My name is Bri LaShae’, I was born in Indianapolis but my family is from TN. I’m 22 years old, and a church girl all the way! How long have you been natural? I have been natural for 2 years going on 3 years. What motivated you to transition? Were you a transitioner or a Big Chopper& why? I wanted to go natural because I missed my long think hair and over the years the CREAMYCRACK (PERM) was just eating my hair up. My hair became very brittle and started to look a lot like … [Read more...]
There are times when I two strand twist my hair and I am lazy. Honestly, regardless of if I am doing small, medium or chunky twists there are times when I might not be focusing because I am watching my favorite program and then something like this happens. Can you see it? You know what I mean right? I cannot be the only person this happens occasionally happens to. One stand of the twist does that lovely wraparound twist but the second sort of just hangs there being wrapped. In my case it … [Read more...]
My name is Shunte and I was born-and-raised in Atlanta, Georgia—currently thriving in Dallas, Texas.

1. Tell us a little bit about your background. Kierra Craig,I reside in the DMV metro area. I've been natural for two years thus far! I'm constantly encouraging the young girls I work with to embrace their natural hair! 2. How long have you been natural? Have you always embraced your curls? I've been on my naturally curly hair journey for two years. I haven't always embraced my tight ringlets/'s' shaped curls. Since I can remember the flat iron WAS my best friend (seriously, we were in … [Read more...]
Returning to natural after a lifetime’s worth of relaxers can be a scary feat and for most women it is. Not only are you altering your image, but for some women it can completely alter their perception of what looks good on them and what does not. Personally I’m still in the early stages of my journey (I call it my “awkward” phase). Returning to my natural was actually an accident on my behalf, but it was a happy one regardless. I was a senior in high school and I already was highly self … [Read more...]
Farrin Sloan from Indianapolis, Indiana currently living in Huntsville, Alabama. How long have you been natural? I have been natural my whole life. When I was younger I struggled with having big and curly hair. I always asked my mom to give me a hair relaxer but my mom would never let me get it. As I got older i realized why my mother never gave me a relaxer and I'm so happy she didn't. How would you describe your hair? My hair is it's own all the time, it does whatever it wants. I … [Read more...]
Many times I get that question… How do you stop your hair from breaking from hair dye? Rather in fact it is a question I get ALL THE TIME… my answer to this is very simple probably too simple… I ensure my hair is never lacking in moisture and of course deep conditioning. I don’t think people understand how critical and important moisturizing our hair especially colored treated hair can be. To begin with, and I am sure my natural sisters out there with colored hair can attest to this … [Read more...]
How many times have you heard this “I want to go natural can you give me some tips?” Only to hear this a few weeks later : “Girl!! I couldn’t do it, it is just too hard” Yeah, I know, we all have. As a natural, well let me speak for myself this constant back and forth and “giving up” has always been annoying. Mentally, I felt like the person lacked commitment, patience and courage to take such a liberating journey. But, could I be wrong? Why? Why can’t some of our sisters make such a step…a … [Read more...]

For many of us, going natural was a personal statement of self-acceptance. It was a commitment to getting rid of harmful chemicals in your hair regime, and living a life where your natural hair and health were priority. We looked society’s Eurocentric beauty standards in the face and said, “Nah boo!”and as a result, our self-esteem skyrocketed! We realized that part of that commitment meant getting rid of weaves and wigs and anything that is not naturally OURS. We went natural and rocked … [Read more...]
