Mohawk braiding styles

So obviously I need to watch tutorials but everyone says a lot of different things so I want a variety of opinions not just from influencers trying to make money. Context: I'm 15 and I want to learn how to do box braids to help keep the time I spend doing my hair to maybe 5-10 minutes max. I usually spend at least 30 minutes a day because I do sports so I have to wash it and the twists I do don't last trough the night.
I've watched videos and I think I need some kind of braiding gel, hair oil, and mousse. I want to add some extensions, not a lot cause my hair is to my shoulders but enough to give it some 'volume'? Cause I'd definitely be insecure with squiggly noodles for hair. But is that all I'd need? Should I avoid washing it after practice?(3-4 times a week) If I wash it do I scrub it or just rinse it? Also I'm scared of putting too much tension and ripping my hair out so is knotted or knotless a better option for me?
Also the reason I'm not just going to a professional to get it done is because of time and my mom doesn't want to pay the high prices that hairstylists are requesting for a style that probably won't last me more than 2 weeks because of sports, I do fencing and my head gets really sweaty plus the mask rubs on my hair a lot.

i’ve been trying to find this story in read back in like 2018. it was a story with the classic art style. i don’t really remember anything about the mc except for the fact that she was w a guy named skye w the mohawk style. she had a dream (i think) where skye died and she got super depressed and suicidal after the funeral and drank bleach. i think it might’ve been deleted tbh butttt idk i’m so curious about it

I know losing 50-100 hairs a day is normal. But I never faced any hair shedding, not even a few until I changed cities for my university, and ofc the water sucks here. But now everytime I run my fingers through my hair, 1-2 hairs fall out everytime. Today after oiling my hairs I run fingers through my hairs several times and I think I could easily count about 25-30 hairs falling down in the sink. I've thick and dense hair still. After oiling I can see my scalp at the crown (ik this is normal coz it clumps like braids do coz my hair is thick touchwood).
Enough yappin lol, I actually want to know what vitamin pills or things to eat so that my roots become strong enough, coz the friends around me don't believe the 100 hairs falling theory or the running fingers one, and they themselves run their fingers through there hair and nothing falls out, but in my case I see 1-2 hair strands, and it makes me paranoid as hell. They would give me live proof like they would run their fingers through their hair and literally I wouldn't see any strands in there hands ( they belong to the same city maybe that's why).
Anyways any recommendations? I don't use any hair products or any hair styling shit. Just water. I just want to have strong hairs 🥹

So it was a Thursday, I was on the metro going to school, and this lady, a black lady, she got in the train and sat beside me. I mind my business like everyday, but this lady starts talking.
I don't know what she was saying since I had my earbuds on, but she started to hit me with the water bottle. Yo I looked at her and ask if she's okay. This lady started ranting on who know what, but then she was pointing at a boy besides us and the lady in front of us standing. I was confused because I can't really hear her, so I looked away. I told myself why did I even bother asking if she's okay, you can see she's not, just leave her be.
Then this lady, a stranger starts insulting me. At first I couldn't hear what she said. Until my song stopped 3 times. The first time she insulted me was about my hair. I honestly did not expect that coming from another black woman. When I heard that I wanted to cry. She was saying why is she tiying her hair if it's this short. Mind you my hair is shoulder length so I tie it because it can be all over the place. Then she said that my hair is too natural and that I should have wore a wig or braids for my hair to look pretty ( I twisted my hair since I have so much hair, I need them to be in a style to keep them tame). I didn't want to insult the way she looks because it's not going to do much especially when we are in a public space so I just let her be. Then my music started playing again and I couldn't hear her.
When the song was done playing I could hear her again. She started talking about how I'm so white and I bleached my skin to appeal to people. When I heard that, I was literally glued to my phone cause no way I heard that. I was born with my skin, so I don't know why she was hating me, when I was just enjoying my music and ebook. I literally wanted to cry. When she left the train to get to where ever she need to go, she was still insulting me. When she left this man came and sat beside me. I'm grateful that he did because I was not ready to deal with a situation like this again.
Before this situation, I honestly thought that if someone is going to insult my skin color or hair I was expecting every other race then my own. After this situation, I'm never going to assume that someone hates me or is racist until they show it, just like this lady did.
Because personally, other races were never so hateful in front of my face. They were either nice or curious. I have never felt as if I did them wrong unless I did.

