Tell us about your hair!

Matlhodi & I have been — collectively —  natural for over a period of 8 years 🙂 Even though I’m new to this and Matlhodi is a veteran, we also do face our joys and challenges with our natural hair.

Lately wherever you look, there seems to be this great support for natural hair. Sisters are abandoning their relaxers (or the “creamy crack”, as its affectionately known) for chemically-free hair. Its great to see more black women embracing their God-given natural hair. However, there  are still a few other ladies who would really love to rock their natural hair with pride — free from criticism and ridicule — but needless to say sometimes its not that easy for them.

So, we would like to ask those of you who are already natural (newbies & veterans), if you could share your hair experiences (good or bad) with us to give other naturals-to-be some inspiration and encouragement.

Please share your thoughts in the comment box below on:

*What inspired you to go natural (or stay) natural?

*What keeps you going on days when your natural hair seems to let you down/frustrates you?

*Share some of your favorite hairstyles that you love to rock (to give an alternative to those naturals who are bored with the same look & are looking for some hair inspiration)?
