HELL YEAH

Short Curly Hair❤️

Examples of Protective Hair Coverings

I had to scroll through unreasonable amounts of white people for this. Oh, Google.

Durag

Silk Bonnet

Silk Scarf

Loc Socks

Okay, I admit. I've been using loc sock and loc bonnet interchangeably bc I've worn both and I know what I mean, but I cannot do that anymore.

Different styles will require different night time protective care! If your Black character has a silk press, she may choose to wrap her hair in a scarf. If they've got long locs or braids, a long silk bonnet will be better. A teeny weeny afro? A short bonnet will suffice, or they might even go bare. These are far from the only methods! We have oodles of options on how we maintain specific styles. Black hair care requires effort! Research and pick one!

UA’s Ice Queen

————————

Summary: Y/N is known as the ice queen of UA, and not just for her quirk. She’s ice cold to any and everyone, with a few exceptions.

Characters: Tamaki Amajiki, black!fem!reader

Word count: 406

Warnings: none just fluff all around for Tamaki 💜🐙

Pairing: Tamaki Amajiki x black!fem!reader (established relationship)

Note: Y/N has a twa (Teeny Weeny Afro) in this piece.

Note 2: This piece for Tamaki is long overdue but I hope you all enjoy it!

Tag list/mutuals list: @olenoname @mysticpisces

————————————

Underneath a beach umbrella, Y/N sat, content to scroll on her phone mostly her feeds for Instagram and Pinterest. The weather was humid which made her hairstyle perfect for it. Lifting her eyes from the screen of her phone, just for a brief moment, she could see everyone playing in the water.

Even Tamaki.

She could easily pick him out of the crowd filled with women, men, children, and other students from UA who also came to the beach for a rest and relaxation day.

He was with Mirio and Nejire.

The three of them deserved a day like this. No stress. Just fun.

Ping! New message!

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜: I can feel you staring.

Y/N: Do you want me to look away?

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜: No!

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜 is typing…

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜: What I mean is, I like it when your attention is focused on me.

Y/N: Then I’ll make sure to give you all of my undivided attention later.

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜 is typing…

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜: Y/N-chan! It’s Nejire! I think you broke Tamaki!

Y/N: I’ll come down there and reboot him.

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜: And when you get down here, can you make some ice for us? Pleaseee?

Y/N was known as UA’s ice queen not just because of her natural cold disposition but also because the ice that formed when she used her quirk could last for hours because of how unique it was. Which was perfect for this humid weather where the sun could easily melt regular ice.

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜: Pretty please! Think of your kouhai! 🥺

Y/N might be cold but she was by no means heartless.

Y/N: Alright. Alright, I’m on my way.

💜🐙Tamaki🐙💜: Yay! 😃

Standing up and getting out from underneath the umbrella and stretching as she felt the warmth of the sun from above and the sand beneath her feet, Y/N began to make her way down the beach.

This really was a day of relaxation.

[our-transmasculine-experience]

i need help with figuring out how to get a haircut!!! my mom doesn't want me to cut my hair and her reason is that it will poof out and become harder to take care of (i have curly hair that does the shrinkage thing so it is kinda correct) except the haircut i want to get is basically just getting all of it off (i believe it's called twa or teeny weeny afro) so i can see how it will grow as time goes on and what length will be right for me

do any of you all who follow our transmasc experience have any ideas on how to convince my mom 😭 my hair goes all the way to my waist and i hate taking care of it so much because it takes hours out of my day and i don't even like it! whenever i see anyone with super short curly hair i get so jealous and sad and it needs to stop!

i’m gonna be honest with you. that’s probably not her real reason. i have argued for hours and hours with my mom over my hair. her original argument was that she didn’t want it to poof out but the more i disproved her arguments she eventually admitted that she just didn’t want me looking like a boy.

poke through her arguments. tell her exactly what you want. she will either give in or tell you the real reason she’s so hesitant. if you can, try getting your hair cut shorter but not THAT short to create a less drastic change. then, if you want, go shorter from there.

best of luck, dude!

