Oh, My Nappy Hair

I was featured by Curly Nikki as a Natural Glam Hair Idol. Her blog is dedicated to natural hair. I have been natural for almost 12 years and it surprised me that I have never posted about my hair here.

Since she thought my hair was a good enough topic for one her posts, it must be good enough for one of my own ;)

I have a short bio on my transition and the products I use in the interview. There is also a short section on how I style my natural hair. I love that my hair can go from a big, curly, kinky, coily, afro to a straight sleek style and everything in between with just a wash and some styling.

I wear my hair proudly, it is part of my growing knowledge that what God gave is me is enough. I hope you wear yours (no matter the texture) just as well.

  1. YES! I have been wearing natural hair for 20 years. I recently cut my waist length dred-locs to rock a short nautral..I mean to the head short! And I love it!

    It is quite liberating.

  2. I was nautral for 2 years and it was such a liberating experience. I've thus gone back to the chemicals (8 months strong) but may go back to natural one of these days.

  3. Lovebabz,
    I remember the pictures of those lovely locks. I've been tempted to lock up myself, not sure I want the commitment.


    Monique,
    I think every natural is tempted to go back to chemicals every now and again. Then I think about the chemical burns I used to have and that keeps me away from them.

  5. I am actually transitioning as I type... Boy o' boy!
    But I like to see the rivets in my texture. I lay in bed at night and feel my kink. I love it.
    The article is great and I love the pics.

  7. Randy Bandit,
    Hey!!! Good hearing from you. Glad you liked the article.


    MsKnowitall,
    The transition phase took a little adjustment for me. I remember always wanting curly hair, I never knew I had it already.


    Lovebabz,
    Thank you so much, but you are one day early! I am still smiling, though and I really needed to smile today. I am meeting some friends, some fellow performers and sorors/frat tomorrow night for food, fun and spirits. I am not a club person, so I am avoiding those, but it should be fun. Wish you were here to be a part of my "eclectic" group.
