cornrows on "white-girl" hair?
Q. Next month, I'm going to a HOT country where I basically won't be able to wash my hair for 3 months. I have extremely thick hair. Due to the heat AND the fact I won't really be able to wash it, I'm considering getting my hair braided into cornrows and leaving it for 3 months. Does anyone know how this will affect my hair in the long-run? (Severe breakage... hair falling out... braids staying in... etc.)

What is the BEST hair style for an African American to wear if they are trying to grow their hair long?"?
Q. I want my hair to grow long and fast. But what is the best hair style to do that? Cornrows or Box Braids? I am a male...Thank You
Asked by Sonny B - Tue Oct 23 22:59:34 2007 - Hair - 4 Answers - Comments
A. For a male, cornrows are probably best. They give your hair a chance to rest specifically the ends. Your hair grows at about 1/2 inch a month. What makes it seem like it doesn't grow is the breakage. You should also wash your hair often at least once a week, you can put a stocking cap over your head to keep your braids from getting too frizzy, and be certain to keep your hair moisturized. That does not mean put grease on your scalp but it does mean use a moisturizing conditioner when you wash (DO NOT skip this step). Check out www.growafrohairlong.com for ideas on keeping your hair clean while in braids. The site is geared towards women, but you'll get the idea. You'll also see vitamins advertised.

How do you do "scene" hair from scratch, but with "African American" hair?
Q. I'm multiracial, but a lot of my family has nice hair, except for me! My hair is very thick and short. So, I like to try something different like "scene" hair, but I have no idea how to do it from scratch. Only from the salon, so i want to try it by myself, or with my mom. So can someone please help me? Thanxx alot! Rawr.
Asked by - Mon Jan 16 14:42:39 2012 - Hair - 4 Answers - Comments
A. First you need to straighten it, until its really straight or straight enough for you to shape. Then get some hairspray and spray it all over. You will then need to *poof* it up a bit and make it bigger using your hands and spray it again. If you want it really big, try back combing it and spraying after. Straighten - spray - poof it up - spray - and maybe back comb for bigger effect - spray And your done ! :) Hope this helps x
