Hair straightening is a hair styling technique which involves the flattening and straightening of hair in order to give it a smooth, streamlined, and 'sleek' appearance. It may be accomplished by using hair irons and hot combs, chemical relaxers, Japanese hair straightening, or Brazilian hair straightening and other countries(nowadays most of country's company can make a hair straightening). In addition, some shampoos, and conditioners and hair gels can help to make hair temporarily straight. The process is often called "rebonding" in Southeast Asia (e.g. Malaysia and Philippines).

Hair irons and hot combs can only temporarily modify hair texture, whereas relaxers and the other methods permanently alter the structure of the hair, although new hair growth is not affected. The drug interferon alpha has been reported as being shown to modify hair follicles causing permanent change in a person's hair texture.

Braids or Cornrows

Braids hairstyle

Braids, or Cornrows were also something that I wanted to try since I was kid, I used to like them a lot, so now that my hair is long enough, I decided to go for it and see how I would look with Braided hair, it was hard for me to find someone here make nice braids as it's not a common thing, but after some long researches I finally found someone who knows how to make great cornrows, it's a girl from Senegal that's studying here... 

it hurts as hell while she was braiding my hair :S I even had tears in my left eye lol but then after about 30 mins she was done braiding, to be honest I loved it, except that cornrows don't stay like that for too long :(

UPDATE: I have uploaded a how to braid cornrows video:

crazy braids

Cornrows, also known as braids, are a traditional African style of hair grooming where the hair is braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. Cornrows are often formed, as the name implies, in simple, straight lines, but they can also be formed in complicated geometric or curvilinear designs.
Often favored for their easy maintenance, cornrows can be left in for weeks at a time if maintained through careful washing of the hair and regular oiling of the scalp. If the scalp is not oiled properly however, prolonged styling with cornrows can result in dandruff and major hair loss.
Cornrowed hairstyles are often adorned with beads or cowry shells, in the African and Caribbean tradition. Depending on the region of the world, cornrows are typically worn by either men, women or both. Cornrows are known as canerow in parts of the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.

Afro Hairstyle :)

Afro Hair Style. As my hair is curly, when it was growing up, it started to look like the Afro hairstyle after a while, I loved it so much, except that it wasn't naturally a very lengthy kinky hair so I still had to comb and work on it a bit to make it look like that, and also when it got longer, it became hard to keep it still without using gel or a solidifying liquid (that I don't like to use on my hair). But it was still nice to try the crazy afro hair :D

Here is a tutorial on how to have an Afro hair style:

Wikipedia:

Afro, sometimes shortened to 'fro and also known as a "natural", is a hairstyle worn naturally by people with lengthy kinky hair texture or specifically styled in such a fashion by individuals with naturally curly or straight hair. The hairstyle is created by combing the hair away from the scalp, allowing the hair to extend out from the head in a large, rounded shape, much like a halo, cloud or ball.

In persons with naturally curly or straight hair, the hairstyle is typically created with the help of creams, gels or other solidifying liquids to hold the hair in place. Particularly popular in the African-American community of the late 1960s, the hairstyle is often shaped and maintained with the assistance of a wide-toothed comb colloquially known as an afro pick.
