Hair. We never have enough and it’s never good enough. Who is the standard-bearer when it comes to hair — especially for Black women?
Real simple – mainstream America and our corporate jobs set the tone of what is acceptable or not. However, if viewers can decide the physical makeup of which talent is delivering the news/information and what they should look like as it relates to weight, beauty, race, and not skill or talent that is a real real problem.

The most common question black women ask me is, “What can I do about dry hair?”
Dry hair just like dry skin is a challenge for many African Americans. If you are someone is have very dry skin chances are your scalp and hair are very dry as well.

BNM, the summer heat wave is here and the hair is well … you know.

I had this hair for over 20 years

Let me say that change is not easy — especially when it comes to MY hair since that’s my Achilles heel.
Admission is the first step to recovery!
Recently, I posted a photo on Facebook with me and a client out for drinks and the comments were the following:
Out with Agnes Davis, Swim Swim Swim I Say
Now Hair This!
Honestly, I didn’t recognize self (either) because I’ve yet to push the RESET button in my mind that I’m allowing my hair to grow.
Thanks for the comments – I am bracing all things anew for this season because it feels right. I just bought a flatiron two weeks ago to manipulate my hair straight after a wash, trying all types of products to keep the humidity from my natural roots/stubborn gray.
Any tips to keep the hair healthy and humidity free?

No Makeup and Natural - September 5, 2011
Have you ever felt stuck in an image time capsule?
Every time you reconnect with someone from your past they say, “Wow, you look exactly the same, recognized your hairstyle a mile away.”
Hmmm.
Then you start to think and feel some kinda way, prompting you to go through photos from the past twenty plus years and realize damn — I’ve only had variations of the same look for a long long time.
Am I stuck? Continue reading
I recently read Heidi Klum’s blog on the Huffington Post candidly sharing how she cares for her bi-racial babies hair.
Let me just say … I respect her game for celebrating her our hair and understanding that Black hair is beautiful, however, requires tons of tender love.
Black hair is tre’ special and MUST have the following:
1) Love
2) Celebration
3) Time (it takes us a little longer to get the right style)
4) Exceptional hair products (for some reason our hair requires a new gel, conditioner, detangler, and shampoo every three months to maintain our coif)
5) Mo’ Love
In the blog from The HuffPo, ‘Caring for my Kids’ Hair,’ Klum says … Having four children, with one having straight hair and three curly, it’s a bit of a new world for me. Growing up with straight hair myself, which was all I really knew how to work with. It was pretty straightforward: wash, air dry, done.
Henry, Johan and Lou — my three youngest — have super beautiful locks. Their hair definitely requires a different kind of care than my daughter Leni’s hair. I’ve learned to never brush their curly hair when it’s dry because then it’ll frizz. I use lots of conditioner and detangler, and only go to hairdressers who really KNOW how to cut and style curly hair. Continue reading article on Huffington Post.
What are your BEST tips for caring for our hair?
BNM, I love me some Sesame Street and now they’ve outdone it with this amazing showcasing of ethnic pride and diversity.
Natural Black hair is usually not talked about in a “positive” light amongst (most) media outlets; I applaud Sesame Street for making our hair texture “cool.”
I love my thick, curly, straight, and kinky beautiful hair. Don’t you love yours?
Let’s break the cycle and truly love the gift from our African ancestors — our mane.
