One of things that can sometimes confuse people is trying to determine whether they are experiencing breakage or excessive shedding. While both might seem similar, there are big differences between the two as well as different reasons why they occur. At some point in our natural hair journey most of us might have experience one or both of them. In order to get a little understanding of both, I will briefly define what each term means, the potential causes of them and some solutions you can … [Read more...]
Being smart with your natural hair products is the only way to get the best out of them in the price area. Some pricier brands are worth the extra cash but aren’t necessary for your week to week washes. Sometimes we buy those extra special hair products that cost more than we would like but are sooo worth the extra cash because of do what they do for your hair. The only problem is we can’t waste them on everyday routines or techniques that require half a bottle! I get it…money doesn’t … [Read more...]
Natural Hair Icon Rasheta The selfie is undoubtedly one of pop culture’s most loved and hated pastimes. Selfies are everywhere and The Oxford Dictionary even declared the word “selfie” as word of the year. Most of us have indulged in the occasional selfie, even the President, the Pope, and just about every celebrity you can name. As popular as they are, selfies have gotten much criticism. Some say selfies represent our heightened need to be connected to social media at all times and are … [Read more...]
Hand in hair syndrome is a real condition...Ok, maybe not according to the American MedicalAssociation but you get my point. Too many of us love touching, twisting, and playing in our hair. We love the feel the softness and the texture. I love touching my hair and knowing every coil and curl. Usually when I don’t seal (gasp, did she really admit that?) I tend to notice my hair feels a tad or severely rough. I always assume it’s not moisturized but honestly speaking, can touch determine the … [Read more...]
Hi I’m Tina, a late 20-something born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa and now living in NYC. How long have you been natural? I’ve been natural since March 26, 2010 so a little over 4years. What motivated you to transition? Were you a transitioner or a Big Chopper& why? My transition started with prompting from my hairdresser at time who asked me to do a Youtube search on “natural hair”. Back then, I was looking for a change and it ended up being the best discovery for me … [Read more...]

In May, some friends and I hosted the International Natural Hair Meet Up Day. This was the third year we have done the event and wanted to make this one the best year yet. We came up with the idea of having a panel discussion with natural hair stylists, natural hair bloggers, and the male perspective on natural hair. Little did I know, having two men on the panel would be a huge hit for the audience, in fact, it seemed like it was all we ended up talking about! The two men … [Read more...]
The big question is what is the difference between curly and kinky hair? Many people do not seem to distinguish between curly and kinky hair but structurally there is a rather major difference. Now kinky hair can also be curly but curly hair is not always necessarily kinky! (Reader question from Ehizele on why some hair is more ‘breakable’ will follow soon!!) Curly hair is simply a spiral or wave while kinky hair has a torsion twist (which can be felt as a permanent crimp) where the … [Read more...]

My name is Ana. I'm from the Dominican Republic and I'm 19. My hair journey started completely by accident. I was natural up until about age 10-12. I then went on to use relaxers.

How long have you been natural? It's really hard to tell, all I know it's that it's been a few years. What motivated … [Read more...]

When the love of your natural hair crosses the line to Obsessionville, it may be time to reevaluate some things and reprioritize. The domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc. is the definition of obsession. Here are 7 signs that you are dangerously close: 1. You treat your hair like another human being. You often refer to your coils as "her", as if you are speaking about one of your friends and have even given them a name. "Mahogany … [Read more...]
