Tightly Coiled Hair Sistas!


Here is a cool site that is mainly for empowering black women to embrace their natural hair. It’s called Nappturality. On their home page they define what nappturality is and what their site is about. Nappturality is “about embracing your NAPPtural, natural hair”. This is a great website if you’re transitioning from perm or straight hair to going natural. This site offers many tips on how to do your hair, pictures, and a few encouraging words. This website triggers a specific audience and that’s women of color who are transitioning. I love this site so much because it is encouraging and helpful and specifically for black women with tightly coiled hair texture. There aren’t that many sites that really focus on women with my type of hair. Most of the time when you are searching for natural hair styles or hair care products; you get a site with a biracial black female who wears her hair natural. It can be frustrating because women with tightly coiled hair are taking advice from the wrong sites and are expecting the same results. But they won’t get it because they have a different texture. That is what sites like these are for, because this type of hair is not as accepted and it is most feared. Nappturality along with inspiring women work to change the perceptions that the media has made about this type of natural hair. Sites like these make me proud of my hair and I wish I had this site when I was going natural. Nappturality is a supportive site that gets you started with the process of going natural. But you have to remember that going natural doesn’t happen overnight. It is a process that takes courage, strength and acceptance. Acceptance is vital in loving your hair and who you are. Once you have accepted your hair and that it is unique and beautiful, then you take it day by day. Check out the site and maybe you’ll change your mind.
