Hmm. Interesting. My sister straightens her hair, and she seems to get much fewer tangles than I do. And her hair was definitely as much trouble as mine when we were kids.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the hair at the nape of your neck tighter curled than the rest of your hair? That's the tendency with black folk, for it to be nappier than the rest.

Definitely. Tightest curls at the nape of the neck, loosest at the front around my face. Leading to a lot of really horrible haircuts from stylists who don't know what to do with curly hair and assume that, if they cut it all one length when it's wet, then it will be all one length when it's dry. (My hair gets pretty close to pulled straight from the weight of the water when it's wet.) My favorite stylist will always look at and feel my hair when it's dry, before the shampoo, and also factors in the curls boinging up when it's shorter and they don't have the weight of longer hair pulling them down.

Huh, cool. Classification of different types of curly hair. [link] I think the back of my head is 3b and the front is somewhere between 3b and 3a. My sister's 3a, my dad's 3b, and my mom is either 3c or 4a.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was thinking the same thing, Jilli. The answer, of course, would be bloomers. Ruffled, black bloomers.

Well of course, and I own some, but ... bloomers are for wearing under petticoats! (In my world, at least.)

Maybe there's some sort of riding skirt that would work...

Funny how there's so much aesthetic overlap between western wear and goth.
Jilli could wear this.
Oooh, they've got a buggy coat.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My sisters and I were always jealous of the girls next door who got to spend oodles of time with their mom while she styled their hair.
I'm pretty sure the girls next door were always jealous that we got to go out and play while they were stuck inside with their mom styling their hair.

I'm a 2b. My sister is probably a 3b, but as she just takes a brush to it, leading to a huge mess of fugly frizz, it's hard for me to recall her exact curl pattern.
