Faune Martin: Hair Crush of the Week

It’s a difficult question, and it’s actually way easier describing what I do not like about it…

I hate when the wind comes from behind. I leaves me practically blind. I don’t like that it’s always in my face, but I’ve gotten used to it though, but when it’s too much I put up a loose ponytail. I hate that it looks really messy really easy – I wash it almost every day to comb it and redefine the curls that after time look more and more frizzy.

Other than those things I love it – I love the different responses, good and bad, it’s definitely a conversation starter. I also work as a model and A LOT of photographers and Make-up artists think it’s totally cool to play with and we always get great pictures that are hard for others to remake (only partly because of the hair but it still has an effect”>.

Finally I just love it because it’s me – get me right, I was born the way I am, I’ve never had it any other way, so I don’t know what else I’m missing. To me, it’s pretty great having an afro despite of the minusses – but don’t we all want what we can’t have? at that point I’m happy that I can straighten it – I would say it’s easier getting authentic straight hair out of afro than making an authentic afro out of straight hair.

There’s a lot to do with an afro, you can style it any way you want with different up-do’s and braids (that can be hard to do on straight hair because it’s so smooth with no friction”>. AND then I can do ALL the styles for straight hair too when I’m having it that way!
