Hair Braiding shop in Arlington Texas

[ddawnee]

ok so spoilers perhaps

after being rescued from earth-42 miles actually CANNOT stop thinkin abt himself with cornrows or any braided hairstyle like, ever. it takes up his mind sm and he wants to get them done but

1. he’s tenderheaded

2. he cant braid

so whenever he remembers that his mood dampens. hobie notices and asks him whats wrong

miles is like “nun.. i just want some braids fr”

hobie is like “oh cool. why dont u get them done?” and miles explains why.

sure, he can get them done at the african hair shop but he wants to save himself the embarrassment that’ll come the moment his head starts to hurt.

so hobie offers to help him! it look raw asl when done and miles is barely containing his happiness. he’s jumpin up and down as he’s lookin in the mirror (stim moment) and is just repeatedly sayin how cool he looks.

hobie is just very in love and fondly staring at miles and GOD DAMNIT

[brattylikestoeat]

A uniquely black topic I’ve been following this week: African braiding shops.

This lady on twitter said she went to the Africans to get her hair braided. To me, that’s not a problem. African braiding shops don’t normally have names. We’ve always called them African braiding shops.

So tell me why the Africans on twitter were upset.

It’s like the Chinese spot in the hood, a lot of times they don’t have names. Or it’s called china #5 or something.

This is uniquely an African American thing.

Also I don’t know my braider by name. I’ve always called her auntie because she asked to be addressed as such.

And it leaves out the fact that the women who braid hair market themselves this way. Before IG stylist were a thing, we went to the Africans. They braid faster, with neater parts and if you in the right shop they’ll have 4 women on yo head and you done in 4hrs as opposed to 6-8 hours.

Questions to ask myself:

What do I want to have achieved by the end of the summer?

Let's see.... A lot of money invested into my filmmaking equipment to make several horror films and stories before the world ends; a lot of photoshoots, and I'm talking pin-up, 1950's inspired photoshoots, horror inspired shoots... Getting back into modeling entirely. Specifically with a great expensive photographer, ideally the one I worked with on that music cover album a while back.

Not to mention successfully making connections for a good online talk show, modeling, making short films with other actors and actresses, and overall going to galas and fun luxury events!

I want ideally 8 beautiful high quality portraits done of myself that are unique and awe-inspiring that I have to show off to my future generations to come, a few solid flings that set me up for life, and some amazing connections indeed!

And a lot of completed scripts that are in my hands AND grant me all the benefits I desire! And a few reels, acting AND producing and directing all under my belt!

What gifts do I want this summer?

Tennis necklace. Tennis bracelet. Sapphire earrings. Emerald ring and matching earrings. Frankly, a nice collection of any sort of expensive gemstones I like, any time, always.

An expensive and exquisite car, specifically a low rider car, but that's if I am also taught to drive! Specifically one that looks like a sexier version of a 1950's convertible.

An entire film set and studio in my name, in the exact image and ideal way. Plenty of expensive film cameras, high end microphones, lighting and more, and money to invest in all the films I want to produce for myself and have my portfolio jumpstarted.

Not to mention any subscriptions to things like Costco, any high end vitamins and food programs, DoorDash, and a consistent natural hairstylist who knows how to handle african 4c hair. I want luscious hair regardless of the texture, long and healthy!

Well paid, fridge full, having a grand ol' time with each other. Even a personal credit card, to buy as many things for myself in life as I would desire!

I have a music video concept? Consider the photographers and videographers met with and the outfits bought. I have a song? Consider the producers and mixers met with and scheduled into my system. i want to learn to sing or play piano? Here's my instructor, world reknown, and autistic, so he will be patient with me.

I want to know how it feels to have an exquisite shopping experience with a glass of champagne for free, and a nice shiny ring on my hand that I bought at a store and can 1000% enjoy for life.

