Are You A Deeper Life Member????

Source

Lately I have been having conversations with women here in Nigeria that go like this:

Lady: Hey is that all your hair?

Me: Yes

Lady: oh okay, so are you a Deeper Life member?

Me: No, it is a personal choice to wear my hair out this way.

Lady: But why don't you use a relaxer to straighten your hair then?

Me: I do not want to straighten my hair because I like having a curl pattern.(Didn't she get the 'it's a personal choice')

Lady: Okay. (Looks at me as if I stole her blackberry or sth).

Me: Struts off with my bad self knowing I left an impact anyway.

Well folks that is the story of a kinky girl's life here in Nigeria. The way natural hair is perceived in Nigeria is sickening. I will feature more of these convos on this blog henceforth because they are well...fun hehehe. Remain blessed folks.

Be Hair Inspired: Photos Of The Day

How is it going people! I hope you are all having a wonderful and blessed week. So today, while checking out what was happening in the natural hair world, I couldn't help but gasp at the pictures on Curlynikki (I adore her blog)of her on MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry. I will post the pictures she took with some other beautiful naturals as well on the show. My heart is always filled with joy when I see women carrying their own hair with so much confidence. The woman with the gray fro is on point and Actress Nicole Ari Parker is looking lovely with her TWA. Congrats Nikki for doing a good job on the show and you look stunning. As always I will put the pics below for you to see that it's possible for you to exude such beauty and elegance with your own hair (curly or straight). The key is to work with what you have, make the best out of it, and then rock it with CONFIDENCE. Source Source
