Leigh's 2010 Hair in Review

Hi, it's Leigh - the other half of Knapsgirl.com

As the year is coming to an end, I decided to do a collage of my hair styles throughout the past year. I'm not a person that is worried about length AT ALL, I really just love having healthy, wonderful, versatile hair as you can see in the pics.

If you are considering going natural always remember that you will be able to wear your hair is so many styles! It will be so healthy and shiny if you show it love and care.

Enjoy and KEEP UP THOSE STYLES IN 2011 fellow naturals!!!!!! xoxo

Need styling ideas?

As a teacher, I am privileged to see many little natural heads regularly. I often take inspiration from my little charges styles for myself. For those of you who aren't surrounded by small girls all day I offer these two blogs for styling ideas. I was surprised to find The Story Of A Princess And Her Hair a Caucasian mom who does detailed and intricate braid and two strand twist styles on her daughters hair complete with adorable accessories. I admit I had bought into the stereotype that only people of color styled their childrens' hair regularly. I was wrong. In the same vein is, Beads,Braids and Beyond!. This blog not only showcases beautiful styles on children but also product reviews on many familiar and popular products for natural hair. I know we are adults but you may find inspiration in these picture-rich blogs.
