Nappy Afromaniac!

Afro: An afro, sometimes shortened to 'fro, is a hairstyle in which the hair extends out from the head like a halo or cloud. Some people wear their afros long, to several times the diameter of the head. An afro can be very difficult to maintain, requiring tight curls and often, but not always, coarse hair, which typically only people of indigenous African descent naturally have, hence its name. Virtually anyone can get an afro, however, by using curling tongs and hair gel. With naturally kinky hair, the spiralling, tightly coiled curls can be straightened out somewhat, giving the hair added volume and length, by first braiding the hair, then separating the coils using an afro pick. The afro pick is an adaptation of a traditional African grooming instrument, which is essentially a narrow comb with long, widely spaced teeth.

Got that definition from here.

I don't know why the afro went away honestly. It's so natural. Before I had one I used to admire people's afros and twists and braids, etc. I was fighting all these coils all the way, too. For years. Went in the bathroom one day and chopped off all my hair until it was a 1 inch baby 'fro. Muuuuuch better!

Here comes the indignance because you know I am a 1/4 indignant on my momma's side. Why the afro wigs? Huh? Why? They should be outlawed in at least 48 states. All the dillholes with afro wigs can hang around in the other two states. Who the hell in their right mind would chose to tie-dye their afro? What the devil?!

*Maglet makes claws and an angry face at the air* Grrrrrr....

My 'fro is MUCH bigger now... It IS like a halo. A super-curly halo.
