Where Natural Hair is the Norm!!!

On January 7, 2012 I decide to do what I have not done in 1+ years: get my hair straightened and trimmed. God knows it needed it. I had damaged ends, crazy fairy knots and I wanted a change.
To be honest, for the first 3-5 days I loved my straight look during the day. At night, that was another story. I haven't had to wrap my hair in over 1 year so that was a challenge. But I resolved that issue by doing bantu knots at night and wearing the loose wavy look. My fiance was loving it too. He had picked out a name for my newly straightened hair, Felicity (My natural hair's name that my fiance picked out is Angela after Ms. Angela Davis). After the first week, I was missing my kinky curly hair. I hated sleeping in bantu knots and missed my twistouts and…

Hello Beautiful Ladies and Gentlemen been a while I did one of my fashion forward posts....glad to be back !
I've always been a fan of the geek look. Ever since I cut my hair, my style frequently verges on the androgynous. I like however to create a balance between masculintiy and feminity. The geek look is very in tres chic and putting your own stamp on it makes it uniquely you.
Here's my take on it:
I love bright bold colours, so adding some colour softens the look and makes it a bit more feminine. I have also sewn some frills along the front of a plain white shirt. The trousers and bow tie I made from some Kente African print. Don't forget your geek glasses Pulls the whole look together.

It was after this beautiful little girl came into my bathroom and said, "Mommy, I am going to grow up and have pretty, straight hair like yours" when I truly decided to do the 'Big Cut'. I had been debating my decision for months but this was the defining moment for me.
I quickly hugged her and said you do not have to wait because your hair is already beautiful. She looked in the mirror at her beautiful, kinky locs and then at my straight, relaxed hair. I could tell what I told her didn't quite match with her little four years old understanding.
I decided enough with the madness....
I did the Big Cut that evening and it literally freed me from my hair insanity. All my life, people have always described my hair as nappy (while…

So, I looked in the mirror last Thursday and sighed at my dry, thirsty tresses. My hair was in desperate need of a wash, but I ignored the washday marked on my calendar and carried on about my day. My hair was styled in a low chignon, so it wasn’t like there was an immediate need for cleansing…okay, so maybe there was…as each time I scratched my scalp, it snowed (if you know what I mean). Still, I looked toward my shower and just shook my head wearily, not today, I told myself. Well, not today turned into not this week, and I’ve yet to submit to the needs of my strands.
We’ve all been there. The thought of spending 2-4 hours or more washing, detangling, and deep conditioning our hair can sometimes be draining. I personally chose Thursdays to wash my hair because it’s such a chore that I didn’t want to spoil my weekends doing it. The entire process from start to finish can take an average of 3 hours—if it was a fro week, tack on an extra…

Dear NaturalSunshine.com,
I Love you! I really love you. What you mean to me is hard to reduce to writing, yet allow me to try to sum it up into words...
This website was an idea my husband had. When he initially made the suggestion, I responded with a bewildered," I can't do that!" Who would join? I don't even know how to do something like that."Up until that time, the most I had ever done with a computer was check my e-mail, blog a little and I had finally learned how to customize my Myspace page. The terms URL, HTML, RSS and the like, meant nothing to…

The Coil Review just launched a new commercial, "Operation Get Naturals: Mission Possible," and it has raised quite a few hairs. While some love it just as much as their other commercials, there are others who are not too pleased with the whole idea of naturals trying to recruit non-naturals. The video begins with the following statement:
“Naturals, we need you to help banish the self-inflicted harm to scalps, strands, and follicles around the world for both young and old. This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.”
The premise is a group of undercover naturalistas who send a “spy” into the local beauty shop, where women are chemically straightening their hair, to introduce the unique beauty of natural hair. The mission is to break the mold of what The Coil Review believes to be a harmful practice that has…

So, Madame C. J. Walker is well known for her advocacy for black hair products. To many black women, she is the face and mother of a straight European look for us. She started with the same problem many of us had; she couldn't keep hair on her head. So she made her own product line and became the infamous entrepreneur we remember her for today. She wasn't the inventor of the hot comb but she used them; and since she did make such an impact on society many black women followed in her path and straightened their hair while using her products. And hence the straight hair epidemic was born for black women. Ms. Walker used the tools she had available to help her obtain the healthiest hair she knew how...hm...used the tools she had available to obtain HEALTHY hair... If The Madam were…
