Natural Life

    Classes started on 8-23 this semester, and when I walked on campus, I was blown away! It seems "Natural" is the new trend. Its a bitter-sweet feeling...

    Im in no way a natural Nazi, but since I cut my hair, I've become an advocate for HEALTHY hair. So many of these girls cut their hair and rock the fro, but they look so dry and thirsty. It makes me wanna run up and spray some fro-juice on them!! Being natural is HARD!!! If your going to go from the "laziness" of having a relaxer, to a full time fro, PLEASE TREAT YOUR HAIR LIKE ITS YOUR BABY!

LEARN YOU HAIR
     I have very tight coils, I think you would call it 4b or 4c hair. It shrinks, it fights, it tells ME what it wants to do, but at the end of the day, i love it! I learned what works for my hair, and what makes her angry. Alot of the girls i speak to try and use the same products they used on their relaxed hair, and look crazy and confused when it doesnt work! UH DUH! your hair IS NOT THE SAME anymore! Just put in the effort to learn it mama's!!

LOVE YOUR HAIR
Its easy to pay attention to what makes your hair happy, but its not so easy to put the effort in to KEEP it happy! It doesnt take much more money than keeping up your relaxed hair, but it may take more time and patience. Learn a quick process for YOU and go for it! Me personally, I adore curly q's products. They may be for kids but they work for me!!!




I know that was a rant sorta, but I love the natural life. I love the freedom of being able to walk when it rains (unless I have my ipod or Blackberry on me, then IM RUNNIN!) I love the feeling of my roots. I love being able to wash my hair and just....GO! If your gunna LIVE it ladies, REALLY leave it... Natural is beautiful, just like relaxed is, but you already know if you dont take care of relaxed hair, it can look SUPER CRAZY!
