Remember having to dive for cover or find something to put over your head as soon as the sky threatened rain? Remember having to schedule your outdoor activities around the weather? No more of that! Run around in those life-giving drops.
It may not be so great for stretched styles, but those free kinks, curls and coils just might flourish in the wet air.
Ditch the swim cap and jump on in!
Can't nobody tell you nothin'.
Natural hair encourages self-maintenance, bolstered by an amazing online community full of tips and tutorials.

Welcome to the gun show!

Who cares if you can't fit a hat over your head? You don't need it!
Bring it on!!
Get it in! No more excuses!
Turn down for what?!
It's it's high- or low-maintenance as you make it.
That hair is an investment in more ways than one!
It's not that you need anyone else's validation, because your opinion of yourself is the only one that matters. But there's something awesome in knowing that other people recognize that the way you were made is okay.
