In reply to the discussion: ****AA Group**** Natural Kinky Curly Wavy Hair. [View all]Kind of Blue
(8,709 posts)15. The W'fro just touches the shoulder now
on the sides and back. I do lil black girl plaits every 3 days or so because of the tendency to just lock. I often keep the plaits in for weeks at a time because it grows best and fastest just leaving it alone. Cracks me up remembering the torture of my mom combing and braiding and being awfully tender-headed. And all these years later I'm doing it to myself.
The cop stops are in 2 different sections of a relatively quiet route to the new place. It's rare that I have to go back to the old place. But when I do the fro is pulled back tight or the plaits in. It's just not worth that kind of attention. Some of them just obviously see it as suspicous but that's just an excuse.

It's coupled between that, and it's just something I used to do before enlisting.
