Tayeni: saw a picture of Chimamanda Adichie's. I liked d hair she was wearing.....very African and natural yet fashionable.....told my lady to make it too........for where!!!

how old is that chick(chiimamanda)anyway?

ThaProphet: Actually you are right...there are some that grow downwards. Does yours have to reach a certain length before dropping down or it just grows straight down? Completely right about the natural hair shift. From where I am as well, more ladies are beginning to rock the hair that freely grows on their heads.

Actually the minute mine passes a few inches it starts to grow downward which really suck to me..but its just part of the beautiful diversity of our natural hair..u can do anything with it, i think its muy awesome.

Ah...I see. Guess you can't rock the fro then but it definately does not suck. I'm sure it looks great. Like you said, just got to embrace the diversity.

Good African style but d problem with dis hairsytle is that it causes pain,headache & sleepless night.

Eeemmmm!! The hairstyles fine ooo,but as for you guys,na una babe/wife go first fix am and upload the pictures for here before I go reason my babe to do same...


Wayo people

shymexx:

That's an unfair comparison.

How about let's compare Beyonce to either Esperanza Spalding or Erykah Badu?

I definitely would pick both over Beyonce everyday of the week.

Erykah Badu batty alone is enough!

Is it unfair? It's a comparison of polar opposites, as in different types and definitions of beauty...

I love my black hair to bits but those hairstyles naw...how will I sleep? I love the way Jodie rocked hers in the 'Kuchi-Kuchi music video.

Will send mine soonest.

Looks good but must be really painful having those stuff on one's head.
I love my Senegalese twist above all.

miky: So beautiful.. What's the essence of going for these confused women with hair from another lady.. Are you saying yours is not beautiful or elegant enough? A mindset like that is poisonous.. Rather be with a Brazilian chick European chick or lady who appreciates her own beauty..

Gbam!!!

Very beautiful. The same thing being done to Black women in the U.S.A. is happening in Africa. They are made to permanently relax their hair at all costs, to be seen as 'professional' or having 'good appearance'.

scipher: Days when virgins full ground.. you go see omoluabi marry

Virgin no deflower themselves o, na we men deflower dem

Harmvirus: Hmm..nice..buh women dn tear eye..
How about this hairstyle?

wtf

Our guys are so confuse!!!!! Its the same guy that complain that they can't marry a woman not 'tu.sh' and u we wonder if dey really know what dey want.....Most guys don't have a hand work like of fathers in those days, most guys can't do without taking a woman to bed without marriage to mention a few of their problems
The fault is not ours alone but urs as well!!!

Dear mojisola most of what you wrote are based on the kind of society you live in and all this are mindset of people who arent sub cautious neither were they comfortable with the beauty they possessed Hence the need to stress the eurocentric agenda into the mind of the young african souls. To back it up i am an afrocentric and to an african like me theres nothing more beautiful and fulfilling than a natural looking black women. We have the best hair and beautiful skin to be proud of.

Where i live in europe you need to see the rate which white people go to suntan and spend all their week just to get a 2% of the skin our men and women trying to bleach off. Nothing more disgusting than Seeing a black women with the garbage or rag called weavon/wig is like justifying slavery and humiliation of my people. I personally believe trying to change your appearance to be who you are not because of the society you live in is lack of self worth, self hate which qualify you as a living robot and twice as stupid, evil as the society that made you hate yourself. At the end of the day everybody wants someone who appreciate his/her own beauty so to me it makes a zero sense trying to be someone you are not.

Much kudos.

I hate weaves & wigs, as in I cannot stand them, but that's just me. And it has nothing to do with me being natural. Even way back when I was relaxed, I hated them and never wore them. Every female out there is different; to each her own. When I went natural, I didn't transition, I just cut off all my hair and was close to being bald. Didn't feel the need to get a wig, like some might opt for. But I know people who go natural without transitioning handle it in different ways and that's okay. Whatever makes one comfortable. Next month will make my 6th year of being natural, so I've got my own head of hair. Anyway, it's refreshing to read this from a black man. Thank you.

Sister, hi five to you. We need to embrace some of these forgotten styles at times.

I'm wearing my threading hairstyle for some days now; I just wanted to try something different.

My next threading style is to use wool for knitting as thread esp. the coloured one(dull colour-brown).

PS: when next you do yours, include your hair band with bow to "ROCK" the style.

Totally agree, we do.

The wool threading style you're referring to ....do you mean yarn twists/yarn braids? I love yarn twists/braids! I've done them before, multiple times. Sometimes I twist them, other times I braid them. I do them myself. I've never used brown yarn/wool though, but black. I've seen one person with brown; it's a great colour. Make sure it's 100% acrylic wool/yarn. Bet you'll look awesome.

kreami diva: I'm making one of them one of these days. Someone needs to re-introduce it.



Meanwhile,all these guys wey dey this thread dey talk anyhow will go after a lady with brazilian hair and call anyone wearing these other hairstyles mgbeke or village girl. If u guys like it,ask your girlfriends to make it make we see wetin go happen

Thank you again beautiful african queen.

Hehehehehehehehe
Whatever rocks your boat.

The pictures are marvelous. They come from an era when African Women were Women. Now, they are "Ladies" and have been stripped of their Womanhood, with the support of we Men who see 'sophistication' in relaxing hair and brazillian hair.

Who sang: "If you call African Woman, Woman; She go say I no be Woman; She go say I be Lady O!" ?

ok
