The end is HAIR, I mean HERE!

Big Hair Dont Care One Bit!!

Hey Curlies! So as you know  "Kinky Coily Beautiful Curlygirl" came about as a result of a Social Media Networking course I am doing currently. The semester is nearing the end and we must part ways with our blogs, pages, websites etc. However, I was asked by many persons to keep the page and to continue posting. They expressed their fascination with the page and suggested I keep bringing life to it. So while this is a goodbye to the assignment this is a "Let's continue" to great hair care! 

This entire experience taught me a lot. While many think that Facebook or Youtube may be a great avenue to getting their business or interests out there, it is very difficult to manage pages. I think the most difficult thing for me initially was getting feedback. I realized however, the content was extremely important in getting feedback. I had to find creative and unique ways to attract and keep my audience. 

Also, as we all know, working with and becoming dependent on others can always lead to disappointment, so ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN B! Never allow the shortcomings of others to stop you in your tracks! Once you have a clear vision of what it is you want to do, keep the determination and get it done! 

This assignment was not just about getting an A for me though I HOPE I DO (and I hope my lecturer is seeing this.... LOL) I am actually very interested in persons becoming confident and comfortable with wearing their natural hair and overall with themselves . I am not the most confident person you will ever meet but I am learning daily to love who I am becoming. Though I may go through many kinks and coils in my life, I will take each moment as a learning experience. 

My lecturer said to have a closing blog and here I am getting emotional! lol So Curlies, thank you for following my blog, my Facebook page and my Youtube videos! I hope you found it all to be very informative, entertaining and engaging. Remember that your natural hair, however you chose to wear it, is something to be proud of! Love your kinks and coils! Represent the natural community proudly! 

All my love,

Jamila, A Kinky, Coily, Beautiful, Curlygirl! 

NATURAL HAIR AND EXERCISE. A STRUGGLE?

I could have done a collaboration with someone who was doing hair or makeup but then that would be obvious! So what did I do? I went ahead met up with Renee Grant!! Who is she? Renee Grant is a classmate of mine who's focus is on Fitness. The name of her blog is "My Carnival Fitness Journey 2016." Renee's blog is so exciting and motivating for persons who have similar interests. 

Though I am not one to exercise, I must admit I learned a lot from her during this collaboration. We decided to team up because it was not the usual. Also we found a good way to blend the topics smoothly. Renee has been natural a couple times before therefore she understands the natural hair lifestyle. She knows the difficulty in having natural hair and exercising. 

Many naturals are strongly opinionated about exercise and natural hair. Many think that it's easy to manage their hair since they can wash it any time and not worry about sweating out their perm. Others think that it's tooo tiring a process to manage hair when it because sweaty so they either turn to the "white crack" aka relaxer or they stop exercising completely! 

In this collaboration, Chrisle Pujadas, an official KCBC girl was interviewed and gave her views on the matter of natural hair maintenance and exercise.
