Let's Talk About ... Natural Beauty!

Yes Yes Yes...

Thinkin' About Transitioning?????

Women of color are doing 1 of 3 Things:

1) Still Relaxing....

2) Spending Beaucoupe Dollars on WEAVES

(the hair itself) or;

3) Shaking things up and going...

AU NATURALE

Don't Lie... All of us are tempted to let our hair down.. our hair... in its VERY natural state. But - will the world accept us?, what will they say at my job?, will I accept myself?, oh and the popular one.... will I keep my man (or even get one)... Don't laugh.. these are truly somethings that WE are concerned with 

Have you seen Chris Rock's "GOOD HAIR" documentary?  If not I strongly suggest you get yourself a copy A-S-A-P #message Check out how SOCIETY views Black  Hair in its Natural state. Although, Chris Rocks delivery is comical - there is a serious message here!!  As long as we keep accepting what "society" tells us what we SHOULD look like - "society" will never accept what we REALLY look like! #themovement

Well this is a topic I've been wanting to touch on back in 2011.. when I started CocoaCosConnection and since Natural Hair is still a trending topic in the (I'll play is safe) Ethnic Community.  I cannot NOT address the questions, advice, testimonials, referrals, suggestions etc. THIS IS WHY I NEED YOU - MY READERS - to help me HELP YOU..

FALL in FEATHERS..

This fall's equinox - feathers rock! Feather extensions have been a fad for the two years. If you didn't know - now you do - thanks to the COCOACOSGIRL!

Sistahs.. but I personally, haven't seen you rockin the feather extension(s) - ONLY INDIAN REMY!! Maybe you just didnt know what, where, when, why or HOW!

Long or Short, Straight or Curled - the feather is VERSATILE! You can use rollers, hot curling/flat iron and ceramic hot rollers - so WORK IT LADIES...

Well, this upcoming season - OWN IT! You can rock the fall colored feathers with your Autumn wardrobe! Creams, Burnt Oranges, Tan, Browns and Deep Mustard Yellows. Make a statement with your feather extension(s).

So - I did my research on what it means to wear feathers as an accessory in your hair or on your head. This feather tradition goes way back to the Indians (all tribes). Each feather had to be earned by an act of bravery. Eagle feathers were used a lot because it was considered sacred (kind of like how we wear the cross around our necks). The Eagle's feather(s) represented the following: honesty, truth, majesty, strength, courage, wisdom, power, and freedom.

Given that you now have a little history lesson behind why feathers were worn by the Indians as an accessory - What will your symbolic feather of choice be?

You should be able to get your feather extension(s) installed at your local beauty salon, and they cost roughly $10 - $15 per extension; you may find a bundle deal at 3/4 for $35.
