Hey you guys! My sister’s thinking about going natural! Can you believe it??!!
Her reason: she’s tired of the chemicals and being Mrs. Scabby Scalp. Below is her current hair length.

While talking to my friend (who also has natural hair), she confessed to me that she made a hair appointment to go get a virgin perm. I was shocked and horrified! “NOOOO!” I screamed on the other line. Her reason: manageability.
The first thing I said to her is “everyone with natural hair will have issues [...]

Sorry that I’ve been away. I’ve been uninspired and unmoved to write. Natural can be like that sometimes…I’ll try to get better! )
After jogging yesterday, my roommate and I thought it was best to go swimming to cool off and treat ourselves. Know the damaging effects on chlorine, I used my Glycerine concoction heavily. The refreshing water was [...]

Please don’t fret because the comments never stop. I’m home visiting my parents before I start my new job (more on that in a bit). I PROMISE YOU….Every time I see my grandma (yes, the same one who rocks the wig) she always asks, “OMG, what did you do with your hair?” I’ve learned to [...]

to cut off all my hair again. ((Sorry, I know its been a minute.)) My hair has gotten extremely thick this past month in the back. I don’t know what’s going on. Okay, “yay!” But goodness, its getting out of control! Thickness can be your friend or enemy. Right now, we’re at war.
I’m already extremely [...]

If you don’t hear the sarcasm in my writing, please understand that I am totally against something like this.
I remember hearing something about a product but I couldn’t remember the name…MSG…CTG…MCT? No, its MTG. MTG (Mane-Tail-Groom) is a product that is swiftly becoming popular for ladies who are au naturale. How wonderful! But…MTG is made for [...]

M.A.D. MAD! I’m very upset for a number of reasons. The first reason is that my hair is extremely dry. As I said, I’m trying to use more natural products for my natural hair that will enhance moisture. I’ve played around with shea butter and that helped some. I also bought some coconut oil and that seems [...]

So I decided to come to Pittsburg to visit my best friend…I’M FREEZING. I’ve only been here for three days so far but I’ve already noticed my hair responding to the weather.
Positive - there’s no Florida humidity here (no heat and no water). When its moist outside (everyday apparently), my hair literally SOAKS it up. Its great because [...]

Okay, I’m getting tired of my hair. Its not that it’s hard to manage or anything, but I actually miss (the broad opportunity of) styling my hair. Since my hair is all of 1 1/2 inches, there’s not much to do with it. (
But good news!! I pulled back the front with a headband today! The [...]
