A letter from Juanita...I absolutely love your site. You have inspired me to go au natural....LOL!! I literally cried looking at some of the stories on your site. I have seen how many women embraced being natural and I was always ashamed. Years after having completely damaged hair I am almost bald and have finallydecided to embrace my natural hair. My family does not agree...
Not much has changed since last week except.... I realized that Shea Butter was making my hair a little too greasy and I'm pretty much out of Bee Mine Curly Butter, so I used BB (Bronner Bros.) Oil Moisturizer with Castor Oil on my ends and it worked out great. It was very hot and humid this week and that combination made my twists swell. You really...

Taking a break from hiting the stage over in Dublin, Rihanna step out on the street in this simple outfit as she greeted fans and snacked on M&M's. Not to look too basic, RiRi adds a fabulous animal printed fanny pack (fashionista's call it a "belt bag") to the mix. I tried to find a cheap replica, but I failed miserably :-( However...

When and why did you decide to go natural?I did my BC on October 10th 2009 and I transition for around 5 months. In high school I was always in my stylist's chair faithfully every 2 weeks! I never missed a perm date and was basically planning things based on my hair appointments! Horrible right?? But I always wanted curly big poofy hair, so after going on youtube...
It's been a full week since I finished my twists and they're still looking good. Every few days I apply Wild Growth Hair Oil to my scalp, not a lot just a little bit. This oil does not make my hair grow, but it makes my roots really soft and keeps the frizzes from forming at the crown. I like to smooth Safi...

Q: Hey, love what your doing with your hair, its so beautiful. The reason why I'm writing is because I need your help to get my hair back healthy again. I have rather long African American hair that goes a little past my shoulders. I perm it every three months, but I want to stop doing that and go natural. I recently dyed my hair black...

I completely forgot to show you guys the final result of my current set of twists. Everyone keeps how long does it take and the answer is that it's different for everybody. For some people it takes 8-10 hours, for me it usually takes 2-3 days to complete. One thing you must know about me is that I can't not sit still for...

When and why did you decide to go natural? I went natural for the second time in May of 2009. There wasn't any real reasoning behind the decision, I just couldn't keep any hairstyle for longer than a month and I wanted to try it again. The first time was back in 2004 and I really didn't know how to take care of my...

When and why did you decide to go natural?I went natural my senior year in high school. I had an up and down relationship with my relaxed hair. When I was 13 all of my hair broke off from a relaxer and my mom had to cut it all off. I got box braids for about 2 years and my hair grew out...

I started this set of Tiny Twists on Friday evening on a brushed out braid and curl using only Unrefined Shea Butter to twist. I barely touched my head on Saturday due to some mind blowing cramps...gosh I hate being a girl...just kidding lol!
