so, i hit 1k sometime in the beginning of June ✨🥳. Which means my incessant yapping about absolutely nothing on every post I make and multiple months-long unannounced hiatuses didn't scare all of you off yet, so thanks for that y'all.

No, but for real tho, I genuinely want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for putting up with me and all my BS, so my 1k+ gift exclusively consists of hairs requested by YOU!  Which is totally about giving back to the community that has supported me and NOT just an excuse to dump all the requests that have been sitting here piling up for months.

there are only 7 hairs in the preview image but a bunch of these are from sets, so all-in-all you're getting 17 female hairs!

INFORMATION:

None of this is my original work! All mesh credit goes to @sheabuttyr, @ebonixsims, @daylifesims, @simstrouble!

Set contains 17 hairs for for Teen ➤ Elder Females

due to how the meshes where made the Poloma Passion Twists and Monae Beads don't have root/tip controls so they’re only 2 channels the rest are 4 like normal.

credits, preview pictures, links to originals, poly counts and individual download links for every hair is under the cut.

polycounts are ALL over the place. Lowest hair is +10k, Highest one is +32k. Please reference the list under the cut before downloading!

Files comes in two flavors: Merged and Unmerged

Both types contain the exact same type of stuff (package file and preview images) except version one is one big merged file and the version has individual files.

Not to be that guy but doesn't wars and wind sisters have short hair? At least waaaayyyyy shorter than wild? Linkle and Aryl's hair doesn't go much down than the shoulders...

If we looking for people with experience in long hair, maybe Sky if he helps hiz Zelda or Time if he helps Malon... idk, a thought I had, maybe the sibilingness develops ability to comb all hairs?

I'm an oldest sister of 4 lol trust me you learn to comb every type of hair

Short hair gets tangled just as much, plus just because the girls have short hair now doesn't mean they always had?

I used to have long hair past my boobs and now my hair is super short like above my shoulders

Like my little sister had long ass hair as a kid until my mom got fed up with brushing it every day since she was a nightmare to deal with so when she was like 7 she cut it short (she was still a nightmare lmao)

Who says aryll didn't have long hair until grandma went "OK no, short hair now" cause I can def see her getting it tangled everywhere

Anyway, it doesn't matter, the thing that matters is that wind and wars know their stuff

[comparison-anxiety]

please, this is a genuine question

so I’m white, but I’ve wanted braids for a long time, for a few reasons:

a. I have intense depressive periods and executive dysfunction that leads to massive tangles and matting, and I’ve almost had to have all my hair cut off a few times, and I think braids would be easier to maintain

b. I’m autistic (also hence depression and executive dysfunction), and the feeling of my loose hair is a huge sensory trigger for me and I feel that braids would alleviate that a bit

c. I’ve always loved the look of braids and everything and I genuinely appreciate the art form that is braiding

so I’m asking y’all, would it be okay to get braids? This is a real, genuine question and I really want an answer.

like I know they developed in lots of places, black and non-black, simultaneously but I have intense permissions trauma and need someone to tell me I won’t be bad for getting this hairstyle

I hope this comes off the right way, I wanna be as respectful as possible.

dni if you are going to call me racist, or anything like that, I just wanna learn

It’s just too much for me to handle honestly, our clothing, our hairstyles, our language, our features, our food, our music. All of it. All of it is seen as ghetto low-down trash unless it is used or rebranded by a white person. It only takes one white person to colonize what we have and turn it into something digestible for other white people enjoy. As soon as a white person gives the green light on it THEN it’s okay for a white society to indulge in it.

Me: I should probably clean my room, unpack, find my laptop and finish the work tasks that were due yesterday

Also me: I think I'm going to hot glue flowers, vines, and ribbons to a basket instead :)

Why are box braids so damn hard to do it yourself. I have a renewed and greater respect for my DIY people 💙

I am Going to hack all my hair off

[uneorange]

Things I’m missing about you today:

- when you would sing while cleaning the house

- the sound your bracelets made on the kitchen table when you would help me with my homework

- the way you would pet your goldfish on the head with one finger when he swam to the top of the tank to greet you

- your lipstick smudged on my cheek when you gave me a kiss to annoy me (I was never, ever annoyed)

- sitting between your legs while you braided my hair

- watching you paint your nails

- the way you knew which ultraman episodes would have the theme song in English and which would be in Japanese

- sitting next to you on the couch and watching inuyasha in the dark

- the fact that you let me be the weirdest version of myself that I could be and the only thing you ever said about it was “which character is your boyfriend in this show?”

- the smell of your perfume

- your very sparse grey hairs

- when you’d make up some arbitrary monetary value for every basic task (using your bathroom cost $5 dollars. I say this to my students, too. It makes them laugh like it made me laugh)

- when you would become a vampire and bite me on the cheek, not enough to hurt. Just enough to make me laugh and tell you to go away

- your collection of little trinkets. So many little glass trinkets

- so so so many episodes of gunsmoke and bonanza

- when you’d tell me no, I couldn’t keep a blue crab for a pet. Put it in the pot.

- the way you always tucked my blankets in way too tight

- unlacing your shoes for you because you swore you just couldn’t reach

- dancing in the living room with you

- you, before you weren’t you anymore

Braids for men, historically, have held significant cultural symbolism across various civilizations, signifying strength, unity and heritage. From the elaborate Viking braids for men representing courage and velour in battle to the intricate cornrow braids for men worn by African Warriors, the art of hair braiding for men goes beyond time and geography, weaving tales of resilience and identity.
