Like many black women, I got fed up with my hair not growing very healthy and long. After researching about black hair composition, I started wearing my hair without any chemicals. At first it was challenging because I was still trying to style it straight and wear the very trendy hair styles. But it wasn’t until 2002 that I started to find new ways to style my natural hair without all the fuss of straightening it.

To have beautiful hair only requires a few easy steps that you may be surprised about. It is completely natural for you to have beautiful hair and you can have the information today on what it takes to get the hair you want. Girl, it’s time to get your hair back!

Chris Rock was on The Oprah Show to talk about his new film, Good Hair that hits movie theaters October 9^th.  In the film he documents a funny, but truthful topic about black women and their hair.  The black hair industry makes 9 billion dollars a year and this film is going to tell you why.  Black women watch out! Chris is telling all the secrets. Check out the trailer!

A cartoon? I know, your thinking why does this belong on a hair blog. Well when I first found out that Disney made a black princess, I went to look for it immediately. I was very curious on what the princess looked like and especially curious on how they were going to do her hair. I like straight hair, I wear straight hair. But I am much happier to know that they gave her a natural curl rather than straight hair.

 
The film will be about an American fairy tale, Broadway-style musical set in the French Quarter of New Orleans. A prince named Naveen from the land of Maldonia is transformed into a frog by the evil scheming voodoo magician Dr. Remy Voodoo. The frog prince asks a princess named Tiana to break the spell by kissing him. However, the kiss doesn’t break the spell, but instead turns Tiana into a frog as well. Together, the two of them must reach the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou, Mama Odie, while befriending a trumpet-playing alligator and a hopelessly romantic firefly along the way. The film is set to be released on December 11, 2009. Check out the trailer below.
