Thank you Nikki for taking the time to give us so much information on how to create beautiful hair styles for our little girls.

"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.


The only disadvantage to this application is that none of the styles feature natural hair textures!

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!!!

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!

I think it is absolutely amazing when we see young entrepreneur's who have already started businesses for themselves and doing something positive and productive with their time. Fatima Spencer, age 21, created Flowers From Fatima.  Her esty store has a colorful collection of handmade floral Accessories for all occasions. The are various designs for both woman and young girls.
