Yintoni ebangela izimvi? Kubantu abaninzi, inxulumene nobudala. Njengoko iinwele zakho zeenwele (kunye nawe) zineminyaka yobudala, zivelisa umbala omncinci, ngoko xa uhamba kumjikelezo wendalo wokulahla kunye nokukhulisa iinwele ezintsha, kunokwenzeka ukuba zize zibe ngwevu emva kweminyaka ethile (ngokuqhelekileyo malunga ne-35). Oko kwathiwa, i-genetics factor kakhulu kule nto, yiyo loo nto abanye abantu beqala ukuba ngwevu kwiminyaka yabo yamashumi amabini, ngelixa abanye bengayi kuqaphela utshintsho oluphawulekayo kumbala kude kube yi-40.
Nokuba leliphi ixesha elichanekileyo, yinto eyenzeka kuthi sonke ekugqibeleni. Ndikwiminyaka yam yokuqala ye-30 ngoku kwaye ndiqaphele intambo edibeneyo. (Ndinenyanzelo lokuzincothula xa ndizibona, kodwa ndicinga ukuba aziyi kuzinza xa sele zikho ngaphezulu.) Umama wam, okwiminyaka yakhe yama-60, ebesifa iingcambu zakhe qho kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo. Iminyaka engama-20, kwaye uqinisekisa ukuba uya kwenza kwikamva elibonakalayo.
Lukhetho lomntu wonke kwaye lunokutshintsha ngokuxhomekeke kwiindlela zakho, okanye, njengoko kwakunjalo kwabaninzi ngo-2020, ubhubhani wehlabathi owasithintela ekuqeshweni kwethu e-salon. Kwabanye, lutshintsho olulula kwimbono.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, bendinomdla wokwazi ukuba abanye abafazi bayenze njani na into yokuba babe ngwevu… ndiye ndababuza. Ukusuka kumama oselula ozingcayo odlala ngesilivere ukuya kumntwana oneminyaka engama-72 ofumana amanqaku aphezulu, nanga amabali abo.

Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Ndabashiya, kwaye ndiye ndawola inwele nganye engwevu. Emva kokuzala, baqalisa ukukhula ngamandla. Mhlawumbi ngenxa yoxinzelelo lokuba ngumama omtsha. Ukukwazi kwam ukwamkela olu tshintsho ubukhulu becala ngenxa yendlela abanye abafazi abaNtsundu abaneenwele ezingwevu abalubhiyozele ngayo olu tshintsho, begalela kum ngobubele nangenkxaso. Ndikhe ndanombuzo wabantu abambalwa ukuba ingaba i-grey streak ngokwenene 'yinyani' kuba ikhula 'ngokugqibeleleyo.' Unyana wam oneminyaka emi-2 ubudala uJP uthabatheke ngokupheleleyo kuko, kodwa sisazama ukumenza ayeke ukutsala imisonto kaMama!
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?

Balapha ngoku, kwaye kulungile!

