Black Hairstyles Gallery

monday style and thoughts from lagos nigeria ~by Oghomwen E.

BGLH has a graphic designer! You can meet her (and me) at the first ever BGLH meetup! Yes, BGLH now has an on-site graphic designer. Shari — who debuted with the Saturday retrospective during guest blogger week — will be re-designing the site and also do some writing. The new BGLH website will debut in early Fall. She works for an advertising firm in Chicago and has done design work for top blogs like Afrobella and the Fashion Bomb. And she is currently transitioning from relaxed to natural (go Shari!) The coolest part is that she lives in Chicago, so we're right by each other.

so i am excited about this BGLH first: vanisha, who models and dances professionally, has submitted her photos . i was talking to J the other night, and we discussed how a lot of black female singers don't wear their hair naturally, while a higher number of black female models do. i definitely want to do my little part to encourage this trend and give some shine to an up and coming natural model/dancer. "this is my story of 3 years :] — from shoulder length permed hair, to super short twists, then i found out about HAIRDYE (lol), and so many different hairstyles... (i even once) took the time to straighten my natural hair and curl it!! i'm known for my big hair, i'm a professional dancer/model and it really sets me apart from everyone." ~vanisha professional photos everyday natural looks straight/relaxed looks
