Perhaps the reason that so many youths flock to hair braiding as their favorite style option is due to the fact that it’s easy to manage and it comes in great styles. The popularity of African American Hair Braiding styles has surpassed race. In other words people other than those of African American descent also try these Hair Braiding styles.

| A South African Feast | | 2008-02-04 02:33:00 | | Although I have never been, I have always had a bit of a love affair with South Africa. Back in my singing days I almost had the opportunity to play Carmen in Johannesburg, but unfortunately it fell through. At the time I did a lot of research and was thrilled at the thought of living in such a diverse and historic place, if only for a month or two. Going to an international school meant I had several South African friends as well. They have the most beautiful accent, a soft lilting melody that just makes me smile.Given my obsession passion for food, this was obviously a big part of my research. I remember loving the sound of Bobotie, a dish that every South African has their own version of, perhaps a bit like our own Shepherd's Pie. I used to read a lot of Wilbur Smith and this dish would come up in his books as well. I love the history of the dish.

| African American hair style ideas for proms and wedding | | 2007-12-04 00:54:00 | | Wedding updos are a great choice for a blushing bride for several reasons. First of all, wedding updos are long lasting when created properly. Let’s face it, a wedding day is a long day filled with hustle and bustle. The last thing a bride wants to worry about is keeping her hair out of her face or keeping it combed and brushed. In addition, hair that is left out and natural has a tendency to lose its style quickly. Wedding updos, on the other hand can last the entire day and evening without a problem.Creating Bun-Style Wedding UpdosWhen styling bun-style wedding updos, it is best to allow your hair to go 8-24 hours since its last washing. This allows the natural oils of the hair to build up a bit, which will help make it easier for the bun to hold. This will result in a tighter and longer lasting style. For the bride who insists on washing her hair before styling, it is necessary to dress the hair thoroughly with gels, hairsprays, or other products to prevent the strands of hair from being too slippery or soft.The first step in creating bun-style wedding updos is to brush the hair thoroughly and remove all tangles and knots. To create smooth and sleek bun-style wedding updos, it is best to next create sections of hair about 1-2” thick and smooth them with a flat iron. The hair should be allowed to cool before moving to the next step.After the hair has cooled, it should be brushed once again. All of the hair needs to be brushed from the hairline into a high ponytail in the middle of the crown. The ponytail should be secured with a band that is the same color as the bride’s hair.Next, the ponytail needs to be lifted high into the air and the hair needs to be smoothed while keeping the ponytail tight at the base. It might be necessary to add some light gel or setting lotion on fine hair or on hair that is slippery or otherwise doesn’t hold well. This way, it will be better anchored. In addition, the hair will need to be sprayed down or gelled before adding acc | | By: women's health information center | | |

| An African Advantage in Athletics? | | 2007-05-30 08:23:00 | | Ken Stone from Masters Track writes with a challenge: "OK, here's a subject that should generate interest: Are sprinters descended from West Africa naturally superior to all others? Are distance runners with roots in East Africa naturally superior to all others?"Thanks for the question Ken. This is a sensitive and controversial topic. Author Jon Entine, in his book Taboo: Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We're Afraid to Talk About It (PublicAffairs, 2001), writes that, "anyone who attempts to breach this taboo to study or even discuss what might be behind the growing performance gap between black and white athletes must be prepared to run a gauntlet of public scorn, survival not guaranteed."Even so, the proof would seem to be overwhelmingly in the affirmative. This article from 2002, discussing the positive impact of black athletes in the sport of bobsledding states that "athletes of West African ancestry... hold 494 of the 500 top, all-time, 100-meter times."
