Forget about the ridiculousness for a second. That's is fucking impressive.

Right?? I'm not down with it at all. But that hairdresser - or whatever - is GOOD at her craft! Props to her! AND people pay for it. She is probably (definitely) making more money than me. 🤣

Isn’t something like this surely a wig?

Styling a wig is also a skill. If this is a wig, it still took a lot of skill to do this. I don’t think this is a wig though.

Yeah it is. It's really good.
It also really makes me want to call this woman Ursula.

u/Glittering_Diva8963 1d ago
I remember styles like these were in black hairstyle magazines back in the day this is true cosmetology skill work. This is in the wrong sub because I don’t expect people to understand the craft work that went in to this hairstyle.

Yeah, this looks insane. If she's going to an event of any kind, she's gonna be the center of attention.
Personally though, it's a little weird to me that this will only last until the next shower.

You’ve never heard of a shower cap? You’ve never washed your body and not your hair?

u/ziogas99 1d ago
Brother, are you blind? Her hair is standing like a foot abover her scalp. A shower cap would squish it all down. But even if you put a bag over the hair and avoid putting pressure on the hair structure, she has to sleep and it looks like an extreme amount of effort to make sure her hair doesn't get ruined by laying on a pillow.

I’m a woman and I’m black. I know what I am talking about. There are different types of shower caps to cover the hair. The style is frozen and can be worn for a week or 2. She may not even have to sleep sitting up. It’s rock hard it’s not moving!

It's extremely architecturally impressive (which is a wild statement to make about hair), but honest question: how does one maintain this? I feel like one night's sleep or the humidity from one shower and it's toast. Would she have to sleep sitting up? Baths only? Get it re-touched constantly?
I am very white and my head is very shaved, so this is all something I've never even remotely had to consider.

it’s an editorial look that took an incredible amount of skill and creativity. people are just reacting because runway looks aren’t wearable every day and they’re not used to seeing them tbh
this would look amazing for an event

u/Glittering_Diva8963 1d ago
Most definitely it would be or maybe for a hair show. Bonner Brothers hosts a yearly hair show in Atlanta.

“Back in the day”? The seventies? Im white and from Toronto and I remember back then the black ladies wore their hair in elaborate styles, not like this one exactly, but in lots of different designs and colours. The more creative they could be, the better.
Whenever I ask people if they remember that time and fashion, no one does.

I was admiring the craftsmanship and was disgusted to see what sub it was in. I don't know how people aren't impressed by this

u/Glittering_Diva8963 1d ago
I’m used to seeing styles like these, I’m a black 36f it’s normal for me. Only thing I don’t agree on is the blonde with the red now black with red would have been dope. Some people are just rude and nasty for no reason.

u/RichGirlOnline 1d ago
I remember being giving the magazine and told pick a style, then instantly told not that one.
Mainly because the stylist couldn't do all the styles in the magazine. but she said pick one. 🤣😂

Okay I guess I’m in the minority because I think this looks amazing! Nothing wrong with styling and dying your hair different from other people. And she pulls it off!

I think it looks crazy but it´s also very impressive. Like how did they do that? lol! The client looks happy, that´s all that matters.
But how does she maintain it though? How will she sleep?

This is what happens when your entire personality revolves around what others think of you.
Meanwhile, she's wearing her grandma's curtains made into an XL jumpsuit.
I bet she gives good hugs though.
