Naomi...she's the exception to my "no weave" rule. She's never worn them as if they are her real hair, but like Diana Ross, as apart of a persona. She's worn every style and color known to man (and a few that aren't). I wish I could find more pics of her real hair. She looked adorable w/ it. :yep:

THIS THREAD IS AMAZING!!! So happy I am natural!!!

ME TOO! And Real's hair is ridiculously beautiful.:love3: He is my new hair inspiration!
Mods, I think you should remove the fake big bodacious hair ladies and then make this a "big bodacious" sticky, to remind us all just how awesome and long our natural hair can grow!
Great thread OP, thanks for starting it!...now let me go dig out some of my BB hair pics!
 
Victorian sistahs...vintage y'all. Not much hanging down, but look at the size of those updos!

Thank you Jamaraa. I have been looking for vintage photos. I know this has been going on for years and year and years. Big Bodacious is nothing new and it needs to stay mainstream.

I am a card carrying member of the BBH Club!!! Anyone else?!
 
More Victorians..I'll post as I find. Someone should do a site devoted to just this, Black Victorians.

These Victorian sistahs were MORE bodacious that we are. :grin::yep: I don't know why so many modern people are convinced they had less hair back then than we do now...it's not true. Time and again I've seen pics of these Black women w/ hair wrapped around their heads, sometimes 2 or more times and/or long thick braids. Nah, they didn't get it at the Koreans either. :lachen::nono:
