Well I'm still hanging on to these Micros (and I do mean hanging on , I've had them since New Years.). I think I'm going to do the twists again, but I want them longer this time. I'll probably get them done over Easter weekend. I was thinking of getting a different color from my natural color. Something lighter. I haven't completely decided on that yet.

One of these days I guess I'll get back to the relaxed look (just too lazy right now).

Spy, your hair looks gorgeous, just like the rest of you.
So tell me, you hair nuts, are there any good style sites on the net. I decided to treat myself to a new hairdo, but have no idea what I want. All I know is it needs to be shortish (from shoulder length) and shouldn't take longer than 10 mins to wash and set. I am so sick and tired of that 1/2 hour ritual I have been subjecting myself to these last few years.

Lol Essence. And those micros have been in for a while. Hope you don't have any trouble removing them.

I've been taking pretty good care of them, but I have a lot of new growth. I'm going back to the shop and let them take them out. That's part of the service I paid for. Two people work on them to put them in and two people work on them to take them out. I'm just going to sit.

What is the difference between Dreadlocks, cornrows and micros? I was watching Queer Eye the other day and the straight guy had dreadlocks..made me wonder.

I will try to explain off the top of my head Texannie. Cornrows are braids that are attached to the scalp. Micros are individual braids that aren't braided all the way down, the ends are left loose. Dreadlocs are a type of braid where you take the hair and palm roll it into a sort of twist. You do this with non-chemically treated hair so that the twist stays in place. It's kinda hard to explain. Maybe someone else can offer a better definition.

Texannie, maybe this will help. Take Mocha's description and apply them to my google search.

The site I was looking at crashed before I could download a photo of dreadlocks but I think Lenny Kravitz had them......or not.

Essence, both are men. They had women for some of the styles but men for these two.

Thanks for the explanation!Does Whoopie Goldberg and Savion Glover have dreads? My daughter got her hair braided in Mexico..it's just the top, so that would be micros?

Yep, they both have dreads.

If the first half of the plait is braided and the bottom half is free and the plaits are small, then yes, those are micros.
