In honor of Thanksgiving

Putting a twist on an old tradition.....

What hair styles/tools/products/etc are you thankful for?

I second the putting a twist on an old tradition. I'm also thankful that I no longer have to sit in a hair salon for hours waiting on slow stylists. Even though I just BC'd in July, I'm amazed at the things I've learned from researching hair. My New Years Resolution is to take money I would've spent bi-weekly at the salon in a bank account and watch it grow like my hair. I can't wait. I would've done it in July but I invested in a steamer....

I'm very thankful for sites like this that have taught me so much about how to care for my curls! I'm also thankful for conditioner, oils & butters!! Oh and all the stuff in my pantry that I never knew were so great for my hair

I'm thankful for CurlyNikki.com and all you wonderful curlies.

I'm thankful that I don't spend $200 on 2 wigs and some hair lotion at Beauty World. < that was the lady in line in front of me and the wig she had on looked like a hot mess. I spent $6 and my hair will be fly.

Thankful for shea butter, castor oil, and these wonderful hair boards/blogs. 2009 was definitely a great year for my hair!!!

I am thankful for the countless number of women before me that decided not to be consumed by a lie and for showing me another way...[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] to care for MY hair.

girl, say what??? well, it takes a while for others to see the light because we all have our own journey.

moultry that is DEFINITELY a good idea and i will attempt that for 2010!

im thankful for coming to my senses and lettin the lightbulb go off in my head to go natural. also, for the many bloggers who take time out to educate other fellow natural-nista's becuz i swear had i not taken such good notes on others experiences and tricks of the trade, i'd probably be hittin up the Affirm perm as we speak. why didnt i do this sooner and where have i been all my life!
