Anonymous asked: Hi, I love this blog and find it really really inspiring since I plan on going natural once I get to college.
I was just wondering, do you have any tips on going natural? How to do it slowly and surely so I don't "shock" my hair (which would lead to all of it falling out, I hear.) Will I have to cut my hair once I start going natural?
Thanks for all of...

How long have you been natural? I Big Chopped in December of 2009 after transitioning for 7 months. Why do you love being natural? I love it because it sets me apart. I’ve always valued uniqueness and my hair is unique only to me. Even though I’m not the only person with natural hair, every head of natural hair looks different. With a relaxer, there are limited looks you can achieve. When I had...

This month (July), I’ve been completely natural for 9 months and transitioned for 6 months before that. The reason I love being natural is b/c it’s allowed me to embrace and care for GOD’s temple as a whole. I realized I was taking such good care of my body by working out and eating right that I wanted the top of my head to match with everything else. I was also tired of my hair breaking all...

Below is a link to the video I made in 2008 when I first went natural. Now I’m back to square one, ready to start anew and never turn back. No more inhibitions and doubt… Just doing me, being all God meant for me to...

Being natural doesn’t mean you ALWAYS have to wear an Afro. This is actually just one of many styles that are available. Though it may have worked for Luda (you do notice that his long hair is gone now), the Afro may not work for you.
Your natural hair can be blown out, straightened, braided, twisted, worn with extensions, coiled, loc’d and managed many other ways. Over the next...
