I wear shrunken afros like that once in a while. Though it looks effortless, it actually takes a while longer to style than a twist out because you have to shape & fluff it and then put it away at night. If you have thin hair, i wouldn't recommend it. if your ends hasn't been trimmed in a while, again, I wouldn't recommend it. I speak from experience. But its a nice style to wear every once in a while. it's very unique!<br />www.themanecaptain.blogspot.caAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781183683258691645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-50004531457672031142014-06-02T13:26:53.443+01:002014-06-02T13:26:53.443+01:00I have rocked an afro once but I didn't experi...I have rocked an afro once but I didn't experience that much of a tangle.

I can get away with it if I'm close to a wash day, or on day 3 of an old twist out or something( I don't style my hair to an afro on purpose). My major issue wasn't tangling (although I did get a few single strand knots) but my hair feeling super dry...it just couldn't retain moisture that well, compared to when I had my hair in another style.rhubarb skynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-43021444574604771572014-05-30T20:44:50.097+01:002014-05-30T20:44:50.097+01:00i once tried on a frohawk and went jogging, by the...i once tried on a frohawk and went jogging, by the time i wanted to comb the hair out, i hated myself. it was so tangled, breaking, dry and painful. ill think thrice next ticket...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128779519709675429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-60458128818446732202014-05-30T16:42:29.758+01:002014-05-30T16:42:29.758+01:00So true!

My hair is currently in an afro, been for the past six days, and I can imagine the shed hair on my next wash day. <br /><br />I find that deep conditioning on dry tangled hair helps reduce shed hair, and also to avoid tangling and still wear and afro, just pick it out. It wont be as defined, but it wont be as tangled either.<br /><br />http://www.fredafro.com/freda frohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13809442135405455452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-1146526650092649602014-05-30T13:47:03.658+01:002014-05-30T13:47:03.658+01:00Don't you think it's funny that something ...Don't you think it's funny that something as simple as an afro becomes a High Maintenance hairstyle?!Berry Dakarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228332437019976580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-18659170619536551592014-05-30T13:27:23.007+01:002014-05-30T13:27:23.007+01:00It depends on one's hair goals.

If one's goal is to retain length, then Afro is a definite no-no, but if one's goal is just beauty, versatility, creativity, style, then I'll say go for it.<br /><br />I personally don't wear my hair in Afros. My kind of hair cannot handle it. The last time I did was 2 years ago, and it was just for about 4 hours, between recording a TV episode and getting home. By the time, I got home, it was a total mess! No defined shape, tangles, knots, etc. Afro is definitely not in my hair dictionary again. Aint nobody got time for such high maintenance hairstyles.African Naturalistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959650242643247597noreply@blogger.com
