Because my mum came round to take her braids out. There was a lot of them and they were very small .

She was going to have her hair re-plaited and as the hair stylist lives closer to me she thought it would be best to have it done round mine, so she spent the night.

Now my mother is a modern working woman, busy with lots going on – she didn’t turn up till 11.30pm, I had already given up on her!

She turned up at 11.30pm with a full head of small Ghana style braids and a stylist coming first thing in the morning!!!

Yes, we’ve finally got a blog up and running on the site.

We’ll be inviting guest writers – hair salon owners, barbers, stylists and private individuals to tell us about their experiences with Black Hair.

There’ll be opinion pieces, interviews, audio clips, video clips – all sorts of things; serious, humourous, informative, gossip. Hopefully we’ll keep you entertained and interested and coming back for more.

But for now – welcome!
