I am so angry at this tragedy, ESPECIALLY since reports say the crazed killer could be J. Hud's sister's ex.Black women! Let this be a wake up call!We have GOT to be careful who we allow into our lives! We have GOT to demand more of our men before we allow them into our homes and our bedrooms!It is horrific that this man could have exacted such a tragedy on such a tight-knit family, killing J.

When I was natural, I only combed my hair after washing and conditioning it and this ranged from 3 times to once weekly. I would deep cleanse with Apple Cider Vinegar and sometimes with bentonite clay. I really didn't have a time table when I was natural. I like bentonite because it makes me feel like a kitchentician!Frizz on natural hair adds character and for some of us, frizz is

You are one of the most creative naturals I've come across; in both how you style and color your hair. Where do you get all this inspiration?!Aww thanks! As far as the color, I infuse color into every aspect of my life. A lot of naturals are afraid of color, but I’ve been coloring my hair since high school, when my hair was relaxed. I’ve gone through most brands and have learned which ones not

The Wedding Fro-Hawk

I rocked a fro-hawk at two weddings this summer (both old college friends). I think it went really well. The style actually looked kind of elegant... but spunky at the same time.

i love big hair and i cannot lie

one of the most beautiful sights in the world, is a long, beautifully textured, obnoxiously voluminous head of natural hair. yep, that is one of the most beautiful sights. wonder why we don't see it more often...

Jenteel part deux: "The Roll Up"

This style was done by hair artist Keva Hall for her show entitled "My Good Hair" @ Rush Arts Gallery in New York. It is part of "Garveyism" -- styles based on Marcus Garvey's beauty pageants promoting natural beauty. This style was inspired by powdered wigs of the 18th century.

this is natural hair

like any red-blooded nappy girl, i tend to dismiss wavy/spirally/curly hair as not "really" natural.i figure women with hair like this are in that third dimension between nappy and straight — where hair is textured, but grows fast and is easy to manage.

She's a North Carolina based artist whose work is really powerful.She's worn her hair in a TON of different ways over the past 17 years — from backlength locs to a bald head. I asked her to share her photos and her philosophy.

twists on curly texture

i also saw that twists don't really work for you as a protective style. that's interesting because they are a go-to style for so many naturals. why don't they work? and what do you do instead?Twists don't work for me because of the texture and thickness of my hair. My hair is thin (compared to most naturals) in my opinion. Also, the texture causes the twists to unravel too quickly. I like twists
