Thick, full, coarse hair. Sometimes even curly. Your typical "Natural" (I still don't like that word) hair.

JallowBah:

Sorry, I know some people take offence from it..comes from my husband and his friends

I take offence to people of other racial groups using the term 'nappy' to describe afro or african hair texture. Those black people (including your husband and his friends) who use that term 'nappy' to describe black hair are suffering from steep inferiority complex and get no respect from me. Please never use that term to describe African hair again because other than the 'uncle toms' and 'aunt jemimas' (google those terms to know their significance) who suffer from self hate, no self respecting individual who is of African descent or ancestry will use the term 'nappy' to describe their hair or the hair of fellow Africans. Peace, out!

Ever since i cut my hair more dan a month nw, it has refuse 2 grow back. Any help?

Ileke-IdI:
Beautiful daughter.

Hell you can even braid better than me

There's sth about dreadlocks that I dont fancy. It has always looked disgusting and unwashed to me.

how do u know she's beautiful? Did u see her face?.

OP: Pics of your hair look really nice.
Anyway, I have a boring perm. But I recently "hacked off" most of my split ends so its really low now. It was shoulder length before but very unhealthy and thin. Now its in braids cos I want to grow out the perm to my natural roots for the next 2 years. #fingerscrossed#

Do you do anything to your hair that might not make it grow?

i dislike hair dat makes one uncomfortable. Any hair dat doesnt make me simple and comfortable, i dont do

I love ladies with braids. But as a man, wetin I sabi? Na to barb low cut.

Ahaaa Thank you.

I love braids in general. After being in Gambia, and seeing only girls/women with braids, and knowing that they laugh at men with braids, I dont see men with braids the same way anymore..lol.
It can look reaaaally nice, but I always look at them and think " Hihi.."

To the men who stay bold: Why Grow a damn afro!! Chicks dig afros. And if they dont, they aint good chicks.

Yield: You braided your daughter's hair very well, JallowBah.

Thank you I change it every week, right now she looks like this:


I try to change it every sunday. Use new patterns, small differences, new beads, etc.

This is my hair today:


Why am I the only one posting pics? Damn cowards

Sijo01: Dreadlocks, over a year now and still counting.

Pics, please

I already said I was sorry, that should be enough.

crackhouse: how do u know she's beautiful? Did u see her face?.

Maybe the person see her picture in a different thread.

Oh thanks! I will be sure to remember that.

Damn jallow! Usually, I assume most caucasians who have mixed kids don't bother to learn how to look after the hair but you have proved me wrong.
You learnt well.
I like.

slimyem: my hair is shaved bald right now...
Its been giving me too much trouble so i made that choice...
I feel so good about it right now...though i hope to grow it back later...

How's your head shape?

Bold n long braids reaching my lower back. For hair, i always go for comfort

My hair texture is 3C at d back and 4A in d middle & front.
I hv on weave but I left my hair out on all sides in order to form a pony tail. Looks like my real hair and easy to maintain.
We all know how much stress is involved in wearing ur natural hair out

mine

Omo, this your head na die....lol

It seems Shea butter hair grooming is not popular in Nigeria. I wonder why. It's popular in the US. Even for skin, folks are increasing using Shea butter for skin to prevent acne and to soften hair texture, and actually able to comb their hair down. I have been grooming my hair with Shea butter/coconut oil* mix. I also use this mix for my skin.
*coconut oil is different from palm kernel oil

kandiikane: Damn jallow! Usually, I assume most caucasians who have mixed kids don't bother to learn how to look after the hair but you have proved me wrong.

Oh, trust me, I assume the same about most norwegian women here too
Most of them dont do anything with their kids hair. They use products meant for white people, and have their hair "natural", and it becomes damn u-gly, cause they dont use any oil or anything..so yeah, I have the same judgement going on there

I use as natural shampoo as I get a hold on, and coconut oil if her hair is out free. I use pure shea butter ( straight from Gambia ) when I braid her, and to make sure her scalp dont get dry.
If you have any more tips, I will be happy to get them

I am just waiting for my dreadlocks to reach my butt..lol.
My hair seem to grow more fast in locks, than what it did when it was "normal".

Same here!
I have really sensitive skin, and I tried pure shea butter from the markets in Gambia last year. I did not like the smell at first, but damn..thats the only lotion I have NO reactions to. It took away any scratching, dry skin, f`ed u skin on the feets, it helps with sun-burns, after shaving the legs, etcc, etc. The only place I dont use it, is my face, its to fat for that.
And pure coconut oil is amazing too.

Now I just need to find a perfect shampoo..I used to use Pure Hemp Shampoo, and that is the best I have ever tried. But they dont sell it in Norway anymore..

I looove these patterns. They look fancy, but are really easy to do And I love, love beads..thankfully, so does my daughter. She had this style about 1month back.

Tolaaaaannni:

Do you do anything to your hair that might not make it grow?

NO. I did notin

yemi2plus2:
NO. I did notin

Use shea butter. The fulanis say it makes your head grow. Put it on in the night-time. And get some sun on your head

.

JallowBah:

If can translate it for me to complete and utter english so I can join the understanding, I`ll forgive you

Oops! sorry i checked in late... i see okiki_oluwa had already bailed me out. forgiven me?

slimyem: my hair is shaved bald right now...

LOL! I see. Well, for now I really don't use much on my hair since I cut it. My hair is weird, if I start using different products on it, it breaks so right not I just use indian hemp and shea butter.

sanb: mine is short and i have the anita baker look

Fancy Plain black, or you added some colours?
