Fro hawk

Yesterday was my best friend's senior recital and I needed to do something with my hair. I bought a banna clip and planned to wear a Fro hawk thingie. Oh My God. It took half an hour to get the clip in...and then it was headache city. I was running late so I just had to go with it. I think maybe the clip was just not wide enough for how thick my hair is. Any other ladies with superthick hair can tell me where to find a a banna clip that dosen't give me a migraine? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Anyway I thought it came out cute, so afterwards when I changed I took some pics of my hair.

I don't know about the face I was making in that one. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Try bobby pins the next time! Yes, you are right! it came out really cute! I love the feather! WERK IT GURL

Love it!!

Looks very nice

looks great! I love rockin fro-hawks too! (wrote a post about it on my blog in siggie in fact) I also have thick hair and agree that bobby pins (and prolly lots of em) will do the trick just as well!!

I put my hair in a loose pony, then put on the banana clip, and finally remove the ponytail holder. It's not as tight and doesn't pop off when done that way.

walgreens has these clips that are like 2 for $2 i get those and they last me wayy longer than the expensive ones and they are able to hold my thick hair

Thanks! I was trying bobby pins but there weren't holding my hair tight enough. I prolly have to get the really big ones? Do you know any that give a tighter hold??

I tried that too lol. Then I realised my hair can't do ponys yet. It's still to short. Defininitely a tip for the future!

Cool!!... Off to check out your blog.... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I put the front in the banana clip, and bobby pin the back to match.... if that makes sense...

I tried to do a frohawk last night, but it didn't work out too good, so I just pinned my hair up. I think i need to practice with the banana clips first, but I can't seem to find them anywhere! Where are you guys finding the banana clips at ????

You can try a drug store or BSS

here's the vid i used to learn the frohawk::

i'm still working on perfecting it, but this is a test run i did the other day with pretty decent results..

@ natural 83 I got my clip at cvs.
@ SighSidhe I love your results. I really wish I had your length.. sigh.

Hey A-Felice,

I know about working with a shorter length.
I use bobby pins, but what I do is REALLY work it back as far as it will go and scarf it! I leave on the scarf for like 30 minutes to at least set and that helps it hold.
Then I take the task to form my fro hawk, puff or whatever I am pulling back.
I hope that makes sense!
There's hope for us thick hair headed chicks!
