amazing!!to everyone who replied, this goes to show that no one is ever really satisfied w/ what they have.appreciate what you have wether straight or kinky b/c chances are someone else is admiring it! But before this, i never really considered how much we can change up our hair styles. (afro-amer female) straight & kinky are beautiful.

yeah im latino too and i think african american hair is the best...

my hair aint str8 tho...its wavy, but w/ nappy hair its easier to maintain waves, an afro, etc...

i have to brush like a mug to get waves, and i have to get a headband/rubberband/etc to hold my hair up for a while before i let it loose so it can be afroish lol...

when you constantly rub your hair hard, isnt that trich? trich is losing your hair by pulling rubbing and/or twisting...

thank you for the reply

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.

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?

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.



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?

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

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.