Ndineenwele ezintsundu ezintsundu ngoko ke nomtya omnye kulula ukuwufumana. Nje ukuba ndingene kwiminyaka yam yokugqibela yama-20s/early 30s, isiqwenga esahlukileyo kanye ecaleni kwam saqala ukwenza.
Wavakalelwa njani ngabo?
Bendicinga ukuba yinoveli xa ndiqala ukubabona. Njengoko inani leengwevu lalikhula kunye nobudala bam, ndaqala ukucinga ngokufa iinwele zam ukuze ndizigqume.
Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Ndacinga ngokufa iinwele zam amatyeli amaninzi, kodwa andizange ndifake umbala kwizinwele zam ngaphambili kwaye kwakungekho mzekelo. Ndicinga ukuba bendinobudlelwane bangaphambili nombala weenwele, ngendivuleleke ngakumbi kulo mbono. Ekugqibeleni, bekukho izizathu ezine ezingundoqo zokuba ndingazifaki (kwaye ndingazifaki) imibala: 1) Ugcino: Ndinombulelo ngokuba nentloko egcweleyo eshinyeneyo neneenwele eziphokopheleyo ezingafunanga msebenzi mninzi. ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Umbono wokwazisa isicwangciso esitsha sokulondoloza ukukhusela iingcambu ezingwevu ekuboniseni awuthandeki. 2) Iindleko: Ndingangena kwindleko eyongezelelweyo nokuba ndiyenza ngobuchwephesha okanye ndiyenze ngokwam ekhaya. 3) Iimfuno zasekuhlaleni: Okukhona ndishiya izimvi zam zingaphathwanga, kokukhona abantu abaninzi bendibuza ukuba 'kutheni' baze bagqabaze ngeenwele zam—ingakumbi amabhinqa amadala kunam. Iingcinga zam zokuqala zazikukugcina kunye neendleko, kodwa ke, njengoko ndandingena kwiminyaka yam ye-30, ukhetho lwam lokuhlala kwendalo ngokungenzeki luguqukele kwingxelo yenkcubeko echaseneyo. Ndinabafazi abaninzi (abahlobo kunye nabantu endingabaziyo) baphawule ngokhetho lwam kwaye bathi 'lukhangeleka lukhulu' kwaye 'luyakhuthaza'. Kwaye ke, oku kwandisa isigqibo sam sokuhlala ngwevu kwaye ndomeleza ukuzidla 'ngokuchasene ne-patriarchy elindele ukuba ndigubungele okanye ndilungise naluphi na uphawu lwe-DNA yam yokuguga.' I-4) I-Charity: Ekubeni ndineenwele ezininzi, ndizama ukuzikhulisa kwaye ndinikele rhoqo emva kweminyaka embalwa, kwaye imibutho emininzi ayikwazi ukwamkela iinwele ezidayiweyo.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Andazi, kodwa ndingaxoka xa ndinokuthi khange ndiyicinge. Anditshatanga kumbono wokuhlala kwindlela enye ubomi bam bonke xa kuziwa kumbala weenwele. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba nantoni na endiyikhethayo, yeyona nto indivuyisayo.
USarah Greaves-Gabbadon USarah Greaves-Gabbadon , Miami, FL (50's)
Uqale nini ukubona izimvi? Ubuneminyaka emingaphi?Ndaqala ukuzibona kwiminyaka yam ye-30: i-kinks ezingwevu zihluma kwiingcambu ze-dreadlocks zam ubude esinqeni.
Wavakalelwa njani ngabo?
Ekuqaleni, yayiyinto entsha. Kodwa njengokuba ndisiya kwiminyaka yam engamashumi amane, hayi kangako! Baqalisa ukundenza ndizive ndimdala. Ngalo lonke ixesha ndinolusu olugudileyo kunye nobuso bomntwana (ndityala imfuzo kunye ne-SPF 50), njengabafazi abaninzi abaNtsundu bendidlula ndibancinci kubomi bam bonke. Emva phaya, ekuphela komfazi owayenedreadlock ezingwevu endandimazi yayinguToni Morrison. Kwaye wayezinxiba kakuhle. Kodwa ndandimncinane kakhulu ukuba ndifane noToni Morrison!
Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Ndazidaya zimnyama iminyaka. Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engama-40, ndandichitha phantse usuku lonke e-salon rhoqo kwiiveki ezimbini ukuze ndigcine iingwevu zingekho.
Ndandisazi ukuba andifuni ukuba likhoboka le-salon ubomi bam bonke. Kwaye kwangaxeshanye, ndandingaziboni ndinentloko yezitshixo ezingwevu. Ngoko ke, ngomhla wam wokuzalwa we-49, ndenze idinga kunye nesitayile sam, esinqumle iinwele zam kwi-TWA (teeny-weeny afro), endiyilungiselele ukukhula ibe yi-halo yesilivere yeenwele. Kodwa kwavela ukuba andizange ndibe grey njengoko ndandicinga (ubukhulu becala nje kwi-hairline) kwaye ukuba #frolife ibandakanya ukugcinwa okuninzi kum.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Ngoku uhambo lwam lweenwele lufikile isangqa esipheleleyo. Emuva ngo-2015 xa wayesika i-dreads zam, isitayile sam sandikhuthaza ukuba ndizigcine. Xa ndachaza ngokungafihlisiyo ukuba andizidingi, wakwazi ukuzigcina. Kwaye kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo, waphinda wadibanisa bonke abangama-80! Ngoku ndigungqisa isithsaba se-ombré, iingcambu zesilivere zinika indlela yendalo (ish!) Locs emnyama. Andizange ndonwabe ngakumbi kwaye, ngokumangalisayo, ndikhangele phambili ngolangazelelo lokuba ngwevu ngokupheleleyo.

