Hey, ok, the only way that u can get afro like hair when ur hair is straight is to get a perm, just go in and talk to the stylist for a few min, take a couple of pics of wat u want to give him/her an idea of wat kinda perm ull need, or they might tell u that u just cant get it, I know it sux but it might be true!!! then book ur appointment!!! Good~Luck ------------- ~*Rose*~ ~Beauty rules are meant to be broken, and put back together in your own way~ |

| No offense but you'll NEVER be able to grow a 'Fro cause you ain't black.I'm a female,I'm black and I can naturally grow a 'Fro effertlessly but if your hair is naturally straight like yours then good luck trying to achieve THAT look because it's NEVER gonna look like a real 'Fro. |

hay spatalian man! i raed somewhere that you can wrap your hair in tin foil and it will curl. you should probably put some gel or something in it, or wrap it when it's almost dry. comb it with an afro comb. i don't know if this works, i've never tried it, my hair's to long. good luck if you try it! ------------- |

Not true. There are rare exceptions. An elementary schoolmate (girl), caucasian, had a huge 'fro (light reddish blonde). ------------- |

To add to that some Pacific Islanders have huge afros. I've seen tons where I live. So do Jewish people, Mexican people, Europeans. Just look at the former band At the Drive-In (Texans and Mexicans)

| wrap your hair in tin foil? I hardly doubt that will work....I really would like this hair also, and I myself have buck straight hair, and I have come to the conclusion there is NO WAY to make your hair "AFRO" like hair... |

Someone else also mentioned perms. Asians don't do well with perms; it's rather contradictory. With the Asian hair type, scientifically it should be easier to perm Asian hair. But it isn't, and most Asian hair ends up fried after a trip to the salon for chemical processing... er.. overprocessing. "Some white kid", huh? Well he wasn't Asian with coarse porcupine hair like us! "Some white kid" has a waay better time perming than any given Asian. While some Asian hair may "mold" well when wet (like when I braid or bun damp hair, I get major waves) the waves and curls only stay for a few hours. I was gonna mention letting your hair dry in tight thin braids down the length, but that is (a) time-consuming and (b) will probably only work for non-Asians. AND it's only temporary. It's possible to have a "fro for a day" or even a couple weeks if one gets the right perm... but... Getting an afro is awful hard when you're not black. Hair gets rebellious when you try to make it something that it isn't. Anais Satin |

Hey now- ya'll no racial comments!!! Neways, dude, lol, get a perm and then tease your hair--- MAJORLY!! (Do u know what teasing is?) if not here's how: 1) pick up a strand of hair 2)get a comb and start brushing downward on the hair (like opposite of what u usually do) 3) do that to ur whole head 4) then when ur done, pick ur hair 5) and hairspray............ like the WHOLE bottle on ur head I think this might work, hope it does! ------------- I love everyone!!! Ya... even U!!! hehe ;) |

Hey Y'all For the record, I was not making a racial comment and I am sorry if anyone was offended. saying "some white kid" was my way of quoting another post. In our society we use the words "white" and "black" with no racial connotations (e.g. Black History Month, Black Music Awards, etc..) and I am Asian... so any comments about my own race are not meant negatively either. Again, I am sorry if anyone was offended. Anais |

My perm is growing out so my hair has slowly flattened. What I do when I want an afro for a day is to curl my hair to the roots with a 5/8 (pencil sized) curling iron. Then I tease it and my hair triples in size. You can use a crimper if you want to do it faster. The key is to tangle and tease your hair. I have an even bigger afro then my African-American neighbors when I do this. It's very time consuming and you'll lose some hairs prematurely. When you're done you'll look different. I've been told I look younger with an afro. Nice for a day, couldn't deal with it everyday though. Good luck. |

| I really have come to the conclusion there is no way to get an afro without a perm...no gel, hair product, technique or anything can make your hair an afro and stick, a temporary way would probully be a curling iron. But other than that you have to get a perm. |

just for everyone's info HAIR IS DEAD BY THE TIME IT GROWS OUT YOUR HAIR FOLLICLE. ok I'm glad I got that out. Hotsauce comment is so narrow minded, i am asian and right now my hair is in the process of growing an afro, not exactly the style i am screaming for. Hey Justin TImberlake had an afro didn't he? Well enough said, a picture, a good hairstylist, and a perm equals to a great afro. I seen some people here who had afros even if the had straight or wavy hair. You just gotta to spend some money to keep it nice ------------- ARGHH |

The Bush Doctor back in the 70's, who was called an expert at froes cause he did a infomercial at turning a caucauasion womens hair into a fro. He used laundry detergent to break the bonds of her hair ( which a perm does as well) then teased it and shaped it into a fro. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

Wait....so how did he exactly do it? Because I am seriously willing to do anything to get afro hair, even damaging my hair... |

The book did not go into details, it said he used some laundry detergent in a box and then washed it out, then teased and shaped her hair. Maybe you can do research on it or something. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |
