Do you know who V. BOZEMAN is??

V Bozeman is otherworldly.  We have music impersario Cee-Lo Green to thank for this striking singer/songwriter.   I'm not going to say much more.  Check out her 'Black Mama Sh*t':

Kinky Icon of the Week: Lenny Kravitz!!

Kinks aren't reserved strictly for the ladies.  There are definitely some brothers out there representing the Kink-Brigade.  One of our faves being Lenny Kravitz, whose kinky hair literally rocks!  Look out for him in the upcoming sequel to The Hunger Games. Please enjoy the view! (And peep the little extra somethin'-somethin' @ the end....ain't got a durn -thing to do with no kinks!)

Yellow Fever Strikes India!

I had to give myself 24 hours before I posted on the explosive controversy surrounding natural hair icon India Arie - YellowFever-Gate.  For starters, I am not going to post the picture here, because you all have seen it, and it is ridiculous.  I will not sully this blog with such ridiculousness.
Secondly, I can't say that I'm mad....just extremely disappointed.  This woman made her millions extolling the virtues of her brown skin, and kinky hair.....and now this.  I guess the cocoa butter she was slathering on was extra strength.  Okay - that was cheap.  I'm sorry....  I really don't believe she would actually bleach her skin.  However, when you have an artist of her stature, every official image released is approved by her.  Period.  Unless she is color blind, there is no way she could have looked at that photo and thought it was anywhere near her real skin tone.  That being said, what in the world could she have been thinking putting that mess out?  This is a direct assault on her own brand, and  a slap in the face to all of her loyal fans.  I mean, who does that?  She released a really limp explanation for the photo, citing 'magnificent' lighting.  Check out HuffPo for her statement.   SMH.  -YB

Hats! A Natural Girl's Best Friend! [VIDEO]

I wear hats, headwraps, and scarves all the time.  Head coverings are a wonderful addition to any natural's hair regimen.  Hats protect us from wind, sun, cold, and other elements that conspire to dry out and break our hair.

There are a myriad of options out there for head gear.  I put together a little video to share just a few of my faves.  Enjoy!
