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!

omfg when I saw this my jaw dropped, I did a double take and I quickly pressed download. Your skills are wow and I am soooo happy someone is doing afro hair. This means a lot to me because I am trying to grow my afro to be huge. Wow, just wow, thank you for your amazing creation!

Are Still Taking Ideas?

Thank you so much for this. Finding quality ethnic hairstyles for the Sims 3 can be quite difficult. This hair and the other styles you did are amazing.

By any chance, if you do decide to do the box braid hairstyle from the page before, can you also do a retexture so that is looks like senegalese twists?

It's a shame that the Sims 3 store lacks diversity, reality states that women of all colors rock curly hair, afros, frohawks, twist, locks, and braids!!! I'm so glad that you exist representing the soul sim lovers. Thank you!!!

I have been searching forever for some NICE afro-texured hairstyles for TS3. Noux on MTS made some lovely ones for TS2 but isn't planning to convert them. And everything else I've seen have been so blocky and/or sad excuses of an afro that just looked like a texurized bowl was thrown on someones head. Since you've made this over a year ago it doesn't seem like you'll be making more at least not anytime soon, but it's still nice I have a natural looking style for my black sims. n.n