And if I really wanted to go insane if I had the money.... Rare items. Rare unique jewelry. Crossbred flowers and succulents, and crossbred fruit trees. Show me you love me, make an apple and mango crossbreed that I can have for years and enjoy sustenance off of.

Any social scenes I wish to join, and what for?

Filmmaking networking scenes. I am meeting celebrities and having a fun time as a socialite who is praised for her intellect and wisdom around the film industry. Who can mentor and teach me things. I collaborate with them, and have a fantastic time bonding with them and enhancing scripts even more.

Also collaborating with high profile musicians, who also help me and my friends produce music together and get more well connected in the industry. Event makers, to actually make my city a lot more together, and throw events that raise money for the local schools and the underground art scene to help people flourish. Also befriending other luxury young women with girlfriends could be very nice! The goal getters, the high achievers, the ones who strive for the most out of life, always!

Always!

How would I look with the dates I have?

Vivaciously sexy; either long beautiful braids, or a nice Pamela Anderson style wig. Think of Megan thee Stallion's current wig for her tour, for context. But if I wanna spice it up, a colored white or pink wig if I meet a man in the wild who wants to strike up conversation could be fun. There's always someone looking for a dream girl.

I would go for a siren look. Yet, clean girl. Clear beautiful healthy shiny skin, that's borderline reflective as a Hajime Sorayama painting, and full colorful yet natural glossy tinter lips, with eye catching eyes. An amazing pin-up figure that makes jaws drop, but enough to cover it and look effortlessly good. Loose enough to show I'm a lady, but tight enough to show I'm a woman.

Not trying to seem overly conservative or classy, but not trying to make people think I'm an escort. The perfect fashion balance of someone with money and confidence who walks into any room, in any outfit, and looks exquisite either way.

All of this is claimed to be mine this summer, and so it shall be.

It is all mine, always and forever, god bless and amen.

Jaja's African Hair Braiding

Written by Jocelyn Bioh

Dir. Whitney White

Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, 2023

This dazzling world premiere welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling hair braiding shop in Harlem where every day, a lively and eclectic group of West African immigrant hair braiders are creating masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. During one sweltering summer day, love will blossom, dreams will flourish and secrets will be revealed. The uncertainty of their circumstances simmers below the surface of their lives and when it boils over, it forces this tight-knit community to confront what it means to be an outsider on the edge of the place they call home.

you should all go see jajas african hair braiding. like it genuinely felt like you were apart of the shop

[failedmessiah]

I still remember the day I went to the uniform makers shop. I was going to St Declan’s, a catholic school in Ashbourne, Ireland, a bit out of Dublin.

My hair was freshly done, it was my mother’s first time doing braids. She had taken me to the hair salon near town, run by an African woman, Ghanaian or Togolese I don’t remember.

African women pull hair tight when the braid it, as if they’re afraid the hair will spring out of the plaits and run away.

They applied a cream to my scalp that burned and itched. They finished braiding my hair and my mother took me home, with me scratching my head.

I couldn’t sleep that night. My scalp was so dry, and the hair was so tight, and no itching could soothe it, and I started to cry.

My mother came to my room. She tried to calm the itch by scratching for me, using a rattails comb to get under the braids that were tight, like a freshly spun rope.

We resorted to cutting the braids, relieving my itch.

My mother had never braided hair, but she decided to learn that night, in the few hours I had before my first day of junior infants.

The next morning I went to school with thick poorly twisted hair. My mother was still very frustrated with how my hair had turned out, partially blaming me for the issue the night before.

At some point I got tired of having my hair done by my mother. She eventually learned how to do a variety of braids and twists and protective styles, which caused my thick hair to grow long and healthy. It growing long made doing my hair take more time, and my mother, ever frustrated, would be upset at the knots and snarls in my curls.

The first time I braided my own hair, they were a smaller version of the braids my mother had done for me all those years ago. They were slightly imperfect, but they held up, and wearing hair done by my own hands was a different feeling than I had done before.

