Fly Natural Divas

Here are a few styles I found on the web while doing my daily surfing. I hope these serve as inspiration to those who are natural and those who are considering going natural and/or locking!

Pictured above is the lovely, sultry Jill Scott at the movie premiere of Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too" (I can't wait to see it). I think this style would be great for natural divas, or those who are transitioning. You could even add some hair for body and length. How versatile of Miss Scott!

I found this pic "On the Road to Queendom" blogspot. This lovely is freeforming her locs and I must say they look so fly!!!! Kinda makes me want to combine some locs for the width. I think a lot of people are afraid to freeform because of the unknown outcome and the fear of not being able to control every aspect of the locking process, but this diva gives me a whole new outlook!

Janelle Monae, on of my fave artists, is famous for her natural mane. I imagine to gain this look, you'd need big roller (or great tuck and roll tactics) and a lot of hair pins. I think this would be a great look for an afrobella with a whole lotta hair who wants to try something new. If you decide to try this, please send me a pic and I'll post the comparison on Naturaldivaworld.ning.com

Ms B pictured from Ms B Speaks. This is my ideal length. OOOOHHHH I can't wait til my locs get this long....but I guess I don't have a choice. Braid outs look so beautiful on long locs. Grow hair grow!!!!

This is an old pic of Ciara, but I still love the style. If my hair wasn't locked, I'd definitely take a trip to my nearest African braiding salon and get these conrows for the summertime! Great for transitioners too!

Marsha and Natalie (of Floetry) represented the natural world well. I love Natalie's whimsical highlights. I'm thinking of doing something like that this summer, but maybe I'll wait for more length....