Hello All!
I’m new to the natural hair world and apparently I have the most complicated hair texture. 4b/c, fine, low density, low porosity hair.
I’m not sure how to care for it so many things break it off. I literally decided to stop going to the salon as they only seem to damage it more.
I’m trying to find a protective style that works for this hair type… braids-no good, weaves-no good, wash-n-go - no good, I can’t seem to find a wig I like….I’m contemplating doing temporary Locs using human hair but I’m nervous this will only damage it.
Could anyone with success with similar hair type give suggestions?

I have a few medical things going on, I won’t get into them- just how they limit what I can do.
I have one bad shoulder, I can push past the pain to braid and brush, just not daily.
I have hand tremors, so pins and clips just don’t work for me.
And I have arthritis, so repetitive motions are painful- again, I can push past it, just not daily.
I’m looking for protective styles that are easy, nothing complicated. I don’t care how it looks- but no middle parts(middle parts make me look like I should be on an FBI watch list). I just want protective AND can be left in for 1-2 days.
My hair is waist length (if left alone to be a weird mixture of curly and wavy) or hip length if straightened. It also thin.
I’ve been using hair sticks during the day to keep it up/out of the way because I can re-do it with just my good arm every time it gets loose.

• Short hair ! I used to have long hair and it was a pain to keep up but short hair is much better . If you prefer keeping long hair - you can tie it in a quick tight bun or braid it.

Advanced : Find a spray to style your short hair .

• Maxi dresses - these are my go to . Don’t have to find a separate top and bottom. To still look stylish , find dresses of high quality that have embroidered prints on them. Find dresses in colors like black, white , cream , etc . Just no loud prints that might clash with everything. The goal is to find a dress you can wear in as many situations as possible- home , work , outside . Cotton or linen dresses work best in the summer. Find one with a sash or belt to upgrade
  
• Jewelry - instead of wearing different accessories , have one good necklace that you wear everyday. It can be gold or silver and if you can afford a real one, it won’t go green on you. Small pearls also work. You can find earrings too but for me I can’t stand earrings.
  
• Shoes- 1 pair black or brown boots for work, 1 pair shoes like flats that would go with everything . Find shoes with some detailing to level them up- a small but dainty buckle, etc
  

I can’t stand it. I have 4C hair that’s awful to deal with by itself. I have been doing my own box braids for this past year, and I haven’t dealt with any pain. The only stressful part that breaks me down is sitting in a chair for 12 hours, especially when you don’t live alone, 12 hours is separated into 3 days which will not fly when I’m in college going everyday. My issue is I dread doing this every time so I decided to try a stylist. I went today and it’s so painful, but it’s also a realization that this is how it will feel with everyone since I do my braids very loose to accommodate for my sensitive scalp. I’m at that point where I’ll take these out after a month, do my own sew in with leave out, and keep that in. I hate damaging my leave out but I no longer care. I’m so over this and braids are either too painful or take too long to do.
Edit: I took the braids out! It cost $150 and of course I was sad, but I couldn’t sleep at all and it taught me to never go to anyone and to learn how to do more styles on my hair that are less time consuming. I’ll be doing a sew in tomorrow with leave out :)

