Great Hair Day In The Mother Land

On Tour with Armed Forces Entertainment


This photo was taken after our last comedy show at Camp Lemmonier in Djibouti, Africa. The focus of the photo was the belt buckle, (which was given to me by a very sweet soldier named William) but I think having a good hair day in 110 degree heat is an accomplishment. 


Hair How: I achieved the curly look by pulling my locks back into a ponytail, spritzing lightly with water and then doing four braids that I knotted at the bottom. It's pretty simple, but I will post a pick if I can find one. I wore it like that during the day, unbraided it and was good to go for the evening. Depending on heat, humidity and the length of my locks this look will last about two days.  I'll take that.

Very beautiful! I don't have much length to my locs yet. But I do love a braid-out.

Thanks Terez! It's hard to go wrong with a Braid Out.

Yes, I am a 100% DIY maintainer and have been for many years. My consultant thought it was important with my travel schedule that I learn to become as self sufficient as possible. It is nice,however, to have someone else do it every now and then then, but it's been a while. I really do enjoy the freedom self maintaining gives me.

I am in NJ and would like to get sisterlocks or microlocks. Is Khumura still doing hair? If so how can I contact her for my own hair to be done?
