1BlessedNatural: 8-Year-Old Raps a Beautiful Message to Little Girls "Love Your Hair" It is a crazy thing when little girls feel they have to compete with the images on a perm box. The natural hair movement is not only for adults, but for children especially. 8 year old actor, King Nahh and 13 year old Nelisa Duncan have a beautiful and powerful message for young girls about their natural hair. Check out the video below! @1BlessedNatural Amazing 8 yr old uplifts young girls about their hair! http://t.co/r2FTuIi8fI @KING_NAHH #naturalhair — Kevin Anderson (@kpovtv_kevin) January 13, 2015 What do you think of the video?

New Changes Coming to Natural Hair Tales of 1BlessedNatural Happy Wednesday, my blessed naturals! I hope you are all having a great week! There are some new changes coming to this blog. For the past 3 years, I have mainly covered natural hair. Now, I know what you are thinking... Isn't this a natural hair blog, right? Yes, it is, but I have more interests I would like to share with you all on here. When I first started this blog back in 2011, I also started writing another blog called " Signed, Sincerely A Music Fan " where I discussed gospel and r&b music. I've  included a handful of articles on here about music, but now I will be combining the two blogs into one. Natural Hair Tales of 1BlessedNatural will still be a natural hair blog magazine, but with a little musical spice to it (smile). God willing, it will also include new music, playlists, charts, and TV show reviews. I am excited about the new changes, and I hope you all are too! Stay tuned!...

Raphael Saadiq (Photo courtesy of Flickr: Patrik Hamberg)   Happy Sunday everyone! Many of you may remember Raphael Saadiq from the group Tony! Toni! Toné! He was also a member of the group Lucy Pearl which also included Dawn Robinson (Envogue) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad . Saadiq has gone solo and continued making albums through the years; he has also collaborated with many different music artists. I think that Saadiq is one of the most underrated music artists. However, he did make Time Magazine's list of The World's 100 Most Influential People . Yes! Last year, Toyota released a commercial advertising the new Prius car. The commercial features Raphael Saadiq singing and strumming his guitar alongside the car with 3 beautiful woman of color, including 1 natural :-) The song is catchy and fun. It makes you wish that he would have made the song longer than 30 seconds (hint, hint). The commercial makes me want to go out and buy a Prius lol. Mission accomplished...
