I should have taken this class in the fall, it is only the 1st week and already time consuming ARGH !!!



Oooooo, I'm sorry sweetie. I thank GOD I"m not in school right now! Sorry Asante. blush.gif

Are you home Steph? What happened with the dresses? You've probably posted this somewhere, but I'm still catching up.






Hey Zainab

I am glad you made it through your last two days, I know they were difficult for you.

Yes I made it home this weekend and my dress is 95 percent finished. You know Ghana it needs to be cleaned and ironed and i SHOULD PROBABLY LOOSE A COUPLE OF POUNDS (cause it is fitted and my train is way to long). But, other than that everything is good thanks for asking.

I have a meeting with my wedding party this weekend and everyone will try them on, I'll take some finished pics and post them.

Good morning all

I started a thread with a link to some pictures of my dresses. The dresses were not completely finshed BUT I WAS SOOOO EXCITED to finally see them; I had to post.

Yep very easy to maintain. I wash and go or wash braid and go. Every other month I use SL moisturizer but other than that I don't use any product on my hair.

I love them and would advise them to any one who wants locks.

Sorry!! the first picture is SL at 2 years 1 month that pic was taken New Years day 2008. This picture is SL 2 years 6 months taken last month in Ethiopia. The other is one of my favorite pictures of the children at a model school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia April 2008.

I gave Zainab my Ghana number and she gave me Bassi's, if all goes well we can meet up.

Mmm Hmmm! It does give you a new appreciation for hair. Girl, talk about mini fro after washing! My hair has always been thick, but now that it is all natural it is way thick! I didn't do a big chop. I was too afraid of wearing short hair. I was doing mini chops on my hair. When it grew out inch by inch I'd cut the old perm ends off until they were all gone. I love messing with the NG too. lol! Although, I did wear braids for a good long while while transitioning. I didn't like braids too much either because after I took them down I'd get a lot of shedding. I know that shedding was normal after braids, but I just couldn't get used to it. I used to do my own braiding. I have never had [i]healthy and natural hair before. I also never thought I'd say those two words in one sentence either, natural and healthy...and it's getting long! I've had perms and jheri curls pretty much all my life. I had the Jheri curls up til high school and then I got a perm during 12th grade up til December 2007.

I think I will check out that Motowngirl site and see what it's all about. Yep, that shrinkage will fool anybody. Once you stretch it, it is like abracadabra! I've learned that S-curl spray is the bomb for my hair as well as Aubrey Organics shampoo and conditioner! Product junkie is and understatement for me. I have a whole closet full of junk and a big box full at the bottom of my closet. I think I will sell on Ebay.lol!


LOL @ you doing mini chops. I was afraid to wear mine really short, too. I let it grow in braids/twists until I had about 2 inches of new growth and then I did the BC. I put it back in braids that very same day, lol. I STILL play with my NG. I love feeling the waviness of it. cool.gif Yes, all of the hair shedding that comes with braids can be intimidating and you feel as if you will be bald if you continue to wear them. I read that people generally shed over 100 strands of hair per day, so if you have braids up for a few months then all of that shedded hair can be a shocker.

Please do check out Motowngirl because there was so much information on natural hair care that I didn't know where to start and I found it to be a good place to start. I've heard that Aubrey Organics can work wonders. I have yet to try it. I know what you mean about all of the junk. I have three plastic bins in my bathroom full of stuff and that doesn't even include the rest under the sink. One bin is for my essential oils, one is for my hair sprays, bottles and moisturizers, and the other is for my CONDITIONERS!

QUOTE (forchika @ Jun 21 2008, 09:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Interesting ladies!!!!! I too have been toying with that same idea and have felt the same way you both have. I have permed my hair since age 13 and I was one of the ones who would go to see my hair dresser every week. It's been about almost a year since I have seened her. I have been doing my own perms and my hair is not doing all that great I thought about doing the natural thing so many times and would go about two months without a perm. Then it would get to where I could not deal with it and I would just perm my hair again. I am in fear I guess because I know nothing about caring for unpermed hair and how to get it managable or how to style it. Hopefully I will get up enough nerve to go ahead and do it. I plan to check out those sites also. Thanks for the tips!!!!!


Your story is similar to many natural stories. That was basically how mine was...once you start doing your own perms, then all hell can break loose on your hair. Like I said, go check out both of the sites and see how you feel about it. The main key to natural hair is keeping it MOISTURIZED and CONDITIONED. Your hair will be so manageable and soft once you find a good routine to keep it full of moisture. I intend to keep it natural, but getting a press every once in a while. There are many many styles that are available for natural women, but you just have to break past the myth that "natural is hard to maintain". Let me know what you decide to do. smile.gif


QUOTE (ZeeNusah @ Jun 21 2008, 02:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
When I was in high school I permed my hair. Never again. I have been all natural since then and my hair is just past my shoulders. If I use a flat iron it adds a few more inches. My hair is the kind that is really curly but falls nice. No idea what I ever permed it smile.gif


Do you like being natural? Wow, there seems to be so many of us on here. I know Radical Lover is, too, and I think Asante Maroon, also. Your hair sounds really nice and low maintenance. biggrin.gif

QUOTE (nopalavar @ Jun 21 2008, 03:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am just reaching shoulder length, but when it is shampooed and dried it is like a small afro. I hate when it shrinks like that. When a small touch of water hit my hair, it will revert. Summer time is coming and I dread how it will look then. I may just opt for braids or wear an afro puff.

By the way LL, your friend hair looks very thick and healthy too. It look like it would be long after she press it.


LOL, I know what you mean about it reverting instantly. You can try to keep it looking longer with braid outs and twist outs. Those styles help to show a little length. Yes, that picture shows pressed vs non-pressed. Her hair was closer to her bra line.

