by Shelli of Hairscapades Hey guys! Just popping on here really quickly to share a little length retention tip that may seem like “duhhhhh” to some. But, was something that really just hit me a couple of years ago. Okay, so … what had happened was … I had my hair secured with two Goody Ouchless ponytail elastics for, like,…
Q:How can I transition and keep my processed hair from breaking off? A: The act of slowly transitioning from relaxed to natural tresses, rather than Big Chopping (cutting off the relaxed ends in one fell swoop), can be frustrating at times, but highly rewarding, especially if maintaining length is a priority. Like any other challenge in life, you have to…
by Chai of Back to Curly Do you ever give yourself a pat on the back in light of how far you’ve come in your natural journey? Truthfully, some may sneer and balk at the idea of a natural femme spending several hours dotting on her tresses, taking the extra care to detangle, twist & style…but this simple act, over…
Lori P asks Jamila of For The Fabulous and Frugal: When I do my twist and curl, the end result is my hair sticking up like 3″ from my head instead of a downward motion like yours..what can I do to fix this? Straightened, my hair is about an inch past my shoulder! Any assistance you can provide will be…

How many of us are content in the day-to-day trials and tribulations that come with natural black hair? How many of us long for longer,…

There’s umpteen ways to flex one’s “naturalness” from how you wear your hair to what you eat to what kinds of products you use. While…
Anaise! DimpledCurlyGirl writes; Hey guys! What is a good way to do braid-outs to create big hair? When I was transitioning it was easy for me to achieve this but now when I do it it doesn’t come out nice. Any suggestions? CN Says; To make my fine, shrinky hair *appear* HUGE, I style on damp or dry hair to…
*Re-post* by EllePixie of Quest for the Perfect Curl Think your hair is too short to pineapple? You thought wrong! So yesterday, I was having hair talk with one of my girls on the hair board, and she was telling me how much she looooooves pineappling. Her hair is much longer than mine, and she’s my hair nemesis (jokingly, of…
Reposting for Leslie 😉 Chime in ladies! Tonya writes; My mom is my best friend, confidant, and number one supporter. Needless to say I was dismayed when she was totally against my decision to transition. I expected it from others, but not from her. I could tell, however, that her advice to opt for straight styles wasn’t coming from a…
Photo By Xelaphotography by Bonnie of The Culture Pine Pet peeve: (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to them, to a greater degree than others may find it.
