i just got back from bein out all morning/afternoon...whew! earlier this morning i went to the hair salon by my apartment cuz i had an appointment to get my hair trimmed--earlier this year i decided to stop frying my hair with relaxers and let it grow out into a 'fro.

the woman who did my hair was an absolute sweetheart (and she's a prince fan, too--"call my name" came on the muzak system at one point and she was singin along with it...heh ) and she did a fabulous job on shortening my hair. i left my bangs long and had 'em pressed so they're still long and straight--the rest of my hair is in TWA (teeny-weeny afro) status. it'll be a couple months before i end with an angela davis-sized 'fro--yes, my hair grows very long and it'll get that huge--but right now i am sooooo happy to be rid of the relaxed hair. yay for my new 'do!!! it's at times like this when i wish i had a digital camera so i could take a quick pic of myself so ya'll can see what i look like now...

anyone else here got a 'fro?

Very cool

I wish we could see

You have a fro?

Smooches;)

Reminds me of that scene in "The Color Purple" when Whoopi is combing the little girls hair and she's screaming her head off But then, MR. stands up and slaps the taste out her mouth....

Smooches;)

I never had nappy hair (my brother does though), but when my mom combed my hair it hurt like hell! Momma just isn't very gentle in most cases I guess.

rofl You can say that again I remember the type of knots I would get in my hair a child. You'd be like shit is that a nest or a knot?lol

No, Dansa, I don't have an afro. I jut got a caeser a few days ago, as a matter of fact. However, every once in a blue moon I do like to grow my hair out into an afro so that I'll have long hair and maybe figure out what else I could do with it.

See if you could spot the guy with the 'fro & shades smiling. That would be NWF.

Damn link's not working!!!!!

OK, let me know if y'all could see the pic now.

Wish I could grow my hair out into an afro.....but I've got the white folks version of curly hair. Just doesn't work the same.

POST A PIC!

When I was little I had the biggest muthafuckin blonde afro you've ever seen. Then I grew another one a year back but made me look real fat so I cut it. (I'm vain).
