In a recent interview with People Magazine Bey "revealed" some of her secrets.

ON HER NEW BANGS


After cutting "severe '60s-style bangs" just two months ago, Beyoncé is already trying to grow them out. "It's very hard, because you have to pull your hair back and do these other things with them. Now [that] they’re long enough, [I] swoop them over."

So I thought the whole world knew she wore lace fronts. No? Are they seriously asking her about her hairstyle, like they don't notice that it is a different length, color, or texture in every other shot. Did they really use the word "grow"? What's really hood. Did people mag miss the "Good Hair" memo via Chris Rock?

Tell em why you mad son

Model Behavior

The beautiful Selita Ebanks recently rocked this scully to celebrate her Bday. Now that I am going natural lets face it, my crochet hats are more prevalant than ever. But I restrict myself to low key places like work (Ha!) or running errands. I have never considered wearing a hat to socialize with friends. I barely wear them around boo thang. I have to give it to Selita though, she kept it real funky. No embellishments at all. Do you feel that hats have a time and a place? 

Silky Milk

Kim over at naturally_psyched has managed to stretch her twist out for 7 days. Yeah I know, pretty impressive. She swears that a product Silky Milk by Straight Request made it all possible. I just so happen to in the market for a good setting lotion. So I tried to research the product. It is pretty hard to find. Not much comes up on google about it. I have to give it the side eye at a glance because it is marketed with black hair care products. I love to support my people, but most of the products targeted for blacks have ALL of the ingredients that naturals have been told to stay away from. I can not find an ingredient list for this product anywhere. Has anyone heard yea or nay about product?

Maybe Kim will grace us with some answers.

Are You Happy With Nappy?

I do not like the word "nappy". To me it is the equivalent of NIGGA. Don't do it.

I feel like people use that word for lack of any other way to describe black hair. Yes, I am black. Is my hair nappy, no. I mean it just sounds bad. It is definitely meant in a derogatory way. Have you ever heard someone use it as a compliment? I haven't either. Other naturals who say they are "happy nappy" get on my nerves too. That's like saying to the world, yeah my hair is ugly and not the norm, but I like it this way. I prefer the terms, kinky, thick or course. And to make matters worse, this is what Dictionary.com has to say:

Word Origin & History

nappy (adj.)

"downy," 1499, from nap (n.). Meaning "fuzzy, kinky," used in colloquial or derogatory ref. to the hair of black people, is from 1950.

Does the word bother you?
