In the last few months I've had three very different hairstyles. I had my natural hair for a while and kept it for much longer than intended due to budgetary constraints. Having spent a couple of months with my shoulder length at a push afro I decided to make sure that the update was noticeably different so I went full pink hombre waist length mermaid braids.

The fact that it took her … [Read more...] about MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE ELECTRIC BLUE SUBURBAN AFRO
I WISH I HAD HAIR LIKE YOURS. MEMORIES OF TCB AND PLANNING MY NEXT HAIRDO
People often say to me that they wish they had hair like mine. I could finish this blog post with three words and an exclamation mark i.e. "No you don't!" but where's the fun in that? It's a fact of life that people always want things that they can't have and nothing illustrates this more than hair.

WORTHYONTHEWEB
Although this website is dedicated to complaining about my hair, along with the occasional epiphany about actually having nothing to complain about, online I'm generally better known as WorthyOnTheWeb. I build websites for a living and SuburbanAfro was a project I started because I wanted to experiment with some WordPress themes and wanted a blog to play with.