Wavakalelwa njani ngabo?
Andizange ndikhathazeke ngokugqithiseleyo, kodwa ndandisoloko ndicinga ukuba eyona nto ibalaseleyo yam yayiziinwele zam ezimdaka kakhulu. Iinwele zam zibhityile kwaye zilungile, kodwa umbala ubulungile, ngoko ibiyi-asethi.
Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Ndaqala ukufaka imibala engwevu ekhaya, ngamaxesha athile, ndibuyela kumbala wam wendalo omnyama. Ekugqibeleni, ndaqala ukubona ingcali yokwenza umbala wenkqubo enye. Njengoko ndisiya ndikhula, ndayamkela into yokuba ulusu oludala kunye neenwele ezimnyama azihambelani kakuhle, ndiye ndaqala ukufumana amanqaku aphezulu endaweni yokukhanyisa umbala uwonke. Ndiyaqhubeka ndiyenza loo nto. Ewe, ubhubhane uluthintele utyelelo lwam kwindawo yokwenza iinwele, kwaye ndiye ndakwazi ukungena kube kanye ukusukela ngoFebruwari. Ndenza i-touchups ekhaya kwaye basebenza kakuhle. Ndiyazikhumbula iinwele zam ezimnyama, kodwa ayisiyonto inkulu.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Ndiza kuqhubeka ukufumana amanqaku aphezulu kwikamva elibonakalayo. Ukuba bendineenwele ezishinyeneyo ezaneleyo zokuzicheba zibe mfutshane kwaye zibukeke zilungile, ndingacinga ukuba ndibe ngwevu ngokupheleleyo, kodwa andikakabikho. Nangona kunjalo, ndiyazithanda iinwele ezingwevu kwabanye abafazi. Umama wayeneenwele ezintle ezingwevu ezinemigca emhlophe ngaphambili. Yeha, andilifuzanga elo.
Angela NtangaAngela Ntanga , Brooklyn, NY (30's)
Uqale nini ukubona izimvi?Xa ndandineminyaka engama-24 ubudala. (Ndiyazi, ubomi abukho bubulungisa.)
Wavakalelwa njani ngabo?
Ukuba bekufuneka ndichaze ubudlelwane bam neengwevu zam ngegama elinye, bekuya kuba 'kungazibophelelanga.' Xa babeqala ukungena, bakhulela kwindawo enye-kanye ngaphambili kweenwele zam. Ndandinabahlobo abaninzi abandixelela ukuba kufuneka ndiyikhulise (à la Stacy London), kodwa ndaziva ngathi kwakungekudala kakhulu kwi-20 yam yokuqala. Ngoku ndikwi-30s yam kwaye ndisaziva ngolo hlobo.
Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Bendibala iinwele zam (idayi yenkqubo enye) okoko kwavela iingwevu. Ndingomnye wabafazi abaya esalon kuba ndikhetheke kakhulu ngebala lam lingaveli one dimensional. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yobhubhane kunye nokuvalelwa kwabantu kulo nyaka, ndiyeke iingwevu zam zikhule okokuqala ebomini bam (!). Bekuvula amehlo ukubona ukuba bangaphi na endinabo, kwaye ngokumangalisayo, bendikhwele ukuze ndibamkele ngokupheleleyo (kwaye ndiqhuba kakuhle ngayo). Kodwa ke, ngenye imini ngoSeptemba, ndazijonga esipilini ndaza ndaziva ndimdala kunam ngeminyaka engama-40. Ke, ndicwangcise idinga leenwele kwaye sibuyela emdaka kwezi ntsuku.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Ingayiyo! Eli hlotyeni yayilingelo elikhulu kwaye landinceda ukuba ndivavanye ukuba ixesha lokukhula elipheleleyo liza kubandakanya ntoni na. Ndifumene nengxelo enobubele kakhulu kumyeni wam, abahlobo kunye nosapho, ukuba kukho nantoni na, ngoku ndinokuzithemba ukwazi ukuba ukugungqa iingwevu zam ayisiyiyo eyona nto imbi.

