Okay, here is my friend Kim, whom I LOVE. Kim and I went to college together, and she is one of the most beautiful women I know. Her natural hair is really spirally (is that a word?) But she flat irons it occasionally. Imma be real right now. I wish my hair was as long as hers... in time, in time. Thanks for sending the pics Kim! SPIRALLY HAIR: STRAIGHT HAIR:

Lina is amazing. She was featured on motowngirl.com a couple years ago. Check it out here. Her hair has grown a lot since then...

oh, and here's a how-to for the style: 4 flat twists going into 2-strand twists across the front and cornrows on the side ending in 2-strand twists. Wearing a mid-head puff in the back.

RMichelle has been featured as a Monday style icon before, and I noticed on Fotki that she had recently intensified her regimen. Since July 1, 2008 she's been on a 'no sulfate, no silicone, no mineral oil, no petroleum or drying alcohol' regimen, and I can definitely see the difference in the shine, thickness and length of her hair! I asked her if she'd discuss her regimen, and she agreed. RMichelle's Photos
