Afrocentric


The lady in this picture has a beautiful afro. Her afro looks like a result of her having her hair braided for a month and finally taking the braids out. The afro hair you see is actually all weave. She had this afro weave sewn into her hair. Sew-in weaves usually look extremely natural, as hers does. The hair fits her face perfectly. The afro looks a little wild, yet tamed all at the same time. It seems to me like she even has a long afro bang on one side, which is swooped near her eye. The afro is neither too long nor too short. It is just right for her face. The dark color of the hair, brings out her skin complexion nicely. This hairstyle to me is an afrocentric look. I would say that is a Hair Do!

The Fro Has Got To Go!


I want to declare this afro a Hair Don't from the start. Prior to the "fro", I had cornrowed braids in my hair and I took them out. The horrible afro was the result of taking out my braids. My hair was crimpy and nappy all at the same time. I was at home when this photograph was taken, so I really didn't care if my family saw my bad hair. I wouldn't ever go outside with this hairstyle though. Here are a few suggestions to improving the hairstye: Pull it back into a ponytail and put a head-band over the hair, Re-braid the hair and apply a weave to it, or Get a perm and have the hair straight and silky. Again, this afro hairstyle is definitely a Hair Don't!
