"Hairings" from Sheebaz!!! Very cool....
Sheebz Belgrave created an interesting pair of earrings made from two loc's! What a cool and unique idea... This is the comment I left for Sheebz on her facebook page regarding these earrings:
" Even when broken loc's fall, I can not let them go. What a great way to preserve the beauty that grows from our crowns." ~ Karen

Just for Fun!! And out of pure Curiosity....
Ok... so every now and then, I will see someone with an interesting hairstyle, and wonder what I would look like with that look. I would never ever want to cut my loc's, so my curiosity goes unanswered. Essence Magazine has a cool online tool that you can use to try out new hair styles.
So no luck with my trying on a beautiful afro, shorter loc's, TWA or even a clean shaven beautiful bald head. O well... Maybe I will write to Essence and ask then to broaden their selection. Any how for now, I took a few minutes to goof off, and this is what I came up with:
Shockenly enough, I actually love the short Halle Berry type hair cuts more than any of the others!! I could never picture myself with short hair... because I have such a big head! But I am kinda liking it. LOL... but who am I kidding! Nothing beats my Naturally Beautiful Hair! I will be Loc'd for LIfe!!!
The only disadvantage to this application is that none of the styles feature natural hair textures!!

Readers Question - Natural Hair Inspriration for Young Men
I received a question from Naturally Beautiful Hair Blog reader - Romy. I did know the answer to her question or what direction to point her in, so I asked if I could share her question with you all. Maybe someone can offer her some helpful advice. Here is her question:
"I am wondering if there is any website out there for men/boys with natural hair. I am asking because I have a 9 year old son who is rocking his fro and I want to give him male inspiration. Do you or your readers can recommend any website?" Also, "I have started my own blog about natural hair care for black/afro-german hair in German language because there is not much information available in German. You can find it here http://afrodeutschehaare.blogspot.com."
~ Best wishes, Romy

O My God! ...LOL
Ok, I saw this image on Mane and Chic, of model Kaila Wilson. Is it just me or does this picture have a striking resemblance to my Naturally Beautiful Hair blog Header Image?!? What do you think?
Look at the hair, shoes and attitude (aka - confidence!). I just love it!