When I went to Nigeria, I had my hair braided for the first time in a long time, by a Togolese woman who did my mother’s hair for her wedding.

In true African fashion, she pulled my hair tight into the coils, as if the hair would spring out. Like it would run away.

When the hair was done, it weighed heavy on my head and my scalp started to bleed.

I told my mother about my bleeding scalp. She gave me Tylenol and a cup of water. The bleeding subsided over a few days.

First ever fan fiction

So while I wait for my AO3 invite. I have started to write my first ever fan fiction. I'll post it here, and help me think of a story title!

Her body slammed against the counter and the air wheezed out of her lungs and mouth. “You demon!” Her abusive father, whose name was Kent grabbed her braid and pulled her to standing. “What did I tell you about this?” She clenched her jaw. her anger rising. She was covered in bruises, had a black eye and looked like she had been through the wringer. Instead of answering, she held her side. She guessed she had broken ribs but couldn’t be sure. All she knew was that she was adopted by this abusive asshole and today was the last straw for her. “I don’t fucking care what you told me! I’m eighteen, if I want to find my biological parents you can’t stop me, you abusive fucker!” Her “father” for all tense and purposes draw a knife and tackled her to the floor. “Now you listen to me, you ungrateful bitch!” And held the knife to her throat. Her jaw clamped down even tighter, her eyes went from their beautiful blue to yellow. They looked like a snakes, and if her father had better sense, he would have backed off. But no, he just laughed in her face, his hands shook, and the knife was making tiny cuts into her throat. After years of abuse, Ayla had finally had enough. Her anger flared to new heights. She started smoking, black plumes of smoke misted around her and when she could hold it no longer, it released. Thunder rolled and lightening sparked throughout the house. Ayla’s father’s eyes went wide with terror as he scrambled away from her. As he stood he got struck by lightening and slumped to the floor. “Serves you right, you abusive asshole!” She didn’t even check if Kent was alive or not. Instead she packed a couple changes of clothes and left the house forever. 

She walked as far as she could, which wasn’t very far but luckily for her she came upon a strip of business. There was a music shop, a seamstress shop, a coffee shop called “ Give me coffee or give me death.” Ayla smiled to herself. People going to and fro from the shops gave her a somewhat wide berth, which didn’t bother her any. But she needed to find a place to rest a while. Her legs were shaking from exhaustion, she swayed slightly and closed her eyes. She noticed by feel that she bumped into something. But couldn’t tell what.“Watch it!”a man exclaimed with a growl and glared at her through sunglasses. But as the gentleman took in her state his eyebrows rose. He grabbed her by the wrist and growled out “What the fuck happened!?” Ayla eyes snapped open, revealing the predator. The man’s grip tightened. “I don’t fucking know you, why should I tell you?” she growled back. Ayla grabbed the man by the wrist and he immediately dropped her wrist, it was like he was zapped by an invisible force. “What’s up with your eyes? Those contacts?” Ayla gave him a confused look. “Names Crowley, Anthony. Yours?” Ayla couldn’t explain it but she felt she could trust Crowley. “Ayla.” Crowley nodded at her slightly and pointed with his chin “You look starved. I don’t normally do this but whadda say I buy you a nibble and a drink.” For some un-explainable reason Crowley’s heart (for lack of a better term) went out to her. He gently led her through the door of the coffee shop and to a table. Ayla grabbed  the spoon from the silverware sitting, ready to be used, and looked at her face. Man, she was a sight. But she did notice what Crowley was talking about her eyes where a snake’s! “Those contacts?” Crowley asked and the only reply Ayla gave him was a slow shake of her head before she whispered “First time its happened actually.” Crowley frowned and pondered her answer, after a  few minutes later, a beautiful African American with box braids in her hair approached the table. “Crowley! What has it been? Twenty years?” He shrugged his shoulders. “Get you your regular 6 shots in a big cup?” he only nodded. As Nina took in the state of the woman occupying the table Nina looked from the woman to Crowley and back again. Instead of speaking her mind, like she normally did, she kept it internal. “For you miss?” Crowley watched as Ayla eyes slowly changed from the predators to a familiar blue. His almost gasped aloud but managed not to. Ayla looked at Nina and before she could stop herself she asked “Are you related to Mr. Fell?” Ayla’s face crunched in confusion “No?” she didn’t sound confident of that, but she quickly added “I mean, I have no idea. I was adopted.” Crowley stored this information away for later as Ayla then ordered a Croissant and an Iced Chai tea. Nina went and put the order in. It wasn’t long before she was back and placed the items on the table and left to tend to the other customers. She made a mental note to ask Crowley if he found out what happened to the woman. 

