Daily Discussion - Embarassing Hair Moments?

Have you ever had an embarrassing hair moment?

Has your phony pony fallen off in the middle of the street or have you ever avoided someone you knew because you were having a bad hair day?

What did you do and how did you fix your hair?

This man I didn't know, told me that my tattoo on my neck looked cool. But I don't have one there. He thought the BDBs on my neck were little bubble tattoos. OMG I wanted to die.

It's always a little embaressing to me if my bun comes un done and my hair pony tail is sticking out all over the place.

I think my extreme low cut (like a man's) partially became my fav style because I never have a bad hair day. Whether I brush it or not, it style looks cute.
People who know me know that I get a little crazy when my hair does not look nice....I hate when like some of my fro would be smashed or have finger indents in it! LOL, I like touching my head when I get stressed but then forget.
And when it is straight, anything I see wrong makes me feel highly uncomfortable. I always end up wanting to hide under a rock :P

I was wearing my half-wig and decided to go with a satin bonnet to cover my real hair instead of my nylon wig cap which was getting little pieces of hair in it. After a long day at work I got home and noticed on both sides my satin bonett was sticking out like a black person at a mccain rally. I was mortified.

Nothin too terrible. If i'm havin a bad hair day, i'll wrap my hair & throw on a baseball cap in a minute. But i just had to LOL @ "Your Cheeziness" that was funny

I wear the attachable buns (you know, the ones with the comb in the middle that you just have to cover your ponytail with) because they look very professional and save a lot of time and manipulation. Anyhoo, I used to wear the large one until one faithful day......Here's my story:

I had a dentist appointment scheduled on the same day I had a job interview. I say that because ordinarily, I wouldn't wear the phony bun to the dentist because it'll make the examination uncomfortable. So after I signed in, I sat in the lobby which was filled with people. When the nurse called my name, I got up and I felt the bun slipping. I didn't think it would fall out, but it did!!! It rolled down my shoulder and onto the floor!! Now the worst thing was that it fell on it's side, so it was rolling away like a wheel!! I literally had to chase the damn thing because it would not stop rolling!!! I heard the snickers and muffled laughs but when a little girl stood up and pointed saying "look mommy, it's getting away" I could've just melted into the floor. So when I fianlly caught up with the bun, I just put it in my purse. It really didn't make sense for me to reattach it! I realized then that you should secure those things with BOBBY PINS and don't rely on the combs attached to it! I no longer wear the large buns anymore, I just stick with the normal size and place thousands of bobby pins to make sure what happened to me at the dentist will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

lawd!!! lol
today!
so i washed my hair i think wednesday and i rollerset with magnetic rollers for the first time so i was so excited to see the result, and yaa my hair was still damp and obviously my hair didnt curl so i decided to do a braidout with my damp hair, the next morning i had and afro and today i went back to school cause i was sick, and i just put my hair in a bun cause i had nothing else to do with it, and it looked sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad, i was just like whatever i dont even care any more!

Well I walked to school and walked through a pack of bugs. When I went to the bathroom later there were some stuck in my hair. No one saw though. After that I always make sure to check my hair when I come in from outside. Seriously, if non-Black people see bugs or lint balls in your hair, no matter what you say, in the back of their minds I'm sure they are thinking your are dirty.

When I was in middle school, my mom found this hair "gunk" that made your hair grow faster. The only thing about it is that it smelled really bad. You know when people are redoing the roofs and they use that melted stuff to coat it? Kinda like a burnt BBQ and baked beans dinner? Well, it smelled like that.

So I used a little on my scalp one night and went to school in the morning. Well, it was a warm morning and I had the window to my seat down. A white boy was sitting behind me and was obviously getting some of the fumes blown into his face.

So he asked me to put my window up. I said no because I was hot. So he kept asking me louder and louder, and I kept rejecting him louder and louder. Then some kids behind him were asking him what the problem was.

He said, "Danielle won't put the window up and her hair stinks so bad I can't breathe!!"

Well, the bus could have just swallowed me up right then and there. So the other kids had him sit with them and I was able to keep my window down. After school, I rushed home and washed my hair and never used that funky junk again!!

i'm sure i've had many over the years. however, i do remember back in 8th grade when side burns were all the rage. i use to draw on my sideburns with an eyeliner pencil. you couldn't tell me nothing back then, but looking back i know people thought i looked a HAM (hot azz mess)! lol

[Melay]

diet_pro, you gave me the best laugh. I was crying so hard!!!!!!!! Every time I stopped to breathe, I read a little more and started again. OOOOOOOOOOOOOwwwwweeeee. Too funny!

