When I first moved to Richmond, Virginia [back in 2007]...
I swear natural hair was a rare sighting. NOW, there is an explosion of natural hair WORLDWIDE!
So much so, that we’ve dedicated a calendar to natural hair!! www.naturalhaircalendar.com
This post was inspired by Naturally Flyy’s video. They speak about what inspires their meetup…
Charise and Jennifer Thomas believe African-American hair isn’t something to be tamed, weaved, or ironed into submission.
The Detroit sisters want black women to embrace their hair’s natural texture — and their aim is to offer the practical and social support needed for them to step out with confidence.

I find myself buying more and more greeting cards. I guess it’s one of those things you do when you become an adult.
I was super ecstatic to read that Andrea Pippins (fellow Temple University alumni) now has her very own! Yes - her own greeting card!
Yup…I agree with whatever he says…
I was in Las Vegas during the Oscars. Got a little R&R away from home with several people I hold close to my heart. It was awesome! I watched the Oscars in my hotel room (West cost time is so much better for these show.)
Imagine my excitement when I saw Viola Davis and Esperanza Spalding rockin’ their natural hair!!!! Yes, I saw the LA Times Spread with Viola, and Espernza’s afro before…but this is the Oscars. The second most watched TV event after the Super Bowl!! It is hard for me to contain my excitement while I type these words!!
Being natural for 10+ Years I have been told the craziest things. I’ve listed four natural hair misconceptions below..
One…You have to have curly hair to go natural
There are lots of naturals currently. Unfortunately, you do not see too many naturals with darker skin, and kinkier hair in the media. Hence, ladies use it as an excuse. “Oh, I can’t go natural because my hair doesn’t do that…or its not the right grade. Errp…Shut Down - Ms. Viola Davis is a beautiful example that natural hair is beautiful - with any skin tone, or hair type! Just check her LA Times spread!
Two…Men Do Not Find Natural Hair Attractive
At a time when Rhianna may be re-entering a relationship with Chris Brown – we don’t always see healthy Black relationships. According to Instyle reported Mrs. Viola Davis say
“My husband wanted me to take the wig off.” He said, ‘If you want to wear it for your career, that’s fine, but in your life wear your hair. Step into who you are!’ It’s a powerful statement.”
As for whether she’ll ever return to wigs, which she’s worn for years, she said: “We’ll see. I think I’ll change it up every once in a while. It gives me flavor. It makes me feel like I’m spicing my life up a bit.”
What a supportive husband! There are lots of good men out there who should love you for who you are, not what is on your head!

If you’re like me, you re-twist your hair on Sunday. This weekend, I will finish my hair routine on Saturday because…
I love the super bowl.
While I love the commercials…I also love how it brings people together.
