Just for fun. Can we talk about snoop dogg's retention?

[afrikurl]

When I was at the gym something on BET was showing Snoop. I could help but notice his hair, he had on a stocking cap with two braids that came out with some toostsie balls on the ends. I couldn't help but think. This man has been around APL since he stepped on the scene. He is always protective styling. I remember roughly being in 5th grade when he came out. Now I teach tenth grade. Just for fun, what advice would you give Snoop to get past his APL slump?

 

[Adaoba2012]

LOL! Cute thread! I would tell Snoop he should incorporate a good deep conditioning treatment into his hair regimen once or twice weekly. I would also tell him he should lay off the heat!

 

[Charlie555]

His stylist has prolly convinced him that he needs his ends trimmed every 6 weeks. LOL

 

[bride91501]

Maybe he was advised (by someone with his best intentions at heart I suspect) that APL is the longest length a grown man should have....and I'm spotting him a few inches

Otherwise, I agree with my naija sis Adaoba

 

[kmn1980]

I think he cuts it because he doesn't want his hair all the way down him back. Good choice if you ask me.

 

[lushcoils]

Maybe it's his terminal length?

 

[arosieworld]

hmmmm maybehe should try bunning instead of the braids......

 

[LushLox]

I'm sure he just maintains at that length, he probably doesn't want mbl hair lol.

His hair length suits him anyway.

 

[iri9109]

i know he gotta be pushin 40 by now...why does he still have braids in the 1st place?

 

[AHeadOfCoils]

I'm quite sure that snoop keeps his hair at that length. Every few years, I notice that his hair is at SL and then back at APL. Another thing, his APL would be like MBL to most women. His torso and neck are pretty long compared to the average woman. I think his hair is the perfect length for a grown man.

Hey SIS!!!

 

[NaturalBeauty<3]

lol! I know you ladies aren't AGREEING with that tomfoolery!
grown man. my second grade plats on his head.
this is not okay.
in other news, lol, I would suggest joining lhcf. and becoming a diy-er.

 

[Grand Prix]

Lol! This thread us too funny.
I agree with the above, he should become a diy-er. He seems like the kind of person who could enjoy a good DC.

 

[choctaw]

y'all go haarrrrrrrrd up in hyeah

 

[JJamiah]

To each his own, I would suggest he definitely deep condition and if he trims regularly leave the scissors alone

LOL oh no @naturalbeauty! Tomfoolery! I think he needs to stop getting trims and dc regularly and im at the bunning comment!

 

[Freespirit02]

hmmmm maybehe should try bunning instead of the braids......

lol..omg..i just imagined him with a bun..wowww

 

[ladysaraii]

I cannot accurately assess his situation w/o pics

(I've always wanted to use that smiley )

 

[Aireen]

LOL well not everyone wants waist length hair in the real world, just a lot of us here want our hair reaching that length and beyond. Besides, he has a reputation and an image to protect and I don't think whippin' his hair back and forth will help.

 

[MsBoinglicious]

You know back then in LA (early 90's) that was the hair style. Ya'll remember seeing cripts and bloods in movies and on tv in the news with tiny ponytails with barrettes/knockers at the ends of their hair or tightly "pank" roller curled hair (like BIG worm in 'Friday'). GROWN MEN with 2 year old girl’s hair! LOL Snoopy is old school. I only seen him ONE time in his life with short hair and that was when he first came out with Dre! My advice to snoop, I agree he needs to cut that mess off! He would look so much more attractive if he did.

I would kick my husbands arse if he tried to pull this in 2011. That's sum bull!

 

[naturalagain2]

He got some pretty hair though

 

[D.Lisha]

LMAO, Love this thread!
And personally, I think his length hair suits him well. We have to remember....even though he has lucious locks, he's still considered a "G" (gansta). Now imagine him with WL hair? That would just make him look kinda gay....how seriously would we be able to take him as a "gansta rapper" with WL hair?

 

[InchHighPrivateEye]

I think Snoop use too much heat. Yall know he will break out those Shirley Temple curls in a minute. I would advise him to get some Curlformers or FlexiRods.

 

[afrikurl]

Thank you ladies for your responses, I am laughing quite hard at some of them. I just wanna say a man who admits to having a perm, and who wears tootisie balls and shirley temple curls can't be that concerned about people percieving him as slightly efeminate.

 

[KurlyNinja]

I thought snoop was natural? Its probably all that heat making him lose length.

 

[diadall]

This topic is hilarious! Maybe its all the weed.

 

[wannabelong]

Thanks for the thread OP, it is truly entertaining. I'm with the rest of the ladies, DC and put the scissors away.

 

[afrikurl]

I thought snoop was natural? Its probably all that heat making him lose length.

I've heard him say that he had a perm in a few songs but truth be told I don't know. There have been times where it looks more full like it is natural like the first and fourth pic ^^ and other times like that second pic where it looks relaxed. I cant tell because of the brainds though

 

[Carisa]

I would like this hair style for myself!