Ndayeka ukufaka imibala kwizinwele zam xa ndandithatha umhlala-phantsi kwimodeli yokhenketho kwiinkampani zokunyamekela iinwele. Andizange ndifake umbala kwizinwele zam ukusukela ngoMatshi ka-2015.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Ayizukutshintsha kwixesha elizayo kuba andidibani nezithako kumbala weenwele ezininzi. Hleka kakhulu. Ukunyaniseka, nokuba bendingenalo i-allergies, bendingayi mbala iinwele zam. Ubungwevu bam luphawu lokuba ndiphile ubomi. Ndihlala ndijonga iifoto zam zakudala zemodeli ndize ndithi, Wow, ndandikhangeleka ndimncinci, kodwa ndikhumbula uxinzelelo ebomini bam ngelo xesha. Ngoku sele ndiphakathi ukuya kwi-50, kwaye ndizinzile kwaye ndizinzile kumfazi endinguye, akukho stress ingako. Iinwele zam zingwevu kwaye kulungile. Asiyonto onokuba neentloni ngayo.

Ndandisoloko ndixelelwa ukuba ndimncinci kakhulu ukuba ndingabi neenwele ezimhlophe. Ndandisoloko ndibuzwa enoba ndinengxaki okanye ndinemfuza kusini na. Ngayiphi na indlela, yayibonakala kumntu wonke kwaye ngoko ndaziva ngathi kufuneka ndiyifihle. Bendinentloni nyani nenwele zam ezimhlophe. Akukho mntu kufuneka abone kwaye afumanise ukuba ndineenwele ezimhlophe kwangoko. Ingakumbi emsebenzini wam. Ndisebenza eqongeni kwaye kufuneka ndifakwe njengeentlobo ezithile kwii-auditions. Ngubani ofuna ukubona iJasmine eneenwele ezingwevu eAladdin? Ndandisele ndikulungele ukunyamezela ukuchasana okungakumbi nangakumbi, ukuqhawuka kweenwele nokuqothuka kweenwele yaye ndandicinga ukuba 'yinto eqhelekileyo.' Okukhona ndibala iinwele zam ezimhlophe, kokukhona zazibonakala ngokukhawuleza. Namhlanje ndiyazi: inwele zam ezimhlophe zifuna ukubonwa.
Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?

