Re: tenderheadedness

Sometimes is not really tenderhead, is PTSD speaking from my own experience.

Anyone other than myself weh comb my hair mi feel fi bawl

An when I was young, sometimes mi did juss haffie si di comb a come an mi stawt bawl

is the anticipation of the potential fi it hurt.....

all it takes is one rough smaddy, or cornrow/braids too tight an yu traumatized fi life

Sometimes mi positive dat if mi hairdresser was a woman him woulda tek di comb an lick mi inna mi head wid it. di whole time mi juss deh pan OOOWWWWWWW OUCH OOOOWWWWWW

dats why mi only goh salon 3 times a year

Re: tenderheadedness

ah wonda if the strong desire to have neat pickney hair come from slavery days where the children where called pickaninnies cause of the picky picky hair look?

mi just noh seh de child just bawl and mi feel it fi ar

and yes mi agree dat the bubble ting dem look tight and like it hurt dem scalp. wah wrong wid straight plaits, plenty of them and u can touch dem up and redo some of the plaits daily instead of a all day torture
