Black hair natural styles | Fedorah from Queens | Natural Hair Style Icon | Black Girl | Blog Black Hairstyles



Introduce yourself!

F: My name is Fedorah and my family is from Haiti, but I was born and raised in Queens, New York.

Did you transition or big chop? Share your natural hair journey with us!

F: I would say I did a little bit of both- I have been natural all my life but I started taking my hair health seriously in 2011. Three years ago I noticed that my hair was extremely limp and no longer curled due to the stress I had put it under with blow dryers and flat ironing. I was on a weight loss journey so with all the working out I was doing, it was pointless to straighten my hair since I would sweat it out anyway. I was more concerned about length and was against scissors, so I probably went about 4 years without a trim. My hair was long but it was unhealthy and the only way to fix it would be to cut it. I got the courage to go Devachan curly hair salon located in Soho, New York and cut off all my dead hair. By the time they were done with me my hair was above my shoulders, but I saw right away that my curl pattern had already improved.

How would you describe your texture?

F: My hair is a mixture of 3b's and 3c's. It's frizzy on the top but very curly on the bottom. My mane's behavior is very mixed lol – One day she is slaying the next day she is a brillo pad. I have noticed that I need to constantly rotate products every month because my hair stops responding or just becomes immune to the product. I would describe my strands as coarse and soft.




Describe your styling regimen over the course of the month, and the rationale behind your various styling decisions.

F: I usually do a lot of wash and gos and for days when I want a little volume I will diffuse. I rotate products so currently I am using Dark & Lovely's Anti- Breakage Hair Butter and Coconut Oil. I do a lot of buns because my job requires me to wear my hair up, and out of my face so to prevent any damage I do loose low buns and bobby pin my bangs.




What does wash day look like for you?

F: Wash days are pretty easy for me now that I have gotten to know my hair. As of right now I'm using Dark & Lovely's Anti- Breakage shampoo and conditioner along with the hair butter.




Describe your favorite go-to hairstyle for days when you don't have a lot of time to style.

F: For days where time is limited I always go for high buns and two braids, simple and cute.









How do you combat shrinkage?

F: I always go for my Black Power hair pick comb and simply comb out my roots. Simple method but it works every time.




Tell us about your hair color!

F: For any coloring job I always go to the professionals, I do not take those type of risks. For the color I currently have, it was bleached blonde for the first time and I loved it but I got over it very quickly. After about 2 months I went to the salon and put a dark brown toner over it and resulted in the color I currently have. It did change my hair texture because my curls became looser and I had less shrinkage than usual.




What are some of your problem areas (if any) that require extra care and attention?

F: I would have to say the crown of requires the most attention but I kinda like the frizz . I am so tired of trying to make my hair a texture that it is not or forcing it to behave a way – so if my crown wants to be frizzy then by all means.

What are 2 do's for your texture?

F: Wide tooth combs and hair butters.


What are 2 don'ts for your texture?

F: I stay clear of bristle brushes , small tooth combs, and towels – they do my hair absolutely no justice.


Is there a blog/webpage or social media account where we can find you?

F: Yes on Twitter and Instagram – @Namedafterahat

Hagel changes <b>hair</b> policy after controversy | Military Times <b>...</b>

Posted: 13 Aug 2014 09:12 AM PDT

Dreadlocks, cornrows, twisted braids and other hairstyles popular among African American women will be more accepted across the military after a forcewide review of hairstyle policies prompted several changes, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said.

The three-month review came after a spate of complaints that service-level grooming policies were racially biased against black women who choose to wear their hair naturally curly rather than use heat or chemicals to straighten it.

"Each service reviewed its hairstyle policies to ensure standards are fair and respectful while also meeting military requirements," Hagel wrote in a letter to lawmakers on Capitol Hill notifying them of the changes Monday. "These reviews were informed by a panel of military personnel of mixed demographics reflective of our diverse force."

Three services — the Army, Navy and Air Force — have authorized additional hair styles, Hagel said.

The Marine Corps agreed to hold a special meeting of its uniform board later this year and is conducting a forcewide survey about whether the "twist" or "dreadlocks" styles should be permitted while in uniform.

The review concluded that the terms "matted and unkempt," which the Army and Air Force used to describe some dreadlocks and braids, are "offensive" and were removed from service grooming policies, Hagel said.

For some women, the hair regulations were derailing otherwise promising careers. For example, Navy Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Jessica Sims, a 12-year sailor, wears her hair in long, tightly twisted locks pulled into a bun when she's in uniform.

No commanders ever complained about her hair, Sims said, until she was assigned as a teacher at the Navy's boot camp, Recruit Training Command Great Lakes in Illinois. There, the 32-year-old sailor with an unblemished record was told to cut her hair or wear a wig, and when she refused, her commanders processed her for separation for "serious misconduct."

Sims's case was put on hold recently by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who asked for additional review.

Hagel's policy made service-specific changes:

Army:

■ Increased the size of authorized braids, cornrows and twists and eliminated the spacing requirement.

■ Authorized temporary two-strand braids.

■ Authorized a ponytail during physical training.

■ Eliminated the terms "matted and unkempt" from grooming policy.

Navy

■ Authorized two-strand twists.

■ Authorized multiple braids to hang freely if they remain above the collar and encompass the whole head.

Air Force

■ Authorized two-strand twists, French twists and Dutch braids.

■ Changed the term "dreadlocks" to "locs."

■ Eliminated the terms "matted and unkempt" from grooming policy.

Marine Corps

■ Will convene a special uniform board this summer to consider expanding authorized hair styles.
