Alafia People,

This is my first blog… So bear with me. I don’t know what to say which is a surprise as I am probably the most opinionated person I know. Well, maybe with the exception of my father.

So why do I love natural hair?? I love natural hair because it is absolutely, purely me…  I love the way our hair coils on itself and when stretched it can sometimes be four times the coiled length. I love the way our hair feels when water hits it.  I love how we can grow and comb out a big, bushy afro and that thing just stays put all day. It is amazing! How does a thick afro defy gravity? That should be the age-old question!

I love that when you twist or braid our hair, the kink in it acts as its own natural rubber band.

Oh and let’s not forget locs… Magnificent and glorious locs!  Have you ever wondered why no two heads of locs look alike? I love that locs are our own spiritual antennae. I love that they go through the different stages: Baby locs, oh so cute. Teenage locs, oh so rebellious and misunderstood; but want to be loved. Mature locs, oh so fly and sexy and do what they are supposed to.

I love the versatility of locs. What scrunchy? I don’t need a scrunchy! I’ve got locs!

Love your hair

Touch your hair

Play with your hair

Don’t take it too seriously, it’s just hair; but do, by all means, take care of it.

Hydrate internally, and moisturize externally.

That’s my hairlosophy guys, till next time.

Remember: Be your natural self.
