And 6 weeks before the wedding I chopped off my afro again - wedding stress, couldn't shoot somebody so I chopped my hair and I wore my afro at my wedding with only a flower in my hair and some Sacha glitter (night wedding)as my accessories. Bella, how do I send you a photo, so that your wedding afrobelle can see that it can be done and look fabulous.

They are pretty big; I only need one to hold a whole side of my thick hair down, and they had different colors too.

I worked on this from May until a week before my wedding. the others gave good advice re: comb coils or just wearing your fro in its natural glory with a hair accessory. the key is to start now so you have a plan and not wondering the week before what to do. check out nappturality.com and ask the ladies in your area, if they know of a natural hairstylist. also, check out photo's of women with TWA's and how they style their hair.

As you can see I finally decided on braids, I think it was the easiest, safest and healthiest option for my hair. I remembered being worried about my style choice, but you have to do what works for you. Run some ideas by the bride and see what she thinks too. Either way, I know everyone will look beautiful!

And I totally agree with Mae B. about getting the brows done. A nice wax or whatever of the brows really helps the TWA crown shine.

Congrats for being strong so soon. What I did all three times was just wash my hair, put in the appropriate products to keep it curly, moisturized and soft and after letting it air dry some I strategically placed a flower in my hair. Not anything too big that changed the flower from an accessory to an outfit, but something that complimented my dresses. I have yet to get as many compliments on my hair as I did those nights. It was very pretty and elegant IMO. If you try this, which I suggest because it simple yet pretty, I recommend using small flowers and adding to if necessary instead on one huge flower. Please, let us know what you do. @Shantise, I have been natural for years and this year was the first time that I felt confident to wear my hair in a natural style for not only one, not two formal but THREE formal events.
