My Nappy Reversion: From Straight to Kinky

Donna Summer Dead at 63.

70′s Disco Queen Donna Summer died yesterday from complications of cancer. It did come as a surprise to the public but apparently the songstress had been dealing with her disease privately.

NJ to Honor Whitney Houston with lowered flags

Whitney Houston Dead at 48…..Black History Month Sucks

I’m not sure because this may be one my first times tracking Black History Month but this is one of the worst ones ever.

I’m infertile while everybody else is pregnant.

It seems a LOT of youtube hair gurus are pregnant right now. Black Onyx, Glamazini, Kimmaytube, Sherita, TheTruthisHair and anyone else I may have missed. Great! For them anyway.

Racist Job Policy! My job says: “Braids are Unprofessional”

When I got to work last week with a bunch of (about 10) fat braids/plaits all over I was searching for a ponytail holder to pull them back and out of the way. My co-worker asked me if I had been told that I couldn’t wear braids because they are too unprofessional. I hadn’t ever [Continue]

A Natural Hair story on MTV! Are you gonna audition?

Got scammed on my new wig! What should I do now?

This is the second wig I bought in a short period of time. Much like the first I bought this for my headshots. I figure it will be a good idea to have as many looks as possible. I also want the most pictures for my money. My natural hair is awesome but it is [Continue]

Check out my Straight Lacefront Wig for my Headshots!

Stylists mixing relaxer with Conditoner for Natural Hair?

Frats & Sororities NOT Satanic- DST Viewpoint
