Natural Journeys: My Sisterlocks and stuff

Super Bowl XLIII has been dubbed the hairiest championship game on record. Larry Fitzgerald's locs and Troy Polamalu's voluminous hair is just BEAUTIFUL... wow! Prior to being loc'd myself, I would have been sooooooooo envious of these bruthas with all their beautiful hair. Now, I KNOW that I HAVE THAT HAIR!! I don't have to hate... just appreciate... Source: latimes.com - Jim McIsaac / Getty Images and Ross D. Franklin / Associated Press I do wonder about how safe these guys are out on the field given the nature of the game. Clearly, they are taking their chances. **GO STEELERS!!*** 2009 Year of the Black Man... CONGRATS Coach Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XLIII Champions!!!

As I often say... God is too wise to be mistaken... I became tired of being tired of losing the hair fight against NATURE. "Winning" the hair fight only resulted in temporary straightness unto an inevitable cycle of hair breakage, skin and scalp irritation. Having now attained a level of natural hair enlightenment-- approaching 4 years being Sisterlock'd, I realize I had some self-hate goin' on. It's NOT just hair ... in the same way that BEAUTY IS NOT JUST SKIN DEEP. Hair issues of nappy-headed folk are so much more about institutionalized self-hate indoctrination passed on now generation after generation. GO NATURAL... break the curse of systemic psychological manipulation and social engineering of African Americans and other nappy-headed people of color. Be FREE and free indeed-- mind, body and spirit! I'm encouraged... we ARE getting better. (I declare it-- naw walk it out, y'all...)

Is Barbie rockin’ a natural hairstyle with fabulous eyelashes?? Look at all of her pivot points… this is design to MOVE! Feel her rhythm … does this Barbie® doll NOT indeed appear to be performing "Wade in the Water" from Alvin Ailey's classic masterpiece, Revelations as well?? Why, yes! Yes, it does… 2008 introduces … the first ever Barbie® doll to be inspired by a dance company—Alvin Ailey® American Dance Theater Barbie® doll. Designed by Artistic Director Judith Jamison. (Right on time for Christmas… don’t hate on good marketing!) I absolutely LOVE seeing the Alvin Ailey dancers perform! Now, my oldest daughter has had the experience of seeing the Alvin Ailey® American Dance Theater perform. Her grandmother ( THANKS MOM!) made sure she took a few of her grandchildren who she considered old even to appreciate the performance. My daughter and my nephew had the privilege to see the Alvin Ailey® American Dance Theater. They too now know of the famed beauty and grace of ...

I learned about these curlers from LADYKPNYC on YouTube CAUTION : Some Profane Language I was fascinated with these Curlformers! I wondered if they would work on Sisterlocks, but I'm actually very happy with the method I use to presently spiral curl my loc'd hair --pipe cleaners. My next thought was my own offspring. Thinking 'how cool not to have to use heat'... Of course, I certainly curl their hair with everything I USE already. TRUTH IS... I just REALLY wanted to try these Curlformers. I purchased the hook--$3.99 and a single package of rollers --$11.99 at Sally's Beauty Supply. I only got 8 rollers in a pack. So, as you see I used just a few Curlformers on each of my girls. I chose NOT to just to try these Curlformers on the hair of a single willing daughter -- just in case it really worked. 3girlsmomma wasn't 'bout to hear all the whinin' about how they wanted curls like their sister.
