My Natural Hair and Fitness Goals for 2015



1BlessedNatural: My Natural Hair and Fitness Goals for 2015

 Happy Monday, my blessed naturals!
I hope you are all off to a great start on this Monday morning! It's a new year and that means some new hair and fitness goals for me. Last year, my natural hair goal was to maintain the health of my hair. This year, it's the same thing. I also hope to reach Arm Pit Length (APL).

If you follow me on Instagram or YouTube, then you may know that I like to run to stay in shape. I run/jog for 30 minutes 3-5 days a week. Last October, my goal was to get in shape by my 30th birthday, and by the grace of God, I did it! This year, my goal is to keep going. I slacked off during the holidays, but I am back at it this week!

Last year, I mentioned in my YouTube video "God and Overachievers" that my problem area is my stomach. This year, I will continue to focus on getting rid of my belly fat by doing target exercises and eating foods that promote weight loss in that area. I haven't been weighing myself. I use the way my clothes fit and pictures to judge my results. My pants have been falling off, so I guess that's a good sign lol. Iwill keep you all updated! Be sure to follow me on Instagram for picture updates!

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Asian Hair Trend: Afro Perms

Asian afro perm (photo courtesy of www.afrohair.net) When we talk about the topic of natural hair, we often talk about African-Americans or Black people perming their hair to look more like Caucasian or straight hair. But, what about people of other races attempting to make their hair kinky or textured like that of African-Americans? Afro perms, along with other Black hairstyles have been a long time trend in Asia. Because Asian hair grows naturally straight, the afro perm gives the hair a textured look. The afro perm is not an actual relaxer or perm kit, it's the use of perm rods to make the hair curly. The beautypot.com says, " An afro perm is made by not straightening the hair. It is made by creating hair bonds that make the hair curl. The hair stylist makes the hair into a new shape, using perming rods or rollers, and allows the new shape to develop ."

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