Hey Lovin


Tell me about it. I was natural for about 7 years before I got sisterlocks. My fro used to be so short (TWA) teenie weenie fro, and when I pressed it out it wuld come down my shoulders. I would also be amazed. I love my locks but I miss the versality of my natural styes.


Happy 2 B Nappy


YOU TOO!!!! I didn't know you were one of "us", LOL! Oooh, speeaking of sister locs, the same friend that I posted before (her name is Free), she just got her SL in December. Hers are beautiful. I think I actually like SL better than the regular ones, even though I say I will never get locs. Free is trying to convince me to get some, but I keep telling her "mayyybe", lol. I love how they look, but I always love the ability to change my styles and like you said, the lack of versatility would get to me after a while. Here are some pictures of her new Sisterlocs:

You are a goddess for doing all of that. I'm so through with "wedding" stuff, I'm thinking about a BBQ in the back yard! I'm serious! I can't wait to see everyone in your wedding party, I just know it's going to be beautiful!

Uno, by the time Zee and I get to Ghana, poor Chris will be in hiding wondering if all the VJ ladies are on their way across the ocean! As my girlfriend says, Don't make me go Brooklyn on you!


For sure ph34r.gif

OMG, I want this wedding to be done with already. So many things to do with so little time. I have people half way around the world planning things, buying things, coordinating things. This is not good for my health.

Someone wakke me up when it is all over.


Just keep your weddings on the DL so that Bassi won't find out I'm slacking!

Post some pics when you get back please, I want to see those dresses !



Hey Omoba

I will.. I have to post pics to the bridemaids, they have only seen my drawing of the design of the dress and are probably a little nervous. I have women from size 0 to size 26 and none can imagine how a dress will look nice on all of them. I already know that West African clothes are very forgiving and can accomodate any size woman and make her look beautiful. So, they are all awaiting the results of the dress, and I will post some of the pics here.

This whole wedding has gotten so out of hand I am dumbstruck.. and excited at the same time.

I started out wanting 3 bridemaids and now I have 11. I carried over a 180 yards of fabric on the plane can you imagine? My female family members all want to wear West African clothes, so I have atleast 20 dresses, 15 men's tuxedo vest, my mothers 4 outfits she wants to have backup dresses just in case (what tha he!!?) plus my clothes to make. The seamestress is going to want to beat me when she sees all this fabric. Gotta love Ghana a whole bridalparty's worth of clothes in under 1 week.

I have told all the bridemaids that the clothes will fit them perfectly, if anyone losses or gains weight I am going to have there head, I lied and told them there is no place in Chicago to alter the clothes. The wedding is in August and we don't have room for alterations.

Sorry I was ranting blink.gif

Good morning people!!! Wake up!!!!


I'm here. The snow is horrible wet snow here, but not quite a foot yet. So, I'm here at work. My daughter is with her father today, we take turns taking off for the snow days. Have you ever felt connected to your SO in a wierd way? I woke up this morning at 2:45. That's 7:45 in Accra. I looked around the room, checked on my daughter and went back to sleep. This morning when I spoke to Bassi he told me he was at the Embassy at 7:45 this morning. Isn't that wierd? It's like we're somehow connected. Anyway, he didn't get anywhere, but they told him to come back at 2. I haven't heard from him, so who knows what happened. I'm trying not to think about it too much. I've had enough disappointment in this process. I won't let my hopes get up anymore. I hope my neighbor plows my snow while at work.

That sounds exciting, what kind of fabric ? What kind of dresses are you thinking of getting ?


Afternoon everyone.....

I finally picked out a fabric color for my bridal party the darker green the fabric is Raw Silk, the fabric looks shinny in the picture but it is not. Sorry I could not figure how to just insert the picture without the link.

What do you ladies think about the color?

Thanks

Chispas sounds very peaceful ....hope you have a nice time.

On Saturday my plans include hanging out with my brides maids and checking out wedding halls, and picking out a shade of fabric for their dresses.... headbonk.gif

The sad part is I'm kind of looking forward to it unsure.gif ........but not really wacko.gif .

Awe thanks Omoba

The bride-maids will have two dresses one in western fabric (something that flows and sways July wedding) designed in a native style probably a 2 piece for the ceremony and the first set of pictures, and then we will all change into native traditional attire during the reception for the dancing and spraying.


Yeah it is kind of exciting. My wedding dress is being sewn in Ghana and all of our traditional attire is coming from a Nigerian tailor in London.

We got the same RFE on our AOS, needed original birth certificate....we also used Affidavit of Age...anyway we jumped through thier hoops and they were happy,(his sister back home went and got the BC for us at the place they designated and mailed it to us) once we were at the interview, they tried another curve ball with the fact that he did not have his chicken pox vaccine so we went to one of thier MDs ( he was like 100 years old LOL) who was close by, paid the $105 got the vaccine and went back for our approval!!! They just llike to freak us out !!! You will be fine good.gif



Wow..I wonder if this is a common issue. Cuz my hubby has a "Declaration of Age" that was done by his father at a courthouse, and it is a sworn statement with a magistrate stamp on it. Hmmmm... Maybe I should have him try to get something else while he is still there, instead of waiting till we file the AOS. Where should he go?



What you are describing is what we had as well, but we had to go get a BC. When they sent us the RFE it said where to go...but when you send the docs back in you send the "RFE request" back as well, I am not sure if I still have it, but I will see if I can get more info from his sister....as to where she went.



Thanks so much...I would really appreciate it. If he can get something before he leaves it would be much better. We haven't even had the interview yet, and I'm already stressing the AOS...!! blink.gif no0pb.gif




ose n me slow down not everyone has problems with the declaration of age. stop stressing.
