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??

Email us @ thegogirls@gmail.com with any questions, pictures or suggestions!

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!
