Hair Update

It's been 9 days now since I have my kinky twist in. During the week I decided to unravel the ends to get a fuller effect, and honestly I'm in love with the way they look. My hair is growing out nicely I do hope that I'll achieve my hair goal. Only 95 more days to go.

Naturali-Chik Look-Book: Solange Knowles

In the past couple of years, Solange Knowles has become a role model for women with natural hair. Whether she’s rocking a TWA, braids, or an ultra-fluffy ’fro, her tresses are always glamorous and inspirational!

Here, we take a look back at the singer/actress/deejay's flyest mane moments since her "big chop" back in '09!

In 2009, Solange officially cast aside her weaves and wigs to rock this instantly trendsetting, closely cropped natural.

By early 2010, her closely cropped cut had grown out into springy, two-inch long coils.

At the Max Azria spring 2011 fashion show Solange sported this huge free-flowing fro.

Solange rocks 90's-era braids and a turban at Marquee in Las Vagas.

  






At a Guess fragrance launch, Solange tucked her tresses into an ikat print turban.

At a Range Rover event, Solange fluffed her chemical-free hair up to sexy new heights.

At a fete for INC International Concepts, Solange rocked her natural six-inch coils-and paired them with flawlessly lined eyes and paled lips.

I wish Solange all the best on her natural hair journey. May she continue to rock her natural tresses and being an inspiration to me and other naturali-chik ladies out there.
