SO IN ZIMBABWE WE HAVE AN EVERYDAY STYLE THAT I USED TO WEAR WHEN I WAS IN PRIMARY (ELEMENTARY/MIDDLE) SCHOOL, WE CALL THEM MABHANZI (MABUNZ).
I RECENTLY FOUND MYSELF WITHOUT ANY EXTENSIONS OR THE MONEY TO GET THE EXTENSIONS TO BRAID MY HAIR, IN ADDITION I WANTED TO CUT A FEW INCHES OFF MY HAIR BUT MY HUBBY DIDNT WANT ME TO. MY HAIR HAS GROWN TOO LONG FOR ME PERSONALLY, AND I WANTED TO WEAR SHORT BRAID HAIR DOs WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE SEEING AS MY HAIR IS TOO LONG AND I DO NOT LIKE HAVING WEAVE IN MY HAIR.
SO I THOT ABOUT OUR ZIMBABWEAN HAIRDO AND HOW I COULD MAKE IT CLASSIC TO WHERE I COULD BE ABLE TO WEAR IT TO A BUSINESS MEETING.
THE FOLLOWING PICTURES SHOW THE FEW STYLES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO FAR, VERY EASY STYLE, AND TAKES ABOUT 30MIN TO AN HOUR TO DO. THERE IS ONE WHERE I HAD NOT FINISHED BRAIDING MY HAIR AND I HAD TO GO TO WORK, SO I HAD TO HAVE THE ROPE TWIST AND BOX BRAIDS IN THE BACK...that was a nice save...lol:)
ENJOY!!!!!!!
