The kinky look takes one hundred pounds of tacky off the poor girl. Surprise, surprise, kinky hair is just perfect for some people!

So I have resorted to wearing

(or something like it)

If I venture out…

As a result, I dont bother to unplait my hair which is currently in big ones.

But, I have this reoccuring fear that my hat will fly off

 or I’ll enter a building that has a no hat rule

I think I would ask to go to the bathroom so I could do a hasty afro. I would be soooooooo embarassed to be caught in public with my granny plaits. This makes me want to resolve to wear a wig cap or to just style a low ponytail or something, but, I know I won’t.

I am just too lazy.

What would you do if you were caught out wearing granny plaits?

I recognise those afro earrings from somewhere. Tell me where!

They are fuzzing out. Eeek. It’s kind of  heartwarming to see this (quite obviously) happens to a celebrity to!
