About the author, Lady Kinnks
There has been a lot of buzz about a casting call for MTV’s True Life on Hair.
I feel my obsessed should grant me my very own episode of TRUE LIFE, so I wrote the following letter…
Dear Casting Director,
I have attached a picture of myself admiring my hair. I am still working on my growth journey.
::sigh::
Yes, my reflection in a mirror makes me stop and check out my kinnks.
Is your hair your obsession? Yes. I dedicated an entire website to natural hair.
Do your friends and family think you are out of control with your hair obsession? Yes, they tell me daily.
Do you spend hours of your day and week to style and manage your hair? Yes, but don’t most women?
Are you digging yourself into a financial hole just to deal with your hair? The term is product junkie.

Yes, it is that time again…to set goals, and yes, accomplish them!
It seems every year, people look in the mirror, list their dissatisfaction…and vow to do the opposite. I think the top New Years Resolutions are weight, smoking, financial stability, etc.
How can one stay on track? Set realistic goals…
Goals should be
· From the Heart – If its from the heart, you are more likely to be more passionate, and devoted to the task at hand
· Multitask – Set several goals, even the ones you think are unattainable
· Quantify – Be specific my measuring, and setting a time frame for your goal.
· Write It Down – Write it into existence
· Revisit & Readjust – Check in with yourself, what action steps will bring you closer to your goals?
· Get Inspired – READ, do research to get you closer to your goals.
· Accountability - Tell the cheerleader of you life to keep you on track.
· Stay Positive – Goals are just guides, You Can Do it!
The first few years I was natural I was really lost. I would wear mostly ‘fros and scarfs, or variations of the two. If I was lucky my roomie would braid my hair. Sometimes I would rock braids just in the front, with a ‘fro in the back. A few times she even did Allen Iverson skeleton braids.
My mom was not very fond of my uneven ‘fros, or my black t-shirt cover up bun. She would ask “Why don’t you go press your hair”.
I didn’t understand her dislike at first. I have always known her to have short hair. Half of the time it was natural.


A few weeks before graduation, my mom asked, “Should I get a perm or cut my hair?” I of course said, NATURAL!
