In june this year, one of my beautiful friends Inonge, asked
me to be one of her bride’s maids. I was more than excited, you ask why????????
This was the first time a friend of mine was asking me to be a bride’s maid.
*Feeling proud*
Being a bride’s maid means routine dancing, pretty dresses,
hot shoes etc but I was not worried about all that, I was more concerned about
what I would do with my hair. Deep down my heart I wanted to wear my fro to
that wedding but I knew it was up to the bride to decide how my hair should
look on that day. I hoped and hoped that she would let me wear my hair natural.
Well, Inonge had 6 bride’s maids in total and guess what????
She asked us to pair up and choose 3 hairstyles , one for each pair.
The first pair chose to weave their hair, the second pair
chose to do braids (masai) and the third pair (me and my partner in crime Tints)
chose to wear our hair natural. *sigh* knowing that i was allowed to wear my hair was exciting but then came the choosing of a style that would work for both me and Tints.
My favourite Teyona Paris updo wouldn't work for both of us because of the difference in lengths. I had to come up with something and well i settled for the 'good old bantu knot out', simply because it has never disappointed me and it looks great on any length.
I believe pictures speak louder than words, so sit back,
relax and enjoy……
