Naturally Fierce Feature: Briana

My name is Briana Alyssa and I am originally from Los Angeles. Both my mother and fathers side are from Arkansas and my hair is definitely a blend of both family's traits. My thickness is from my dads side and I owe having long hair most of my life to my mothers side. I am often questioned if Im "mixed" because of my curls but both parents are African American. I received my first perm when I was nine because my mom couldn't handle how thick my hair was. My last perm was when I was 13, I decided … [Read more...]

I thought about going natural but wasn't sure if I really … [Read more...]


Naturally Fierce Feature: Endia

My name is Endia Nicole. I was born in Hawaii and moved to Indiana when I was 8, currently I'm 27 (28 in July). My mother is Samoan and my father is African American. I've always struggled with my hair when I was younger. I actually got teased a lot due to the texture and length of it. I ended up getting perms and iron outs in middle school throughout high school and early college. I usually got 1 perm a year that was enough. I definitely had a lot of heat damage, but was in denial. It wasn't … [Read more...]
