I'm sorry but it needs to be said. Some of us in the Natural haired community are driving a wedge between the whole lot with this constant quest to define, find, or make some damn curls in their hair! There's no other way to describe this other than chasing the curl dragon. It is so unnecessary and a little disheartening... I understand. You are a newly Natural or thinking about going Natural. You want or expect your hair to look a certain way. You want an instant halo of cascading curls … [Read more...]

Hi. I'm Tiffany James from Ocilla GA now living in Lithonia GA. How long have you been natural? I have been natural for a little over 4 years and my luscious fro has been red the entire time. What motivated you to transition? Were you a transitioner or a Big Chopper& why? I guess you could say I transitioned while I was pregnant my grandmother told me I couldn't get a relaxer. So I either kept it braided or wore a sew in. Once I had my son I big chopped. How would you … [Read more...]
1. (4) Hair Pins Whether it’s a bobby pin, hair pin, mini pin or roller pin… Hair Pins are a MUST HAVE to tame that stray piece of hair that can’t seem to find its bun, change a hairstyle completely (it wasn’t working!), or poke a jammed CD/DVD out of a laptop. (It works.) Tip: Try Spin Pins for curly hair! No more damaging your curly ends with flat pins! Just twist your hair into a rope, wrap it around itself, tuck the ends under, and turn the spin pins in at opposite … [Read more...]
“What am I supposed to do about my hairline? It’s completely gone!” Have you ever had this thought over and over and over again? I know I have, especially after a long term style like Senegalese twists or a sew-in. My edges cry out for some lovin' and I cry with them...why? Well, why shouldn’t we cry together? My edges have been through a lot over the last 3 years of my hair journey: 1. Pre-year of being natural, I was just getting off the relaxer and did not even think about my edges, but … [Read more...]
So you may be thinking “what is texlaxed?” and am I natural if I texlax? The answer to that question is quite simple, no. Texlaxing your hair means to "under process" your hair so that the relaxer is not left on your hair long enough to make your hair bone straight. Your hair may still have some texture but it’s not your natural curl pattern. In order to consider yourself natural this would mean that in no way is your hair chemically processed or altered. There are so many debates in the … [Read more...]

For some of us, when we first go back natural the first thing we want to find out is “what curl type do I have”? It can be exciting, especially if you do not really remember what your natural hair looks like after years of it being alerted. Personally, I am not a huge fan of categorizing “curl patterns” and to be honest when it comes to buying the right product for your hair, curls patterns will not help decide which products will work for you. Many naturals actually find out that they have a … [Read more...]
I can officially write a post like this with an unbiased opinion, I transitioned for a year and 3 months and I have just big chopped! Yaay! Deciding to start a natural hair journey can be scary- really scary. You know that embarking on a hair journey will mean cutting off relaxed or damaged ends, and growing out your beautiful curls. There are two ways for this to be done: performing a big chop or transitioning. There are pros and cons to both of these methods that should be considered before … [Read more...]
Curly hair is more prone to tangles than straight hair. It's a fact and it's a reality we curly/coily/kinky haired Naturals need to accept and embrace. This doesn't mean we are doomed and must suffer through washing or co-washing. This just means we need to find ways to fight the tangles without hurting our tresses. Our hair knots up so washing in sections can alleviate some of our hair trauma by working with it instead of working against it. This will also keep us from spending too … [Read more...]

Hey now! My name is Ihsan Mujahid, how you doooooing, lol. How would you describe your style? I actually think my style is indescribable. I don’t follow trends. I just wear what makes me feel good. I can be dressed with a beat face and 6inches on my feet one day and be in jeans, sneakers, and a snap back the next day. My fashion is as versatile as my hair. How do you decide what to wear in the morning? Sometimes that decision is a struggle. I generally think about how I I’m feeling … [Read more...]
