Clutch magazine asked the question so many of us have asked.
What's so bad about going natural?

-Love your hair...

Where is the Love and Respect?

What is true Beauty?

"Beauty - in projection and perceiving- is 99% attitude- Grey Livingston

"Beauty... when you look into a women's eyes and see what is in her heart" - Nate Dircks

"Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic" -Sophia

"Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical"- Sophia Loren

Do you ROCK your natural beauty?

Meaningful Mondays

Weekend Wave

This is for my Transitioners!

I know it can be a struggle in that in-between-I-don't-know-what-in-the-world-to-do-with-my-hair phase.

As I said in our Meaningful Monday post... it's important to have a role model that you can look to and say "hey I can do that!" It may be the many colors of Erykah Badu

or Sophie Okonedo who's rarely seen in public.

It's up to you to stay motivated! We'll even help! Why not send us your picture and we'll try to find some inspiration just for you!?!

We may even feature you in a Weekend Wave!

In the mean time...

See any one here that you can google for inspiration??

Your Immune System? Part 2

Your immune systems consists of cells, tissues and organs. All of these collectively protect and govern the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal, viral infections and the growth of tumor cells. It's your body's process of checks and balances.

What is your immune system battling?

Be careful, what you put on your hair

can weaken this amazing system.

Meaningful Monday

CALLING ALL TRANSITIONERS!!I know you're in that funky in between stage where you want to ruuuunnn to the salon to slap some chemicals on your head and get it straight!

While speaking to a good friend of mine, who was struggling with her transition, I suggested she get a role model. Someone with her hair cut and face shape... which for her is Corinne Bailey Rae (pictured at the right). After using images.google.com she was able to see several different styles that were doable for her.

My suggestion, find someone with your hair length & texture that share the same features you do to inspire you to

KEEP GROWING ORGANIC HAIR!

Don't give up and don't give in to the lye!

Here is a short list to get you started in your search for a natural role model:

Lauryn Hill (early days)

Erykah Badu

Jill Scott

India.Irie

Bre Scullark

Jasika Nicole

Tracee Ellis Ross

Janelle Monet

Tyana Taylor

Wakeema Hollis

YaYa Dacosta...

Just to name a few!

This Weekend Wave will be dedicated to my transitioners, so stay tuned!

Your Immune System? Part 1

How does chemicals on your hair effect your immune system?
"Any chemicals on your hair are toxic to your system and will weaken your immune system." says Dr. Mark Armstrong N.D. of Ahimki Center for Wholeness. The price we pay for Beauty...
What is a girl to do? "If you choose to add color, boost your immune system" How? Nutrition, exercise and a positive outlook on life goes a long way.

What exactly is your immune system? Stay tuned for Part 2...
