The Natural Hair Journey

What is Wrap-A-Loc?

Process where you wrap hair, especially long locks, around the wrap-a-loc tool. This tool used to "create long lasting curls, spirals and waves, on locs."

The tool can be left in for at least a week. No more long hours under the dryer. When removed from the hair the curls are tighter than ever before.

This style can last at least 3 to 4 weeks with good care and dry cleaning. It sure is a show stopper and makes long locks look short again without the hair cut. I find it's a great option for individuals that  have very long locks.

Have you seen this style before? If so please let me know what you think.

Sister Nandi introduced this idea to the natural hair world.

I wish you much success.

From Locks to Sis Twists!

I have been wearing Sis Twists for the last month or so, and I must to admitted I love the natural look it gives. I have enjoyed swimming with the kids often without worrying about my hair.

One thing for sure, my hair has grown significantly. I have received loads of compliments from my clients as well as the strangers I come across when I'm out and about.

The demand for this style is on the rise:

• It wears well (one can get up and go)

• It lasts for about 2 months (while washing and wearing)

• Sisters look fierce, while the confidence increases.

I believe it is a better option from the traditional braids, because the twists are not small, therefore they won't cause hair breakage or damage. The hair is very light, although it appears big and full.

I have enjoyed my hair this summer and look forward to the next season as well as the next Natural Hair Journey.

Stay tuned.

My Little Girl's Hair: What A Difference A Year Makes

by Sydnye White-Oyugi

Toddlers don't care much about hair. Little girls do!

When my daughter turned three last year, Kirigo (Tata Kirigo as she is known in my house) trimmed about 3-inches of her hair. It had never been cut and therefore was multiple lengths. Plus she had some breakage in the back. My daughter didn't mind the cut and quite frankly, didn't notice a difference.

Now that she is turning 4, I told her that it is time for Tata Kirigo to cut her hair. "Nooooooooo!" she cried out holding her head. "Sorry, sweety," I said. "I meant trim. Tata will just clip your ends." It was too late. The whining had started and the tears were flowing.

Somewhere between last year and this year, hair has become a real part of my daughter's self-identity. She likes to wear her hair out - in a big floppy fro. But she also likes corn-rows and pony tails - anything where she can add barrettes, clips, bows and other adornments. She admires her teachers long, straight weave. I tell her that her teacher's hair is nice but that her bouncy hair is my favorite.

When Kirigo talks about hair as a journey, she's not kidding! Right now, I am co-driver to a 4-year old. In a couple of weeks, we'll make a pit stop into Tata Kirigo's styling chair to gas up on loving, lovely hair care! My daughter is not looking forward to it at the moment but once I tell her how pretty she will look, I'm sure she'll come around. Not to mention, she likes having Tata's undivided attention. After that, we'll strap in, press the gas and see what is in store over the next year.

Sydnye White-Oyugi is a proud mom, freelance television producer and freelance writer. She wears her own natural hair in locks.

Thank you so much Syd for sharing your story.

Can you relate to this mother's views?

Please do share.

Solange Knowles' Hair Cut

What's the big hoopla? Huge controversy! Some are saying she looks awful... Feed back all around is not too supportive. 

People are not impressed by the hair cut. 

Personally I think she is yet another example of  "The Bold and the Beautiful!" It takes  a lot of guts to make such a decision.

I say you go girl! You stand in your purist form, au natural, hard core, and the real core if you ask me. 

What to you think about her new cut?
