Written from the perspective of a thirty-something African American woman, Affrodite's Adventures In Nappy Hair will make you think, laugh, cry, and take action. Check it out! Blog topics include natural hair care, African American perspectives in culture/pop culture/politics, women's empowerment, stories from Corporate America, current events, and more!
i’ll go for number two: at present my favourite hair blog/site is http://www.afrobella.com she has been at this for awhile and her site is very thorough. not only does she cover hair, but other aspects of beauty as well. it’s a great place for a natural newbie to start the journey, as well as the nappy vet.
My favorite site right now is CurlyNikki.com. I like the spotlights she does on other naturals and the contests. I also like her product reviews.
My favorite hair blog is Curly Nikki http://www.curlynikki.com with Cherry Lola http://www.cherrylola.com taking a close second!
Your blog is absolutely wonderful.
I am leaving you the information of a wonderful barber. His name is Duane Reed. He works out of Jersey, but has also cut in Atlanta & NY. He calls himself a “classical male groomer” and even specializes in hair pieces for men.
He is phenomenal. He does every type of hair and is extremely good. He also
does women, but specializes in men.
I have left his info and blog stuff.

[...] reason for spotlighting Affrodite.net is because she is putting on a fantabulous contest featuring a CURLS Essentials Sample Kit, a $22 value containing a variety of CURLS hair products! [...]
My favorite site is http://www.napturalroots.com. I think the site does an amazing job of showing real women and men of all sizes and complexions who truly believe in “Naturality”.
Not only does the site have a great online magazine to share hair style photos but, it does a great job promoting homemade remedies for natural hair, transitioning FAQs and hosting forums about natural haircare and culture.
http://www.maneandchic.com, visually and content wise the best hair blog in the blogsophere.
Oh, I’ve done the research. I’ve updated the post to include a hyperlink to the Wisconsin Law Review article I wrote on the subject.
Is this still going on?
Hair-Necessities- No, the contest is over. It’s noted in the blog post.