In response to this post, I wanted to share a comparison piece I did a few years back with the known characters at the time.
In the worlds of Ever After and Monster high, these two reign supreme in their school. Apple and Cleo, Dating the top hunk, loves to wear gold, and is used to getting her way.
Blondie/Spectra It isn't easy being the school newsletter blogger, either everyone calls you a gossip or wants an interview. They've also got wicked flowing hair and just seems to kinda pop in wherever there's action
BriaGhoulia- These two lovely ladies have excellent taste in chic glasses/shades and who knew how much fun a study session could be? These girls have got the answer!
CedaVenus-We got one girl who can talk to plants, and one who is made of wood One is cursed to always tell the truth, the other can hypnotize you and pretty much force the truth out of ya. Both want to protect the environment
Cerise/Clawdeen-Not all of us girls can be a lady at all times, some of us got a bad side It can be difficult containing your inner beast. But at least look your best when kicking butt...
Daring/Deuce-So we have the top jock, champ of the court, dating the most beloved and revered girl at school and hey, check out that blinding smile or the stony gaze...
Daring/Clawd-These two are the Top Jocks of their school. They also have a killer smile, Clawd has nice fangs... Always strutting around wearing a school jersey
Duchess/Nefera- Sooooo, who's the Queen Birch of school? This chick. She doesn't care about anyone's happiness but her own. And sure, she's gorgeous and wears some awesome outfits. And she doesn't have friends, she has minions.
Frankie/Maddie-The unforgettable friend we all have that has a few screws loose.... Dresses like their closet threw up. Speaks in riddles....? Speaks zombie.....? Why are you looking at me?
Gil/Hunter- So these two sport the same hair style...if you wanna call Gil's dorsal fin hair and yeah, they're both in that secret relationship with their lady and they're pretty nice guys too, very thoughtful.
Heath/Hopper- We all know that one guy who isn't so fly with the ladies, but can speak volumes of poetry when by himself. Did we mention the strange thing he does when flustered? And is red hair really so bad?
Holly/Meowlody- These two have a similar sounding name which rolls off he tongue both have long hair featuring a braid off to the side and have a twin sister which is always by their side
Holt/Sparrow- Kindred spirits here, both gotta crazy urge to always be jamming. They wear some pretty flashy threads and have some wicked flaming orange hair
Jackson/Dexter- Wow, I'm practically seeing double here. Are these two long lost twins? Brown hair, big square glasses, wears checkered pattern... Let's not forget getting overshadowed by their brotheother personality And then there's that whole "love triangle" business.....
Lagoona/Ashlynn- At first, you may think these two have nothing in common, but they're both in a secret relationship that is looked down apon by their peers and they've got a mass of curly long hair and they seem to like aqua blue a lot too They both even have green eyes....
Lizzie/Operetta- Here we have two divas rocking a very glamorous look, sporting red and black hair in a high maintenance style, wearing a heart over their left eye I'm sensing some Twinkie-ness going on here
Poppy/Purrsephone- Both of their names start with "P". They style their hair with a different strand of color to the right side and they share a similar edgy style of clothing
Raven/Draculaura- Being pale of skin, with ebony dark hair, these two daughters of darkness are pretty much expected to follow the path of their famously devious parent. Ain't happening.
Toralei/Kitty- We've all known that prickly feline attitude in someone who just delights in making mischief. Let the cat fight begin...

