Janelle Monae Updo Inspired

I’ve been on the fence… Should I post Natural Hair inspired videos weekly?  Let me know if you enjoy watching…


This week’s natural hair inspiration is Ms. Janelle Monae: “Tightrope (Wondamix)” (feat. B.o.B, Lupe Fiasco).  I watched a clip for the making the video, and Janelle Monae said something along the lines…

We have to keep our balance in it all
Not getting to high off accolades and praises
And not to low of opinions and critics
This is the tight rope
Push that movement
This is what you say to the people who try to oppress you
You tip on it
You tip on it
to stay balance

I preach a lot about individuality, and daring to be yourself, but dang it, Ms. Monae is the poster child of individuality! Her comments above also show she is a genius!  The more I listen to her music, the more inspired I become…

Low Country Expo

I am very excited about the month of October!!  Why you ask…Well I will be attending TWO specifically natural hair events!  My face hurts from all my smiling.  During eBriading.net’s December 2009 Sanata Magazine Launch, I had the opportunity to meet several great HAIR-Lovers like Darrryl Goodman.


Right to Left: Ansylla (My Hairitage), Daryl Goodman (Low Country Expo), “Sy” Sahande (eBraiding.net),  Chatto (Chatto Skin Care), and mee Lady Kinnks.

Since 2006 Darryl and his associates have hosted Low Country Exposure, Fashion and Beauty Seminar in Charleston SC. The Seminar focused on the Fashion and Beauty Industry through classroom lectures, CEU classes, Fashion Show and product demonstration.  In 2009, they added a Natural Beauty Seminar in October, with the focus on the Natural Hair and its growing choice by Women for its styles!! 

You saw the two words, Natural Hair so I will be in attendance this October…

Who’s Minding Our Business?

by Laquita

It wasn’t long ago when natural hair wearers had to either go on a scavenger hunt for products to maintain their natural tresses or become Kitchen Beauticians and make their own. Nowadays, you can go into practically any store and find products that are geared toward maintaining and styling natural hair.

As a result of the natural hair surge, many large corporate cosmetic companies have also, for lack of a better term, jumped on the natural hair bandwagon, touting products for ‘curly’ hair and/or ones that contain natural ingredients such as Olive Oil and Shea Butter.

Years from now, will these larger companies end up buying out the smaller internet or home-based ones making them obsolete? Will executives without a strand of natural hair on their heads end up selling natural products? The following bloggers/natural hair product makers shared their thoughts with Kinnks.
