look better though I wouldn't get it personally.
>pic related the red line is prolly the max you should go back
>>11445035
do you have black parents?

>>11444989
ugly as fuck
>>11446029
oh
well thats still africa, although if you're a modern egyptian, you're probably more arab, but hey w/e
i thought you were latino (specifically mexican) based on the pic
idk what you hair is like when long, but i would figureout your hair type
http://www.naturallycurly.com/texture-typing
try that quiz
idk just look at inspo, but your hair looks pretty straight, so...idk
if you want a new style, i'd start growing it and go from there
>>11446050
oh wait im not the same guy who showed the picture
Hey, anyone here who doesn't conditioner their hair or just use oils to seal in moisture?
I feel like mine looks fine when it's shampooed, but frizzes once I condition it. Then again, I've never had the courage to actually skip it
>>11446050
>well thats still africa
WE
>>11446080
oh
>>11446104
when do you condition?
just using oils doesn't give me the look i want, and thats my sole reasoning.
>>11446128
but i got an afro do i pass?
>>11446161
idk, post a pic
are you trying to be added to the skype group or something?
bc if so just send the pic to the skype group
>>11444813
harrison??
>>11444813
1)
fucking condition and detangle
2)get a trim
3) you could try>>11442897
>>11440518
>>11440515
i'd probably get a fade
>>11446468
how do i ask for a trim really? should i go to a barber shop or a salon. i dont want them to just take some fucking clippers to trim my shit
>>11446672
hmm
in that case, browse inspo, and find a photo of something you like; then take the pic to a salon
>>11446110
wuz?
>>11436498
looks like ramen
This is what the back looks like. >>11445115
So should I go ahead and get it?
>>11446884
no looks like a brain surgery scar
>>11446884
i think it looks cute, i'd do it, but maybe just take the part only to the crown of your head
>>11444989
Is this mainly a black chick hair thing? cause im a dude
>>11437766
>keep fucking their hair up?
>keep
after 2+ times I'd find a new barber bro
>Whenever I go to my dad's area the newish guy starts
Go at a different time, dont use the newish guy. really simple solutions
>>11446884
>>11445115
not unless you carry around the destroyed helmet you were wearing that blocked whatever did that to ur hair
>>11440235
the nigga has literally admitted to getting his hair done every day
i'm certain he's the secret gay pl player the newspapers keep talking about
>>11441845
Is that Yaya Sanogo
>>11447235
I was unaware that your hair depended on your gender.
Sarcasm aside, hair is hair, familia. If it works for the chick, it works for the dude.
what should i use to deep condition my hair
>>11449037
>>11439163
kill you're'self uppity hoe
>>11447382
That actually doesn't look bad at all compared to the first pic, I thought about cutting my hair to something like this.
Any similar pics?
Hair on the crown of my head grows slower than hair elsewhere.
Is this common? Anything I can do to stimulate growth in that region?
>>11445869
theres more, we're just not a bunch of /soc/ fags that post in a face thread on a fashion board
>>11436408
Hey peeps, why's it that my hair doesn't stay relaxed for as long as it used to? After a week my hair only becomes/looks relaxed after putting some water on it. Have I damaged my hair? It's dry and breaks quite a lot, what do you guys use to maintain the moisture and the relaxed look after relaxing/texturizing your hair?
>>11436408
Can u pls not start a summer anything with my pic? kek :^)
>>11444815
This helps
>>11450732
no :^D
>>11449704
It's effectively the high fashion of hairstyles. People don't actually have that as their everyday hairstyle.
>>11436432
who IS this
>>11437766
gotta learn to cut your own hair or find a barber that comes to you cuz they take their shit so seriously.
>>11440486
there is legit nothing wrong w his hairline never let niggas try to bring you down w that nonsense.
>>11445122
look up juice cut. lol.
>>11450698
ive never used relaxer but try coconut oil
>>11436408
Buzz
>>11440552
adorable, dat hair
>>11450698
Relaxed hair looks good zero out of ten times on black guys. Cut your damaged, chemically-raped hair off and learn how to manage your real hair texture. It'll pay off and you won't look like the poor man's Danny Brown.
>>11450354

>>11439163
I both love and appreciate you, Chatter. Pls post more cute black girls. A lot of us lurk but don't post because, well, you saw the reaction you got, so... But yeah, don't stop posting. I love your stuff. And I went to pick up some of that edge creme today from >>11436424. You're doing God's work.
>>11450354
Also interested in this
>>11453876
omg, wow ty so much i really appreciate that ;-------;
you should join the skype group bc its fun, but its a major sausage fest and it kinda sucks
tell me how that cream works for you!
i STILL can't find anything that will make my edges last all day long but eh, i've accepted the frizz, lol

Jesus. Why would any of you still use that? Are you all retarded?
3c/4a reporting in.
never managed a successful wash and go, but i recently bought some eco styler gel. shit's so hard to spread through my hair- any tips?
hair is titty length (almost waist length)
>>11454173
>titty length
Really?
Couldn't just say chest length and maintain neutrality?
You just HAD to let everyone here know that you're a girl, right?
Suppose you just COULDN'T pass up an opportunity to wave that precious, pristine fucking vagina in front of a bunch of sexually frustrated virgins who've never even kissed a girl before, RIGHT?
Well you know what? Fuck you. Fuck you, your shitty, titty length 3c/4a hair, and everything else about you.
FUCK YOU.
>>11454138
>are you all retarded
This is a given. They actually want to connect with the people here outside of 4chan.

