also, if you eat fruits, you should wait 1HOUR before consuming solid food.

gamine, my younger sister HATESSSSSSSSSS locks but thinks she can deal with SLs. she's thinking about growing SLs (she's a permie) and taking them out after they grow long, so she can can go back to perming it. yeah, i know, she's funny.


yoga anyone? anyone?

no, i don't know of the ojishikamunna family. i know of my town's (Odekpe) royal family.

hey, my parents gave the name "chikaodinaka."
and every igbo i know say it makes sense.
contact them ifyou have any questions.

yes! lots of ladies have unlocked their sls. they just keep conditioning it for days until the locks unravel. you really don't HAVE to cut off anything. but, i may do that if i get bored with SLs. right now, it's my best hair decision ever. my texture is really soft with baby curls at the end. yeah, gamine i think we do have similar tresses.


I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE NO GUYS ON THIS THREAD! NO NATURAL GUYS ON NL AT ALL!! what a bummer   

a closeup of the texture. i LOVE sisterlocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and it grows like weeds.

my sisterlocks @ 8 months in may.

Chikaodinaka.

it is in God's hands.
my life, my destiny, etc,

hey, how do i post a pic?
i wanna post a pic of my sisterlocks, but it's not working

omonaija, we are the exact same size, 5'4 120lbs.

d-baby, don't worry about being petite. your small size will make you look even better with short hair! go for it

omonija, be sure to GO EASY ON THE TEA TREA OIL!!!

i love it but can definitely dry out ur skin. use very little and not too often. maybe like 3 times a week. it's a very potent oil.

gamine, do u think the plantain stuff is more effective than store-bought creams?

African girls are at a disadvantage since they do not have the resources to undergo these surgeries. And of course, some of the bumps they have may look beautiful to African people, but are not wanted in these beauty pageants.

clarification.

quote by lipuka:
The while girls go to the extent of having operations to change their features or appearance. This is common in India, Venezuela, China, Japan and Korea, among others. The girls undergo operations to straighten the nose, remove a bump here and there, change the eyes as the Chinese do, so as to look more Western and so on.

great idea. i've heard this idea from several people now. tanzania and ivory coast has something like this. a continental effort would be beautiful.
ivory coast did one for women who don't bleach, Miss Authentica: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8148719.stm

that is the reason i love dating HOMBRE and not CHICO

girl you got that right

nice to see this thread. broadcast student checking in!

^^

emmm, errr, what is this? LOL

u always know the boys from the men.

i guess elegance is no longer in style 
kimora, djimon and solange are the only good looking ones to me. solange should have worn a different lip shade.
kanye

when is pink coming out with something? i like her a lot

oh my gosh!!! what?!

society society society. white women wear weave sure but the weave looks like their natural hair.


@tsiya, i agree 100% it's tooooo much.
whenever i went to an event/party whatever at my university, the 9ja ladies had mountains of weave. it didn't suit them well at allllll. the AA girls also had weave but it wasn't so ridiculous. and most of the AA girls had wore their OWN permed hair. they just let it hang. it's not too common to find 9ja girls @ american universities with their own hair (permed, natural, etc.)

Obviously Tyra.

Who in their right mind would pick a dark skinned girl over a light skinned one? Are you kidding me,

i hope this ^^^ is sarcasm.



tyra is ok w/out makeup. tyra is just pretty.  not crazy about her big hair either.

naomi is a natural beauty. look @ her bone structure. she is BEAUUUUUTTTTTTTIFULLLLLLLLLL. my vote: naomi, naomi, naomi. she's so stunning and chic. but of cos, her attitude sucks!

she needs to that bleaching causes skin cancer. does she have acne scars she may be trying to get rid of?
and bleaching ain't cool. no matter the age.

hi yafa!! what is co-washing?


gamine, i wanna know all about this plantain-honey thing! it's for the face??

i looooooooooovee solange's haircut. she looks stunning.

@tpia
