Anitra, try not to laugh…but it’s official. I am a…dare I say…

HAIR STALKER!

So, there’s this girl that I’ve seen at the gym a few times and I know she probably wonders why I stare.  Cada vez la veo, I’m staring.

I’ve been trying to get up close. Up close and personal, so I can get a good look at her hair. Damn! I must sound mental, but her hair looks just like she went to una belleza dominicana. You all know what I mean. She’s got the bounce, the swaaay and her hair looks shiney. I had already mentioned to Anitra, the next time I see her, I’m going to ask, “Oye guapa, do go to a Dominican salon?”

Well, my schedule has been busy, busy, busy so I haven’t been able to get my butt to the gym for a few weeks (that’s a whole different story) BUT I saw this same girl today while I was running errand.

Guess what?

She had a dominican styled DUBI!!

I was trying to make my way up to her in the store. I really just wanted to ask, hoping, praying that there was a salon in town. Don’t get me wrong; I have become extremely picky about who does my hair, particularly since I know how to do it myself, but it would be nice to go and have someone else wash me and put my rolos in once in a while. Can you all feel where I’m coming from?

So, just as I’m about to catch up to this girl, I run into a neighbor, who stops me and starts chit-chatting. Use your imagination to view me rolling my eyes right now, because I was MIFFED! I was hotter than a rolex watch on 125th street.

Ok, so I engaged in idle conversation for, what felt like an entire generation and then forgot that I had an arm full of groceries, as I bolted towards the door to try to find this woman with the pretty hair. I was immediately brought back to my senses by the geriatric Paul Blart, Giant Eagle cop, “Ma’am! You can’t leave the store until you’ve paid for your groceries!”

Feeling all eyes on me, like I’m the local thug-in-training. I slithered my hair stalking fanny back to the register to pay for my goods. I didn’t even bother trying to explain myself to anyone, because I knew they just wouldn’t understand, but I’m going to have to do it girls.

I’m going to have to join, or start, “Hair Stalkers Anonymous.”

Otherwise, my next videos may be of me wearing an orange jumpsuit and updating my progress from Folsom State.

    I love the gym myself, I work out every day but my hair disagrees. I get my hair wash&set on friday’s and keep my hair wrapped over the weekend. I had braids in my hair because my hair sweat so much but those braids did damage and I had to cut my shoulder lengh hair. I’m hurting! What do you think because your hair is stunning.

    Hola Shanik,

    Oh thank you for the compliment! Besos!!
    I work out every day (usually – been slacking lately cause of classes) and my hair frizzes like crazy. I have been washing my hair weekly, conditioning and wearing it curly (which is why I haven’t been taking more pics or videos. It’s tough, because working out is essential to overall health, but you want your hair to look good (trust me; I know). A trainer friend of mine is trying to talk me into lifting weights more frequently and cut down on the aerobics. This means that I may not sweat as much.

    Do you have any curl in your hair when it’s natural? Can you do finger curls? I definitely don’t recommend braids, only because I’ve seen the damage that they do to your hairline over time – the weight just tortures most hairlines.

    I’ll let you know. I’m going to start using his routine next week. There may actually be a way to do my blowout AND workout ;)

    Wow, when I saw your response you made my day. You are the greatest, thank you for responing. The only thing I can do decent with my hair is a ponytail other than that I must pay someone to do my hair (sad I know). I want long healthy hair and funny as it may sound I don’t like my hair all over the place. I do like the curl look but when I roll my hair the curl doesn’t hold..What do you think…

    Hey mamita, I reply to ALL of the comments…sometimes slow, but I reply :) This a group effort; it’s pointless to have this site if we don’t help each other, right?

    Anyway, be careful wearing your hair in one ponytail all of the time too, because you may see breakage from pulling into the one position. Try to keep the ponytails a little loose; don’t go nuts pulling your hair too tightly and switch it up by wearing it in two ponies, or pull it to one side, then the other. This will prevent some breakage.

    Well, your hair doesn’t hold a curl…is it relaxed? If it is, what’s the typical climate like where you live? You have to take these things into consideration. You’re going to have to experiment with your hair a bit. Try tighter curls. Don’t comb them, but finger them so they stay a little tighter (will have to do a tutorial on this). This may help keep some of your curl. Also, try trencitas (little braids) over night, then let your hair out in the morning. That will give you nice waves that look natural, bu should not frizz up.

    Let me know how these ideas work.

    Besitos,
    LaNegra