//Josep has his cheekbones, Giovanni his mismatched eyes, the Twins have their crooked noses, Rashid his bald head, Abena's teeny weeny afro-

My favorite unique physical trait of Ruixiong's is his large/long earlobes. They are, sadly, seldom clearly visible due to his hair, though.

GOALS

[blackwell008]

This post basically describes half of my living, breathing life as a Black woman. It's not that you MUST plan every hairstyle. It's the alchemical magic of Black hair and the plethora of incredible styles we can do with our hair that makes planning for events fun and stressful all at the same fucking time. Also, weather is a factor as well; will it be sweltering hot that my twa (teeny weeny afro) will sizzle in the sun so bad that I'll look like I have a Sisko (the thong song) Ceaser cut? What if it's too windy outside and decide to wear this bomb lace front wig- do I have time to get it installed or should I Diy it with some Got2be freeze spray and hope for the best. But one thing I will say, 99.9% of Black women won't use Gorilla Glue on any part of our hair, scalp, edges, sideburns- they don't even sell Gorilla Glue at the beauty supply store. Don't even ask me how that girl thought a industrial strength adhesive used at construction sites called GORILLA GLUE was for Black women's hair. Side bar: Yes I know Gorilla Snot exists- I use it but it's not a 'Black hair product'. I've bought it at my local bodega, Target and Shoprite. A lot of different race of people use Gorilla Snot. Unfortunately, the only person in the entire fucking world who thought using Gorilla Glue as a hold for a slick side pony was a Black woman- I guess we have to make history however we can. 🤷🏾‍♀️

#Styling is just as, if not MORE important, than the cut. The #barber only gets you HALFWAY there if they don't style it afterwards. Remember this when you walk into the #barbershop with a photo of how you want your hair, and #barbers should also set #expectations with their clients.

I learned to do my OWN styling (including color changes) over the course of the almost 10 years I've been a #Natural, so I know what looks and works best for me. I palm coil my hair (look it up on YouTube) with #EcoStylerGel and water.

okay okay. Glory keeps the teeny weeny afro because I feel like it's necessary for her overall look. Hobie starts with his 60s 'do and but I'll probably have him switch to spider verse esque locs later. Mindy has relaxed hair. Randy gets twists and Miles whenever I get to his addition will have his comicverse fade; that would be in the late 2010s regardless

it's fun to be into comic book fashion and pick apart other people's costuming until I'm driving myself nuts over styling decisions in my own 'verse

Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?

Uncommon Questions for OCs and their creators:

Oh, I had to edit how they look MANY TIMES throughout the years.

The only one who retained the same physical appearance from Day 1 is Abena as a tall, voluptuous, dark-skinned booba lady with a teeny weeny afro, hypnotic smile, and big alluring eyes. The only change I think I did since her original design was define her jawline and cheekbones, and even then that was just me being a better artist and not just drawing her as a generic anime girl with toned in skin. I guess updating her outfit and changing how she covers her hair counts.

The men, on the other hand:

Josep was initially significantly young, leaner, and had a different hairstyle (rounded hairline with bangs and a ponytail). His face was also smoother. As my art improved, he'd eventually gain the sharp cheekbones, defined jaw, and unique eyes, as well as a bulkier physique to compliment his spooky theme. It's actually fairly recently (the past few years) his hair was most defined: slicked back with a few stray strands and a widow's peak hairline with trepanning scars on his skull. The braided queue slung over the shoulder like an anime mom's side plait is perhaps the most recent change (because I'm sick of trying to decide how his hair falls over his flipped cloak collar), as well as self-flagellation scars on his back because Catholicism, yo.

