Any new hair cuts you got or are getting for this summer, my negroid familia?
I'm still waiting for my hair to grow out so I can get pic related.
Saw this guy on youtube planning to get this kind of cut pham when my hair grows enough
Came across this and thought it was pretty cool
>>11339347
>>11338595
No homo but that shit looks tight. That facial hair is great.
>>11339344
I would have more respect if the kid grew some hair on his face.
>>11339347
>>11338595
I had this, and had to cut it off to get a job
>>11338595
isnt the dread fade (dreads in general in fact) out of fashion now? seems like every Atlanta trap rapper and his mother is rocking some form of dread
>>11340155
I'm not American, so it will look pretty new here
Are there even any other effay hair cuts for blacks? Because I rarely see anything original anyways.
>>11338595
2014
>>11340257
Earlier this year. Hair's currently two inches longer than in this pic.
Hope everyone's having a good day.
>>11340257
I sort of have this hair, hangs a little less. Have had it for a few years and am getting bored of it, suggestions welcome, I do have a enormous forehead so keep in mind..
>>11340282
hmm, i'd suggest twist outs.
>>11340266
Good hair. Your face matches it nice, too.

Why the fuck would I go for a boring white person's haircut.
how to grow hair faster
>>11341281
L.O.C method
Seeing this made me think
Basquiats style has gotta be due for a comeback, big-ass hair with the tastefully coloured suits. I wish i didnt buzz last month
Do fades really help with growing an afro? I thought you had to have even hair all around.
>>11341388
I never heard of that but I noticed in my experience, my hair on the sides of my head grow faster than the top.
Also, a nice tapered afro looks heaps cooler than a regular afro.
Pic not me
>>11341388
Not black, but there is no such thing as even hair, your hair grows at different speeds in multiple places on your head.
The art is knowing which grows when and catching it before it becomes an issue with your style
ay f.am, what ya'll think bout dis. Dat shit be dope yo!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKeYN06pvG8
thinking about doing hte loc method.... but how do people apply all this stuff to their hair without it itching?
>>11341297
Didn't even know about this
>>11341475
Is this what white humor is?
>>11342207
haha yes ROFL
>>11341475
he looks like a bosozoku
>>11341495
>>11341297
I cannot recommend L.O.C. >>11341281
honestly here's what I've learned after growing out my hair three times.
1. The time it takes to grow hair is much less important than how well you can retain your hair length IE how well you reduce shedding of whole strands and broken strands when knotted.
2. Stretching the hair and or protective styles reduce tangling/matting/knotting.
3. Low manipulation: don't change your hair everyday
4. Less products the better. I'm trying to reduce my product usage down to occasional oiling, semi-regular spritzing with water and a deep conditioner/treatment. I did well before with it but hair changes.
Black folks had long hair before daily cowashing and moisturizers, idk that's just my view point. Hair ain't that fragile.
>tfw it will take me ages to grow my hair out like this
Still waiting.
>>11342330
Not any to them. But I've never tried LOC. I wanna try it and grow mine faster since mines slow as shit.
>>11342460
The only thing that can increase hair growth itself is diet. Products cannot fix that, take a good quality multivitamin and have an active workout.
My freeform dreads right now
>>11343230
downie nigger
>>11343230
They need to get way longer
>>11343253
What does that even mean
>>11343236
No shit dude been growing them for 2 months
>>11343291
you have down syndrome
>>11343299
k
Pic related is my goal
i usually (compulsively) shave my sides (no gaurd with the clippers on max length so ~0.5 shave) on the weekly, but ive been trying to hold out to get it long enough to get a fade. am i there yet or do i need to grow it out more
>>11343310
How long do you think that'll take?
>>11343555
can barely tell with that quality. almost maybe.
>>11343605
Maybe a year
>>11343605
Human hair grows about half an inch a month and short locks take a while before length begins to show so probably 1.5 to 2 years
Do this mang
>>11341248
He's look better with a different haircut imo
>>11343695
>>11344006
jesus christ, that's a long time
>>11341475
looks more like a white guys haircut.
Just got this fresh new cut, how do I look?
>>11344006
It won't take THAT long.
Being black with a receding hairline is the worst
Can do shit with this
>>11340857
god tier
>>11343555
why not just go to a professional barber and ask them to fade it for you. your sides look raggedy as fuck
>>11344006
>>11343695
How the hell would that take a year or two, my hair was just about half that long after 2 years, although that could be because it's 4c
>>11344569
post it, it might not be as bad as you think.
>>11344758
It depends on how long your hair is when you start it. If you start off really short and take into account how long it takes for locks to fully mature, then it can take up to 1.5 to 2 years. Obviously it can be quicker, it's different for everyone
>>11344228
Haha that joke wasn't made a few posts back haha
>>11343622
>>11344626
i went to a barber today and it looks like every time ive ever cut my own hair :// RIP 15 bucks
>>11343555
>>11344626
>>11344883
i asked for a skin fade but its really high so it just looks as shaved as usual
>>11343555
>>11344942
Im ur biggest fan
>>11342246
sometimes i wish i was bosozoku
>>11345129
thanks bro i love you
should i just cut this? my hairline isn't great. terrible picture, i know.
letting your hair lock up naturally in time will make your hair look tight as fuck no lie. it's interesting to see what your hair does too, it depends on the person, good idea to keep shit looking fresh too. ignore the hate, i think natural hair have always been seen as cool and unique
>>11342330
yep, all of these are very true. I've grown my hair to mid-back twice (had to cut it for surgery, but it's at collar bone length again).
I have like 3C curl pattern so it's easier for me compared to someone with 4C curls.
>>11344942
this is pretty innovative, looks good
No clue what to do with my hair.
4c means growth is slow as hell, should I even bother with protective hair styles to speed things up?
idek I'm pretty satisfied with my hair but I've had this style in varying lengths for 3 years now.
>>11345377
Yes. You shouldn't have an Afro above the age of 13 imo.

