Well, one kind of extensions are called "nulocs" or "sisterlocs" or some
such. They look pretty much like dreadlocks. You can get colored
extension hair which she could use. I'm plotting on getting these soon,
so if I do I will update everyone.

Oh Melissa, you lucky GIRL!!!! I have had this sad, secret obsession building
up inside me that says "pony. Pony. PONY!!!!" I want extensions too... or at
least (and prolly more realistically for me, too) a pony fall. As soon as I
get $$ I am marching my butt down the street to the Beauty Supply store to
drool over jumbo braids.
Hey, will you take a pic when you get them done? My curiousity is endless! :D

alright, guys. here's the plan. all of the poor
extension coveters must come together to
form a new collective. by piling together our
wardrobes, buying a truckload of fake hair,
and blasting the Cure (sorry, i get to pick the
soundtrack ;), We Will Get Extensions.
i say we've got a few options. all link arms &
storm into a beauty school, demanding they
give us pony hair for 40$. (we dazzle them w/
our platforms and shiny clothes and ability to
wear *that much* metal in our bodies).
or, we can kidnap Aconite and the other gor-
geousgoffs with lovely extensions and demand
(a lot of demanding going on here) from their
friends that we'll let them go if they get us
extensions! (or, we could just transplant the
ponygoff's heads onto *our* heads.. that
would be an interesting dinner conversation.)

: Or Baltimore?
When I was in Baltimore for WorldCon there were 3 braiding shops right by
where our host lived (near the Senator theater at York road and
Belvedere). The cab ride to the convention center brought us by more
braiding shops. They're not likely to be $40 cheap, but you'll probably
be able to find some styles in the $75-$100 range.
The basic guide to finding places that do extensions in X city is: figure
out where the black areas of town are. Go there are see if you see any
braiding shops or hair salons that offer braiding. If you can't find any,
find a beauty supply shop that sells to black salons and ask them.

Yes!
We Will Get Extentions.
We will figure out a way!
(Maybe if we talk about it enough, people will start a fund so we'll
shut up about it. ;) )

Unfortunately, in this city those are *really* bad areas to be in.
The deep South sucks in that way.
They also probably won't have a clue on how to get funky colors (like
the glow-in-the-dark ones I've started to covet) or how to deal with
my hair. :/
I need to find a freaky salon.

i was thinking this same thing the other day!
i figure, if every person i know and carry on
regular conversation with (coworkers, friends,
acquaintances) gives me 5$, i've got it made!
they can consider it an investment.. towards..
my future. yeah. mhm. (any one willing to
part with a few bucks, lol?)

The funky color do indeed appear on the heads of black women. Especially
the dark burgandy red.
I can't imagine New Orleans would be completely devoid of middle- &
upper-middle-class black people. I've lived in far more backwards areas
of Appalachia & still encountered them. & most of the
middle/upper-middle-class black women i know/see have weaves or braids.
It shouldn't be too hard to inquire of one of them where she got her
hair done.
> They also probably won't have a clue on how to get funky colors (like

Who do you think neon jumbo braid was originally made for? While i'm not
a black woman myself, by virtue of the field i'm in i find myself
making observations of trends & styles of all sorts of folks & it seems
to me FME that bright colours have been quite "in" for black women's
hairstyles for several years now, especially braids/weaves. Hell, i
flew home for the holidays seated directly behind a black college-age
girl who had fat blue & black braids all over her haid (Lulu-bob
length).
Seriously, if *anybody's* going to know where to get "funky colours" of
extension hair, it'll be a black shop. I've never bought a pkg of hair
in any colour that had a picture of a white girl on it. I know here in
little ol' Johnson City, Tennessee, i recently went looking for new
hair. In the (predominantly caucasocentric, at least here in
Appalachia) Sally's Beauty Supply, i found not even a hint of extension
hair, other than some cheesy blonde curly falls attached to a barette
& made by Revlon. At a small black shop i found yet another shade of
blue i didn't previously own, & some lavender, & for $2 a pkg.
> or how to deal with
> my hair. :/
Not all black people have the same texture of hair. Racial mixing is
so common (especially in the NOLA area) that to assume a black hair shop
"won't have a clue" on how to deal w/fine &/or thin hair is a bit
narrow. I seriously doubt if you walk into one of these shops the
stylist is going to burst out w/something like, "Oh lawsy, miz Narnia,
i don't know nothin' 'bout extendin' no white-folk hairs!" :)
> I need to find a freaky salon.
...if you want to pay by the hour. Judging by the daily nonsense posts
on collecting extension charity, you aren't going to find yourself able
to pay freaky-salon rates.
Look, find a nice-looking be-braided black woman, find out who did her
hair. Call them up & barter. Gimme a break, Narnia. You have a server.
Offer to build them a webpage & host it on velvet.net in exchange for
free first-time extensions & a continuing discount on future
maintenance visits for the duration of the time you maintain their page.
Simple enough.

Not a bad idea.
Doubt I could get anyone to give me $5, though... if they're not going
to donate money to a server they use, they're not going to donate
money to futher my cosmetic causes. ;)

It isn't.
They don't live in the "black areas of town", though, which was what
was suggested to me.
>Who do you think neon jumbo braid was originally made for?
Yeah, I know. But from the inquiring I have done, they've never heard
of the glowing kind.
You're right, though, and I'll keep trying.
>Not all black people have the same texture of hair.
I didn't say they did. :)
I should have clarified this - *I* have really weird hair. Many
stylists have commented that my hair is really strange.
I'm commenting on my hair, not anyone else's. :)
>I seriously doubt if you walk into one of these shops the

<grin>
I know. In retrospect, I *really* should have clarified what I was
saying... it looks like it may have come out slightly narrow-minded.
Sorry about that. :/
>...if you want to pay by the hour. Judging by the daily nonsense posts

Unfortunately, very true. I just got $100 for Chanukah, so I'm hoping
that maybe I could find them for around that.
I wonder if it's even possible to get that cheap.
>Look, find a nice-looking be-braided black woman, find out who did her

If I see one (wouldn't have the first clue where to look, really) I'll
ask her.
Thanks. :)
>Call them up & barter.
I'm a little worried that they'd hang up on me and I'd never get the
chance...
