Congrats Nikki! Thanks to you for all your hard work. I know without this site I never would've been able to go natural. You and everyone I've met on CN helped so much and made things much easier for me.
It makes me proud to see the recognition of such a wonderful community. CN's going big time! I'm so happy to be part of the growing group of people who are putting away the chemicals and letting our natural hair shine.
I'm excited to see you've got a book coming. I'll definitely be buying it.

I am a current transitioner and I have gone 4 months without a relaxer and I will continue to grow out my natural hair, until I reached my length goal to big chop. I love your site!!! Thanks for all the inspirational photos of natural hair women as well as your own photos/videos and all the information that you provide to help me stay up to date on the best products to use and daily up keep for my hair.
So proud. I went natural in 2004 and haven't looked back. The only problem I have run into is, being a military spouse and moving often, if finding hair care professionals in the small, backwards places we end up, lol.
I always share this site with friends and family and even strangers.
I noticed several people saying that natural hair is great because you can wear it curly or straight, sometimes in the same day. I will probably never straighten my hair again. I got is flat ironed to get a trim and there is a big section that won't curl back up anymore.
Congrats Nikki! There are really some great leaders in the natural hair community and you are certainly one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful. I've read your blog for years and I've learned a lot from you and your contributors. The recognition is richly deserved!!
That's fantastic!!!!
Go 'head on girl!
Go head Nikki girl….this site is so inspiring keep up the fantastic work!!
JUMPING on the page all proud!!! Woot Woot! Go Nikki go! Can I have your autograph Ma'am?
Oh my damn! You betta werk Nik! So proud of you and I want an autographed copy!
I'm so happy I found you and your website Nikki. I'm not sure what my hair would look like if I hadn't stumbled upon this website. I probably would have just given up and gone back to relaxers because I thought it was easier.
Thank you and congratulations!
OMG….As soon as I saw this post I was like "What??? I gotta see this myself" So on to the community office newspaper pile and I was beyond excited to see your piece in the paper. Congratulations and many blessings to you on future endeavors!!!
Unfortunately there are some ignorant people making bad comments on the website. Thank God I'm secure!!!
WOW! congrats! This is so wonderful!
You're everywhere lady! Thanks for continuing to highlight and lift up us natural ladies! Stay blessed!
Congratulations Nikki! You deserve it
Go head, Forehead!!!! That is awesome!
Congratulations Nikki!!!
Go on girl! I see you!
Congratulations on your recognition! I am so glad that natural hair is being embraced more and more each day! When I first started on this journey there were so few naturals, but now we are growing in numbers and I feel this is how it should be! Thanks to pioneers like you, more naturals are better informed and reaping the benefits of growing acceptance of their natural locks! I am thrilled beyond words!
Congratulations Nikki! You are awesome.
This has nothing to do with the awesomeness of Nikki but…to be kind of negative… "More black women "comb out" chemicals" –wtf? A little more research please.
Of all the verbiage in the article, this statement is the one that put me on my feet…….." co-authoring a natural hair care guide for Harper Collins to be published next spring". Nik, you have been very, very busy! I can hardly wait to get my hands on the guide (autographed copy, please).
Congrats again – 2012 will be a great year and I am proud to be a part of the journey!
Congratulations!
big time!
Congratulations!
That is really great! I'm so happy for you!
Nik you're highly favored! You deserve this!
That's awesome Nikki!
Congrats Nikki!!!!
yay!!! Congrats everyone on embracing the natural you!! Thanks Nikki for helping us along the way 🙂

Cheers to you Nikki! Much deserved … You truly serve as the standard when it comes to fostering a natural hair community. I appreciate being a part of this community … Let's keep it going!
