1BlessedNatural: Kelis Shares Her Secrets and Tutorial for Great Curls in App! (photo cred: Instagram/Kelis)

Kelis is spilling her curly natural hair secrets, and she's doing it in her new app! Yesterday, the "Milkshake" singer gave us a tease of how she styles her no-heat roller set on Instagram.

Even though you have to visit the app to see the actual roller set tutorial, Kelis shared that she sleeps with a satin pillow case. She also recommended sleeping with your curls up in a pineapple to preserve them. If you're newly natural and wondering what pineapples are, I will help you out! Pineapples are when you gather your hair at the top of your head like a ponytail or puff.

Kelis has never been afraid to color her hair and experiment with all different types of styles. Back in 2016, the singer shared one of her tips to keep her hair healthy. On Instagram, she said, "For those of us who color, strip and down right rely on our hair to do the impossible every single time with out completely abandoning ship on us. Consistent frequent trims are essential! Today I did mine!."

My Experience with the Kelis App

I downloaded the Kelis app on Google Play for free and I thought it was interesting. I've never downloaded an artist's app before, so I didn't know exactly what to expect. The app is basically like a more in-depth 'gram account. 1BlessedNatural Mag's Assistant Editor, J.T. said, "It looks like if Instagram and YouTube had a baby." lol

The Kelis app has a fan boosting system where you can be seen by the singer and other users. You can also upload pictures. The app also provides access to her music, videos, and exclusive content.

As for the roller set tutorial, you have to subscribe to see it. The subscription is 2.99 a month but you can do a free7-day trial. Ya'll know what I did! (insert smiley here). I subscribed using the free trial. In order to see the video, I had to come out of the app and go back in for it to refresh. 


Kelis' roller set tutorial was an okay start! I like the fact that a celebrity released a hair tutorial because it makes them seem more down to earth. Plus, we can get all the hair tea on their styles!

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...