Packing up a bag to solve one of the jobs that had been on the back burner, the island overrun with zombies was getting resolved. Checking the contents over one more time, the raw pain of losing Croak drove me to this point. The twins’ hopping down the stairs had me grumbling under my breath, both of them bowing to me. What kind of childhood did they have if they felt the need for that type of behavior? This was irritating the shit out of me. Perhaps it was everything else.
“May we come?” Travy inquired with a nervous smile, her sister holding onto her arm. “I want to destroy what my mother built. Forgive a girl for dreaming.” Both of them looked eager, her usual white suit contrasting her sister’s frilly pink number of a dress ironically. Mulling over her reason, the vows would serve to protect me from assassination. Rolling my eyes, I couldn’t believe what I was about to say.
“Fine but I will be keeping a sharp eye on you. No funny business.” I spoke sternly, zipping up my bag. Whispering among themselves, the talking behind my back is not what I signed up for. Clearing my throat, the twins’ straightened up. Saluting me, this stiff behavior was wearing on my nerves even more. Marching up to them, little to no protest met me lowering their hands. Abuse had led them to such behavior, my task of undoing the learned behavior would be a tedious one.
“Please stop doing that. I want you to respect me by calling me Corpsy, ‘kay.” I pleaded with my genuine smile, both of them attempting to bow again. Catching their foreheads, enough was enough. Parting my lips to speak several times, my expression softening further. Pushing them back into the attention position, they needed to let their guard down. What do you say to a couple of traumatized individuals?
“I don’t bite unless I have to.” I promised them with a hearty chuckle, the edge coming off of their expressions. “Let’s go kill some zombies my pals kept contained for me. Splattered brains and skulls will feel like confetti at this point.” Rolling the transportation spell ball in my palm, a drop of my blood was all I needed. Extending my claws, the tips sank into the tender flesh of my palm. Blood coated my palm, the clear ball glowing to life. Clinging to my arms, a blinding light whisked us to an abandoned city. Fussing with my simple black tank top and cargo pants, this environment had me twisting my waves into neat french braids. Decaying skyscrapers towered over us, every building seeming to be a new level. Chewing on her lips, Saly had true fear in her eyes. Sniffing the air, the remains of a curse had me thinking a witch was in charge here. The true question was where was she, ghastly groans rang out from all around us. Rotting corpses at varying points of decay limped out, the smell sickening the three of us. Spinning on my heels, Saly and Travy waited patiently for orders.
“We are going to slice our way to a necromancer and execute her. If I am correct, we might even get some clues relating to your mother’s plans with Stormana. Sounds great?” Shooting me shaky thumbs up, a kick had my dagger into my eager palm. Extending my blade to its full length, the fun was set to begin. Remembering that Roseworth asked me to do this a while back, she would be proud of me. Spinning their blades in their palms, sly grins illuminated their features. Croak’s smile flashed in my mind, an arrow striking my heart. Croak had been my friend in the dark, the silence killing me every time I hopped into the hearse. Swinging away, heads rolled to my feet. Lightning crackled along the cars, Travy pointing to the closest skyscraper. Leaping over the zombies, shadow snakes slithered down my arms. Sending them out to find the necromancer, Saly pushed me into the glass doors. Locking the doors behind us, eyes glowed around us. Ordering them to shut down their lightning, too much power could bring the building down on us. Rubble covering us was the last thing we needed in this mission, the girls flashing me pleading looks.
“We need to get to the rooftop and get off the ground.” I ordered with a tired smile, my team members nodding with eager grins. “Cut your way to the stairs.” Moonlight bathed the lobby, color draining from my face. A thousand corpses surrounded us, the three of us standing back to back. Admiration burned in their eyes, an honest smile curling on our lips. Three stairwells seemed to hide from us, my snakes slithered over the sea of feet to tell me where our target was. Brushing against my arms on the way up, their hisses told me that she was several buildings away. Whipping their heads towards the clearest path, the twins picked up on it. Covering each other, sludgy black painted our faces with every swing. Jumping over the dropping bodies, relief flooded from our lips upon contact with the first step of the stairs. Three zombies lingered on the next landing, their lack of brains preventing them from going down the stairs. Sending Saly ahead, her skirt floated up with every swing. Crashing up the stairs, the grunting noises soon became the background soundtrack with every second closer to the rooftop. Kicking the door open, harsh air nipped at my cheeks. Black ash drifted like snow, the ash reminding me of a Gothic blizzard. Asking my snakes where to go next, their tails pointed towards the skyscraper twenty feet away from me. Backing up to the edge, our feet pounded together across the helicopter pad. Pushing off the edge, a quiet terror dimmed my eyes at the foul stench blowing my braids about. Landing gracefully, the endless sea of zombies on the streets had me shuddering. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop, a couple of hisses had me stopping at the rooftop of an art deco skyscraper. Massaging my forehead, we needed to get in. The usual growls and snarls had us shifting our attention to changed zombies, something seeming off. Cocking my head to the left, horror rounded my eyes at the chains holding them groaning in protest. Nudging my comrades, their terrified eyes met mine. Time for them to let some frustration loose.
