| Lisa Nicole Carson |
Looking at Love Jones and Lisa Nicole Carson's cascade of natural curls.
Brought back memories. Those were the days... I'd (almost) give my left foot now for Lisa's reggie. Gorgeous curls!
Was she co-wash only, gel, what?
What did she use in her wash-and-go, though it certainly wasn't called that back then. This was so long ago, before mass-market Carol's Daughter, Miss Jessie's or any of the myriad curl concoctions now on the market. There was no word for that style, but even back then I knew it was cute.
Lisa Nicole Carson was truly a pioneer, back in the day when bone straight hair and silky straight wraps were the must-have. Back then, very few of us embraced our natural curls. For the few of us that were natural then, most of us wore our hair straightened, not a curl in sight.
I don't know where Lisa Nicole is, or how she's doing, but I hope she's doing well. Reportedly, she has suffered from mental health issues over the years.
What do you think of early natural hair pioneers?
