This is my hair...it looks neat right. Well you are in for a rude shock. Every morning I look at my hair an I know I cannot be caught dead in Nigeria walking around with these braids on my head. It costs N1500 near my house to get beautiful braids done by some girls from Benin (not Benin City, Benin the country). My aunt did her hair there once...million braids...for N3000. On a side note, a few words in their language sounds like my mothers mother tongue (Bini, Edo)...anyway, yes N1500 and thats with the hair and all. So there is absolutely no excuse to be carrying two month old (or more) braids in Nigeria.
This is another picture. I carry it around like this on most days. Packed up and out of my face. Braids have been a saving grace because I don't have to worry about my hair in the morning, just shower and dress up, voila, I'm done. So anyway as I was saying, it looks pretty good in this picture too right? I went to dinner with a british lady yesterday who said she ABSOLUTELY ADORES my hair. I was a bit shocked because I'm not sure she was talking about the same hair I was seeing in the mirror. Then I remembered she must be used to seeing old braids in London (no offence london 'pipo' (I hate that word) but some girls can be crowned old braid queens).
Get ready
Get Steady
Look at this
Every morning, I look in the mirror and sigh. Disgraceful. To take it off would be even more of a challenge so I just have to wait till I leave Romania....in a few weeks so don't be scared.
PS I wash it oh!
LAWL
The end.

Thanks for dissing us in London (me I don't do braids so I don't care, lol) but it costs at least £50 to do braids plus the hair... that's like ummm like N12,000 so sharrap!
Maybe the Brit lady thought the hair showing at the bottom was part of the look? Funny thing is - your hair never looks as bad as you think.
LOLLL!

lol.. funny post. Yeap some people have been known to carry braids for 6months. Some hair salon cost as much as 150pounds. lol.
LOL...From the side and back the hair looks very fine ohh... But the front...mmm...I understand well well. In Naija I used to carry hair for 2 weeks... 3 weeks max if I hadn't decided on what to change it to, now in America I'm taking 2 months+ to change braids and 6 weeks to change weaves...Hmm I don suffer.
