Bipoc Self Shipping - Tumblr Posts

black self shippers! imagine your f/o helping you out with your hair care process!! 🤎

do you have locs? they would help you with the retwisting process, letting you lay back as they work at your scalp, oiling down the sections and twisting them back cleanly for you. making sure you don’t experience any discomfort or pain during the process, maybe they can help pick out some beads or loc jewelry for a little something special!! maybe something that reminds them of you!

do you have box braids or chroceted hair? they’ll help you during installation, and taking them out too!!! they’ve practiced really hard to help you cornrow your hair, they know how weak your fingers can get after too long, and they know doing it by yourself is a challenge in itself! anything that can ease your hands for a second they’ll do in a heartbeat! there’s so many braid styles to choose from, oh, maybe you can do some twists!! the two of you can sit back and watch a show or movie you love during the process!

maybe you wear your hair natural! they’ll help you with the entirety of the washing and detangling process!! they’ll use all your favorite products, the ones they remember you smelling so sweetly of when they’re close to you. If you’re more tender headed, they’ll work as gently as they can to get all the knots out so it won’t cause you any pain!!! what style would you do? maybe pigtail braids, a twist out, Bantu knots, maybe a cute hair pin if your afro is short! anything that you’d have in mind they’ll make it happen!! whatever style makes you feel the most lovely!!!!

don’t forget night time care too!! do you have a scarf or head wrap you like, maybe a bonnet or braid cap with a cute pattern? if you happen to accidentally fall asleep and forget to put it on, they’ll go out of their way to look for it and secure it to your head. they won’t forget to press a kiss to your head as they let you sleep. you’ve worked hard to keep your hair the way it is, it’s one of the many features they love about you! and rest assured they’ll do anything they can to make it easy for you, no matter what!! 🧡
