Did you know that YOU are changing how hair care products are being marketed recently? Yes. YOU-the one who decided to accept the way your hair grows out of your scalp-yeah, YOU. Have you perused through your local hair care retailer to see numerous product lines (once marketed to women with chemically-treated afro/ethnic hair), now expanding to include products to style afro/ethnic hair in it's natural texture (e.g., Aphogee)? It is unprecedented to be able to walk into your corner drug store or pharmacy and find a multitude of products specifically designed to further enhance and beautify your hair. Anyone who was hesitant to take the natural plunge, now has the tools and resources readily available. It's incredible. And all you had to do was make the (sometimes brave) decision to wear your hair just how it is.
I wonder what other change you could influence by deciding how (and on what) you are going to spend your money???? Hmmm....
It doesn't stop there...just go to YouTube and search 'natural hair, 3/4/a-c, or anything related to natural beauty'. You will find tubers who show everything from how to care for and style one's own natural hair, to DIY natural hair care products. You've (in some way) helped to create a rich and supportive community. A community who strives to promote individuality and esteem, without demeaning others whom have not yet made the decision to follow suit.
Who knows, I may try my hand at creating a tutorial, vlog, etc.

By the way, I saw some very interesting footage come across one of my social media feeds...Have you seen the
Huffington Post-Black Voices feature on Anthony Dickie's hair regimen method? Did I totally miss this?
Anthony Dickie, sir, please clone yourself! Thank you.
I never thought to do this, but I may give it a try. Have you tried this technique? What techniques do you use to spruce your look?
