oh, and here's a how-to for the style: 4 flat twists going into 2-strand twists across the front and cornrows on the side ending in 2-strand twists. Wearing a mid-head puff in the back.

This style was done by hair artist Keva Hall for her show entitled "My Good Hair" @ Rush Arts Gallery in New York. It is part of "Garveyism" -- styles based on Marcus Garvey's beauty pageants promoting natural beauty. This style was inspired by powdered wigs of the 18th century.

Camille My name is Camille and you've featured me before for the Questions from a Newbie series L says~This series has been renamed 'New to the Natural Movement' ... Well, I'm coming to you with some great photos this time for your Unconventional series! My hair has grown since I was last featured and I tried a new style. It is sort of a frohawk, but not quite. I love it though, and I've received so many compliments since rockin' it. I just want to show that your hair doesn't have to be long to rock a hawk! Hope you like it! Laquita
