I love God & my family. Some of my hobbies include; natural hair, music, fashion, and did I mention natural hair. I am the ultimate girlie girl; I love dressing up, doing hair, makeup, fashion and SHOES. I value family, life, embrace self acceptance and cherish the things God give me to steward. I am optimistic and also a skeptic. It cost absolutely nothing to be positive or negative, I choose to be positive. This blog will incorporate a mixture of things that I am most passionate about. The main focus is hair but I will throw other things in there every once in a while. Please feel free to comment and ask questions, I LOVE QUESTIONS! Since going natural I have been glued to my laptop, I enjoy networking with other naturals who share the same love and respect for natural hair. My goal is to reach waist length hair by Aug 23, 2013. Thank you for stopping by Peace & blessings. Happy growing!!!!

Myths and misconceptions about Black hair















Ladies, at some point in your life have you ever heard of the following myths about our hair? I know I have and I believed them too, SHAME ON ME!!   It is no surprise that so many of us brought these lies, growing up I recall seeing only a few black women with naturally, healthy long hair and when asked they never spoke about their "secret" on how they grew their hair (I never understood why) so i thought they were just the few lucky ones.The only truth to this list is that they are all false, lies someone told someone else and passed on from generation to generation.

1. Water is the enemy

2. If you wash your hair often it will fall out

3. Dirt helps hair grows

4. Black hair don't grow

5. Dandruff promotes growth

6. leaving grease in the scalp  promotes growth










*I know the list is longer as more come to me I post them, if you have some in mind you would like to see on this list please put it on the comments and I will be sure to add them.
