Last week I talked about the unique ways in which I deal with my hair given its challenging texture. Seeing how crazy my methods are, I really wasn’t expecting the post to resonate with so many people.

Tired after an hour long battle with my hair

BelleMuse is a BGLH alum.
So we’re about two weeks into the newly designed site (PSA: if you’re still following the old site please switch over!!!) and while Shari was working on it, we were inundated with the phrase “Long Hair”. It came up everywhere… when we were figuring out the logo, the header, the twitter [...]

Yeh, we all have different textures and our hair responds to different things but [...]
“I really believe that natural hair acceptance can be the catalyst to propel our people to new heights. Sounds far fetched, but I believe that if we can learn to love ourselves in our natural state and see the beauty within us, we can start to see the beauty in each other. I believe that [...]
The issue of genetics has come up recently on BGLH.First with a reader wondering if, after a lifetime of short hair, her hair could actually grow long, and second in the comments section for the profile of the lovely Chime who has a huge and gorgeous mane.
So, is it true?

“Um… I relaxed again cuz my natural hair was taking too long to grow!”
So, J and I were talking the other day about some of the e-mails we receive. They might start something like this…

I just did the big chop and I don’t know what to do! I know I can’t expect long [...]
