Gone Natural & Loving it :-)

Image
Hello Loviessss, Hope we all had a fab weekend? I was home better part of the weekend cos i sensed i was about to fall ill so i decided to take it easy. A few of my faithful readers(bless you all) have sent me emails and asked that i do a post on my own natural hair and i've finally gotten round to taking pictures (did i mention i am very lazy when it comes to taking pictures?)

Hair Crush

Hello Loviessss, Today's post is our first on the hair crush column.  I decided to go natural about 8 months ago and its been one of the most liberating experiences (that is gist/blog post for another day *wink*).  I do not miss relaxing my hair one bit. There are days when my natural hair has a mind of its own but i am inspired by naturals like the smart and stunning Adepero Oduye.  Gosh i love her hair so much.

Here are our top hair do's from her. xoxo.