“Cut them down before we have an issue.” I whispered loud enough for them to hear and for them to hear alone. Flipping over to the poor souls, lightning bounced off of their blades. Watching them work like a well oiled machine, the image of Croak’s smile in the early morning light had tears welling up in my eyes. A chill ran up my spine, the energy shifting. Glancing up, storm clouds rumbled to life, heavy rain washing the blood and guts off of us. The door into the building clicked open, caution giving me honest hesitation. Urging me to move ahead, it was almost as if I could hear Croak. Hollow footfalls thumped up the stairs, the color drained from my cheeks at a rotting Croak reaching out for me. Opening her mouth, maggots splattered onto the concrete of the rooftop. Stumbling back, the twins caught me before I fell off the roof.
“What’s the matter, love?” She inquired in a gritty tone, her sweet smile sickening me. “Don’t you want to hug me? You did get me killed after all.” Inky splotches dotted my trembling hand, the rain darkening to demon blood. Violent sobs mixed with shortened breaths, my heart seconds from beating out of its chest. Struggling to find any air, her hollow footfalls thumped closer to me. Pausing in front of me, her hands cupped my face. Raising her foot slowly, she kicked us off the roof. Zooming towards the sea of hungry zombies, a numbness came over my face. My comrades begged for me to snap out of it, Croak shifting into a woman with a golden silky bob. Violet eyes twinkled with malice, her spike covered leather dress matching flawlessly to her combat boots. A silver staff glittered in her palm, the skull resting on a carved bone handle. Snapping awake at her chanting, a pool on the roof of one of the other buildings caught my eyes. Building shadow energy at the tip of my blade, a flick of wrist smashed the skyscraper into smithereens. Using the energy to send me back up closer to her, the twins grinned ear to ear at the water flooding the streets. A jolting experience was scheduled for her friends.
“Get the necromancer. We have a shocking gift to jolt those souls awake.” Travy giggled maniacally, her sister joining in with giggles. Smashing more skyscrapers around us, the water flowed like a wild river. Kicking me closer, my trembling fingers snagged on the edge. Lightning lit up the stormy sky, Saly and Tavy winking as they slammed the tip of their blades into a metal skyscraper’s roof. Showing me their rubber boots, pride glistened in their eyes. Pulling myself up with a gruff grunt, a snarl met my broken but defiant smile. Shaking off my fraying nerves, the base of my anxiety remained. Spinning my blade in my palm, the necromancer tapped her staff on the rooftop. A straight blade the size of mine cut my cheek with its expansion, haughty laughter tumbling off her slick tongue. Bad guys needed to calm down with the cockiness, my eyes rolling at her next outburst of frustration.
“Why must you be so insistent!” She growled through gritted teeth, my fingers playing numbly with the cut on my cheek. “Wake up and fight me.” Her chest puffed up and down, frustration darkening her eyes. Rolling my eyes, someone thought highly of themselves. Snapping my head in her direction, an iciness came over me. No one called me out without having their flaws being pointed out as well.
“Fuck you for that trick. Clearly you don’t have a conscience. How many people had to suffer for you to play your stupid game?” I snarled bitterly, a shadow growing behind me. “We let you play for a little too long. Time for you to die.” Charging at each other, sparks danced in the air with every violent clash. Everything doubled, her head cocking to the left creepily. Smashing her fist into my stomach, a splash of blood exploded from my mouth. Sinking to my knees, several organs had burst. Struggling to my feet, she wasn’t going to win. No! This nuisance wasn't going to survive my retaliation.
“Give up already. Your boss left me unchecked for way too long.” She bragged with a Cheshire Cat grin, my hand holding my stomach. Wheezing through the raw agony, my blade trembled uncontrollably. Leaning onto my blade, her hit had some spice to it. Screw her for breaking my insides!
“Never. I would lay down my life the world. Not to be a bitch but you are pissing me off.” I wheezed between words, more blood pouring from the corner of my mouth. “Don’t act all high and mighty with that fucking bullshit that you believe. The dead should stay dead.” Shivering as I raised my blade, my blood painted her face. Slapping my cheek to get myself to focus, shadow snakes hissed to life around me. Swinging her blade towards my head, sparks danced in the air with the violent clash. Pushing her back, the puddle of blood splashed around my feet as I crashed into her building. Sliding down the railing, my feet touched a plush carpet. Spicy wit would have to be my friend, Croak’s real energy raising the hair on the back of my neck. Opening the door, her translucent form sat on the bed. Locking the door behind me, the building rattled. Burying her spirit into a hug, my tears cascaded down her form. Releasing her, her cold thumbs wiped away my tears. Wishing that I didn't have to leave her, too many words bounced around the tip of my tongue.
“Why are you here and not in Heaven?” I asked feverishly, holding her hands like my life depended on it. “Please tell me that you didn’t come here to draw me here.” Averting her gaze to the golden wall, the door began to rattle violently. Cupping my face, the words couldn’t come to her lips. Shaking like a leaf, this couldn’t be real. Speak! Speak, damn it! What I wouldn't do to hear her voice one more time.
