   Happy Wednesday everyone! The process of beautification for us entails different things. We always hear the famous quote, "Beauty is pain." Back when I still permed my hair, I hated sitting under the dryer. But it was a necessary evil. As a natural, I dislike the amount of time it takes for me to wash and prep my hair for the week. However, I've managed to get my time down to 45 minutes on a work night. Thank God! lol. This week's question is... What's the one thing you dislike about maintaining your natural hair?

In celebration of her new song " Cocoa Butter ", being released on iTunes , I am asking for 1-5 of your favorite India. Arie songs. You can also include songs in which she was featured.  Mine include:  1. "The One" 2. "Interested" 3. "Timeless" from Timeless by Sergio Mendes 4. "Private Party" 5. "Nature" What are 1-5 of your favorite India. Arie songs?

Good morning everyone! It's been about 4 months (July 2011) since I last trimmed my hair, and I want to trim it. I am a little reluctant lol, but I know that it is necessary to retain length. I was curious... How often do you trim your natural hair?
