…throw me three random facts about our
RANDOMness
kinks & curls. Elise: #1) - She [your mane] will tell you what she needs. Respect that. #2) - There’s nowhere on earth you can find this texture. That’s phenomenal! #3) - Black people have our own unique texture. Why would we want to look like anyone else? Sometimes, others can recognize the gift & beauty of our hair before we do.
The decision to go natural can be flaky, fickle, & FRUSTRATING! What motivation can you offer fellow

REVIEW
Curly Halo
Listen… When I check out my springy spirals in the mirror, sometimes I wish I could give ‘em a friendly peck on the cheek for turning my frown upside down on most days! BUT then there are those OTHER days. You know. The ones that try to provoke me into strapping on my gloves & box these hard-headed girls into submission! It took a while for me to embrace the “struggle” part of my natural hair reality, but it’s gotten easier as my feet travel this fun, confusing, exhilarating road! Trust: I wish I had Curly Halo to cry on after my semi-planned BIG CHOP. But I’m over the moon that it’s finally arrived! Penned by one of this generation’s most exquisite actresses – Kimberly Elise, Curly Halo is a well-versed collective of relatable anecdotes & practical hair care tips (focused on loving your mane as a GIFT…not re-inventing a new one), that is packed with those small details that can be easily overlooked on the journey. The Curly Halo e-book is a quick, easy & inspiring read filled with some pretty profound advice that’s easy on the eyes & helpful to the heart of natural hair care!

“I don’t believe in pitting black women against each other for any reason
– especially hair. Make the decision for
yourself, whatever is right for you.”
“Going natural is a personal decision. It creates selfawareness, you gain a great sense of self & once you get through you’ll feel empowered & more beautiful than you’ve ever felt. It’s something that is uniquely you. No woman is more or less authentic based on how she wears her hair
– this is one way to express who I am.”
Where does Curly Halo go from here?
“It’s been popular & we’ve gotten a great response! To give direction/help/support
– on the journey…that was
my intention. And if that’s what readers gain from Curly
…it makes me happy.
