LHCF Adventures in Berlin, Germany!!!! (Pics)

[PPGbubbles]

I am in Berlin, Germany for my job and while I was walking the streets I saw a store name "Afro Beauty Shop" and in the window display I saw wigs. So of course you know I had to go inside and see what the germans know about "afro beauty" lol.

Well much to my surprise they had all the standard product you would come to expect.Re laxers,grease,vasaline and shiny weave and braiding hair lmao.

But what caught my attention was the sensationell weaving hair. All the packs come witht a lace closure that has skin wefting!!! And it cost 12 € euros which is about $16 US. I consider that to be extremely cheap considering places like Haley's Curls and Extentions plus charge $100 plus for their closures... I may bring one back to the US and "try it out" when I get home.

I just wanted to share what LHCF has done to me. It has me running into BSS's overseas lol... I attached pics of the store and the closure

Danke!
(Thank you in german)
*This is my first post from my blackberry so I appologize in advance if I can't upload the pics or if something else wacky occurs.

Have you noticed that a good portion of the bw in Berlin wear weaves/wigs, or are they relaxed/natural?

The few AA women I have seen are natural and the hair has been BSL or longer. I They did seem to be Silkier hair types, on lady looked ethioipian another looked of mixed decent.

I did see one lady I with long individuals...Most of the hair was 20' to 30'' in the store.

Thanks for this post. I would love to visit Germany and plan on doing so soon, but south west Germany around Stuttgart. Are you enjoying it so far? Is it your first visit? How are the people?

I have family in Germany. They relax. I'm sure most Africans there are either relaxed or natural with braid extensions or weaves. Now of these Sensationnel weave packs of which you speak that come with closure. Are they regular sized closures?? i.e. about 2 or 3 x 4 inches? Is this weave a different product than what's available in the US? I'm intrigued.

I like it. This is my first visit to Germay I was in Austria earlier this year. I will say that austrian are a bit friendlier to americans than the Germans lol.. Had a mini incident at a restaurant. Other than that it is a typical big city I plan 2 go site seeing 2morrow.

it was about 2 to 3 inches in length. And I was curious because I have used sensationnel hair before and have never seen the closure included in packages before. Also the ammount of weaving hair in those packs are less than traditional packs in the US. it is about 1/3 the amount of hair I am used to seeing.

I am definately bringing a pack or two home

I was particularly wondering about African ladies in Berlin. When I was in London, Brussels, Verona and Paris, most of the African women had weaves, relaxers or braids/extensions.
