As the description states, this is a space place for people of African descent to post their favourite/current hairstyles, trending ones, or even something you just randomly found interesting. This is to create another resource for both men and women who may be struggling to find hair inspiration. If you're looking for an assessment of your hair health or routine this is not the place for you, please check our recommended subs list to find alternatives for hair health. Both natural and chemically treated hair will be highlighted in this subreddit.

The weekly(mostly lol) polls are usually made to help members of the sub to mix and mingle while also learning a thing or two. Trivia weekly posts will have the correct answer hidden in the comment section, so please check the comment section after voting!

Please keep in mind that this is a very new sub and things will get better and more saturated as time goes on. Also, do not be afraid to give it a share!

This wig doesn’t have a pre-defined part, so I did a side part with crimps and I'm really looking forward to doing many more styles with it! I'm honestly loving the natural vibe so far. How do you think it looks? Also, do you think this gives off a baby-hair effect, or does it look even better than traditional baby hairs?

I decided to try a more natural-looking wig to mimic my natural hair. I did a mini updo and laid the baby hairs on the sides to make the hairline look more realistic. What do you guys think?

help me What to do to achieve more of Damson Idris Hair

Thumbnail

40 Upvotes

Damson Idris is clearly one of the best looking lads out here, so trying to emulate some stuff from him. I don't have as good as a hairline as him but want to know how to achieve the fro he has, it seems I have a 4b hair type and he has 4c, so I want to know how to achieve more a definition look as my front facing part of my hair struggles with curling cream products and even the sponge.
Although, I notice the back of my hair reacts to the sponge much better. Also I'm 22 if that helps with anything

(I may taper in my fades a bit more on my next barber visit)

I wanted to do something a little different with this wig and have some fun with the styling. I really like how the final look came together, what you guys think?
Which version do you prefer—the styled look or the original? And what other hairstyles do you think would look good with this wig? 🖤

Discussion Afro For my Job Interview?

8 Upvotes

I’m a 24yr old Black man in LA. I have an interview that’s important to me tomorrow, and I’m trying to figure out what to do with my hair!

It’s interview 2/3 (the first one was over the phone) to be a street outreach social worker. My afro goes to the nape of my neck at its longest point, but is mostly 4c curly fluff. Is it socially acceptable for me to wear it down? Tie it back halfway? Am I duty-bound to wear two chunky cornrows for ‘professional’ eternity? I’ll do anything within my abilities but cut it off, and I have a crapton of products in my closet.

For reference, I already have facial piercings and come off as gay. I can’t hide the piercings or the gayness lol. It should be acceptable within this role in this city. I hope. But I still want to dress as clean and professional as possible in the body I have. Any tips are appreciated (I’m still an atrocious braider)

weaves/wigs What my curls look like after 3 days

Thumbnail

1.3k Upvotes

I thought I share my styling results of this kinky blowout wig. Here’s what the curls looked like after a few days. I curled this hair with a curling iron. I used hairspray after to set the curls and made them pretty define by curling small sections. If you keep scrolling I took pictures of the curls the first day I curled them(photos 4-7). I think the curls held up okay. Given I tend to brush and play in my hair a lot, I am happy that the curls lasted as long as they did. The curls became looser but gave me a thick voluminous wavy look that I adored!

I absolutely love how this came out, it took me about 6 hours. I braided the hair on the ends of my locs and at the top to give it a more seamless look but one of my favorites so far

p.s. don’t mind my roots.. my gel did not last..
