ESSENCE HOT HAIR SPECIAL ISSUE!!!

So, Essence just released their Hot Hair Special Issue magazine and I think it is great.  Not only do they profile sistahs rocking their styles straight, natural and/or in a cute a-symmetrical buzzed cut, but they also give great advice on how to care for your hair.  


Essence.com says, "In its first issue dedicated to hair, ESSENCE highlights the unique relationship between African-American women and their hair with the launch of HOT HAIR, an interactive experience covering all things hair -- from root to tip. This special issue covers all of the beauty needs, questions, concerns and triumphs of African-American hair care and style..."


WOW! I definitely encourage all of my sistah's to check out this special issue! There's no doubt that our hair is a focal point and it's up to us to keep it happy and healthy.  Hopefully, from here, good, high quality magazines with hair care information will continue to be produced.  Although it is really great to see magazines celebrate the versitility of our hair... it would be great to have a natural hair magazine that is completely filled with natural styles and natural hair care advice... but that's just me.  :-) 


Nevertheless, the hairstyles are beautiful and inspirational and I hope you all go and check out this truly special issue.

Are we (women) really rewriting the rules on hair?

Good day! 


NY Times Article:
Black women rewriting the rules on hairstyles - NY TIMES


A friend of mine shared this NY Times article with me last week.  However, with my busy schedule, I'm just finding time to read it and I can say I appreciate the article.  I want to hear what you think? 


Some great quotes that I picked up from the article include:


"You can look great without having hair down to your [rear end], and you really get to see another side of beauty."


"Stephen says that it's ultimately about wearing any style that makes you happy. 'People used to wear their hair a certain way because they had to. Now they wear their hair a certain way because they want to. I'm really all about what's fun…. My hair could be short this week and long the next.'"

"Once you're happy on the inside, it shows on the outside as well." 


I would LOVE to hear your comments.

Sesame Street: I Love My Hair

Hey everyone,

I'm sure you all are completely enthralled by the Sesame Street "I love my hair" song and video.  I know, I can't say it enough, but I LOVE it too.  What if this was around for us when we were much younger?  Nevertheless, it's a very important message to our daughters (young and grown).   Check it out, if you have not seen the clip.  Leave a comment and let's start a positive discussion about our HAIR!

Also, I researched the man who wrote the song! Check out his reason for writing the song. It's inspiring.
