Nearly every contest result starts with the words “It was really difficult” and unfortunately, I can’t be original in this sense. It was darn difficult to choose America’s Next Natural Model 2011.

Challenge 5 – Creating Hair Coils… Update: My pictures are now posted!!!!
For Challenge 5 I was given the task of creating a How to Guide for Creating Hair Coils. To achieve the Coils I had to roll my hair on flex rods. This was the first time I ever used rollers of any kind since going Natural. I also have never worn my hair in Coils. […]
The first challenge
The first challenge was soo much fun! Immediately upon placing the hair pins in my hair I felt regal, I felt like an Egyptian Goddess… Especially after putting on the dress and makeup. The location just added to those feelings. I was surrounded by Egyptian hieroglyphic writing and numbering, photos, statutes, and themes. It was […]
Finally got the box!

Last but not Least
Being natural has made me a healthier person, once I became more conscious of what I did to my hair and the products I used, I also became conscious about other aspects of my life. Being natural has taught me patience, diligence, and humility.
Erica’s Final Challenge
I cannot believe this is the end! As sad as I am to see this chapter of my life close I’m glad I had this opportunity as I have learned a great deal about myself through this journey.
My Natural Journey
by Vee Jefferson. I’ve always liked the idea of going natural, but never had the guts to go for it. My aunt, who has been wearing locs for some time now, had been encouraging me to grow out my natural hair so she could loc it. I always told her I’d think about it, but […]

MMMMM Peppermint Milk
I think I had a bit too much fun this time around (smiles). I washed on my hair the scent of Peppermint Tea filled the bathroom. This was a sign that my hair was definitely clean and I was ecstatic!
Follow Me Back to Eden
When I got my box of Eden Products I was really excited I have tried soo many hair products over the years, and I am always willing to try one more. Luckily, I have had my mom by my side to help me sort through the […]
Vees Experience!
Oh let’s see… Try ALL the products in the Eden Body Works’ Peppermint Tea tree hair pack and then choose my favorite. Would that even be possible? Decisions, decisions.
Your Coils Will …
Feel Like Royalty When the challenge was presented to me, it was quite a surprise. I didn’t think we’d be producing ads! I briefly reflected on my college days when in Communications 101 we had to create clever ads.
The Perfect Satin Pillow Case for Braids, Locs and 4C Naturals
The very first real challenge the contestants of America’s Next Natural Model received was trying out 100% silk Pillow cases. Silk pillowcases are said to prevent hair breakage and keep strands moisturized. What better way to have our beautiful Black models test the theory to see if it’s also true for natural hair?