“So, what happened?” Crowley asked Ayla. Ayla’s jaw clenched and Crowley watched as one of her blue eyes went back to a snake’s. “My abussssssive assssssshole of a father” she hissed as she continued “Didn’t want me to find my biological parentssssss.” Crowley slowly nodded his head and he watched Ayla eat her croissant. He couldn’t help himself, it had been eighteen years since -. He stopped that thought in its tracks. No, no. He was not going to drudge up the past. Azriaphale made his choice.

Cultural Elegance: Exploring the History of African Hair Braiding

African hair braiding is more than just a hairstyle; it's a powerful cultural expression that spans centuries and continents. The intricate art of braiding hair holds deep significance within African communities, serving as a form of communication, artistry, and tradition. This article delves into the rich history of African hair braiding, highlighting its cultural significance and evolution over time.

A Link to the Past: African hair braiding has its roots deeply embedded in the continent's history. From the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Nubia to the various ethnic groups scattered across the vast African landscape, braiding has been a way to signify one's age, social status, marital status, religion, and even tribe. In ancient Egypt, for instance, hieroglyphics depict individuals with elaborate braided hairstyles, emphasizing their societal roles and cultural affiliations.

Cultural Symbolism: Hair braiding in Africa isn't merely an aesthetic choice; it's a form of cultural storytelling. Different braiding styles often carry specific meanings that are understood within the community. For instance, some braids indicate the passage from childhood to adulthood, while others denote mourning or celebrations. The intricate patterns and techniques used in braiding can also represent a person's connection to nature, ancestors, and the divine.

The Transatlantic Journey: During the transatlantic slave trade, African traditions, including hair braiding, were forcibly transported to various parts of the Americas. Despite the hardships, enslaved African people managed to preserve and adapt their cultural practices, including hair braiding, as a means of asserting their identity and resilience. Braiding became a way to maintain a sense of community, heritage, and individuality in the face of adversity.

Modern Resurgence: In recent decades, there has been a resurgence of interest in African hair braiding. The appreciation for its intricate beauty, cultural significance, and historical importance has led to a global fascination with different braiding styles. Celebrities, fashion icons, and individuals of all backgrounds have embraced these styles, often showcasing them on red carpets, runways, and social media.

Challenges and Triumphs: While the popularity of African hair braiding has grown, there have also been challenges. In some Western societies, these styles have faced discrimination and bias, with people being told that their natural hair or braided styles are "unprofessional." However, activists and advocates have been fighting for legislative changes to protect individuals' right to wear their hair in its natural state or in traditional braids.

Preserving Cultural Heritage: African hair braiding is not just a trend; it's an essential part of cultural heritage. Efforts are being made to ensure that this art form is respected and understood in its proper context. This includes educating people about the history and significance of braiding and supporting African communities in maintaining and passing down this tradition to younger generations.

Conclusion: African hair braiding stands as a testament to the enduring power of culture and human expression. From its ancient origins to its modern resurgence, braiding has transcended time and space, carrying with it stories of identity, resistance, and artistry. By exploring the history of African hair braiding, we gain a deeper appreciation for the cultural elegance that continues to shape the world of beauty and self-expression today.
