1BlessedNatural: Created By Lonna - Lonna styling her model's hair. (photo cred: @createdbylonna) Goals are not always the same when it comes to stylists!

It can be braided without heat!" Check out her interview below! 1BN:Where are you from? CBL: I was born in Newark (The Weequahic Section), NJ. Later on, I moved to upstate NY past Albany. 1BN: How long have you been braiding hair? CBL: I started learning how to braid when I was 4 years old.

New Changes Coming to Natural Hair Tales of 1BlessedNatural!

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!...
