    I've known Nina since we were coworkers at Victoria's Secret in high school, and I'd just like to add that she as awesome as she is gorgeous.

    I feel the same way about magazines as I do about some shitty ex boyfriend who years later is all like...hey, I've changed, I'm totally a better person now. It's like, meh, indifferent, over you now and too little too late.

    I appreciate this story, but I really would love it if Jezebel did a big spread about black hair products, what it means to be natural, how hard that decision is for certain women and how much or how little some people are affected by white standards of beauty.


    I work at Ricky's in Chelsea, and there isn't a day that goes by where a natural haired woman comes in and asks me what the hell to do with her hair. Every talk show I've ever seen and every women's magazine has tips about what women with a caucasian hair texture should do to reduce frizz or make their color last longer or more vibrant or what haircut to get if your face is a certain shape, or what the best salons are. How about an interview with Shelley Davis of Kinky Curly or Titi and Miko of Miss Jessie's? Or a column, like the one written by the Sephora employee from a natural haired Jezebel reviewing black haircare products for the readers who may have no idea that such things exist?

    Shut up ms. baker. I'm a white girl with stick-straight hair, and I LOVE to see 'fros and dreads, both IRL and in mags.

    am i the only person who doesn't define this as an afro?


    i don't know all the images i have seen my people picked out their hair into a fro...i am pretty sure this women finger styled her hair with some product


    is this like a nouveau afro? post-modern fro


    it's a cute look though. however i am not cutting off my hair just to walk around all day with the same hairstyle, which is why i vacillate between "natural" and "flat ironed"

    @hypnotic: What is the difference if it is picked out or finger styled?


    There are a lot of different ways to achieve an Afro - you can pick it out, blow it out, or do a wash and go. I think it's splitting hairs a bit (no pun intended) to be picky because of the styling method when the overall look is the same.

    @xay: the only overall look is that her hair is spherical...i get your point but i still have a hard time calling this an afro

    I love this hair! A friend of mine stopped relaxing her hair several years ago, and it's GORGEOUS. We've been friends since we were three, and when we were in preschool, I always envied all the things she could do with her hair. My hair does straight or frizz, no in between. Ever since she has stopped relaxing her hair, my old envy is back.

    Let's address the truly ridiculous part of this shoot: did they put blush on her forehead? No, really guys, it's pink.

    She looks gorgeous, but I lament because she's STILL only a type 3 or 4 texture. Who's gonna stick up for us TRULY nappy heads! Not to downplay the importance of recognizing that there are tons of variation when it comes to black/ethnic hair. I just get sad because I never see anyone who has hair like mine shown in a glamorous light. Girls like me get relaxers, weaves, braids, or totally shaved down close to the head. I wanna see naps!

    @kityglitr: Type 3 or 4? Which system are you using?


    I have India Arie as my avatar because she is the only tightly curled natural that has been in the public eye lately.

    @kityglitr: honestly this is why i don't go to natural hair care forums anymore...people constantly talk about their texture


    does it matter? you can still achieve this "look" with kinkier hair

    @xay: Well, I am only guessing, but according to some websites, I'm like a Type 5. The tightest, kinkiest curl. The girl in the makeover had big bouncy curls, so I assumed hers were one or two types more relaxed than mine.