Oko ndiye ndayeka iinwele zam ezingwevu zakhula, ndiye ndanconywa intaphane yaye ndinconywa kakhulu. Ndikhanya ngokukhanya okutsha kuba ndindim nje. Indlela endiyiyo. Abanye abantu bade bandibuze ukuba iinwele zam ezingwevu zidaywe na. Abantu abaninzi abakwazi ukufumana umfanekiso webhinqa eliselula kunye neenwele ezingwevu kunye.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Ndiyathemba ukuba abantu abaninzi baya kuba nesibindi sokuzimela kwaye baqonde ukuba bangaphezu kweqokobhe labo langaphandle. Singaphezulu kakhulu. Wonke umntu omnye ugqibelele kanye ngendlela abayiyo. Kangangexesha elide ndandikholelwa ukuba kufuneka nditshintshe, ndizifihle kwaye ndizive ndineentloni ukuze nje ndibe 'ngumntu oqhelekileyo' kwaye ndamkeleke. Namhlanje ndiyazi, ndinokuba yile nto ndiyiyo. Ndifuna ukukhuthaza nokukhuthaza abanye abantu ukuba bakholelwe kwiziqu zabo. Yintoni ekwenza ukuba 'uhluke' yinto ekwenza ube ngokhethekileyo.

Wavakalelwa njani ngabo?

Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Ekubeni ndandineminyaka eli-18 ubudala, ndatshintsha imvelaphi yam. Ndibanyange qho kwiiveki ezili-10 ukuya kwezili-12 ukuya rhoqo kwiiveki ezintathu ukuya kutsho nge-1 kaDisemba, ka-2019.
Andisambala iinwele zam. Ukugcinwa kunye neendleko zezona zizathu zam zokwamkela iingwevu. Kwakhona, ndifumanise ukuba ayilunganga kakhulu into yokuba uluntu lufumanise ukuba amadoda ahlulahlulwe ngetyuwa neenwele zepepile kodwa abafazi bajongwa njengabantu abajongelwa phantsi benengwevu. Ndifuna ukuyitshintsha loo nto!
Ngokwendalo ndizikhulise iinwele zam ukusukela ngoDisemba ka-2019 kwaye ndivumele ukukhanya kwam kwenyanga kukhanye!

Wavakalelwa njani ngabo?
Ndafudukela eKhanada xa ndandineminyaka eyi-12. Ukufuduka ngamava abuhlungu, okudityaniswa nokufikisa kunye nokothuka kwenkcubeko, yayingeloxesha limnandi ebomini bam. Ndandingenabahlobo ukufika kwam eKhanada. Ndandikwindawo enabantu abamhlophe eToronto. Ngoko, ukuba nje kwisikhumba esimdaka kwakuvakala kubi. Isibini esineenwele ezikhulayo zomzimba, amabele kwaye ngoku zinde, iinwele ezingwevu kwi-12? Ndaziva ngathi ndothukile!
Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Ndaqala ngedayi yeenwele zehenna. IHenna ithambile kwaye ilungile ngokwenene kuwe. Umama wayedla ngokwenza iHenna ngamagqabi. I-Henna nayo ibaluleke kakhulu ngokwenkcubeko kuthi. I-Henna ishiya iinwele kunye nentwana ye-orenji. (Kwakhona kuthatha iiyure ezi-3+ kwaye ihlala ishiya ivumba elibi kakhulu). Ndathi ndifika kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, ndandifuna ukuba ‘pholile’ kunehena enukayo (ndandizama ngamandla ukulinganisa njengoko sasifuduka njengoko ndandiza kungena kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo). Ke, ndaqala ukubhubha iinwele zam ndisebenzisa ibhokisi emnyama. Ndayenza loo nto de ndagqiba iminyaka eyi-27.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Bendisoloko ndidayiva iinwele zam zibe ngumbala wendalo ukuze zingene kwingxelo 'yolutsha'. Xa ndandineminyaka engama-27 ubudala, ndaqonda ukuba akukho mfuneko yokuba ndihlale ndibeka imichiza eyingozi ukuze ndibukeke ndimncinci - ndiselula (ngokuthelekisa). Ukukhulisa iinwele zam ezingwevu ibe sisenzo sokuzithanda kum. Idibane nohambo oluphilisayo lokusebenza kucalucalulo lwam lwangaphakathi, kunye ne-shadeism. Ndabuyela eluthandweni olumnyama neenwele zam ezimhlophe. 'Iingwevu' zam zimhlophe qwa. Andizicwangciseli umbala omnyama kwakhona. Nangona kunjalo, ndichulumancile kuba iinwele ezimhlophe zithetha ukuba, UKUBA bendikhe ndafuna ukuzama imibala eyonwabisayo - ngenene bekungafuneki ndiyenze ibleach. Ngoko, ngubani owaziyo!

