| No. There is no way you can do it with braids. My boy had braids a couple years ago (he's white) and when he unbraided them, it just made long wavy hair. Nothing like an afro. |

You wouldn't be able to get that style with braids because the guy in
the pic obviously has tight curls, not waves caused by braids.
You could try getting a perm rolled on tiny tiny rollers then
backcombing that and using a gel or other product to help it stick up. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Before you try chemicals ('cuz you might decide that it's not for you), try washing your hair with Ivory soap, air-drying it without combing it or towel drying, then use a pick to pick it out. The soup has a drying effect. If your hair is afro-possible, the Ivory soap will work. ------------- Charmaine |

thanks ladies i appreciate that. its kinda funny, everyone in my family has nappy afro hair, and fro some reason my hair is all straight - so im always getting teased with some not very nice jokes... lol
so i would love if at least for one week sport a fat afro.
charmaine - I will try the ivory soap, i dont get how it would work though? would it tangle the hair, my hair is only about three inches right about now. will try it still. |
