Natural Hair Celeb: Solange Knowles

Our fave natural --whose big sis, Beyonce, is sporting a similar look right now  -- is pretty in pink and wearing thigh-length braids while on vacay in Nashawena Island, Mass.

The Natural Hair Journey

One of the reasons why I snap so many hair pics is that I want to document my journey. Sure, pictures are great, but there are so many times when I ask myself: How did I get that style? Or, more likely, how can I recreate it?

Because, while pics document our journey, most of the time they don't tell us what we used on our hair to recreate a particular style, try as we might.

I look at this pic and think, WTH?



Circa Spring 2010. I want these curls BACK!

My hair was shorter, the pic was Sepia toned, but look at those curls, tho! They are poppin. Super duper defined, shiny curls. Not a frizz in sight.

But I just can't seem to get my hair like this again now when I do a wash and go, even with the same products.

Our hair definitely changes over time; what worked on your TWA may not work on bra-strap length  hair and vice versa. That's what inspires much of the quest for new and different products. I get it. Now I just want THAT wash and go back!

How do you deal with the varying stages of your hair?
