Curl friends, I'm Shay or Dollaz, which ever you'd like to call me. I've been natural my entire life. I have ran into some break downs where I've went to beauty salons and the women put a relaxer in my deep conditioner. The first time happened when I was around 7 and the second time happened when I was around 19. When I was 19, I was devastated because I'm known for my fro. (more…)...

Hey everyone my name is Candy and my hair journey started with a hair mess up. In 2010 I went to Harlem with my friend to get a relaxer she had referred this stylist to me. we both went excited to get our hair laid!! Instead I left the salon with limp stringy hair.

Hi, My name is Erica, I'm Nigerian, born & bred and I am a newbie in the natural world. I have spent years fantasizing about becoming a "natural". I finally made the decision to go natural in November 2016 -I'm not even a year natural yet!- and ever since I did my big chop its been nothing short of a rewarding journey. Like any journey, I have had my ups and downs when it comes to ensuring proper health and maintenance of my mane. (more…)...

Embracing and cultivating my hair has been a long and continuous journey for me and although it started off on a rough note, I'm still here! (more…)...
