the blowout kit is designed to make your hair LOOSER and straighter. to coil your hair up you need what straighties and curlies call a "poodle perm" or something.

i actually think its cute that straighties want naps! so many folks just hate naptural hair
be careful... life is bitter sweet. we are living in a world of hate

thick naptural hair worn in twists, flat twists, or bantu knots. products: organic refined coconut oil and hair tea.

JESUS Rules!

Okay, I'm just passin thru, but I had to comment on this. I honestly can't understand for the life of me why ANYBODY would intentionally want nappy hair. Yall are lucky. Yall should appreciate the fact that yall got straight hair. There are so many people who would kill to have yalls hair and go thru the drama of perms and pressing combs and flat irons. Yall should appreciate the fact that yall were lucky enough to be born with straight hair.

Nuh uh I totally have the total oppisite of what you think.... Nappy/Kinky/Curly hair that African-Americans have or some that have African-American are so lucky, With that kind of hair you can do anything with it, get it straightened,Jerry Curls with just S-Curl, Afro,easy to do corn rows/dreads all the other Beyonce hair styles the females like...But with straight hair like mine all I can do is just leave it straight or curtain hair cuts to make it different, if I want an afro I have to go through the embarrassment of going to a beauty salon to get a perm and it doesnt even look natural, I can't get them Jerry curls or any of those.

So i'd say love your nappy-natural hair you were blessed!

Beyonce hair styles??? Beyonce's hair is a nappy weave. Personally, I think Aaliyah had better hair. But that's just me, I guess.

And I'm assuming that you're not black or female, so I have a question. Would you seriously even consider dating a female with some nappy a$$ hair? Somehow, I doubt it.

Could I like put something in my hair after I do this to make it like stay for a while with out having to do all that all over again....lets say...kinda like a dry perm...


Or would not washing my hair for like a week with my hair in the "nap" state train my hair to be somewhat curly and stay for a longer period?

I guess it is nice to get braids. But the only reason we nappy/kinky hair types usually braid our hair is too make it grow. So you should be grateful with your hair type.

First of all your hair is going to grow whether it is braided or not.

Secondly you can only speak for yourself and not all people with nappy/kinky/or coily hair.l

Well theres this girl on the real world road rules thing on MTV wit a huge nappy fro and shes quite attractive.

But yeah, I would love to have an afro, but im to embarrassed to walk in a salon and ask for a perm.....because it would be awkward for a male like me to be walking in a 'beauty salon' in the first place. So is there any other way to achieve a fro besides Ded PreZ advice?

if u constantly rub your head and your hair starts falling out, will it eventually come back?

p.s. isnt alpocea (or however you spell it) the only way people lose there hair and it never grows back?

I did Ded PreZ tips on how to make my hair appear nappy. It was a really good idea, I consistantly did it every day 2 hours after I took a shower, but your hair doesnt actully fall out it like just breaks and becomes very weak and brittle. So I say if you do it, don't do it on a regular basis...


P.S.

Is there any other way to make hair nappy besides DeD PreZ way or perming?

Wow! I have never heard of such a thing, people with naturally straight hair who want nappy hair. If only the people with naturally nappy hair were proud to wear their hair in its natural state.

I know plenty of people with naturally straight hair tht want nappy hair. They aren't african american tho. I am natural and I have more people who are not african american that they wish they had my texture. I am proud of who I am, I wish all of us were.
