In the past two days, I’ve witnessed some of the worst hairstyles I’ve seen in some time.
The first was a woman who had her head shaved with the exception of two large balls about three inches above her ears. She must be a huge fan of Disneyworld, because she looked like Minnie Mouse.
The second, I’m actually looking at right now on the train. She has her hair corn-rowed about an inch apart toward the crown of her head. On the top of the crown is a large fountain-type bun (of obviously synthetic hair) in the same orange-burgundy colored hair that the cornrows are.
If either of the women were exceptionally beautiful, they might be able to get away with wearing such horrific styles, but unfortunately…not.
I don’t know why this is, but I’ve been told that (in general) women from Jamaica and the West Indies are more likely to color their hair in unnatural colors as well as creating the most unusual hair styles (in comparison to African American women). I find that
Caucasian women just tend to over process their hair and leave it like it was when they got out of bed (which is equally unattractive).
Find a classic hairstyle that suits the shape of your face. Identify your best facial feature, accentuate it and de-emphasize everything else.
Remember, unflattering hairstyles bring even more attention than flattering ones.

I find classic hairstyles BORING and hate how everyone’s trying to sport the same look :-p
I really appreciate the women who put in time and creativity to have unique hair and make-up!! It’s hypocritical to love fashion designers for taking risks but then condemning normal women for not joining the ‘right-style-bandwagon’ when it comes to anything regarding their looks

No excuse. I will pass this around until to every single black woman and blogger I know until I have your site shut down.
I am so sick of this African-American vs. Caribbean foolishness and nine-time-out of ten…it’s people like you who perpetrate it.
