My Hair Diary | Houdini Magic: Shrinkage Blows My Mind

I absolutely love seeing this verse of the natural hair anthem - gently stretching a coil to show the strands true length. Seeing naturalistas do this blows my mind!





The Chic Natural: YouTube - How To: Straightening My Natural Hair

How many times have we seen pictures of naturalistas stretching their coils? It's such an amazing sight to see. Really, no matter how many times you have seen your naturalista friend, sister, mother, cousin, or sister at the church...you may not really know how long her hair is!
