Natural Hair

What does "natural" mean to you?  Is it a phase or a fad?  Is it a connection with something deeper?  Is it about learning to embrace yourself?

You tell us what makes going natural, being natural special...if it is at all.

In this rush to work, do we truly have time to worry about our hair, let alone that of our children?  Find out how you can halt the rush to relax.

Ebony folks have a million and one reasons as to why natural hair isn't for them. Let's discuss the objections and figure out why natural hair truly is better, easier and the only way to go.

Natural hair is very professional; there are a number of styles such as two strand twists, twist outs, a chic twa, or an afro puff with a decorative scarf, that will give you great professional style and flair.

Hot-combs, Jheri Curls, Kiddie Relaxers, No-lye Relaxers, S-curls and Texturizers weren't invented to celebrate African hair.  Long before American manufacturers figured out how to make a buck off our self-loathing, slaves and freedmen alike were conking their hair.  Whether it was smoothing it with lard or applying lye directly to our hair, we have fought for ways to "fix" and "neaten" black hair.
