Love Letter to my Hair

Dear Natural Hair: I am so madly in love with you! I am sitting here writing this love letter to you. I want to let you know that all I do is think of you. We met and as children, and rekindled our love just several years past. I am glad to say that I am more in love with you with you now, than I have ever been before. You make me complete . You make me whole. You were the missing key to my soul. Thank you for showing me how to love you and what true love REALLY is. Thank you for being so versatile and free. You helped to shape the "NATURAL" woman inside of me. Thank you for sticking with me through the good and the bad. People stop and stare and make sly remarks, but you allow me to walk free and walk upright with pride. I am so lucky to have you right by my Dear side. So,simply-thank you my love. thanks for the love. I love you back. I didn't know what I had til I gave up that crack. Love Always, Chas

Girl, I simply grew up And my hair did too!! I retired the old And I found my roots. Now my hair is kickin Like a fresh pair of boots See, my roots were buried, but Not quite dead They were relaxing next to some old “HOTHEAD” I picked my roots up, embraced them and said, “Hello Roots and how are you? I’ve neglected you far too long, How’s about a truce?” The Roots softly whispered, “Why thank you. You’re so kind, Will you promise to love all of me? I’m black, kinky, and fine. My roots and I obliged each other, and fell in love this day Our love affair is one of a kind and so DIVINE. They keep me grounded, and I keep them on track. We are so happy, we have not looked back! I told that “Hothead” get off that creamy crack. The crack is WHACK!!! Anyhow, GIRL: This is why I rock my new ‘do You wouldn’t understand my praise And I don’t expect you to! So do me a favor and continue to do what you ‘do!!! Original work by: Miss Chastity Williams 12/15/2011

Camera Fun

So, today I have been finding opportunities to snap shots of the fro I am Rocking with my phone. The first pic is of my box braids/plaits that resulted in the following Afro style. The app I used is called Camera Fun, and it's free in the Android Market. The prods used: Coconut oil, water/leave-in-conditioner spray mix, and an Afro pick. I finalized the style by pushing it back with a silk scarf. Enjoy!

Natural Hair Inspiration

Dear Natty Hair Reader: Every now and again, I run across a pic that I fall in love with and want to share with you. The other night was no exception.I was watching Real Housewives of Atlanta, or RHOA for short. Yeah, you know, Bravo TV's highly rated Reality show about 5 housewives from Atlanta, GA. It was great. Loved every minute. I especially loved when Ms. Cynthia Bailey's hubby, Peter unveiled a painting of her to his clientele. Boy, my first thoughts were: Is Cynthia natural? I know she models, but is it real or a wig? Hmm. Right now, I am thinking: Either way, she rocked that style, and that painting is absolutely FIERCE!!!! So, without further a due.....Ready or not......Here she comes!!!!

SORRY THIS PIC SUCKS!YOU CAN'T SEE THE GORGEOUS FRO:( It will have to do until I can find another. ------------------------------------------------------ As always, who is your fave housewife? What do you think of Cynthia's photo?
