Now that’s a gamble nobody wants to take! So in order to avoid a full cut, follow our simplified list on how to relax your hair. Get educated The proper technique makes all the difference in managing that growth in your African hair. So before you start, look at the texture of your hair and determine how many chemicals it can handle.

What Is Your Favourite Winter Hair Colour? Brown Burgundy Blonde Plum Famous Quotes Blonde hair is bold, fearless and fun, in the words of Rob Stewart, ‘Blondes Have More Fun’. Blonde hair colour amongst black women has always represented a big and colourful personality. Not every black woman can pull it off; instead, they stay in their brown or black hair colour lane. What seems to be the common thread among black women who opt for this colour is power and fame. When the likes of Mary J Blige and Lil Kim went blonde they were on top of their game, the Queen B’s of their craft, independent and smart. They are also seen as rebels and leaders and this hair colour is like a stamp of approval, that they had ‘arrived’. It’s important to note that there are black people out there who are naturally blonde and boy are they beautiful! These are the natives of the Solomon Islands in north-east Australia, the blonde Melanesians. It’s believed that this group of people have this colour because of their diet high in fish and their historical relations with people of European descent. They have a unique gene that has allowed their skin and hair to adapt to Australia’s harsh sun and as a result, they have silky dark skin and gorgeous blonde afros. Whatever it may be that caused them to be blondes, we can’t deny there’s a certain charm about a dark chocolate skin colour against a glowing head of hair. The contrast between this girl’s skin and hair makes her stand out from the crowd. Why...
