top to bottom: tatielle, tatielle, knighttcat
One of my earliest childhood games consisted of taking a pair of my mom's nylons and putting them on my head so I could pretend they were long, luxurious braids. In preschool, my favorite teacher (I still remember her) had a swath of jet-black, waist-length hair which as far as I can remember was the only reason she was my favorite. In fact, all I've ever wanted (cue violin) is a nice, heavy curtain of thick, rapunzel-esque hair. And all I've got is a head full of flyaway, baby fine hair that won't grow. You win this round, genetics.
So, in honor of my sick obsession which often finds me jealously eyeing the ponytails of my fellow commuters on the bus, I just wanted to post some pictures of good hair. I think if I feed enough orphans or cure cancer I'll be reincarnated as someone with really really really good hair, right?
Meanwhile, in this life I've always fantasized about getting extensions, but have pretty much been scarred for life (and my had my eyeballs unceremoniously assaulted) by the unfortunate weaves of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton among others. There are just so many goddamn horrible weaves out there. An exception, of course, is the lovely Unbeweavable, who gives me hope that perhaps someday it really will be possible to add length without looking like I have a dead possum on my head. Amen.

AHAHA! THANK YOU for not grouping me in with Britney and Paris!
ReplyDeleteI told you, I will fly my ass up to SF to make sure it's done right for my girl!!
you crack my shit up, I swear. xo
I can totally relate. Though I have long hair, it isn't thick but baby-fine as well. I've learned to live with it, because I'm wary of extensions. Mine does grow fast though... which is almost annoying because I need to get it trimmed a lot. You're right about the bad weaves out there... in some cases they would be better off just wearing a wig!
ReplyDeletethe first picture is adorable!
ReplyDeleteat the moment clean hair is all I want : D
ReplyDeletefirst pictura.. i really wanna make my hair just like her!!!! love it!

Lol, I opened up your blog and prior to the page loading I was confronted with hair porn, to which my brain went "woooaaaaah, what!!". Haha, okay, agree with you...love these pics and I'm always amazed by people with gorgeous long healthy, shiny hair. Beautifullll.
ReplyDeleteI would love an afro...have ALWAYS wanted one...
do you reckon you'll get the extensions?
also, nothing better than sleeping and buying things :D
These are all gorgeous, but just tell yourself that they are actually all extensions to end the jealousy. I always want to cut mine off but I am waaaay too scared that it won't grow back!
ReplyDeleteAs for extensions for yourself, I love your hair in the first place but I think it would be really easy to get away with them because you have dark hair and they look so much less obvious than when put into blonde hair. Just make sure you get ones that are the same sort of shinyness (I don't know how to put that any better) as your hair because this girl I work with had some blonde ones which looked fine in real life but on pictures, the flash made the extensions look like shiny plastic barbie hair, and her own look like straw. Not good! :) x
p.s. the Dior sunglasses look AMAZING!
great blog, love the pictures! your description is outrageousl
ReplyDeletelong hair is not all it's cracked up to be- J- my ponytail is huge- but it sheds and it feels like a blanket when I encounter warm summer temperatures. Of course, if I never left San Francisco, life would be grand!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the first pic. So shiny:)
