Traeh's Big Chop

"In [the video below], I will be showing you a portion of my journey from relaxed hair to natural hair. I did my big chop January 28th, 2014. I've been transitioning since Summer 13' (not sure of the exact date). Initially I was going to transition but I got tired of having thin relaxed hair and trying to deal with two textures so I just decided to do my big chop. I am also on a no heat journey so that I can improve the overall health of my hair. I hope my journey inspires you to go natural whether you decide to transition or do the big chop. In my experience, I believe the big chop was the best thing for me to do. The only regret I have is that I wish I did my big chop sooner :)"  ~ Traeh

It's not a fad... My hair is beautiful!

As the hair care and beauty industry grows, so does the controversy surrounding black/ethnic and non-white hair. It has always been a global topic of discussion and subject of curiosity. However, at the start of this school year, it made headlining news and affected one of the world's most precious beings - children. In several states, and on one too many occasions, little girls have been either verbally reprimanded or told to leave school because of their "unacceptable" and "inappropriate" natural hair styles. In response to this controversy, TWELVE18 Media releases a very empowering Public Service Announcement sponsored by Aunt Jackie's Curls and Coils, encouraging young girls to love who they are AND the hair they are naturally born with. The PSA entitled "My Natural Hair Is Beautiful" addresses the messages that society and the media send to little girls about natural hair, presents the questions and insecurities they will inevitably be faced with, and offers a simple yet powerful and universal solution of non-judgmental acceptance.

 

My Hair Doesn�t Look Right... by Zaneta

Confessions of a Naturalista: My Hair Doesn�t Look Right
By Zaneta Mungai

It�s no secret that I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. Sometimes I think I have the perfect hairstyle and then there are other times when I just don�t like the way that my hair looks. I�m pretty sure that this happens to everyone, but for some reason I think naturals tend to take it to heart more when they don�t achieve a certain look that they are going for. Out of this frustration some people even want to go back to relaxing their hair. But we have to remember that everyone has bad hair days. And if you seem to be having more than usual, perhaps something in your hair care routine needs to be adjusted. Sometimes deep conditioning and trimming your hair can make a world of difference in how your hair looks. Another important thing to remember is that the beauty of our hair is intertwined with its ability to look unique and �wild.� Big messy hair can be your greatest asset. It sets you apart from the crowd and puts your natural beauty on display. So, don�t get too caught up in achieving the perfect look. Perfection is found in loving your hair and giving it the best possible care. Remember to treat your hair well and good hair days will follow.
