It seems as though “going natural” is the latest trend with the emergence of blogs, YouTube channels and many more media outlets focused specifically on maintaining natural hair. For those who have chemically altered the texture of their hair and are unsure about whether or not to wear their hair in its natural state, let’s consider the benefits of the transition.
Not only is natural hair undoubtedly stronger than chemically processed hair, but style options are endless. The financial aspect should also be considered. One can save hundreds of dollars per year by styling their own hair and not having to pay expensive beautician costs. Natural hair has health advantages as well. For example, working out will no longer require the fear of “sweating out” a press and if it begins to rain, you will not be forced to run and hide.
Have I convinced you enough? If so, let’s discuss how you’re going to maintain this new hair of yours. You can decide to do a big chop (commonly referred to as BC) and have a teeny weeny afro (TWA) or you can transition so that you can keep your hair’s length. Choosing the second option will require you to manage two totally different hair textures and it will require extra care to prevent breakage. Listed below are five tips on how you can grow and maintain natural hair:

Hey Empress'! Here's another celebrity look for less, this time I've created an alternative to Ciara's easy boyfriend jean look. She was spotted in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago rocking this look with a pair of Christian Louboutin Caged Booties, an olive green shirt over a white Tee and gold Atlanta "A" pendant.
Love this look on Cici, it reminds me more of the girl we came to know and love when she dropped her first album. The look is street, but the heels make it chic!
