Hi, I'm mixed and I don't exactly like my hair. It's shiny and is made up of loose curls. Is there some sort of chemical or technique I can use to get my hair nappy, like these asian people did in these photos: http://www.d9.dion.ne.jp/~nejimaki/flash/work/photo.html Specifically this photo: http://www.d9.dion.ne.jp/~nejimaki/flash/work/200208_1.jpg |

Interesting. Some (not all) of those photos, the hair looks weaved in or looks like a wig.
It is possible for you to dread your hair if that's what you want to do. ------------- http://members.fotki.com/HairGrower/about/ - Check out my hair!

Yeah, I was planning on getting dreadlocks. But I would still like to know if it is at all possible to get my hair like that. |
