I bought the latest issue of Heart and Soul today and I’m glad that your magazine wrote an article on the natural hair revolution because that’s what it certainly is, a revolution! More and more black women are redefining their own beauty and what it means to them. I’m also a natural hair blogger, but my blog is mostly geared toward fashion and natural hair in the African Diaspora and not about maintenance of our hair.
I’m no product junkie when it comes to maintaining my hair because I find so many hair products to be both a waste of money and time, when a woman just has to find a shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, molding mousse or gel and oil that works for her. All that other stuff is a waste of our hard earned dollars. My motto is, “if you can eat it, then you should use it.”
Natural hair means that, freedom…the freedom to expose our roots and our true selves and accept what we were born with without trying to change it to fit into an idea of beauty that we’ll never achieve, except for our own standard which we set at the beginning of time, but somehow lost.
It’s funny I just read the previous comment…My motto is, “if you can eat it, then you should use it.” I just deep conditioned my hair with avocado and olive oil!
I think it’s wonderful that women are embracing their natural textures more! I look forward to reading getting the latest mag. ad reading the article!
