Naturally Fierce Feature: Hennalice

My name is Hennalice Silva, and I'm Cape Verdean (West Africa) but I was born and raised in the Netherlands. I'm 27 years old and graduated with a Bachelor of Law. How long have you been natural? How you was embraced your curls?  My hair has always been like this, but that does not mean that I haven’t ruined it by pressing and dying my hair a lot! I haven’t dyed my hair for 2.5 years now. I don’t press my hair unless it’s my birthday or a special occasion where I need to be classier and not … [Read more...]

Naturally Fierce Feature: Angel

My name is Angel. I was born, raised and still live in Los Angeles. The hair goes where I go; the office, the gym, the dance studio, restaurants and everywhere in between. How long have you been natural? Almost 25 years (my whole life)! I've noticed that the "natural hair movement" is geared a lot towards spotlighting and encouraging those who were not always natural (understandably so) and I hear very little from those who have been.  What motivated you to stay natural? At first, my being … [Read more...]


Naturally Fierce Feature: Kennedy

My name is Kennedy!! I'm born and raised in Atlanta, Ga. I got my first perm in the 4th grade! My grandmother actually snuck and took me. I used to complain allllll the time about how big my hair was and how I wanted it to look like the other girls in my class (straight). My mom came home and was pissssseedddd! Lol. She never was a big "hair do-er" so she got over it pretty fast after she realized how manageable my hair had become after the perm. Since then, I had been receiving a perm at least … [Read more...]

Naturally Fierce Feature: Ashley White

My name is Ashley White and I’m 24 years old. I was born and raised in Detroit, but I currently reside in Farmington Hills (a suburb of Detroit).  My hair journey has been interesting to say the least. You could say that I’m a newbie and I’m still figuring out what works for me and what doesn’t. What’s been funny about my hair journey is that in those moments where I wanted to give up on being natural, someone would come up to me and say “I just love your hair.” How long have you been … [Read more...]
