I think her own hair is braided against her head and then an afro is made with fake hair, but its weaved in

It can't be, because she swaps between the afro wig that she had originally, and the sleek wig that was provided by BB for the spies task. At least, I assume that it was provided by BB because until then we only ever saw her in her afro wig.

What I want to know is how come we never see her without either wig? She must take them off at some point, so how come BB never shows it?

watch E4 + 1 atm and you will see her taking it off

I think that the natural hair was canerowed as you could see (tight braids against the head) and then she wore a wig on top. The wig would either be the afro or the bob

BUt I saw her combing through the Afro quite harshy and if it was a wig it would have come off... So I think it was attached to her own hair

so is it just plaited onto it??

When she wore the bob wig is was on top of the afro wig which she covered with a beige cap

The original afro was weaved into her own hair when it started looking scruffy she then wore the wig bb let her keep for the spy task on top of the weave so she had her real hair with the weave with a wifg on , today she has taken wig and weave off and has revealed her own natural hair.

I have extentions and they are not glued in, they are plaited in and then heated.

she probably scratched cos of the heat (can you imagine - my idea of hell). She could have held it on with a few pins.

I have to say that I've been tempted to get a bob wig as well. I don't like to straighten my hair and it's an easy way to completely change a look.

We only have terrestrial in our cave dwelling, so I'll have to rely on your report . She was talking about weaves a few nights ago, but the impression I had was that that was something she gets done, but didn't have at that point.

How on earth did she fit the bob wig on over the afro? No wonder the afro was begining to look a bit batty. But even a wig can be combed out, perhaps not as vigorously as Science used to do. Can an afro be woven on? I thought that only braids could be woven. Perhaps if it was woven, maybe that is why she didn't comb it.

I agree about the madness of wearing 2 wigs in this heat. Blimey....

whats her natural hair like? or is it in cornrows?

No wonder she's given in! How did she cope during the heatwave in July? She must feel absolutely awful if she's finally revealing her natural hair without a hairdrier or styling gear.

emmmm........ I just turned onto e4+1 and saw her pick up hair extentions off the floor, if it was a wig, surely it would have been in one piece!!!

her natural hair would be canerowed (cornrowed) before you could put the afro on.

RTKangaMummy · 11/08/2005 15:18

It was in conrows under the wigs

but I have really thick hair and I feel like I am wearing a woolly hat in the heat

Have nop idea how she coped

at least she can wash it and swim

she says she always straightens it

Before you all start listening to the BB website opinions on her hair, perhaps it would be worth finding out what an actual hairdresser (of afro hair) says. The website tells you nothing.

I can't be much help cos I don't do weaves!
