"My Real Hair. Finally."
Here I am in a beautiful island villa with my Bankable team back in June. I always love how crinkly and wild my hair looks when I first take out my braids. (Weave/wig wearers, are you with me?) These shots capture the moment I decided it was about time to reveal my real hair. (I even a took "kitchen" pic, you know, the kinky nape of the neck fuzz a lot of African American women have.) I figured the decision to show my hair might become a big deal later, but at the time it wasn’t--I just knew I was ready to show more of the real me. (Of course Oscar, my hairstylist, was like, ‘Girl, it’s time for a trim.’)





















I love how u set the record straight on wearing weaves and how people might suspect u have no hair...I wear weaves as well and I have no shame in telling anyone who asks if its real....I admire you as women as and most o ... moreI love how u set the record straight on wearing weaves and how people might suspect u have no hair...I wear weaves as well and I have no shame in telling anyone who asks if its real....I admire you as women as and most of all a positive single black women who can be real about things in our society...i really comend you much blessings....

You are so brave, and it seems like you dont care what people think as long as you know its right, and your comfortable. You are my role model, and I know you get that alot, But i hope it still means something.

I would love to stop wearing weave but my nape and temple areas are severely damaged. Thank you for showing that African-American women can be beautiful in the skin (and hair) that God gave them.

I received a DRC treatment,and everything, but do to losing my job, i had to start caring for it myself, AND I FAILED!!! I was putting too much heat in my hair (flat ironing everyday) and it started coming out very badly. I went back to salon for EMERGENCy help and she suggested a sew in weave until she can get my hair back to being healthy. I was so embarassed, but i know what not to do this time.
