we are getting closer and closer to the end…I submitted challenge 6 last nite and hope that it is received well. I got to shoot with one of my favorite photographers! He shoots hair really well…I got my hair done for the first time in a looooooooong time! Took me back to the days when I used to get cornrows as a kid, except alot less painful lol…
After this competiton i want to cut my hair off to start fresh. My hair has gone through alot from being under stress about a year ago…It broke off and thinned out like crazy and im getting fed up with it! So ima get as many wonderful photos of my hair as possible before I start over…
In the meantime vote and comment on our pics for “Am. Next Natural Model” and stay tuned for Challenge 6:)
Now that Chris Rock has shown us one part of Black women’s hair care in his film Good Hair, America can watch how another part is styling their tresses in a pageant called America’s Next Natural Model organized by Going-Natural.com.
Party Chic
We just entered holiday season so we are staying in a festive mood. For the next challenge I want you to imagine that you are going to a White House dinner to show our First Lady who is open to a natural do, the best options she can imagine.
People are hardly exposed to chic natural dos now you models have the opportunity to start changing that.
Please
– write an essay about chic naturals and include your best photo
– upload 5 pictures of your best chic natural do.
Wow this competition has been pretty exciting for me, I’m happy to be a part of it . At first I was a little nervous about the challenges; the photos, my hair, location and stuff like that because I’m not a model, I’m not an actress, I don’t have photographers lined up who I can call for my next shoot. Im just a girl who loves and embraces my natural hair.
I see so many little girls that are so beautiful, vibrant, and full of life, yet their hair is permed and damaged and not in its natural state. Many of them look at women on television who have perms, and weaves, and think that this is who they are suppose to look like. Sometimes it saddens me, because I cant go to every single black girl and tell her “your hair is beautiful the way it is, you are beautiful the way you are. The actresses on television are doing just that, acting, and you don’t have to look or be like them because you are blessed to have your own look and style. You don’t have to alter and chemically process your hair because you already have natural hair that is gorgeous, and it was given to you by the creator, and it will stay with your forever” If I could do that believe me I would, but what I can do is be an inspiration, I can represent Americas Natural Model so that Black women and little girls can look at me, see my journey and receive the message that I cannot directly say and give to them. Thats more important to me than anything else in this competition.
Check out who leads after challenge 5!

Challenge 2 was a bit unnerving. I mean the challenge itself was great, even relaxing. The products were amazing, and I really have to figure out where to buy them for the future. Still the whole uploading process was so hard. I tried for over two hours to no avail. Until I had to give up and allow the contest admin to do it. There are some major bugs.
