Don’t hate me – I love Joseline Hernandez’s hair!
….in the Black Men magazine cover shoot that is, I know this shoot was done earlier this year but her hair in this picture looks awesome and gorgeous.

Check out the top half of the cover below – look at the length of the waves and curls and the look, gorgeous!

From Copenhagen to London – Malaika’s story on black hair
Hair is personal to all women especially black women. Malaika is a Danish-Tanzanian marketing officer in London who had several things to say about her relationship with her hair. Charcoal Ink caught up with her for her unique global perspective and how that’s coloured her view on black hair:
On her memories with hair:
I kind of just go with the flow. My whole childhood and teen years was just my afro strapped up in a ponytail as I didn’t have many options. Then I colored my hair blond and got extensions in which was pure impulse. I didn’t really like the feeling of heavy hair on top of my own so I took them out and bought clip-on hair so I can take it out in the evening and wash my hair!
On the differences between Denmark & London on black hair & Afro hair trends:
The Return of the Afro Mohawk – April 2013
For more pictures of the Afro Mohawk, please add me on Facebook 
I got this done just now at the local salon – hair wash, blow-dry and she styled it in an afro-mohawk. I have to say, I am a definite blow-dry addict who needs to cut down on how much I do it but I love the results at the same time. It’s so hard! I wasn’t feeling sexy, got my hair down and now I feel GOOD.

New cornrows for this January’s hot ass weather in Dar-es-Salaam!
I got my hair cornrowed yesterday at the salon. I am trying to dress for success by sorting out my hair style situation by being protective. I took a Perfectil vitamin as well today because I am trying to improve the condition of my hair, skin and nails.
This is the year of improvement – improving my finances, business, beauty and my personal life situation.

New cornrow hairstyle for November 2012
This is my one week old cornrow hairstyle that I got done at a new salon. It was a mixed experience getting the hair done but I think it looked really good when it got done but my hair is super thick and it shows in the pictures that it can strain the cornrows.
When’s the last time you got cornrows?
