Hats are definitely going to be your BFF this winter but by next Spring, your hair will have grown nicely, enjoy the mini shopping spree for cute hats girl

Solange - I thought America was rather fickle giving the poor girl lip for cutting her hair and being different, I guess everyone wants to look like everybody with weaves, fake nails, eye lashes and fake bodies Is she in fashion too, I know she is djaying now and she looks like she enjoys it a great deal, good for her to be her own person instead of being Boyonce's little sister!

OMW Nerd, I checked out the website but will read nicely in a moment, I love it, glad to see most people are starting to look inwards for beauty as opposed to thinking hair makes the woman and the straighter the better, black women finally don't have to look up to Europeans women as the standard for beauty

The head even feels lighter when the hair is cut, shower time being the best time "wrong" time to cut it Nerd with all that bone-chilling cold and snow over there Americans don't seem to like short hair very much, remember the noise made when Solange cut her's!!!

Nice that you are enjoying it Nerdy girl!

@ SA Goddess.

Am not in support of Guys who are not men enough to father their kids. I am married with a sweet n lovely kid who calls "daddy-daddy" and this is my happiest moment.

That is a good thing. . . .all good!

But generally men need to learn to wrap it up when they want to get busy instead of claiming to have been trapped by the women when they had a responsibility and a choice to wear a condom if not ready for what may happen!

samdede:
In real sense most guys are not ready for responsibilities that comes with pregnancy.

Wrap it up then! surely that is not that difficult!

I see kp, I guess you can do an E-massage since I am here and you are there!

LOL, a whole week, that would be one long massage

I took a day off last week and just chilled, rolled something and really chilled!

Been a long year, been hectically busy in the last month and also it is the time of the year when the brain is just tired and needs a long holiday but that will only be in Dec into mid Jan

SO Kp, how can you help me given the scenario above?

Odunnu:
So u sef don chop d apple?

Yes I have too old to still be a virgin

I could do with a beer, mental exhaustion!

An ice cold Heineken please barman!

A more modern way of doing the threading is to use wool(yes knitting thread).Its very popular in Nigeria with brown and black thread colour a favourite for most girls.

Cool, my previous nanny used to do my hair like that too but only use black wool, it's a very pre-teen way of getting the hair done but I loved it, soon some people at work started doing it too!

Yeah, I am sure there are modern styles but at least I got the idea of what threading is. . . . . . .

I will see if I can find pictures to post on here re: styles!

madlady:
I've avoided the hot comb for some time, sadly I will have to do it for 2 occasions coming up.


I'm sure threading goes by other the names. My sis-in-law laughs when I ask her to get her hair done in that style when she goes home to Nigeria. She said that style went out in the dark ages. I heard that threading made your hair grow quickly. I love it, it looks like ART.

3 pictures showing very basic threading styles.

I see now, LOL, it sure looks like stone age art Is it done with hair extentions/fibre?

Uh, hot combing your hair for two occasions should not damage it, I really don't think it will! I am going back to my home country (Lesotho) for the Christmas holidays, getting hair done is cheaper there and artistic, can't wait!

Tattoes are fine as long as they are not hood and all over the body, nobody knows I even have one until it's exposed and that is just how I like it!

How about you guys be proactive and use condoms instead of relying on girls to prevent unwanted pregnancies? Why go in there unprotected if you know you are not ready for ANY consequences that may arise, SMH, mxwwwm!

My hair is 4 months old since I chopped it and last week I was able to braid it. i do miss pouring water on my head everyday but I love the different look. the ladies who braided my hair were surprised at how soft it was. At a point the extension was falling off cos the hair was so soft I'm looking forward to how much the hair will grow when I take the extensions out

I hope I can braid/plait at four months, I so look forward to that. . . . . I am almost certain your hair will have grown when you take out the braids!

madlady:
to your first comment.

We call that patting down. So you don't use a HOT COMB, they can be ok if used with the correct products.

Are you going to plait ? do you ever thread your hair?

Yes, patting down it is actually, NO hot comb for my hair and the only heat to come close to my hair will be when I go under the dryer when I do treatment at the salon, I will start blow-drying it when it is long, not now. Yeah I am going to plait as soon as I can, looking forward to it, I like cornrows with or without hair extensions.

What's threading? Maybe I know it but call it something else. . . . . .

madlady:
Let me reply quickly before I leave, twice in the morning and twice before bed. The Shea butter does not sud so I shower with ulay shower wash then bath with the Shea butter .


I have given up pressing my hair with electric hot comb, it and canerowing gave me split ends.

Oil treatments are very good, get a heat cap, they make the oil treatments more effective.

I see re: second wash, it sure took me long enough

Mine I press down with the hand after brushing just so it looks neat and not too "grown" (long)

I am definitely getting the heat cap, my hair is not soft so this should help a great deal, thanks for the tip!

madlady:
Yes, twice a day . The Shea butter quite greasy so I feel the need to use something that suds before I use that.
Dove, I could try that. You used aqueous cream for your baby that's very good, I think you get that on Prescription here.