>>11343230
You really need to grow a beard man.
What shampoo and conditioner you niggas using.
I'm just using generic white people shit I pick up at the shop I need to start levelling up my shit.
Trying to start that LOC method which oil should I use. Probably use just water as the liquid and then probably some of that Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie as the cream.
>>11344942
daamn that's nice
>>11347193
coconut oil is great, senpai
>>11347189
drop the shampoo pick up shea moisture leave-in
>>11347215
Does it matter what kind of coconut oil?
I see some that's more like a liquid that you spray and some that looks more like a cream. Is there a difference?
Would these products be good for starting LOC?
Coconut oil:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Organic-Raw-Virgin-Coconut-500ml/dp/B00E9VXD9G/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1464630728&sr=1-1&keywords=COCONUT+OIL
Shea moisture:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MXD6GBY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3QUEQ1ZV7BBMK
What else do I need? Also I heard shea has a really strong smell, if it's not rec'd what is an alternative?
>>11341321
That's a cool ass texture. How do???
>>11347252
get pure coonut oil. most stuff has shit added to it that makes hair feel heavy and gross like petroleum jello. If its legit then the stuff should kinda melt into a liquid when it sits on your hand or when it gets hot.
I think I made a grave mistake with my hair, anyone want to see?
>>11347470
RIP me
>>11347493
Those are just braids, right? Unbraid them, it's no big deal
>>11347508
Do they look like shit?
>>11345377
would be alrigt if you got rid of facial hair.
I say you can have facial hair or head hair but not both.
>>11347512
yeah they look pretty dumb. Who did them? You should try corn rows going back instead

>>11347530
My mother, now I'm worried about going into work tomorrow, fml. Might shave it all off soon
>>11347540
dont fucking shave it off, you just have to unbraid your hair You know how to unbraid right? Its pretty simple.
>>11347549
Is it bad to the point where people would look at me weird? I know about unbraiding but I'm just worried that long hair doesnt suit me in general
>>11347557
people have hair like that out all the time. I just personally dont like it because thats how mine look before I go to sleep so I feel like its a lazier look to do. White people look st black people hair weirdly anyway already they wouldnt be able to tell a difference so its fine. Post a pic with your hair as it normally if you dont know if long hair suits you.
>>11347570
Would I be made fun of by blacks at work? There's quite a few there.
How about here? I'm so insecure I know lol. I'm sorry, I've never had any real direction when it comes to hair and I'm pretty autistic...
>>11347608
don't apologize for shit, dude. If you had just posted this picture with no apologizes and confidence people would see you so differently. I like your hair and I think you just have to believe in yourself more.
>>11347608
why are you grabbing your armpit? thats pretty gross
>>11347537
This is what happens when middle school is out
>>11347601
are you underage? Is "work" a "classroom" by any chance? Because no one gives a fuck about your hair it looks like your mom braided your hair for you, which is normal people wear thei hair like that, it's okay. Be confident little anon, it's the only thing that matters.

I like your hair in 2014 are you mixed or did you do something with it?
>>11347608
Did you look totally cool in this photo
>>11348344
You do know it's possible for black people to have different texture hair without being mixed, right? The same way white people can have straight, wavy, or curly hair, black people can have coily or curly hair.
hourly reminder that black lives don't matter
>>11348595
I know but some textures come from mixed, I was just asking
posting insp
I was thinking about getting the dread+fade look. Would this look good on me?
>>11349256
it'll look good on anyone son trust go for it B-)
>>11342446
God tier curls, shit tier cut. Looks like he got a fade and then grew everything out.
>>11343230
You're super cute. N-no homo.
Once they grow out a bit, you'll be great. Might take about a year or so, though. This to this advice, this anon is right >>11342330

As far as coconut oil goes you can use anything as long as it's 100% pure.
Not sure what alternatives are for the second one. Using shea butter is just that common. I use this one
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00OVQUQHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
>>11347265
Coconut oil may make your hair dry and brittle. You may want to use a smaller sample and test it first.

The reviews on this seem kinda bad tho.
>>11349787
Thanks, I'll try that then.
>>11338595
How the hell do I find a barber? I just moved up to Wisconsin and to say the least, there are few black people. My hair is looking full on JUST mode.
>>11349898
I live in Germany. Guess how hard it is to find a black barber.
When I saw a black guy I just asked him where he goes to cut his hair.
>>11348868
Hi. I'm Afro-Dominican. So my whole family tree is mixed pretty much.
If you're planning on letting your hair grow this length, be prepared to not leave the bathroom for like an extra 45+ minutes taking care of it before you leave the house lol. I think it was like 7 inches long (give or take, due to shrinkage).
Have a good one!
If anyone needs suggestions on what oil to use, I recommend avocado oil. Other oils just sit on top of hair strands whereas avocado oil actually penetrates it. It's also odorless unlike coconut and olive oil.
>>11350077
>be prepared to not leave the bathroom for like an extra 45+ minutes
How long does it take for most of you guys spend on your hair? For me it's 25 to 30 minutes for my hair