Ekuqaleni ndandizikhupha ngokunyanisekileyo xa ndiza kubafumana. Kwathi kwakuba nzima kakhulu ndawafaka umbala ngandlela zonke. Ndaqala ukusebenzisa idayi ye-henna malunga neminyaka esibhozo eyadlulayo njengenye indlela yendalo. Ndandifaka imibala rhoqo kwiiveki ezintandathu kwaye ndingafuni nayiphi na imiboniso engwevu. Ngo-Epreli ka-2020 ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndichebe intloko yam njengento yoluhlu lweebhakethi. Ngeli xesha ndaye ndayiqonda ngokupheleleyo indlela iinwele zam ezingwevu ngayo ngokwenene. Ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndingazami ukuyifaka imibala. Bekunzima kakhulu. Maxa wambi ndiziva ngathi ndikhangeleka ndimdala okanye ndinexhala lokuba abanye bacinga ntoni ngam. Ngamanye amaxesha ezi ngcinga ziye ziphakame kangangokuba ndifune ukubaleka ndibuye ndifake imibala yeenwele zam. Kodwa ndiye ndacinga malunga nokuba ndikude kangakanani kwaye kunomdla kangakanani ukubona iinwele zam ziguquka kwaye zitshintsha njengoko zikhula ziphuma kwi-buzz.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Ngaphandle elangeni ibonakala ingwevu kakhulu, kodwa ngaphakathi ngequbuliso hayi kangako. Ndikhe ndanabantu abandibuzayo ukuba ndizigqamisile na iinwele zam. Ke, ndicinga ukuba impendulo kweli nqanaba, hayi andiyiboni imbono yam iguquka kwikamva elingekude.

Uqale nini ukubona izimvi? Ubuneminyaka emingaphi?Ndabona iinwele zam zokuqala ezingwevu kwisikolo esiphakathi, malunga ne-12-13 yeminyaka ubudala.
Wavakalelwa njani ngabo?
Umntu endifunda naye wayemane endihlekisa endicenga ukuba ndiwakhuphe xa ethe wawafumana ndabe ndixakwe nokuba ndimncinci nengwevu ndavuma. Kwade kwafika u-Antie wandixelela ukuba xa utsala inwele ezingwevu, kuzokhula ezintathu!
Wenza ntoni ngabo? Zifake umbala okanye uziyeke zinjalo?
Emva kwemizamo engaphumeleliyo yokusebenzisa i-Sun-In (ngokusisiseko i-bleach yeenwele) kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, ndaqala ukufaka imibala kwiinwele zam ekholejini. Ukusukela ngoko ukuya phambili ndiye ndaqhubeka ndiyifaka imibala, ibhokisi ubukhulu becala kwaye emva koko ndiyenze ngobuchwephesha xa ndiqala ukusebenza. UThixo akanakuvumela ukuba iingwevu zam zibonise ukuba ndiphakathi kwe-20s yam! Umnyama osisiseko, amanqaku aphezulu, i-ombré, i-balayage, ndiyenze yonke. Ndide ndatyala imali kwi-wands yombala weengcambu kunye nezixhobo zokuqinisekisa ukuba andinawo nowona mboniso ungwevu.
Ngaba ucinga ukuba oku kuya kutshintsha kwixesha elizayo? Kutheni okanye kutheni kungenjalo?
Ekugqibeleni ndiyekile ukufaka imibala kwisithuba sonyaka onesiqingatha esidlulileyo emva kokuvumelana nayo. Ngoku ndinombala osikiweyo kwaye ndiyayithanda imitya yesilivere ebumba ubuso bam.
