Protective styling is styling the hair in such a way that there is less damage.

Afam4eva:
Less damage to what, your natural hair? What are you protecting it for since you're not gonna use it anyways. All you gotta do is buy a weave or another form of hair to cover it.

Are you serious?

You guys really need to stop making daft statements.

Seun: I think she's the best Nigerian writer by a long shot.

ItsModella:
Your post reeks of ignorance. Even the white people you say we strive to look like wear extensions and not all of them have silky long hair. So you make no point really. I do however agree that some wear them for insecurities but saying all black women who do are insecure is just ridiculous. Wearing weave is not a clear cut indicator of insecurity.

Seun: I lost interest in the book when I learnt that it has a lot to do with hair or something. She looks different in this pic. Her eyebrows are messed up.

shymexx:

Seun, you need to get out more...

She's a good writer but definitely not the best Nigerian writer and definitely not on Ben Okri's level, to be honest..

You need to quit that ish you have been smoking of late, bro..

Afam4eva:
[size=14pt]She can't possibly be the best writer off all times. I think that's a joke and an insult to Nigerian writers. Saying she's the best writer of this era or generation sounds more plausible.[/size]

There's something called personal opinion. Why do you think he needs to get out more because he chose Adichie as his favourite. Who told you that he has not read books from other authors. Why is Ben Okri better than Adichie. I think you need to get out more. Lol.

For this generation , She is the best...give me a Name

Seun: I think she's the best Nigerian writer by a long shot.

shymexx:

He's the best change we've got at nicking another nobel prize for literature... His style of writing/mastery-of-the English language is impeccable... Adichie isn't even close at all!!

Afam4eva:
What did i say that's wrong? How many times do you see ladies carrying their bare hair these days. Ifd it's not wig, it's attachment, if it's not attachment, it's Brazillian, indian, peruvian, rwandan etc. Thje inferiority complex is too much abeg.

Afam4eva:
Best is a relative term. It's a matter of personal opinion. Even Chinua achebe cannot be said to be the best. He's just the most influential which is easier to know than the best. If you had said, most influential of this era, it would have made more sense.

CHESSBOARD:

Afam we are talking about her generation , our generation..... not Achebe's generation, BTW, whats the criterion of picking the best, i beleive its a general opinion thing and popularity

ItsModella:
Inferiority complex? loool...anyway, to answer your question, I see a lot of women carry their bare hair. Keep exaggerating, you hear?

Which planet are you....You said "alot", probably in rural areas. i always have a fight with my wife for this, and beleive u me, her natural hair is more beautiful and richer than brazilian hair yet she prefer buying and wearing brazilian her.... its just a trend thing many mehn are fighting every day

shymexx: The storyline and concept won't win her any awards...

She needs to write about violence/controversies... Boko haram would be a great subject matter IMO... Controversy/violence sells - hence why her "Half of a Yellow Sun" was/is a bestseller...

We're talking of city ladies here and not village girls. I'm yet to set my eyes on any yuppy girl that's carrying her natural hair except she's on her way to fix something on it. Lol.

Afam4eva:
Popularity does not equal being the best. Tonto dike is the most treding celebrity in Nigeria today, does that make her the best entertainer? Chimamada is my favourite writer of this era but that does not mean i will force it down everyone's throat.

CHESSBOARD:

Did you say Ben okri, ....his stories dont cross the shores of Nigeria,

ItsModella:
Excuse me? Where I am, I see a lot of black folks with bare hair, I mean A LOT!!

sholay2011:
You will be surprised but this book would win awards. Just wait and see.

shymexx:

His books are out there... and most of his books are Nigeria-centric...

CHESSBOARD:

thats what am saying he publish his first book 1980 and he is 54 yrs.... his time has almost expire, chi-baby is 35 and more of our generation than Ben okri
