Any Natural Hair Groups???

Curvimami

Just curious if there are any naturalistas on MFP? or anyone growing out their hair while on this healthy/weightloss journey ?

I haven't relaxed in over 6 years. My hair journey is seperate from my lifestyle change.

Well I'm natural, and also interested in maintaining the maximum amount of growth. So I guess in a way, I'm still on my natural hair journey while also working on my LONG weight loss journey.

Add me if you like hun :-) I've been natural since Dec. 28, 2010 -- that's when I BC'd, haven't relaxed since July 2010.

How far along are you?

I BC'd right before the hairshow in ATL last year so that was in April. I am still on my journey as well. It is a lot easier working out since I don't have the hair excusses. Both are journey's and I have been more successful on the hair journey. I can identify with you. There is a hair meetup in Columbia.

it is definitely easier to workout when you arent worrying about straight hair.

I have been natural for almost a year. I did the BC in August 2011. I am on a weight loss & natural hair journey and I am enjoying the ride so far. Please feel free to add me as a friend! We are all in this together trying to accomplish the same goals which is to be better overall from head to toes. Have a blessed day!!!

Hi Ladies,

I'm on a natural hair journey/weight loss journey as well. I BC'd January 15, 2012. I guess I sort of combine both my journies. My excuse for not cutting my hair sooner was "I want to lose weight first". I'm so glad that I didn't wait. For me, it's fun to see my weight go down as my hair grows. For some reason I connect the two. To me, they both are a symbol of overall health, wellness, and freedom.....freedom from relaxers/chemicals and societal expectations, as well as freedom from this weight that has been holding me back my whole life.

I love it!!! Congrats on finding, excepting and enjoying your natural beauty. I wish you continued luck on your journey. There is a group that is on MFP for individuals seeking Long/Natural Hair support called Long/Natural Hair Divas, just FYI

I got tired of the perms I have not relaxed my hair in over 3 years, I have been locking for 1 year 8 months and I am loving it. I am loving this natural style and yes it makes it so much easier to exercise. Best wishes ladies on your weight lost journey and best wishes to those that are having a hair journey also.

I have been natural since 2007, but in 2010 I got my sisterlocs and have not looked back. I love my hair:) I am real big on natural hair care, I make sure I spray my hair every morning with my mixture and make sure I wash my hair with natural products. Natural hair just makes it so much easier to work out and not worry about what my hair will look like...