Ok..stop.

My story is I had just gotten an amazing weave. This was when fusion was new and I had a famous stylist do my hair. I couldn't afford her but she gave me a deal as long as I "advertised" to everyone that I was wearing this new type of weave. I'm now ashamed to say...I didn't tell a soul!! That hair looked too good and too real. No one knew. My friends kept saying...girl your hair grows like weeds! So, of course I fronted to my love interest at the time. He hated weaves. What was I thinking?? One day, in a heated moment, we were kissing. Well, he's a very passionate kisser so before I knew it he was digging his hands all in my hair and all I felt was both hands STOP! I was so ashamed. He didn't say anything-thank God, but he didn't have to. I knew what he was thinking. Mortification!!

[GiGi]

Damn. Where do i start?
I'd had buns fall off, tracks show, hair extentions smellin a hot ass mess, walking around with clumps of grease on my head, bad dandruff,the works,gurl. Just the very thought of those momments could have me crying on my knees. I blame it on the miseducation of our hair. I'm strictly natural right now.

[Toya]

LOL @ diet_pro, Danielle, and ATLcutey!!! Too funny! I can't remember any specific examples, but I've had people call me out about my tracks showing. That can be pretty embarrassing because everybody knows they shouldn't show.

my SO was rotf laughing at diet_pro. Here's my story: last week my stylist asked me how i wanted my hair. i said, "down, with some body" when i walked out she had attached a "body" on my head using my own hair! it was like a ball of a body arising from the left side of my hair. then she had the nerve to ask if i liked it. i looked like i was going to a costume party.

Today was truly embarrassing. I was hanging out with my boyfriend and his basketball team mates. Well, his team mates were out and it was just me and him in the pool and hanging by the jacuzzi. I didn't plan on getting my hair wet until he thought he was funny by pushing me into the pool! I'm about 10 weeks post... I need a relaxer terribly. So my hair air dried and I looked like a frizzy mop with so much new growth. I had to hang out with the gorgeous team looking like that...

[DANA]

Ok this incident is what brought me to the point of doing my own hair. I used to have a short haircut. You know shaved in the back and all. Well I went to this hairdresser. Sat there waaaay too long, finally got my hair done. Took a better look when I got home and saw spots in my hair where she tried to shape up the shaved part but obviously did not cut my hair the way it grows. Man I had to go back the next day and get it all shaved off by another stylist. I looked a hot mess with a bowl hair cut because I had to get it all shaved off!

y'all have me laughing really hard in here.

At our engagement party last June, I wore a donut bun as well. After DH gave me a touching toast/reproposal everyone came up to hug us. Well I DID secure it with bobby pins, but it didn't help. I was bombarded with hugs and it was literally hanging by the comb. I caught the bun before it fell in the dirt. I ran in the house and got more pins and REALLY secure it.

Another incident was recently at my pole dancing class. Once again, I wore the bun but didn't have any pins. Just imagine, spinning plus lack of support on a weighted bun. I'll just wear my crackhead ponytail next time.

I was with on of my friends from college she was graduating and she wanted to go out to the club so me and a few other girls went out.. I got ready with her at her mom's house and I wanted a full look for my hair so i borrowed on of her mom's phony tails.. This is the first time i have ever used one of these mind you .. ok so Im there at the club its hot in there but I was having fun BUT the whole night i was pushin it up becasue it felt so heavy i was afraid the whole night that it would fall out and everyone would see and laugh at me so thats my semi imbarassing hair momment.... lol

[diet_pro]

As a side note, EVERYONE I tell that story to just falls out laughing as well!! I think that was perhaps one of my most embarassing moments....period!!I can still remember what I had on and everything! Oh and that was not the only part of the day that was horrible. We should bring this one to the social network!!

I used to use the pink sponge rollers every night until i realized how drying and damaging they were...anyway, im walkin across campus thinkin i was lookin TOO fly when this cute boy I had been flirtin with said " you left one of ur rollers in your head"...i snatched it out so fast!! Total embarrassment!