“I was stolen from Heaven to this bloody place. Can you free me one last time? There is a deal I made and it has not been fulfilled yet.” She wept dejectedly, my heart breaking for her. “You look like you are doing alright, love.” Uncontrollable sobs wracked my body at how she spoke the word love, the door bursting open. Rising to my feet with a true defiant grin on a determined face, her reign of terror was over. Spinning my blade over my head, the twins paused in the doorway.
“I burn everything you created for what you have done!” I wheezed once more with tears hitting the carpet, hating her for everything she stole from everyone. “You stole someone important from me. Croak was like a fucking goddamn sister to me and you denied her happiness. Fuck you! Get to safety, you fucking idiots!” Running towards the window, lightning lit up the room as they ran down the building. Hoping that survived this, something told me that I might not make it.
“What are you planning to do?” She questioned icily, Croak standing up behind me. “She was easy to capture on the way up. Maybe I wanted to get the bounty on your head by the dark gods. Who wouldn’t want immortality?” Was that really the prize over my head?
“At least it's a steep bounty.” I retorted sarcastically, the corner of lip twitching into a half-smirk. “You wouldn’t be the first person who wants my head on a wall. Too bad I don’t fucking care. Time to bring the big guns.” Shadowy snakes held her in place, her blade rolling over to my feet. My patience had worn thin, my hands picking up her staff. Snapping it in half, it melted into a puddle of boiling hot silver. Panic rounded her eyes, her sinister grin fading for but a second.
“I don’t usually break out my fire powers because the damage is immense.” I growled through gritted teeth, black flames crackling to life as I marched towards her. “Look at you getting the special treatment. Shrinking my blade down to dagger form, black flames devoured my hand. Slamming it into her chest, my fingers curled around her heart. Extending my claws into the tissue, her fingernails scratched at my arm. Shrill shrieks pierced my ears, flames cooking her from the inside. Burning to a pile of blackened ash, Croak covered her mouth. Collapsing to the floor, my muscles had chosen to give out at the worst possible moment. Cursing under my breath, the building groaned in protest. Every attempt to move had me crying into the carpet, Croak begging for me to get up. Shaking my head, every muscle refused to comply with my desire to rise to my feet.
“I can’t.” I snapped into the carpet, my own blood pooling around me. “I used up all of my juice. Be a pal and stay by my side. You know, for old times’ sake.” Coughing up more blood, my claws dug into the floor. Images of Miles running around with my girls had me smiling to myself. Must life always flash before one's eyes. Croak plopped down next to me, her hand taking mine. Tavy and Saly skidded in, Tavy tossing me over her shoulder. Hating for a second that I was going to survive, my hand reached for Croak. Holding on for a second, her warmth felt like her embrace.
“I am not letting you die today, boss.” She chirped cheerfully, tucking my dagger into its case. “Sal, cover our asses.” Sprinting down the halls, Croak waving as she rounded the corner. Watching her spirit float into the sky, silent tears cascaded from my eyes. Letting them rip me from one of the only friends I had ever had, time slowed as they leapt into the crashing waves. Keeping me above the waves, black flames devoured every building. Debris whistled over my head, the lost souls floating into the sky. A wave of exhaustion crashed over me, a rough darkness stealing me away.
Groaning awake on a sandy beach, my wounds had been repaired. The empty vials shimmered next to me, a migraine throbbing to life. Tavy was cursing tersely over a fire that wouldn’t start while Saly struggled with a makeshift fishing pole. A fit of laughter exploded from my lips, a wry smile lingering on my lips. Fishing around my pockets while they rushed over to fret over me, their mother taught them nothing about survival. Sitting up with another groan, the pile of rubble had me tearing up for the millionth time. Stop crying was all I could yell at myself. Plucking my phone from my pocket, the waterproof case had it working. Dialing Morte’s number, he would get the coordinates and come get us. Getting the answering machine, a low growl rumbled in my throat. Rising to my feet, the trees blurred. Running up to me, my palms caught their foreheads before they could bow.
“Treat me like a friend, not a tyrant.” I spoke warmly, the girls straightening up. “Let’s go home. There might be a town not far from her. Dusting off my outfit, I buttoned up the leather jacket to hide the bloody tank top. Undoing my braids, perfect waves floated around my shoulders. Flaking the dried blood off of my face as we hiked, a small town with a single gas station came into view. Spinning on my heels, they shot me a thumbs up. Walking casually into the gas station, colorful snacks lined the shelves. Grabbing a ginger ale on the way to the counter, Tavy slid a couple of candy bars onto the gaudy counter covered in different lighters. Of course, they were hungry. How could I forget?
