Fashion: Being a Naturalista in the Fashion World!

American Eagle, Steve Madden

    I have been wanting to write this article for a while, this is something that has been on my mind for the past few years. I am a licensed Cosmetologist and have been for 24 years, and I have notice a disturbing trend in the way women are grooming themselves after going au naturale. Attention ladies: just because you decided to go natural does not mean you have to give up on styling and combing your hair. The Pom Pom is cute but not for every day or every occasion and please throw away the headbands! Natural hair must be trimmed and combed regularly. Have you seen ladies who went natural and their hair is the same length 5 years later? Its because they don't take care of it like they once did when it was relaxed. Don't just give up!
 
    My dear friend and fashion guru, Donielle Polk Spears, is the epitome of keeping it stylish  and knowing what hairstyle goes with the right outfit! Remember fashion is from "head to toe"!! Here are a few of her different looks and ideas of how to change your natural styles for different occasions.

So ladies, remember the rules of going natural and fashion! Comb, trim, style, don't give up, and dress to impress! Natural does not mean glasses, no make-up, wood earrings, jeans , and the afro t-shirts for life!!!
I've said my peace! Do you agree? Let me know!
