You can touch my hair…
Or can you? This is a conversation I’ve had with many women of color. My personal feelings about it are no, you may not. Duh. Please refrain from walking toward strangers and touching something that does not belong to you. Hands will likely be smacked. Kinky hair need not be a major fascination […]

Simply Thrown Together: Fall Layering
I’m not really a fan of fall (or winter and sometimes not spring for that matter…). However I have to say I love to wear collar shirts under a crew neck! It makes me feel a bit like a tomboy when I don’t dress it up, but it’s still oh so cute! Shoes: Converse from […]

Style Diaries: Danae
I started my natural hair journey precisely two and a half years ago. It all started when I saw the movie “good hair” and my entire outlook on natural hair changed. My mother started putting chemicals in my hair when I was four, so essentially almost my whole life. I did not know what the […]

Style Diaries: Myisha
My name is Myisha and I am the owner of the online boutique Myseleganceboutique.com. My journey to natural hair is really not that dramatic.

Teen appropriate styles
It’s not always easy for me, a 31 year old woman, to go against the grain in today’s society so I can only imagine what it’s like for a teen. Going natural is a lifestyle change that isn’t yet accepted by the masses but it’s very rewarding and should be considered. 🙂 This post […]

The inspiration… One day, I took my 3-year-old son, Jojo, to a barber. I explicitly asked the barber not to shave off all of Jojo’s hair and to just make it shorter. The barber then proceeded to, in […]

Get financially empowered
My Start-and My Rant… How crazy is it that one weekend I was shooting my summer 2013 line for Vent Tees and the following Monday I immediately lost all interest. As I reflect back I vaguely remember thinking to myself that the Natural hair t-shirt industry was slowly but surely becoming saturated; however, I continued […]
