Once I started wearing my natural hair, he probably had his hands in my hair as much as I did. He was just as enthralled by what could be done with natural hair as I was.
Then came locs
Unfortunately, Ethan couldn’t be with me when I got my micro locs installed. The day after installation was the first time he saw them, and I had prepared him for the worst. Most people don’t like the initial look. His first reaction was, “Oh. They look REALLY GOOD!”
He faithfully drove me hours away from our home to get my hair maintained. He footed what totaled an enormous bill for my hair over the course of a year. When I need to retighten my hair now, he happily occupies our 4-year-old daughter. He has never ever complained about what could easily be looked at as a hassle with my hair. Instead, he encourages me. He loves natural, and everything else – the driving, the money, the time - is inconsequential.
My blogging begins
With my blog, I spend a considerable amount of time writing and researching as well as reading, watching and promoting other naturals’ resourceful information. Is it too much time for Ethan?
Not at all. Once again, he has only been a source of encouragement. He recently said, “It’s great that you just want to help people.”
He helps me help other naturals by being my personal photographer. Most of the pictures on my blog were taken by Ethan.
We have taken note of innumerable black naturals with white men. We like to believe that these white men are encouraging their black women to embrace what’s naturally theirs. That’s what happened in our case.
Ethan has taken an active interest in my natural hair. He listens to my discoveries and watches the Youtube hair videos I love. He had an interest in natural hair before I did. My natural hair obsession started with one white man.

]]>How does your hair affect your social life? Oh I love attending Natural Hair Inspired events.
Do you have unwanted hair, or not the “right” hair?That is what society tells me.
Are you someone with a hormone imbalance that leads to hair loss, or facial hair growth? Awwwh hell no…
In actually I would be a very poor rated reality star. I have a HEALTHY love of hair. I embrace my Kinnks, and hope that my self pride will encourage others to love them self unconditionally. If embracing your natural hair is that catalysis…then so be it!

I liked my loose natural hair. But I LOVE my locked hair. It’s funny. The things that repulsed me about locs are the things that attracted me to them. I can ditch my comb. No super long, frustrating detangling sessions. The so-called manipulation to form locs was minimal. My Sisterlocks were installed, and my only maintenance has been in my roots, my new growth.
Presently, I have re-entered the world of DIY-ers and maintain my locs on my own. I know exactly what I am going to do with my hair. Be happy. Be proud.

Happy Monday!
What do you think of the video?
]]>After taking a deep breath, I remembered my Letter to Relaxed Sistas. But, then there are the natural hair instigators, or Jerks who parade around condemning creamy crack.
I know its selfish, but sometimes, I just want natural hair to quiet down a bit. I want to yell, It ain’t new people!
Less than 40 years ago the ‘fro of Angela Davis symbolized Revolution. Now, a fro is affectionately displayed on Sesame Street.
Do you think that natural hair’s growing POPularity is a good thing? ]]>