“Excuse me sir but you know where we are? Our car ran off the road and my cell phone broke in the accident.” I choked out with fresh tears in my eyes, the twins matching my energy. “I need to call a tow truck and I need to know what town we are in.” Sliding over his phone, he gave some a common town name in the United States. Leaving us in privacy, he wouldn’t accept our money. Pretending to dial a number, I hung up and left a wet twenty on the table. Cracking open my soda on the way out, the cool liquid felt nice going down my throat. Turning to face them, a plan had to be formed. Please don't be a daft one.
“You can’t transport or anything?” One of them asked cautiously, my eyebrow twitching at the question. Transportation was out of the question right now with my lack of powers, neither of them needing to know that. Walking into a small park, the early afternoon sun painted the water a nice purple. Dialing my phone again, Morte didn’t pick up. What the hell was he doing? Dialing Wut, he didn’t pick up. Why wasn't anyone picking up!
“Pick up the damn phone, you idiots!” I shouted out of the blue, the others jumping ten feet into the air. “Sorry, my bed is calling me.” Yawning groggily, every muscle in my body ached fiercely. Typing in ways to get home, a bus station wasn’t too far from here. Checking my wallet, I had enough for three tickets home. Marching over to the bus station, the elderly clerk looked me up and down before accepting my money. Sliding over our tickets, the strangers shot us odd looks as we sank into the seats in the back. Trees turned into buildings and back into trees, the four hour bus ride giving me plenty of time to fume. Parking on the edge of the town of my business, another hour passed before I kicked open the door. Everyone looked up, Morte’s damn phone was in a bag of rice. How the hell did that freaking happen?
“Who the hell didn’t pick us up!” I roared thunderously, Morte putting his hands in the air. “I have been calling and calling! I needed someone to talk to. Fuck all of you!” Stomping upstairs to get changed, a new dress waited for me with Roseworth sitting on the bed in one of her usual onyx lace dresses. Folding my arms across my chest, it was her fault I didn’t have a return spell. Who sends someone on a mission without a way back!
“I solved your fucking problem!” I spat viciously, fighting another wave of tears. “Death almost claimed me again. I understand that it needed to be done but I have one damn question! Did you know that Croak was there? Is that why you sent me? That was a freaking joke and cruel at best. I loved her like a sister.” Covering my mouth, tears dripped off of my hands. It hurt to say that out loud, a bit of shame dimming my eyes for a second. No, an explanation was deserved.
“As long as I have lived I have never ever been put through so much mental pain! If you want to continue to be in my life, then secrets don’t exist! Am I understood?” I continued hotly, the guilt in her eyes softening my expression. “Sorry for yelling. I have had a rough day. What’s with the dress anyway?” Bowing her head while collecting herself, a bright smile met my busted expression. Shit, did I go too far again?
“We were going to surprise you for your birthday and our phones all got dropped in water. That is why we didn’t pick up.” She admitted with wet eyes, the guilt creeping in from my outburst. “I did know but I thought you could see her one last time. Sorry for trying to help a grieving sister. I don’t have much either now. All I have is my nieces and you.” Plopping down next to her, my arms buried her into a bear hug. Apologizing profusely, her emotions soaked my shirt. Holding her until the tears dried up, my hand cupped her cheek. The good intentions canceled any rage.
“Thank you so much.” I mumbled with another sad smile, rising from the bed to get changed into the lovely emerald dress. “I love you like a sister as well.” Snatching the dress off of the bed, the reflection in the mirror had me shrinking back. A zombie would have looked better, the door creaking open as I cleaned up a bit. Morte poked his head in, my eyes refusing to meet his. Hating that I lost on him, he must despise me.
“I would have gotten you if my phone was working. I am sorry.” He apologized sincerely, helping me take off my filthy clothes. Sure, everyone really seemed sorry. Maybe I was sick of hearing the word. Helping me get my dress on, the zipper went right up. Tracing the black lace covering the fifties style dress, Morte spun me around to face him. Lifting up my chin, his crooked grin made my day a bit better. Kissing my lips tenderly, my face was still puffy as hell. Lost between a state of panic and euphoria, the combination had a sickening effect.
“You have never looked more beautiful.” He sang with his natural smile, my heart fluttering. “The kids wanted to throw you a surprise party so act surprised.” Uttering a single yes, he offered me his elbow. Sliding on my boots on the way out, we paused in front of the living room door. Opening up the door, everyone shouted surprise. Donning my genuine smile, the girls and Miles smashed into my legs. Thanking them with a flurry of feverish kisses, their smiles couldn’t be any bigger. A bit of life returned to my eyes, my kids giving the flames of hope another boost.

I’d like to give a gift set to my cousin and her daughter who both have curly hair. They live in a country where there’s a notion of curly hair = bad frizzy hair that needs to be brushed and there’s barely any products or information on it
I think their hair type is 4b and I’d like to give them a gift set that has pretty much everything they need to experiment and get a good hair routine. I’d also like to give them a book on caring for it for example (hairstyles etc) but note that we aren’t black but Arabs and it seems all hair type 4 styles (braids etc) is on black people which may be disrespectful and will definitely look slightly out of place so would appreciate any suggestions that have more ‘culture neutral’ styles if that makes sense.
Thank you!!
