Kinky Talk
Kinky HAIR that is! I came across this discussion on Facebook and it’s filled with good information.

Kinky hair is especially fragile, which means you can go natural, rarely use heat, yet still experience […]

Summer Time!
[youtuber youtube=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr0tTbTbmVA’] If this song doesn’t get you excited for summertime, pinch yourself because you’re not living in the moment! I could hear this on Christmas and want to break out my shades, grab a glass of lemonade, and lie on a hammock…but I live in St. Louis so it’d probably be 25 degrees on […]

Love the Skin You’re In
While perusing Instagram, I came across Erwin Chatelier’s page and instantly knew I wanted her style to be part of My Natural Reality!

I was always so perplexed whenever I was approached to sell items that I made. I thought, “Why would anyone want to buy this?” I saw my crocheting and knitting as a hobby, a thought that entered my mind one day as I left the hair salon. I was determined to learn to crochet, so […]

I’m getting extensions…what should I do?
While talking with a friend about her braid installation, I decided it’d be a great idea for a blog post!

My HAIRspiration for the day: braided styles
Braided styles tend to be simple up and are a great protective style (especially for the bitter-cold winter months). Here’s a couple styles that allow you to keep part of your hair protected with braids while still enjoying your natural hair!
