A girl sitting next to me in a taxi asked me if that was my natural hair. She said my hair was nice/long and it motivated her to keep growing hers...she'd been seriously considering cutting her hair. She had probably type 3c or 4a hair, I'm guessing about APL. Though I can't know for sure.
I guess she wanted to cut hers because she does frequent wash-and-go's and a new hairstyle everyday, I can imagine that might get tiresome after a while.

The little girl I babysit told me I have princess hair yesterday. I had my braided bun and my hair was quite greasy, but I felt so beautiful after that I could've cried

That reminds me of the time one of my little students told me my hair looked like fireworks.

Children are so precious.

What age do you teach, if you don't mind my asking. The girl I babysit is almost 5 and I love this age! They are old enough to play games with and talk to, but young enough that there is still magic in everything. My favorite thing to do with her is to catch dandelion fluffs and tell her they are fairies

When I was about 20 I worked in an after school program. The first time one of the girls (a 7 yr old) saw me, she yelled, "It's Miko Barbie!!"

I teach music lessons to all ages, but I do have a bunch of little ones in that age range. They have such a different and vibrant way of looking at the world. It's definitely a good reminder to see joy in all things.

That's so precious! Shout out to Barbie for making dolls of all cultures with beautiful long hair.

I wear a santa scrunchie around my bun for work this week and last. It's gotten a lot of smiles and comments.

Wednesday:

Older woman: "Has anyone taken a picture of it?"
Me "No."
Woman: "I want to take a picture! Wait while I get my phone!"
She returns while I'm putting on my scarf and jacket:
"Go out! It's better light there! A bit further, where the ligth is better! Lower your cheek a bit!"
She then proceeds to take pictures from several angles and seems happy with her work.

I find this very sweet and being that serious in taking bun pictures, she could be a member here

Another woman couldn't stop looking at the back of my head and smiling while I cleaned her bathroom.

Last Friday, one of my customers had a visitor and they commented on my scrunchie. The customer then went on telling the other man:
"You should see what other things she wears in her hair! She wear bones (legs and bones are the same word in Swedish) and other exciting things!" He made gesture to demonstrate somtehing hugh.
Me: "I'm not wearing an entire leg in my hair... It's the bone of a customer who didn't pay their bill!"

Here's the now famous santa:

Hubby and I went to have lunch at a restaurant today, there are always half a dozen men standing at the bar chatting and having a drink. As we walked in the door they said hello, then one of them said "I hope you haven't chopped your lovely long hair off" and I said "Certainly not" and he smiled and said, "If you ever do cut it off, make sure it's at the right time of the month, if you do it on the wrong day it won't turn out right." Another man chimed in and said "I cut mine off not long ago and it must have been on the wrong day because it feels really odd now." and they all laughed. They do enjoy being witty!
