I am proud to share Naturalness’ newest New Natural.  Nanita is a friend of mine who has witnessed my natural hair journey for years.  She’s seen me through my first journey as well as my 2nd big chop.  A few months ago she decided to begin her own journey. She now raves about how quick her daily hair routine is.  That along with her gorgeous TWA is sure to inspire others!

Are you a new natural who has recently decided to “let go of the lye”? Do you have a 3 or 4 pictures of your newly natural hair that you would like to show the world? If you are a new natural (natural for less than 1 year) and would like to be featured on this website, please fill out the New Naturals Showcase form found here: New Naturals Form

If you are currently transitioning and are not 100% natural, please wait until you have BC’d (chopped off the relaxer) before sending an email. I want to showcase freshly BC’d and newly natural pictures as an inspiration to those who are still considering going natural.  I am especially looking for those beautiful TWA pictures, so if you have any, be sure to include 1 or 2!  Oh and just to inspire you to show off your twa, click this link to see a few pictures of mine: TWA Pics and some of the ladies who have already been showcased: New Naturals

Miss Tiffany, originally featured back in October (here) sent me some updated pictures on how much her hair has grown over the past 10 months. I just had to share her amazing growth here on the site. She has been showing off this amazing growth using my stretched afro technique (shown here).

From this

To this in 10 months!

I am happy to feature Li Li as my newest New Natural.  Those who have been visiting the site for a while may recognize her from an earlier feature: New Natural’s Showcase . I am thrilled to feature her once again, because after relaxing briefly, she has decided to begin her natural journey again.  She is sure to inspire those who have also gone back to relaxing, but who is thinking about BCing once again. Li Li, I hope you don’t mind, but I wanted to quote what you said on your fotki: “Okay so here I go again….Being relaxed is so boring….I realized how much I enjoyed being natural it truly fits my personality and my hair is much healthier. I’m starting over and this time it’s for good…They say 3 times a charm” continue reading …

I am thrilled to showcase this month’s new natural.  I went to junior high and high school with Ta Tanisha.  I have not seen her since 1994, but found her on facebook one day.  I was overjoyed to finally see her face again after all of these years, but had a special smile on my face after seeing her natural hair!! She is a great (and beautiful) inspiration for women who are considering going natural!! I am more than proud to feature her. continue reading …
