I think Shuku gets no love because it's what I like to call a "severe" hairstyle. It only fits certain people. On others, it's just terrible.<br /><br /><br />I strongly suspect you were not the only one who hated police cap. I believe I actually did that hairstyle maybe two times in my entire life. <br /><br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences here! :-)The Relentless Builderhttp://therelentlessbuilder.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-42004816865601981502015-05-03T13:29:04.119-05:002015-05-03T13:29:04.119-05:00Pls which hair style is Lagos bridge with the pict...Pls which hair style is Lagos bridge with the picture pls I need an urgent reply.Adebimpenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-59608405039336794432015-03-17T15:07:38.940-05:002015-03-17T15:07:38.940-05:00Wow I love this post!

I was rocking that hairstyle back in the day-even so to the point my mother refused me to make it anymore until my siblings begged on my behalf. (okay, so I would make 2 shuku and front but all na the same thing) And I loved clap and front as well! One of my favorites was love come down, because it was senior girls hair in my school, and there are many others I'm not even sure of their names, like this one where they make shuku on the right side of your head and half basket on the other side. Then there was one we called Binta my baby, I never agreed to make all back because for me it was too simple thus boring, but I could manage 2 step 3 step, all the steps :D And please don't get me started on the beads! (takes deep breath) But one hairstyle I couldn't stand for anything was that police beret of a thing. To the extent I wanted to write a letter to the government telling them to ban that thing!Inyee Karibinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-87884028644405452322014-10-16T02:14:03.034-05:002014-10-16T02:14:03.034-05:00Vegan Nigerian: Yes, it brings back many memories....Vegan Nigerian: Yes, it brings back many memories.

I was beginning to think it was a veggie like broccoli. You know you just confirmed something I had wondered about for the longest time, i.e. whether or not threading your hair makes it grow. It looks like in your case it did. You're lucky you didn't have to braid your hair in the market.

I think I had 'all front' only once, could never understand how something so completely unflattering could be installed on a person's head! lol! I just finished doing some thread on my hair myself because I remembered how my hair grow from 2 to almost 14 inches in less than 3 years when I was in high school, because my Mother constantly threaded my hair! This definitely brought back pleasant memories - pleasant because, I think I was one of the lucky ones, I didn't have to go to the market women to do my hair because my Mom did it, and she preferred for me to be sitting in a chair while she stood to do my hair, said it was faster that way....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007262862160462114.post-62801104915579977582012-09-11T09:06:58.708-05:002012-09-11T09:06:58.708-05:00Hahahah...
