“We are open to everyone. It’s not just for tightly coiled hair. It’s the hair that grows out of your head ... If you have questions we have answers.”

NaturallyMe, which was founded four years ago, started out as a way to educate and unite women of color as they cared for their natural hair. Since then, the organization has expanded to be a place to discuss and tend to skincare, overall wellness and mental health.

“That first goal changed to a bigger goal of taking care of yourself naturally in all ways,” said Asiyah Neal, senior health sciences major and president of NaturallyMe.

The club, which meets every other Wednesday at 9:15 p.m., often hosts speakers and events to educate club members about new skin and hair products as well as ways to practice self-love.

Neal emphasized that the club is not just for minority women, but is instead for anyone who wants to improve their skin, hair or self care routine.

“Since we are run by a majority minority people, people on campus don’t really look to us as something that is open for everyone,” Neal said. “But we are open to everyone. It’s not just for tightly coiled hair. It’s the hair that grows out of your head. It’s skincare. It’s what is good for the scalp. If you have questions, we have answers.”
