Versatility

If there is one thing I love about natural hair, it would be it's versatility.  I don't remember being able to switch up my hairstyles like this when I had a relaxer.  And although I keep my hair in a protective style (usually twists) 80% of the time, it's so nice being able to rock a completely different look the other 20%.  I love the looks and encouraging comments I get from people when I wear my hair in a different and unexpected hairstyle.  I love letting my hair out after wearing it in twists for 2 weeks.  Or my new go-to topknot hairstyle that's a still demure but just a change.  Check out 3 of my different hairstyles over the past several weeks.

Natural Hair Inspiration

Hello Bellas!

I am excited to share some inspiration with you.  Actually I'm a little late in sharing this but better late than never right?  If you're into hair porn (read: inspirational photos of beautiful natural hair) as much as I am, you are going to love this tumblr page:  Natural Hair Rules

If you are a new or aspirational naturalista or even a veteran in need of some inspiration as we all are from time to gime, then BOOKMARK THIS PAGE!


I go on here everyday and I never get tired of looking at pictures of natural hair of all types.  The moments when I wonder why I ever decided to go natural in the first place or if I should go back to relaxing my hair, I draw inspiration from these photos.

Below are some examples of the wonderful ideas I get from this website.

I love the haircut!  Short in the back and longer in the front.  One day I hope to cut my hair in a style like this.

I love her hair but I LOVE her makeup... it's not over the top but oh so feminine and gorgeous. The entire look is to die for

I've never blown out my hair, I'm so afraid of heat damage (my hair is very fragile) but I love this blown-out look on her and everything else down to her t-shirt and her African print bangles and necklace

This is my favorite because her hair texture reminds me of my hair texture: thick and course but look how gorgeous!  I"m not sure how she got those beautiful waves in her hair but I will figure it out and rock this look someday

See what I mean?  This is only the tip of iceberg of inspiring things I see everyday on this website.  I hope you enjoy this website as much as I do!  And hopefully there will be many more like this one to show how beautiful natural can be.
