I was blessed to spend time with my brother and family in Arizona. The dessert’s beautiful tones were breathtaking. I had the opportunity to jot notes during a heart-to-heart discussion with my sister-in-law about her 20-year natural hair voyage. I am inspired that Denise is not only in love with her natural hair, but proud to rock her beautiful graying hair. Who says graying hair is taboo?

I have had relaxers, Jheri curl (Michael Jackson look), and hair extensions. I actually wore extensions for three years at one point. I would take them out and put them right back in. No matter what style I tried, I always came back to natural. Natural is easy, and it pleased my husband. Being natural is convenient. 
Childhood
Back in the day, If you had short hair in Trinidad, they would call you all types of names. When I was nine or ten, I would wear my afro puffs. I was Ruff –n –tuff with my afro puffs. When I first had my full afro, it was back in the 70s. At first, everyone wanted to press their hair. I was too young; my grandmother would not allow me to. Then the black power movement came, and I was finally in style with my ‘fro.

I am so hurt and sad. If you have the means, I listed options for providing financial support. You can make a difference… donating just five dollars will mean a lot to an earthquake victim. Look at that (wo)man in the mirror!

January 4, 2009 we posted our first entry, My Natural Hair Story. Lady Kinnks presents, the Psychology of Natural Hair. A blog is born! Before taking on this enormous task, I struggled. Does the internet really need another natural hair blog? I decided to invest the time into creating a blog to speak on the natural hair experience rather than the “how to”. Race, age and gender influence my experience, but it is amazing how different your experiences are by just having natural hair! Can you believe there are enough stories to full a blog? Lady Kinnks blog is year old today!! Within 2009 our Kinnks Directory grew to over 400 links all dedicated to natural hair! We also successfully opened our shoppe, with three types of Kinnks Tees.
