When You Cannot See the Hair Growth

  • I've been afraid of posting a pic of my progress because I don't feel like my hair is growing and that makes me anxious but a lot of people asked for my hair progress. Looking at the pic, I don't feel anxious anymore because I can see the growth. #happykid
  • The big chop does not always grow out as fast as we would like it to grow out, but it does grow.
  • Bantu knots win!!!
  • Braids are a great go-to for natural hair girls looking for a protective style with extra length.
  • It is good at times to take a look back to see how much you've grown.
  • Growth comes in phases. Your growth will not look like the growth of those around you. If you look closely, though, you will see that you too are growing.

Dear Curl Moms (Black, White, AND ALL Shades of Brown)

  • Black and white affects so many aspects of society. My Mother's Day wish is that we can learn to come together for curl girls like my daughter.
  • As moms, we do for our children what we, at times, would never do for ourselves. Yet, even with that, our greatest gift we can offer them is our truest self.
  • May we find the moms that have the courage to be their truest selves.  May we cherish the moms that have the courage to be their truest selves.  May we be the moms that have the courage to be our truest selves.

Unleashing the SUPER in Your NATURAL

  • I felt like weave made me prettier. Going natural was for other people - "those people." People embracing authenticity. People trying to send the world a message. I was not one of "those people." I just wanted to be pretty, and I did not associate natural hair as being pretty. I had no chance at finding the super in my natural.
  • "Going natural" was not an easy process for me. I lived and breathed by the motto, "long hair, don't care." I wore weave for years. I was not ready to be natural. I was not ready to transition. I was not ready for a natural hair journey.
  • The Love of People was developed for those individuals who wanted to learn to love their hair through more holistic and natural means. tlp is an environmentally conscious company that uses natural and organic butters, oils, and herbs that help strengthen the hair with nutrients and vitamins while aiding hair growth.
  • The love of people has an amazing natural hair care line for anyone embarking on a natural hair journey. Many beginning naturalista have no idea where to start managing their crazy curl hair. I provided my own natural hair care routine, but YouTube and Instagram are also full of advice on how to create the perfect patterns for curl novices.
  • Embracing my natural curl pattern for what it is. I fell in love with this picture the moment I saw it. I finally saw the super in my natural. I finally saw what others kept telling me was beautiful. The entire natural hair journey is a process that we will not always love. Yet, our curls make us beautiful. Our curls are a part of who we are. Our curls are a part of our magic.
  • "Going natural" was not an easy process for me. I lived and breathed by the motto, "long hair, don't care." I wore weave for years. I was not ready to be natural. I was not ready to transition. I was not ready for a natural hair journey.
  • I felt like weave made me prettier. Going natural was for other people - "those people." People embracing authenticity. People trying to send the world a message. I was not one of "those people." I just wanted to be pretty, and I did not associate natural hair as being pretty. I had no chance at finding the super in my natural...until one day everything changed.