Yes you must have a lot of growth by now, what style are you wearing?

Oh, I get you now, one wash in the morning and another in the evening? I also take two showers a day, nothing beats that just showered freshness. Yeah, I use aqueous cream on my baby to wash his delicate skin and it works wonders. . . . . . . . and Dove Cream Bar for me, nothing else is good enough, love me my Dove!

My growth is only two and a half months old so still not long enough to plait but it's grown and is getting quite thick. I still brush and press it down during the week but on weekends I rock the rough look and make up my face nicely, I will give it another month and should start braiding afterwards I am also going to start with the oil treatments as my hair is not the soft kind, oil treatments should soften it a bit!

Second wash Madlady? Do you take two washes everytime? I use aquous cream on my son when he washes, no soap because he had eczema when he was younger. . . . .still use it to this day and his skin is so smooth and soft, I can imagine your skin being as soft at a baby's bottom I use Dove Moisturising Bar for my skin and it works great.

My hair is still growing nicely, it is going to be thick, I can see it. I was thinking the other day how my sculp is so clean as there is no dandruff, if nothing else, the clean sculp should keep me away from chemicals for a long time, if not for life!

My man and I will be WEEDING the night away, frying our brain cells!

Inked_Nerd:

Lmaaaaaaoooooo @ village part . I bet all the village girls who are steppin' off buses must be mad at you right now. Have you considered making your own or using hair gel to help style your hair?

But they will know what I am talking about, the village look is distinct

I have not considered making my own hair products YET, but am interested to know how I can make my own styling gel!

I will check out the vedio link, a bit hectic at the office today!

Inked_Nerd:

Hmmm, what style are you going for?

LOL, that is the problem Nerd, I just brush it and end up looking like I just got off the bus from my village somehow it just doesn't look right but soon this stage will be a thing of the past. . . . . .weekends are easy as I just apply moisturiser and wear it stylishly rough and off I go. . . . . . . .

"Everything" is in an accent. . . . . . . . . . . .if someone opens their mouth to say something to me and they  sounds all "wrong" then we can't proceed with the conversation    I like me a well-spoken man with a strong manly voice!

Gees, it really does not take much to start a riot on NL      

Anyhow, boobz are boobz, come with different shapes and sizes and also skin elasticity differs, I believe the shape of the boob will determine the degree of sagginess.  There are women with big boobs that are still standing because of the shape of the boob and elasticity of the skin (even after breastfeeding) and there are also those women with small but saggy boobz and they don't even have to be pregnant to get them. . . . . . . . . . . . .most mature men should know this!

Ejadamen:
I'm curious,what natural products?
You're funny. Try to enjoy this stage cos when the hair gets longer,you'll remember this stage wistfully. I'm loving every part of my hair growth. I just ignore the stares and move on.

My only problem is when coming to work, I just can't get the style right for some reason but otherwise I am good.

I am sure I am going to have many happy days with my hair but girl allow me to vent from time to time, it's not all smooth-sailing, this is new to me so I am sure you will understand why I get frustrated at times, but I appreciate that there are people walking me through this journey, it will definitely make it easier!

A circummcised penis is "blowable" can't say the same about an uncircumcised one. . . . .in terms of pleasure, dick is dick, as long as it clean, there is no difference!

My studs are not helping the situation either but I will look into investing in more girly earrings, got gloss so will make sure I look cute. . . . . .I also had an aha moment earlier, I can invest in head scarves also I got one already and these are going to be my best buddies from now until my hair is at a decent length to play with.

I also thought it was US $$$$ BUT now DRILL, how much is that in SA currently, just want to get an idea of what we are talking about here!

Sagamite:
Can you provide any source of that news?

I really can't believe anyone is that mad.

$50K? That might just be a typical African exaggeration by his opponents.

I know for sure there were tons of teenagers and people in their 20s in the crowd of so-called "veterans" he was sponsoring when I saw it in the news.

How can you be a war veteran in 2000 for a war that ended in 1980 when you are less than 30. Bloody street thugs calling themselves veterans and backed by a retarded president-for-life.

Of course they looked like JUST street thugs, small time criminals who had been paid to cause havoc. . . . .

ZIM DRILL:
thats the reason i have told these other guys to ask me about zimbabwe

some war vets went crazy with money they bought watches for their dogs

Are they still buying them now? I bet now they are back to block one. . . . . . . . .

I had no idea about $50 000, Bob is crazy I tell you. . . . . .  .but I heard Zim is recovering now, it is true?  I have buddies from Zim who have invited me to go along with them on their next trip, can't wait.

Oh, please hurry up and fix that abusurd before you get quoted on it

You are right Saga, the madness in Zim started just before the elections because Uncle Bob wanted to be seen to be doing something for the people yet only passed the farms on to his buddies. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong Drill Bob wanted the votes and when that failed, him and his people started brutalising Morgan and his supporters, the land grabs is what brought Zim to it's knees. . . . . . . . .and of course "the rest of the world" was not going to sit quietly and watch the people suffer so they sanctioned him and that just worsened the situation!
