MsDarkSkin:

ok so how much do you charge to do hair again?

For grown up? Apx. 75€ with hair added, and only using your own, apx 70€ . The professionals in the shops here take around 3-5 times more

Yeah, will come check out your section this weekend.

Meddler: My hurrrrrr.

Meddler your hair is lovely. Is it natural? or you just untwisted your retouched hair. I know that when I untwist my hair after removing a weave that I get such lovely cascading curls, I didn't know that a natural unretouched African hair can give such waves. I will like to know how you work that if that hair is unretouched okay.

aaanu: Bin rockin my natural for a year now n its fun n liberating

Aaanu you look natural and beautiful, I'm so loving our African natural hair right now.

@Darkie
That lovely hair you featured there (the one by the woman in purple) will look good on an African bride on her wedding day.

The short curls on the woman in the picture below use to be one of my favorites that I rocked during my university days. I cut my hair short, use a texturizer on it. When it dries I apply gel (it immediately gets curly) and part it 65 degree slanted in the middle of my head (you need to see the shape I give that hair) and I had this white shiny spray that I spot on a little patch to depict gray (cause I love gray hair ). Girl,I so love that my unique look then. I also put on some african neck and wrist beads and when I dons one of my little pieces of campus wear that I made at home during the holidays my head of department can't help but call me a designer. Lol.
I should be that real African woman with some African hair (I've always loved natural African hair while growing up) and ethnic beaded earrings and neck pieces but white collar job took all that from me. I hope to get back that natural look I love very much.

My signature weaves/weave-on is this Diana Rossy kinda weaves but not full full overly blown out like that of diana rossy. I normally use Premium deep wave weaves to get that look. I fix the weave (65 degree slant parting in the middle) and after a few days will break the weave into tiny tiny cascading curls and it will blow up and take that shape. It's another close to natural look I like much.

I simply like how Solange killed that natural hair look. Lovely!

nope.
only @ the roots! the rest of my hair still has some of chemicals in it.

but my natural hair though is soft originally so i am able to get it to blend.
it doesn't look crazy which is important lol. i was thinking of doing the BIG chop but im too much of coward. i only cut my ends to keep my hair even.

Thanks dear. Yes my hair is natural meaning no relaxer. Its a twist out that is twisting the hair then untwisting it for this effect.

lepasharon:

I know right!!
One elderly ethio woman offered to do mine a while back.

i regret so much that i never took her up on her offer.

I am contemplating doing the BIG chop Kandii was talking about (see below).



the issue is though, that I have a high forehead.
and while i wear all styles exposing it..i don't know about cutting off all of my hair mehn!

But here is my personal challenge regardless...
STARTING TODAY! i will take a picture of my hair every three months.
I'll post my progress so you guys can see my hair journey.

Hello ladies, i bc last week n am feeling cool already.
Pls how do i get the curls? Do i need some cream or wil it cum up on its own.

cocospice: Hello ladies, i bc last week n am feeling cool already.

there are several methods but as for me i use shea butter on my hair when it's slightly damp and then i put my hair in bantu knots. i take them out the next day (or when they are fully dry)and then my hair is curly.
