It’s been two months since I posted anything here about my hair. Admittedly I don’t always feel that my natural hair journey is very important, particularly as it relates to my ministry. However I have come to learn that my hair in whatever state has become as much a signature aspect of my style (yes, [...]

Growing
Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my hair is in fact growing. Just last week I sat on Domestic Chic’s couch complaining that I though my hair had plateaued. Turns out, it hadn’t. On a whim birthed out of sheer frustration, I flat ironed my hair and saw for myself that in one [...]
Bantu Knots, My New BFF
A couple of weeks ago in what seemed to be a moment of serendipity, I stumbled upon Kimmaytube’s tumblr site where she discussed how she styled her hair for her photo shoot. I only watched out of curiosity, figuring that her hair was way too long to realistically offer me any new styling options. I couldn’t [...]
Curly Girl Update
Happy New Year Curly Peeps! It’s hard to believe that with the conclusion of 2011, I’ve completed my first full calendar year (January to December) as a natural. I had such high hopes (for my hair and my social life) concerning how I was going to bring in the New Year. In the end after an early dinner [...]
Back to My Old Self
What’s up Curly Peeps! I know it’s been more than a miute since I posted about my hair (or really anything). Truthfully I had gotten to the point that I was getting tired and frustrated with my hair. It has been growing, which is good, but I haven’t quite known what to do with it. [...]

In that short amount of time I have fallen in love with my blow-outs (and the blow dryer), reconsidered the damage, broken up with my blow dryer (with a tearful goodbye to my blow-outs), and discovered the upside [...]
Unkind Treatment
Since my mini celebration last weekend of being chemical-free for one whole year, I must admit that I’ve been treating my hair rather unkind. I’ve been so busy this week that I haven’t taken the time to do anything more with my hair that what I needed to do in order to look good leaving [...]
One Whole Year!
It’s been a whole year since I ditched the last few strands of my hair altered by the creamy crack and embraced my natural texture for the first time in over 20 years. In this video I share a few pics taken along the journey and reflect on my experience.
Shrinkage is a Beast!
For the last twelve days since my lovely head shot in the last hair post, I have been feeling my blown out twist-out (and getting lots of compliments too!). Unfortunately I have discovered that this look is not as easy to maintain as I would have liked. I expected that with the humidity, my hair [...]

Day 3 of My Expanding Hair
Me today taking a breather after baby-sitting for Domestic Chic This is the third day of my new afro and I am still loving it! If I thought going from relaxed to natural was a big change, then I could never have imagined I’d ever decide to wear my hair really big. It’s so big that [...]
