AFRO DEMANDS POWER

Posted by Portia on January 7, 2013 at 11:00pm 10 Comments

Have u ever realized the kind of power afro demands?

I don't know about you but i realised that our hair signifies POWER!!!. 

There is just something about it because when i see a woman with afro that very moment, she demands respect without saying a thing. It's not that u are not confident enough to wear your fro. The fact that u already have a fro means u are confident but the question is : Can u handle the power that comes with it?

HMMM.. think about that for a…

Black People Don't Do That...

Posted by Jean on January 8, 2013 at 2:53am 21 Comments

Now, let me explain the title... I have been doing some soul searching and I happened on two YouTube videos one by a lady named shamelesamaya and a recent video post by our very own Sunshine both talk about being yourself and living shameless lives. These words have been chasing me down everywhere I go. So now I am going to face the reasons why I have been running from these very words.



In my immediate circle of friends and family I am probably the only one interested in blogging and… Continue

When it's not OK to follow the crowd...

My two-year anniversary is near (17 months natural, 7 months transition), and I wouldn't have made it this far without the support and growth of communities like NatSun and Youtube.  

 

But as I observe many women who don't want to "experience the hassle" of natural hair, I hear the same reasons of why so many naturals revert back to relaxers.

Bentonite Clay, My Saving Grace!!! (After pics included!)

Posted by Kay LaVon on December 30, 2012 at 6:31pm 8 Comments

Hey fellow Curlies!

  I recently tried Bentonite Clay after a year of watching countless videos of women using it as a detoxifying agent. I watched Black Onyx (one of my YouTube idols) and many others apply the clay as a facial mask, hair conditioner, and I even saw a couple of people drink it to detoxify the inside of their bodies! 

   For those who don't know what it is and was curious, it is a 100% natural clay made for the ash of volcanoes In Spain or other locations. I…

My BC revealed I was thinning!

Posted by Femfirefighter on December 29, 2012 at 2:38am 9 Comments

I was inspired by Tanya Robinson's blog to go ahead and post the pic. When I did the BC, I noticed a couple of bald spots at the top of my head. I was devastated to say the least. I am one month post BC and now I noticed that my hair had grown back. I debated on posting before and after pics but I backed out because of embarrassment. It wasn't until I read Tanya's blog about her cousin cutting off all of her hair. I won't tell Tanya's story on my blog, I'd rather you read it from hers instead.… Continue

With my cousin’s permission I am going to share her story with you….

On December 22, 2012 my Husband, her two daughters, and I took part in cutting off my cousin’s hair.  She had been growing her locs for the past 15 years.  She has stomach cancer and the chemotherapy treatments that she is taking will cause her hair to fall out.  She decided to get her hair cut rather than just watch it all fall out.  So with much strength, courage, and grace she sat patiently while all her beautiful…

Shrinkage >=(

Started by Shaina B. in Products and Regimens Apr 19. 0 Replies

Hi ladies!I have been doing wash & go's heavily since november and up until mid march they were coming out soooo good! To the point that it was all I ever wanted to do. But once mid march hit my hair started reacting very funny to eco styler gel. I tried eco in august and it flaked so bad I never touched it until november. Now that the seasons have changed again (I Live in NYC) its a bit warmer and the humidity is very high I've found that my hair reacts very badly to the gel. Its so flaky…Continue

Dry Texas heat Is killing my hair!

Hey Ladies I need advise,I have been natural about 2 years now and I love wearing my hair out, but it gets so dry and brittle from the heat here.I do the co washing,deep conditioning and moisturizers, drinking water everything but my hair just soaks it up.The only time it stays pretty soft and nice is if I plait it up and stick to protective styles, I have really considered cutting really short but not sure I would have the issues or not..Any ideas?Continue

Avoiding Water in the Winter

Started by Shaina B. in Products and Regimens. Last reply by Natasha Dec 14, 2012. 3 Replies

So when I first b/c'ed my hair I was a dedicated finger coil chick until I got some length and didnt like how the coils didnt reflect that. I began shingling my hair and Im in LOVEEEE =))))) but... I live in NYC so the weather is not exactly something I should be outside with wet or damp hair. So here's my question: What do I do with my hair while its still pretty short to do much with, but its too cold outside to refresh my wash & go?? I tried doing the diffuser but it kinda makes my hair…Continue

Hydratherma Natural

Does hydratherma natural products really work? I am wondering if my hair needs the protein that she talks about. It looks like everyone gives the products great reviews on youtube and I am interested in trying it but wondering if it is worth the money.Continue
