JallowBah:

Some women look damn good with no hair, as long as the head-shape is good.

I have a big forehead so I definitely won't go bald or low lmao.

but I have seen some sisters who can rock them and look fine!

btw I love those pix you uploaded.

Thank you

I have been bald, and had a mohawk. The mohawk looked damn good on me, thugh, but skinned? I looked like a damn nazi.. But my mother looked REALLY good with her head skinned 15years ago.

LOL!

I am about to start my natural hair journey and this girl I know who has been natural (as in no perms and sewn in weaves) for 4 years, told me that she had to chop her hair off at first to get back to its natural state and that that is my best option.

He hair is VERY long and thick. Just gorgeous and poofy..(like the picture in my profile) which is what I want.

Anyway, when I heard "chop"
I almost cried!

luckily, i am a youtube addict and spent the entire day that day looking at "how to go natural without the chop" videos and found out that I don't have to do a thing except clip my ends each time I see new growth and eventually my entire head will be full of untainted natural hair. I was happy!

I just can't do it. My hair isn't meant to be shaved.

For some, it works like a charm. My hair didnt grow much before I to dreadlocks, actually.. Now they grow FAST.

interesting.

i don't know if i could do the dreads thing tho.

slimyem: you are just looking for trouble.....isn't it?
I did it because i wanted it...not because of what you/anybody else would have to say about it!
Satisfied??how would you know?
You saw like 1/5 of my head and you conclude its not the right shape?
Lol.
I'm in no mood for your wahala..

Lmaoo!

I have this friend who also went bald with me but her headshape is really flat at the back with two horns at the front. I didn't say anything because obviously, she couldn't see the back of her head.
Lol!


I haven't rocked my normal head look for a while because my face has gone slim and looks long. I feel it will now look weird just go out like that. Need fat.

MsDarkSkin:

interesting.

It absolutely not for everyone, thats for sure. Not much work to take care of, though, if you`re like me and prefer the natural look The dreadlocks that are perfect all the way seems for me..too perfect. And aint nothing perfect in this world.

My hair at the moment. I did it myself.

I love that heavy ban.g in front..looks like it matches the shape of your face.

kandiikane: My hair at the moment. I did it myself.

please explain the bolded..
You styled it yourself or fixed the whole hair yourself??

I did it myself. Bought a wigcap and sewed the weave on. I usually make my own wigs and hair but this is the first time I actually used my head to sew the weave because I needed it to be perfect aand style it to suit my face.

Mines. I love em.

Can we see your husband's rasta?

Ah, my sweet hubby.

Wow! Nice.

How long has he been growing it?

kandiikane: Wow! Nice.

How long has he been growing it?

He started his in 2005, if I remember correctly. so about 7 years now.
He has talked about cutting them ( blaming Islam, he is too old, blablabla. ), but I told him that if he shave, I shave. Lol.

And, for the muslims: Google islam and dreadlocks/rasta. The only thing some imams worry about is the last cleansing; if the water can wash through all the hair. And with dreadlocks, it can

Oh, and another reason he thinks about cutting..he kinda miss how they used to be. He has been jumped and thiefed FOUR times in 4years in Norway, and he fights back, and they pulled out about 30-35 rastas all together..

Ah ok.

Ahaha, I can't wait for my hair to get to that length in 7years.

Maybe I should dread my hair too?

Yes, you should. Lol.

No, dont do it if you dont really want to. Cause when you want them out, you need to cut off almost all of your hair. So, its a commitment
But, I have to say..looooong, looooong, thick braids are so, so, so, nice. Let me find a pic.

And; Shes actually a nigerian yoruba, I see now. Reading a little bit in the blog

I may do that. I have always wanted to have big and long braids but never had anyone to do it for me.

It will be easier to maintain.

Do it. If its too long and heavy for you, cut it shorter. My husband cant go around with a headwrap like me, he says his neck starts hurting Its about what you are used to.

here's mine. afro temp fade

Emmyk, your hairline in front..did you shave it, or is it natural? Very..sharp. And I mean that in a good way.

*blushing 4 centuries* thanks. nah. Uhm, it is calved by my goldsmith barber. Just a tidbit though.. Leaving it natural will almost make it join with my eyebrow!! *chuckles*

i use revlon shampoo n conditioner. i think braiding cuts d front hair n i love to braid

Ahaaa..I was not sure Most of the africans I know either skin it, leave as a small afro with no fixing, or have locks. Not many of them cut the lines here in EU

Julesbloom: i use revlon shampoo n conditioner. i think braiding cuts d front hair n i love to braid

If its done too tightly, yes.

BUt I wonder..I see people writing that they keep braids in for up to three months. How do they maintain them up at the scalp

hmmm...........
always love long flowing hair.
grab it like a horse strap when doing the doughie( i should teach you how to doughie,huh? )

JallowBah:

Ah, my sweet hubby.

Cuddlemii: Anyways, I am rocking low cut right now.
It wasn't by choice but by mistake. Its hard to get hairdressers that make naija/african hair over here.
Last year october, I had glue and weaves on, I didn't removed it on time or I guess I messed up while removing the glue because all my hair vanished. I cried and went in front of a moving vehicle cos I loved my hair but its gone .


Well, the good thing about low cut, skin cut, short hair etc is that it makes u look younger, sexier and unique.
You get more toasters/admirers/people take pictures of the hair.
I am enjoying the complements(ladies inclusive) and I dnt need to bother about getting my hair professionally done, I just comb,brush and oil it and I out of the house. My face has become lighter cos of fresh air and I don't have reactions, pimples or spots usually caused by weavons. I feel good

Shiiit..thats why I prefer braiding it in. Tape and glue kills your hair, seriously. Have you heard about micro-rings, though? More and more caucasian women are using it, I never tried it though.
