Half Braided Afros
By request, a loose afro style with cornrows on the side.
There are some transparency issues with this hair from certain angles, and I'm fairly certain these issues cannot be fixed short of remeshing the trouble parts. Since I've already remeshed this thing once, I'm calling it a day and saying it's good enough. I'm experimenting with a couple different methods for creating a poofy afro texture without resorting to the whole solid-ball-covered-with-transparent-outline trick, so this was one of the results. There will be more in the future.
Despite all the above, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. (I just have a little bit more to learn for next time!)
The poly count is a little on the higher side, at about 8400 polys. This hairstyle is enabled for children unisex and for teen-elder females. Enjoy!

I need to think more about
I need to think more about both of those (either converting it myself or giving someone else the ok to convert it). I'll post another reply when I reach an answer.
:D
thank you for thinking about it :) that makes me happy to read.
I decided that I'm okay
I decided that I'm okay giving permission to someone else who wants to convert this mesh. I have made a request topic at GoS. You are also welcome to ask around anywhere else to see if someone would like to convert this hair, but please direct them to me after they agree so that I can provide them with the original files that will make the conversion easier.

Oh Yeah!!
Kitty you are absolutely amazing, this is fantastic, omigod!!! How in the HELL did you do this?? First of all, I don't know if you know of Erykah Badu, (my favorite artist)but she had a photo shoot and her hair was EXACTLY like this, I don't know if that's where your inspiration came from but it's uncanny. Secondly, thank you thank you thank you, for all these much needed ethnic hairstyles, they inspire me so much to make sims that are different and edgier, my story lines have become so much more interesting. Thirdly, you're an awesome creator, always different, and always ahead of the game.

cOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH
......Right. Thanks to you, after using this hair on my Sims in the last few days, I'm seriously considering in getting this style IRL next week. With sew ins and a partial crow, of course. I'm too....ahem. Attached to relaxer.
But thank you for making this! After seeing these latest hairs, plus the new African-themed EA ones (especially one that's a super-cute cornrow/straight hair fallover that I am REALLY interested in re-making just to make it longer), the game is way much more interesting. Definitely looking forward to what you have in store in the future! /bookmarks
You .. are.. REALLY.. good..
This is totally wowing me.
The mesh and texture are truly AMAZING.
Could I request proper dreadlocks for males from you hand?
Cause if they are going to be high quality like the other hair you made so far, they will rule the roost in Sim-Dreadlock-lovers-land. :)
OMG this is great i love this
OMG this is great i love this hairstyle..i did what you said on how to create hairs and lets just say it dint turn out well lol but i had one question next time you do a edit or a new creation do you mind making the afro side of the hairstyle flat like straight hair im trying to find a hairstyle other than coolsims one because it crashed my game please and thank you
Dammmn
STUNNING! This is soooo sick, well done. Thank you
Fabulous work
Ty so much for doing these. I am trying to use them in game, but I think they are not compatible with version 1.26 or 1.29? I've tried and they do not show up. Hopefully I can use them soon. I've been dying for some ethnic hair.

False alarm.
