There’s this “new” movement amongst black women. We don’t know if you’ve heard about it. Not all, but many are abandoning the once coveted boxes of relaxers and replacing them with restorative oils and headwraps inspired by Erykah Badu. You know what it is. It’s a transition to natural. Going natural. If you’ve made the journey yourself read these revelations and see if you agree, if you’re thinking about it, heed these warnings and if you love your bone straight tresses read what your fellow sisters are going through out here.

Tuesday was quite an emotional day for Chris Brown and #TeamBreezy from chaos in the morning to celebration in the evening. Here are some more pics from a dinner that Chris held for the good folks in the board room that will be showing support cutting checks in the near future. Check out all the ‘Beautiful People’
Three years ago, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill & Bobby Brown said f*ck a “Ronnie, Ricky & Mike” and started a new group called “Heads Of State.” We totally missed it. And we’re sure you did too. And since that album they were supposed to drop still hasn’t come out, we’re sure they’re basically just going around singing New Edition songs. They did that yesterday at Jazz In The Gardens in Miami. Which means Bobby had to prove he’s still the “Kang of R&B.” Which led to many caption worthy moments like the one above. And this one. It also got us to thinking, ladies: which of New Edition’s former lead singers would YOU hit? More pics from their performance on page 2.
Mira, keep it funky : we love our Latin brothers. They’re either a spicier version of the brothers or a darker, safer swirl. They love their women with curves and attitudes; they’re abuelas can cook; they can dance their a**es off; and they can curse us out or talk to us dirty in Spanish… either of which would probably lead to great sex. At least that’s the fantasy. And these Papi chulos right here do NOTHING to kill that fantasy.
As a black woman married to a white man, Christelyn Karazin has had her share of people critiquing her relationship , why she’s in it, why she chose him, blah, blah, blah. She’s also done her own introspection over the 12 years they’ve been together, and in retrospect, wouldn’t change a thing. I know that’s it’s just easier for some black folks who are against interracial marriage (mostly it seems it’s directed mostly at black women who do it) to clump all of us couples into one, self-hating batch. But not so fast. I’m with my husband not because I hate myself. In fact, I feel quite the opposite. I married him because I think quite highly of myself, thankyouverymuch. I came to the point in my life that after much dating and striking out, I needed to stop being a mile wide and an inch deep about my choices in men. I had to stop being so shallow about stupid crap like, is he fine? what kind of car does he drive? Can he dance? Does he have a penis like a horse? and really, I mean, REALLY examine what was important to me in a life partner. Qualities that go beyond the level of melanin, like integrity, honesty, a strong sense of family and value of marriage, commitment, love, affection, little-to-no drama, and loyalty led me to my choice. For the first time in my life, I picked character above color, and I will not ever apologize for that. Continue reading at MadameNoire.com
It’s Friday night and you feel like getting fly and hitting the club with your girls. You put on that “freak um” dress determined to remind yourself that you can still shake your thang with the best of them. You’re not going to the club to find a man, but if a cutie came your way you’d get your flirt on. You walk into the spot and you definitely get that male attention…from a very persistent dude that you’re NOT feeling. No need to be rude or get angry. You’re looking your hottest, can you blame him? You need a plan to tactfully circumvent this unwanted holla. However, different kinds of men require different methods of escape. Here’s how to deal with five different types of guys that won’t take no for an answer. Continued at MadameNoire.com