To be fair, /fa/ users probably rank among the most normal on this board.
>>11454230
*the most normal of any board.
>>11439163
You are a completely worthless poster. Drop trip and stop posting this thread with the same garbage inspo that NO ONE will use and 0 discussion.
>>11454204
well, the oft used term is "bra strap length" but that doesn't make any sense (better to say bra band i guess)
>>11440486
just get a fucking edge up???? swear niggas in these threads live with nothing but white people
>>11454246
No, it's not. Want to know how many times I've heard "bra strap length" or "bra band length" to describe hair?
Fucking zero. Not once.
Want to know how many times I've heard chest length to describe hair?
Several. More than I can count or remember.
>>11454230
More normal than /d/, sure. But there's /co/, /diy/, and a whole bunch of smaller slower boards who on average are likely to be more mentally sound than people who frequent this one regularly. All the "Is X /fa/" and face rate threads reek of pretty crazy insecurity.
>>11454256
if you've never heard "bra strap length" you're in the wrong thread
>>11454259
>if you've never heard my arbitrary descriptor you're in the wrong thread, regardless of whether or not you're black, and have long hair, and the OP pertains strictly to you
>all of this is true because I say so
The logic I'd expect from a dumb roastie.
>>11444775
your hair is pretty much identical to a typical mexican's hair, so its a lot more like white people hair.
>>11454113
I've been holding off Skype group until I get a more cohesive wardrobe desu. Don't wanna be the only unfashionable one there.
>>11454204
Wow way to broadcast your insecurities famalam.
>>11454256
I've heard it a multitude of times. I've never heard anyone use chest length in my entire life. Going by your logic, guess it never happens.

LOL
not everyone in there is super /fa/
and we talk about stuff other than fashion all the time, it's hair +fashion and aesthetics+ anything else
its pretty wild and fun, just join!
>>11454286
>way to broadcast your insecurities famalam
This isn't relevant. Caring about some anonymous image-board contributors knowing my insecurities is another set of problems altogether, so I suggest you work on that.
>I've heard it a multitude of times
>I've never heard anyone use chest length in my entire life
Seems doubtful, but I've no means to prove otherwise, so sure. Chest-length is still a natural, neutral alternative to "bra band/strap length," one that she should've used instead.
>oh, you're a fag. Sperging on /fa/ won't get you laid.
What purpose does this comment even serve?
>>11454298
>Don't you belong on /r9k/.
No. Perhaps once, but /r9k/ is nothing but racism, misogyny and cam-whoring for /soc/ rejects at this point.
>Skype
Stop using this shit. Unless you frequently video-chat, it's an inferior, bloated piece of shit software.
>>11454314
>it's an inferior, bloated piece of shit software
Hello /g/. You're right, though.
>>11454348
I'm not /g/ either. Skype is just obviously inferior, even in the most apparent and immediate aspects like its UI. It's not even a contest. The only thing it offers over its competitors is video chat and familiarity.
this is my hair (pls ignore facial expression older pic)
>>11454314
Chest-length is vague as fuck, as is evident from a google image search comparing the two terms
>>11454388
No, it's not. Chest-length, similar to the name, is simply hair that ends chest-level.
A google search yields ambiguous results because, as I fucking said, chest-length is vastly more popular, while bra-strap length is mere parlance.
Popularity aside though, it's still obvious what one means by chest-length hair.
been growing out my hair for about a year now.
Cut it once to kind get the model.
Does anyone have any tips on how to make your dreads grow bigger instead of longer.
Bigger as in volume. I feel like if they grow any longer they might start hanging because of the weight.
But I still need like a year of growing out my hair untill I'm at my goal cut
>>11454265
I've heard it lots of times actually.
>>11454772
How is that related to my post?
are you people actually black or just cucks?

>You can try 2 strand twists/bantu knots/braids and leave them overnight and take them out in the morning.
>Try drying your hair pulled back or in sections with elastic bands if its not long enough to pull back in one go. It'll be more stretched when it's dry.
>Whenever I condition my hair/take it out in the morning I shake my head around and that helps with volume but it might not work until your hair gets longer.

>and my comrades
see, that's the thing
your posts would've been permissible had they even the faintest bit of novelty and wit, but that's not the case
no one here is entertained by presenting the same dry humor that almost every other millennial has adopted and rendered us accustomed to
you're not being clever
you're not entertaining anyone but yourself
please stop

Have you even read any of the infographs/infopics?
Your what seems to be a lack of genuine interest in others, is what keeps segregation going. Instead of wondering Why, you seem to make assumptions.
What do you call this type of hair? An example would be like pic related and Op's pic

I'm just trolling chill out. I have fairly curly hair, so I find black hair care to be very useful to me.
