Natural Hair Is On The Rise!!

More and more people are deciding to go natural these days. I wrestled with going going natural for a while. When I first tried to go natural, I just did not know what to do with my hair. I went to a hair stylist and she convinced me to get a perm!!! She stated that there was nothing she could do with it in its natural state. It is distressing to know that so many "professional" hair stylist do not know what to do with African American hair in its natural state. Many years later, I decided to do it again this time with the help of online resources such as Motown Girl & Nappturality.


Now, there are so many more resources out there than before to help people with their natural journey. It is refreshing to see so many people embracing their own natural beauty. I wonder sometimes where did we go wrong with what we considered as "beautiful" for African American women and their hair. I can speculate that our history may have had something to do with it.
