Natural Hair Doesn't Look Good on Everybody

BEGIN RANT...

Huh? Really? If you are confused by the title, please join the club! How on earth can the hair God gave you, "not look good"? After hearing countless people tell me "You look nice with natural hair, but not me." or "Natural hair only looks right on certain people." or "You have a better grade of hair and that's why you can wear your hair in natural styles.", I just want to SCREAM!!! Come on people! The hair God blessed you with is GOOD ENOUGH! "Good hair" is healthy hair and has NOTHING to do with the texture or size of your curls. Whether you are a 2a or a 6Z, you hair can thrive with the right style and proper care. We really need to learn self-acceptance and realize that beauty comes in a variety and is not represented by one look or appeal.

More importantly, we need to learn how to do our own hair! If naturals knew how to take care of their hair and how to achieve a nice style, many of those comments would cease! I am motivated to teach women how to do it themselves. This is my project for the summer especially now that I have a new, Youtube compatible video cam, so look out!

In the meantime, if you are having trouble styling your hair? Check out the GAZILLION other Youtube videos and blogs that show actual tutorials on countless natural hair styles and product usage for natural hair.

Okay, rant over!

I'm back! Stay tuned!

I'm back and with my second Big CHOP!

I know I have been MIA for a minute...But I'm back and with a new cut. I got bored with my hair over the past few months and plus I still had some color in my hair that I NEEDED to get rid of DESPERATELY. I still have some color left, but most of it has been CHOPPED OFF!!!

The verdict: Well, at first, I wanted to cry! My hair was literally to the middle of my back (well, when you stretch it out) and now I can barely put it in a ponytail. Considering that it took almost four years to get to this length, it was pretty devastating to see all that hard work laid out on my bathroom floor. But now...I love it! Its too cute. At the end of the day, I realize that its just hair and because its even healthier, it will certainly grow back! (Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do for my Jamaica Wedding...that heat and humidity will instantly turn my hair into a helmet and a I barely have enough hair for a braided updo). Anywho, pictures will soon come so stay tuned. I also plan to work on all my various Youtube "How to videos" over the holidays for all you hair junkies out there who just can't get enough of these hair tutorials.

I've also been working on some new products (some old ones have been reformulated or enhanced) so please check them out at www.beautybydonnamarie.com. The sampler pack is in stock now so you can try it before you buy it!

Look out for more posts as I am now back to my regularly scheduled program! Thanks for following and if you are a newbie...welcome!

Oh and YEEEEEEEEEEEY for OBAMA!
