Volleybelles take 4th place;
Simpson makes all-tourney
BY CANDACE EVANS
Staff Reporter
If you've heard the saying,
“Keep hope alive” and watched
last month's volleybaU invitational,
then you must have realized that
hope wasn’t able to keep the
Volleybelles alive
The Volleybelles were 0-4 in
the Wesleyan College Invitational
against Baiber-Scotia, Peace Col
lege, and Morris College
Assistant Coach Jerry Patterson
said the reason the Belles lost the
first two tournament matches
against Wesleyan and Atlanta
Christian College is they were not
mentally prepared. He said that
for the Belles to win the following
game against Peace College they
must be "mentally focused."
“We have a good team but we
just need to come focused and
ready to play. Because we weren’t
mentally focused it killed our team
in the game earlier," Patterson
said.
Team captain Junie Rogers, a
junior biology major from Gary,
Ind. said mental errors are the prob
lem
"I definitely think that losing the
first game has prepared us to win
our games,” Rogers said.
During the Oct. 2 Bennett Col
lege Invitational match against
Peace College, the Belles were not
able to stop the opposition from
coming back and winning all three
matches.
The efforts of Michelle Simpson,
Tashauna Martin, and Natasha
Brooks were not enough for a Belle
victory. Simpson had two kills,
Marlin had four kills and two aces.
Brooks had three kills and two
aces.
However, all was not lost
Volleybelle. Simpson, a sopho
more psychology major from
Houston, Texas made all-touma-
ment.

Fake hair: problems, remedies
BY DARNITA HOWARD
Staff Reporter
"Hair. Hair. Hair. Long, beau
tiful hair.”
This line came from the 1970s
hit rock musical “Hair.”
Who knew that those lyrics
would be a foresight of today’s
hairstyles?
Images of women from dif
ferent races and ethnic back
grounds display a variety of hair
styles for every occasion.
Approximately 50 percent of
the 600 plus Bennett Belles wear
hairstyles such as knots, layers,
straw curls, pin curls, long shags,
and many more.
Most of these hairstyles are
achieved with the use of exten
sions or “tracks.”
Extensions are used to drama
tize styles and create a fuller
appearance of hair — without re
quiring the necessary length of time
for hair to grow.
The normal rate of hair growth
is approximately a half inch per
month, which totals six inches a
year. However, with the aid of
extensions, a person can produce
six inches or longer within min
utes.
Weaving and bonding are the
two common methods of attaching
extensions and both methods use
synthetic or human hair.
Weaving involves attaching
hair by sewing the hair extension
into the person’s hair. This is done
by braiding the person’s hair and
then using a heavy-duty thread to
connect the strip of hair to the
braided hair. This process contin
ues until the scalp is covered with
the long tresses. Tight braiding
may result in minor headaches or
discomfort in the beginning.
Bonding hair involves gluing
the extension to the hair. Braiding
of the hair is not required in this
procedure. As a word of caution,
make sure that the bonding glue
does not come in contact with the
scalp.
Dr. Tariq Madyun, a derma
tologist, spokeoutatSummit 2000
in 1997 about the health of hair
during a panel discussion given by
Essence magazine.
MarkSt continued from Page 1
businesses.
In 1996, Greensboro voters ap
proved $1 million in bond funding
to begin the recommended im
provements.
According to the nonprofit or
ganization Initiative for a Com
petitive Inner City, 25 percent of
inner-city retail demand is cur
rently not met by urban retailers.
Melody Caldwell agrees.
“It bothers me that I have to
drive all the way to Wendover
Avenue to find stores like Wal-
Mart and Target," said Caldwell, a
sophomore biology major from
Newark, NJ.
"When the glue comes in con
tact with the scalp, it can cause a
severe reaction that leads to scar-
tissue formation in the follicles,"
Madyun said.
Pamela McCain, a hairstylist at
Boz & Co. Hair Design Studio in
downtown Greensboro gave rec
ommendations on using the meth
ods of weaving and bonding.
McCain said that weaving
should be used if you plan to main
tain extensions for several weeks,
and bonding should be used to
maintain extensions for a few days.
“I do not recommend a person
to use the method of weaving if
they have thin hair,” McCain said.
Another licensed cosmetolo
gist, LaKenda Crook a fresh-
woman sociology major fit)m San
Francisco, Calif, said that the ten
sion of the bonding glue on hair is
not good unless you know how to
remove the extension properly.
“In removing extensions, one
should have the proper items: pro
fessional bond removal solution,
conditioner and/or a heavy, oil-
based product," Crook said.
“Oil sheen is too light to use.”
