by Black Girl With Long Hair  As part of a social experiment a group of black women — one natural, one loc’ed and on relaxed — stood on a street corner in New York holding signs saying “You Can Touch My Hair”.

My name is Dee, I live in Ottawa Canada. I run a blog called luvyourmane which is aimed at Black women. I created LYM when I just went natural and was on tumblr, pinterest, etc looking up hairspirations (as I like to call them) I would spend all night online, looking up hairstyles, tips, videos, etc. I started saving these pics on my computer to go over later and then decided to start a tumblr blog too so that I could share my faves. I brought LYM to Instagram in September of last year. I love … [Read more...]

Brittany Jones and I'm from Lufkin, Texas (a small country town population about 36,000). I'm 27 years old. I actually knew nothing about natural hair in the beginning.

Which was confusing to me because I had long hair when I was younger.How long have you been natural?June 30th … [Read more...]