Rashid also had a major change. Like Josep, he was initially younger, almost identical to Amir but with the stereotypical genie look (so a shaved head with a ponytail, smaller beard, etc). That was why Rashid's original name was "Jinni"! Then later one he was made middle-aged and thoroughly bald, with a fuller beard and body hair everywhere, and a hooded cloak. Later still changed his physique to be "strong fat" to contrast the Adonises that fill up the Devil's Eye roster lmao (others also fattened up like Robert and Isaac). His hooded cloak is also changed to a general assymetrical cloak styled after Cassim from Aladdin and the Forty Thieves. Most of the recent changes onto Rashid nowadays is just defining and redefining how I draw his face and his beard. God, his beard is hard.

Ruixiong's physical design is mostly on just his hair and face. In one of his earliest drafts, Ruixiong was originally a very disabled beggar with a shitton of congenital deformities who was approached by the Master to be made abled and beautiful… only to have half of his face burned and an eye gouged out by Sing-Lung (hence the strap of cloth under his hair in some of his icons). But this is absolutely gross writing so VERY THANKFULLY it is dropped; however, Ruixiong was without a justification as to why he often covers half of his face with his hair for a long time until recently--he just has a birthmark on his face he thinks is hideous lmao. Which I eventually adjusted too--his attitude about that birthmark evolved to something he finds ugly but also prideful over, thus his reluctance to keep it covered dropped and his full face shown more often altogether. So the peek-a-boo bangs is just stylization nowadays.

Also, the top knot. Ruixiong previously didn't have the Ming-dynasty styled top-knot. That's also a recent change to his physical appearance. Ruixiong feels weird whenever I draw him without it now.

Phoebus and Guy are a special case, and I'm lumping them together as identical twins. Initially they WEREN'T twins: Phoebus was originally 23 and Guy 21 before I decided upon making them twins and moving them to 22. They also had different hairstyles; Guy was thoroughly white with weird stylized shapes while Phoebus had the symmetrical auburn Sephiroth bangs. Upon deciding to make them identical (barring Guy's white hair at the time), I altered Guy's hair to have Phoebus' shape and Phoebus' face to be just like Guy's (Phoebus' face was originally much more significantly "generic anime bishonen").

Originally the only way you could tell them apart, besides their personalities, was their color scheme--otherwise, left uncolored, you weren't supposed to be able to tell who is who at all. But this also changed over time. Guy nowadays has muscle, and he dresses more formally or "sexily", whereas Phoebus is a skinny twig and dresses like a lazy slob. There is also Phoebus with the birthmark on his elbow as the congenital trait that distinguishes him from Guy.

Special mention goes to Guy's hair, which has gone all over the place from full white to auburn to the current auburn with a single white streak. I am contemplating one more physical change to Guy, but I am still deciding if it's a good change or not first.

Giovanni's radical design changes is mostly on his hair. He had a really stupid looking ponytail with the Idiot Hair string plus sideburns and… all over the place. Later it became a slicked back wavy shoulder-length hair but still with the Idiot Hair strand sticking out on top of his head. Then that Idiot Hair relaxed and covered his right eye for a time as I changed the hair once again to have assyemtrical parted long bangs wherein his right eyebrow tends to be covered. Finally, that Idiot Hair was dropped altogether as I gave Giovanni his trademark sideburns instead, a decision I'm glad to have because I'm so sick of his cutesy face being so bland otherwise (the sideburns make him appear more masculine without changing his face).

Giovanni's heterochromia was entirely by accident--he was originally just blue eyed. But before I boarded the plane to go to the Philippines for college, I had an unfinished drawing of Josep smacking Gio on the head for stupids, and only one eye (blue) was colored. The other (green) was colored on the plane, but it was dark and I picked up the wrong Sharpie. When the lights brightened and I saw my mistake, I decided to keep it. And that is why Gio has two differently colored eyes!

The last major change to his physical design is probably a couple years ago, regarding the massive number of scars on his body due to self-harm during psychotic episodes in the cellar.
