Happy Sunday! Yes, it’s been a minute since we’ve featured a super stylish natural here on the blog (my bad… all this baby stuff has me all over the place!). But you’ll be happy to know that today, we’re featuring not just one gal but a whole group of women with fabulous style. So let’s ignore the fact that it’s actually December and welcome our November Natural Fashionistas, the ladies of KD Kulture! Representing the crew are sisters Kiirstin and Danica… let’s get to know ’em, shall we?! My name is Kiirstin Hill and I am the oldest of the three sisters.

Have you ever felt like your hair growth has come to complete halt? Many of us have gone through this at one time or another in our natural hair journey. The fact is, your hair is always growing but you may not be retaining length. In other words, just as fast as it grows, it breaks, creating the illusion of stunted growth. Here are five things to consider: Lack of Moisture Because our strands have twists, bends and curls, it’s much harder for the natural oil, sebum, to travel the entire length of the hair shaft from root to tip than it would for someone with naturally straight hair. So we need some help. On wash day, while my hair is slightly damp, I apply a leave-in then an oil or butter to seal that all in, giving special attention to the ends (since it’s the oldest part of the…

Another good one… Comparison is the thief of joy. Truisms for life in general, yes? I can’t help but think, though, how apropos this statement is with respect to a person’s individual natural hair journey. A “code of conduct”, if you will, for the natural hair community. You cannot truly enjoy your own beautiful natural hair if you’re steadily comparing yourself to others. Now, in no way am I saying that admiring someone else’s hair means that you don’t love your own. But it’s one thing to look at someone in admiration and another to constantly wonder why someone’s hair is so awesome and yours isn’t. Follow what I’m saying? The more you compare, the more you stress and beat yourself up about the plight of your hair which may not even be a plight in the first place. Not only is this a counterproductive practice but it causes discouragement…
