Hello and welcome back UHURU readers! Over the summer I have noticed how more and more women are going natural. I started doing research on natural hair and how to take care of it and I realized that there are so many websites and blogs showcasing women rocking their natural hair from teeny weeny afros to bantu knots and curls! I have heard people say that natural hair is a "trend" right now, but I hope we start calling it the norm. So, in honor of the new "Natural Hair Movement," here are my top 5 natural hair blogs!
5. Afroniquely You
Afroniquely You emphasizes the idea that natural hair is a lifestyle. Everyone's hair texture is different and Afroniquely You will teach you how to care for and love your own hair. Sasha-Shae Shaw had new naturals in mind when she created this blog. For tips on maintaining healthy, natural hair or if you just want to read interesting hair stories, check out afroniquelyyou.com4. Afrobella
Patrice Elizabeth Grell Yursik created afrobella.com in August 2006. "Afrobella is dedicated to product reviews, ruminations about culture, music and style and interviews with women all shades of beautiful." If you are interested in all these things and cool giveaways, you'll love afrobella.com3. Curly Nikki
"If you're not feeling your hair, you're not feeling yourself," says Curly Nikki. The self-proclaimed "Dr. Phil of Natural Hair" allows you to take a seat on the red couch and examine yourself outwardly and inwardly. Society, friends and family often influence our thoughts and ideas about personality and style, so it's always refreshing to have a place where we can be ourselves...naturally! For hairstyles, ideas and discussions peep CurlyNikki.com2. Natural Chica
Mae, better known as Natural Chica, started NaturalChica.com in July 2009 when she began her transition to natural hair. This past July she celebrated one year of being natural and the website's first birthday. This blog is great because she posts videos of her hair journey on her youtube channel Nikkimae2003. She tries different styles and products to show that natural hair = versatility! She also attends many natural hair events. If you're looking for something new to try with your hair, go to naturalchica.com now!1. Black Girl With Long Hair
BGLH takes the #1 spot! Leila Noelliste started the blog in April 2008. BGLH is based in Chicago and most if its events are held in the Chicago area. I consider this blog one of the best sites for researching natural hair. It provides readers with product reviews, testimonials, "Now and Then" contests, giveaways, styles, ideas and plenty of information. It also has links to other fabulous blogs. BGLH takes pride in "celebrating the dopeness of natural hair" as the logo at the top of the site says. It makes women feel comfortable with their natural beauty and has encouraged many to transition to natural hair or do "the big chop." See for yourself at bglhonline.com!
