Greetings from the dark continent!

Hi ya'll,
I'm a new member from Johannesburg, South Africa. I just LOVE this site, it's given me more ideas than any other on the web. My hair is a deep red and naturally curly. For thirty-three years I fought the curls and even had them professionally straightened by my younger sister who is a hair-stylist. But since turning 33, I decided to go "au naturel" and leave the curls in. I've now resigned myself to curls and have actually learned to love them. Cheesy

I love to play with my hair with new styling techniques, does anyone know of any decent sites with instructions on hair styles I could try? (I'd try anything once!)

Warm Welcome Spaceybabe! My hubby's uncle lives in Johannesburg. Hubby says its a beautiful country (he visited around 10 years ago). I've never been. Only heard his stories and seen the pictures.

You're hair sounds lovely! I've always wanted red curls...*sigh*.

At least I've got the red!

A good site for braiding techniques and styles is http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/

Other than that...stick around this site and you'll get plenty of ideas!

See you 'round the boards!

At the top of the page look in the forum that says Announcements once in there look at the "Tip of the Week" and about the 4th one down has about posting pictures.

I was thinking the same thing, Rua! Ohhh to have red curls.. but you know, with all the french braiding I've been doing, I end up with lovely red waves myself... hurray!

Glad to have another "firey" on our boards.
