My hair:

mine is an average hair and since living here, my hair has been acting up. Of recent, i cut off my hair. it is growing already and so far it's been sooooo hard and painful combing it, sigh. But then i have decided not to use relaxer at least for the rest of this year JAN-DEC but maybe braid and see what difference my hair would make. It's pricey here trying to make/maintain your hair at the salon. the senegalese charge abt 180-250 dollars to do the hair, braiding or twisting, na wah ooooo.

i met an african american lady she got a very straight hair and so soft. we started blah blah about hair. i found out she wasn't using Relaxer. she said she does it for 62 dollars. that what her stylist does is to shampoo, condition and then use hot comb/hot iron, that she's been wearing her hair for a while like that. i asked her if it stays that way always, she said ye. but that whenever she wash it, it looks afro but soft. until she uses hot iron, hot comb, etc and it looks straight again,

my question is if one can use those method to make the hair looks like it's being relaxed? at least soft (which is all our goals). what are the pros and cons of having a straight hair without using Relaxer? I'm thinking of going this way of making this afro like, hard and kinky hair of mine soft,

really?

I wonder o. maybe just playing ignorance. say grown uup folks, said again 20years of living in Nigeria,
i think real smoking sour garri will jolt am up, 

@ Spoilt

you see the response to your humble answer to his/her/it post eh? 

quote you: @Omoge, what do you mean that 'i ve not finish', for your information i am a telecom engineer so that answer your question.

It is sad that most of the ladies nowadays are into different runs, some are following the aristos, some are professional prostitute, LovePeddler and some just because they want to catch fun are into different relationship.
Please tell me is there any other lady that is decent enough for me to take home to mama.
Please apply!

so i said you've not finished cuz something is missing from your list above and which is: some ladies just want to go to college and get a degree
not all are into what you listed.

cheers.

@ bluenuban, you don come today? welcome  

the way you dey talk na the way i hear say stress dey begin, na for head e dey start. now go smoke garri   you will be fine.

LOL

lmao oh mine mine, wonders!!

Software, see me, this one no no joke again, oh na wah sha.

Nubian, you don't have to be harsh, sometimes pple just want to play with word that's the fun of it. playing with words like they do it back home.

you are the only one complaining abt the posters use of word, well, after a hard day in USA, that's the outcome, stress. LOL.  make sure you get that peace, cheers.

all this for a joke? what's the world coming to? ummm, i wouldn't mind you cuz i don't like using abusive word.

i can see what too much smoking garri can do to the mind. Pele
america stress don enter you, go smoke garri bo!

okay, lol, yeah i know the smokin garri. am not surprised as a Barrack girl born and breed. I love the way the Poster used the word, Smokin Garri, 

If you are a real ogbologbo Nigerian, you won't be asking what Smokin garri means. Just like I wouldn't ask oyinbo what Smokin gun means,
those on this site are those who knows what GARRI the king of food is about, and you come dey ask us wetin smoking garri be eh?

even aje butters knows what smoking garri mean, if you aren't nigerian just say hey, am not nigerian, what does smoking garri means and we go ans you.

got my beef? as an ogbologbo, i can try GARRI the king, whichever way i deem fit. so smoking garri means, smoking garri.

cheers.

get a paper, put some garri in it, wrap it and use your mouth to inhale and blow it outta your nose, that's smoking garri


don't try it sha, lol

bluenuban:
i still can't understand de meanin of SMOKIN GARRI*

@ Ayeisha, am not sure what you are trying to say or you just trying to be defensive,

the thing is the way they present it is kind of RUDE. When they are presenting their own programs with nudity, there is always star or circle to cover that nude area.
but Discovery channel, Travel and geograpy channel don't do that when presenting show about what some white guys went to film in remote Africa countries.
I was watching a program (educative ?? I doubt it) they showed the african men dancing in the Nude, bare young ladies and children etc. That wasn't fair.

I came across this, what do you all think forumites? Quite interesting, let's hear your take.

Y' all don't be too carried away, garri garri, garri with beans, garri akara, garri moinmoin, carry dried fish, garri bonga, garri and crayfish/prawn, carry and sugar, garri kulikuli, garri groundnut, garri milk, garri bournvita, carri milo, garri beans, garri pepper (have seen someone does that green pepper put in soaked garri), garri plain, garri sour, garri suya, too much of garri is BAD for the health, it reduces your eyesight, and also make your shit hard,  , make you get headache (sour garri),

at the end of the day, more garri for eba, sigh  

some pple might as well be drinking FUFU as it comes from garri (cassave too)

@ Knighthood,

You've not finished, And some just want to go to college and get a degree, It's a lady's world we live in today

That's why i keep telling whoever cares to listen, DON'T sleep with a guy unless he wed's you! cuz he will go at your back and trash you that there ain't no more good lady out there, which isn't true.

yeah, that's y ladies in their lives or out there are teaching them a lesson or two but you what they never learn

lol, him want his 2 or more ladies,

you need glass to see the beauty in that ol' broad street? there is beauty in there and i sure can see it

because the beauty has been spoilt with tall building with little or no benefit.

eeeeyaaaaaaaa

wine, what do you mean to say?

hmmmmmmmm Aiyesha,

You just have to understand that even in Nigeria, parents don't always agree if their son is going out with a lady from another tribe in their state or another state. Not to talk of from another country. But many time love conquers all. So if you really love your man, continue to be good to them. With time they will understand and leave you both alone. And if they don't show any understanding, it is left for you and your man to decide what you guys both want.

stay
