CL BEAUTY: GOING NATURAL
Friday, May 1, 2009
These days, more sisters are embracing their natural hair - straying away from harsh relaxers and drying chemicals for a more free feel to their hair. The transition to going natural can be a tough and lengthy decision for some (chopping off your hair/growing out a relaxer) - but, the end result can be well worth it.
In entertainment, where glam and long lengths are to the full front - it’s always great to see others like India Arie, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu hit the stage with natural dope hairstyles. Its also great to see the growing movement of locking, that’s has even been considered trendy these days despite its roots and historic value.
So with natural and non-relaxed hair becoming more emphasized and popularized - its important to learn where to start and how to transition if you are thinking about taking this step. Here is a list of site where you can do your research and get help on beginning this journey - whether it be for natural curls, a super fro, or long dreads:
It’s also important to know that straight hair isn’t the only type of hair with alot of styling options - that are many fly natural styles to choose from as well! Check these blogs on ideas for styling:
These fierce ladies show that you can be just as fab in Hollywood with natural locs! Who is your favorite natural hair’d celebrity? These aren’t the only ones of course, so feel free to shout out the ladies I forgot to feature!

Just because a black woman’s hair is curly does not mean she has a texturizer, or is mixed ,in some cases this is true for either but not all. Our hair comes in so many varieties and most of us have more than one texture on our heads anyway. So let’s not go talking about things we are unsure of.
And for those of you who are new or thinking about going natural, don’t free your self from the relaxers and get bound into natural hair typing. No one’s texture whether straight, curly, or kinky is better than the other, it’s just different.

I ‘ve been “semi-nautral” as I like to call it for 2 years now. What I mean by semi-natural is I only relax my hair 2-3 times a year, which means I stretch my relaxers. I love doing this b/c I still have the option to wear my hair curly, too. My hair is much more THICK, and overall healthy. And anytime I need my hair bone straight, I just break out the CHI iron. It straightens your hair like you’ve just had a fresh perm. Don’t believe me? You guys can check out my pics at

I love being natural. Its the best decision I’ve ever made and honestly, I feel prettier now than ever. Sometimes I have my regrets about not having cute springy curls, but I would rather have my nappilcious hair than anything else.

Ladies, save your edges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A pretty face and straight hair doesn’t look cute with bald spots and a hair line that starts behind your ears. Go natural at the first sign of thinning…. Nice post and I’ve been “kinky” for more than 5 years.
