More black women embrace the beauty of natural hair The Tennessean
Hair is more than hair for Starla Officer. It’s a statement of who she is.
Ten years ago, Officer, now 33, decided to stop using relaxers on her hair and go natural.
After trying transitional styles for 10 months, she went for the Big Chop, often known as the B.C., and started sporting a T.W.A. — a teeny weeny afro. She so adopted the natural hair movement that when her stylist moved, Officer bought the salon. The business eventually closed, but she remains a staunch advocate of natural hair for African-American women and wears hers in locs — a style where the hair “locks” together as it grows.
“I consider hair to be not only personal grooming and maintenance, but personal self,” she said. “It’s also a statement of your identity.”
More African-American women are opting to go natural, with styles ranging from afros of varying lengths to braids to locs to hair straightened with heat rather than sodium hydroxide and other chemicals.
For the previous generation of African-American professional women, relaxed hair was a version of the white soccer mom’s blunt cut.

african braids??
shall i do african braids??i really like it but im afraid that i ll get bord of them guick.....im blond will long hair...everybody says it shoots me....i have an apoitment on friday...
I think your hair probably would not hold up with the african type braids as african hair is normally corser and thicker and blond hair is usually thinner and there are less blond hairs normally on a head than even on a brunnette head of hair. You would probably end up with many split ends and your hair would be damaged later. I bet your blond hair is pretty now.
blond hair is sweet anyway :)
african braids? never heard it called that before. Well it's up to you sweetie. If that's what you like then get it done but it might not stay in very long. So i suggest instead of making an appointment just get one of your friends to braid your hair really quick. And no..black people aren't the only ones that can braid hair...lol
Does anyone know where to find an African braiding shop in Chicago that braids small and do good work?
looking for a good African braiding shop in Chicago, IL that does good small micro-braids
Personally, I would check Yelp Chicago. They have reviews and listings of shops that do braids. You can search by neighborhood, which makes it so much easier.
is there a way to make my hair grow thick enough for african braids?
i have quite thin hair(the hairs themselves, i have a reasonably amount of it though), i really want african braids, but i think that it wouldn't go into enough braids, and it would look kinda stupid on me, is there a way to make my hair grow thicker so that african braids would look good on it?
and its not only that i want reasonably thick braids, i want there to be enough, like i dont want like just ten braids or whatever
Maybe try some of the thickening shampoos and conditioners.
I have thin hair too, I'm African American and have natural hair. Even with my hair texture, my braids turn out skinny.
I've used weave twice to make my braids thicker. They turned out much thicker, but I don't like the way my hair feels when the weave is removed.
Good Luck!

Whats the difference between micro braids and african braids?
micro braids tend to be very thin and combined almost look like a perm and are straight from the scalp-there are usually a million or zillion of them and they are often referred to as zillions
african braids are thick and lay on the scalp-there are usually no more than 20 braids-they are often referred to as dookie braids
both styles require that packaged hair be used-it is rare for a woman or man to have either of these styles without using additional fake or human hair
i hope this helps you understand
African braids how long should u keep the extentions in?
My friend wants to know cuz she kept them in for 5 months once and it didn't end well. I thought i might ask so i could tell her. she's black by the way.
2 months after that u gon need a perm
you should keep them in for 2-3 months no longer
tell her to check out this website, it has a lot of good information on braids

It can depend on the type of braid also (micro, kinky, box...etc) but 5 months is usually too long no matter what.
How to dye African braids?
I have African braids with synthetic hair. I was told not to wash my hair because the braids might slip out. I'm using a medicated braid spray to control the itchiness, but now I want to dye my hair to cover the grey. Does anyone know how I can complete the dyeing process when I can't shampoo the dye color out?
please dont' dye because you may not get all the dye out from in between the braid. their is a color hair spray that you can buy and you just spray it in and then when you are ready you can wash it out. or their is a hair pencil and if you don't wanna use that use a eye brow pencil. And because your hair is synthetic and not human yes you can wash it as much as you want. I hope that I have helped you.
how to start individual African braids?
anyone know any websites/video to help me?
How can I find out the cost fo getting African type braids with extention in my hair? In Maylaysa.?
Would like to be able to compare price range in U.K with price in Malaysia as holidaying there shortly, and believe much cheaper overseas.

Will I get a job if I have african braids in?
Hey I am just wondering if I apply for a job I wouldn't get hired because of my hair. I have heard in many cases where women haven't gotten hired because they refused to change there hair.
If you look nice and neat I don't see a problem.
