Oh and I don't care that you answered publicly. If I was worried about that, I would have clicked anon. Have a nice life.
If you didn't care about public answering, you would reblog the post and make your views public. You know there's a notification system when someone reblogs a post. I could easily reply that way. But alas. you decide to wimp out and inbox me.
I said it was not about looking cute. Do you have African American hair? People who do, who are also in the military have expressed concern over this. It's not about fashion, it's the way our hair grows. If it's really about uniformity, then make all women get a buzz cut. Other than that, these new additions to regulations are making it nearly impossible for Black women to maintain their hair properly. Once again, once you start growing an afro, you can start talking about all the other styles.
Did I say it WAS about looking cute? That’s the second time you’ve brought that unrelated point into the conversation. You’re also the only person in the entire thread discussing that, so I don’t understand what your obsession with “looking cute” is. Please, explain.
No, I do not, but, if you had read the entirety of my comment, I know, have dated, and are very close to African-American women. I have talked with them about their hair, and have discussed hair maintenance with them before. So. I’m not completely oblivious, as you seem to think.
Also, why would I have to grow an afro to be “allowed” to talk about the “other styles”? You’re acting like the only opinion who matters is those who have experienced African-American hair.
Are you a hairstylist? Do you know every possible hairstyle that would conform or not conform the the regulations? If not, please learn them, and come back with the correct knowledge. Are you also in the military? Do you know this from experience, or are you seeing this on the Internet? If you’re seeing this on the Internet, do some research first.
It's not about a head band or looking cute. Also, no one's yelling racism. Certain styles are to keep African American hair looking neat as well as well maintained. As far as twists being bulky, um no. They're only that way with added extensions. If they keep taking away options, the only one left will be an afro. Try and see a helmet fit over that. It's a lot of work taking care of Afro-textured hair. You won't understand unless you have it yourself.
If you’re not yelling racism, why does the text say “These new changes are racially biased"?Although I may not have the hair myself, I do talk to and are close to people who do, and they have shared this valuable information with me previously. There are other hairstyles that natural hair can go into that is uniform and would not interfere with headgear. Additionally,The military is about uniformity, as harlequinewhoknows mentioned. The US Army personal grooming regulations state “The requirement for hair grooming standards is necessary to maintain uniformity within a military population.” Here’s the source for that. Finally, don’t use “if” statements to solidify your argument, that’s a logical fallacy, and it weakens your argument.
So, for a TL:DR. No racism. Military is for UNIFORMITY, not self-expression. Fallacies are bad ideas if you’re trying to make a point.
Thank you, and don’t come again.
"Saawariya" was one of the most mystical films I have ever seen. The back drop was gorgeous! Especially the scenes at night.
Yes! Sanjay Leela Bhansali gets a lot of criticism for using the same styling choices for all his movies but, honestly,
I rarely mind because his aesthetic is just beautiful and everything feels a bit like it’s in a twisted, tragic fairytale, and I love it.
Same with Ram-Leela. All the dance numbers feel gloriously grand and the atmosphere is just heady and tense.
Breatheeee! I had no idea it was your birthday. Happy belated birthday, girl. I'm wishing you the best!
Compaaaaaact! Thanks, cutie pie!

“Phalanges” never fails to make me chuckle.
“Oh my god this plane doesn’t even have a phalange!”
15. What is your favourite accent?
Glaswegian Scottish accent. My ex had that accent and I still have a Pavlovian reaction to whenever I hear it…
38. Favourite perfume scent?
I’ve been using Jo Malone since college. I usually switch between the English pear and freesia or the nectarine blossom and honey. But I also really love the scent of my dad’s aftershave.
