I rocked a fro-hawk at two weddings this summer (both old college friends). I think it went really well. The style actually looked kind of elegant... but spunky at the same time.

rachel: NC artist... dope natural hair So I started profiling Rachel in the previous post. She's a North Carolina based artist whose work is really powerful. She's worn her hair in a TON of different ways over the past 17 years — from backlength locs to a bald head. I asked her to share her photos and her philosophy.

Camille My name is Camille and you've featured me before for the Questions from a Newbie series L says~This series has been renamed 'New to the Natural Movement' ... Well, I'm coming to you with some great photos this time for your Unconventional series! My hair has grown since I was last featured and I tried a new style. It is sort of a frohawk, but not quite. I love it though, and I've received so many compliments since rockin' it. I just want to show that your hair doesn't have to be long to rock a hawk! Hope you like it! Laquita

" I can say I’ve always loved and appreciated my natural hair. Even when others didn’t. In my gut I knew that it was ok to let my hair do what it does. " Felicia is a style icon in a unique sense -- Yes, her hair fits her aesthetic amazingly well... but she is also a master thrift store shopper.
