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.
