I don't get haircuts much anymore like i used to unless theres an important occasion coming, I've grown to like my natural curly hair and no one's complained about me about it. :manny:

Nowadays i simply brush my hair everyday so it doesn't turn into tight curly balls. That's about it for me
put that brush down and grow ya locs :mjlit:

Y’all square too. Never heard of a shape up in the chi. We walk in the barber shop like “hey joe. Lemme get a linin tapered in the back sides pointed on God”

yeah we say lining, but most nikkas on here arent from Chicago

Wait what does your hair look like? You can only brush for so long until you have to start using a pick

Its probably obvious it existed but like most things grew more advanced/precise overtime which led to its popularity...

And why do people still claim line ups lead to hairline receding?....

Shape ups aren’t a big deal in Africa and I’ve noticed the men there tend to keep their hairline for much longer than black men in the west.

Anyway, I only get a haircut once a month, which means for almost two weeks I’m wolf status, but if that’s the price I pay for having a full hairline in my 40s then so be it. :yeshrug:
Difference in quality in food too.

We have so much chemicals in our processed food it's insane. A lot of those blue 5, red 3 chemical shyt you see in food products are BANNED in other countries.
