Hi Afrobella, I know this post is old, but for the past hour, I’ve been perusing your site. I have decided to go au naturale. I’ve been relaxing my hair since junior high and even then, I had a jheri curl. I haven’t worn my hair natural since grade school. I’m just sick of the relaxing and the styling and I want to do something different with my hair. I want to be more ‘real’ in my life and changing my hair back to what God intended I think will help me do that.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for your site. I have you bookmarked and will continue to visit and read. And thanks for all the links about natural afrobellas and hair tips and all the stuff you do here. Thanks so much! -Tamara

I believe it can be a liberating thing for many to go natural and yes of course the naive will tease others about getting thier hair done natural. Comments will hurt unless your somewhat untouched by words which most human beings are not so it’s not expected to be strong as a rock always, but just hang in there. I am multiracial and I still struggle with my hair and I just get my hair cut short almost marine like fashin but it feels like I just can’t live right at times. I look non black very fair but my hair is basically a black type without any mixed look. I am a male but I tried to live in a way it won’t let me which is a lie. So what I mean by this is going natural is great if it’s freedom but it can also be painful to take and still make you feel captive from doing so. If your going natural you should do it for finding peace with yourself not because your tired of doing your hair. It is a half life trying to live a lie but it is also a non life to call it quits. We can take our background into consideration but for me it has always been about wanting to try a new style not to remove the fact I have black in me. I have never had a problem with what I am but why live limited because everyone else wants to just say well thats that and thats it. I love art and I can express myself in that way but it’s hard to not have reasonable options but I have to accept it so I don’t ruin the other things in life I have over my head.

For the record, I love your hair, the colour’s really pretty. I’m not so sure about the anti-relaxer comments though. I’m 100% African, and have a proper AFRO, i.e. not pretty ringlets like yours. I can’t just leave my hair out, unless I want a solid mass of un-combable mess. So I texturise my hair and mostly wear it straight – because it’s easier.

AND I still only visit a salon three times a year max. Stereotypes come from both sides, you know…

Love the blog x

Happy New Year Bella! Your hair looks wonderful–I aspire to your fabulousness, woman! LOL Mr. Man was too wrong for his “chicken” comment, but he did a good job on your color!

[...] I have cropped out all but the husband’s hand so that you may fully behold my highlighted glory. Kidding! But chicken comment aside (which apparently he now denies. I heard what I heard, dude!), I must say the stylist did a damn good job. [...]
