Braids in BIM!

Hi Everyone!! 

A while back, I had the chance to get my hair braided in Barbados.

Getting my hair braided as a black woman is absolutely nothing new to me. Ever since I was a little girl, I've always had my hair braided in millions of styles...but for some reason, something really intrigued me about getting my hair braided here. Hair itself is a quite prevelant aspect in most lives of Black women. When I'm back home, I'm often faced with questions like:

"Wow! Your hair grows up?"

"Can I touch it?"

"Does it grow long?"

or comments like:

"Wow- it feels like cotton candy!"

"I thought black hair stopped growing at a certain length"

and the list goes on and on....

But getting my hair here where majority of the population is black allowed me to expereince getting my hair done as "normal". It felt amazing! 

It was a great experience to get my hair braided by Shian and I would definitely recommend her! Check out my video on what getting my hair braided was like:

While I've been on exchange, I've noticed a number of changes just within the first month of being here. Check out my list of five things to expect while on exchange in beautiful Barbados!  Excitement: While on exchange, expect to be an absolute tourist for the first little while. You’ll want to travel everywhere, eat everything and experience everything your new home has to offer- and rightfully so!

You were probably told that this is a “ once in a lifetime opportunity” – and that’s correct! Take photos, see new things and thoroughly enjoy this brand new experience. Culture Shock:             Unless you’ve been to your new home time and time again before your exchange—chances are you’ll experience culture shock. For many, the Bajan dialect might take some getting used to, and that can be a huge contend...
