African Head Wraps


Hi Simply Naturel Readers,

While at the Natural hair gathering, I met a couple of really amazing women who specialize in African Head Wraps. For years I have been looking for new ways to wrap my natural hair, so when I met these women it felt like destiny.

In addition to their craft, they also work towards a greater cause. This cause is providing an alternative way to dress your head while undergoing Chemotherapy. Some women wish to not wear wigs, therefore draping their head with beautiful fabric is a creative alternative to changing over all appearance and boosting self esteem during a very challenging period.

Natural Hair Gathering in Harlem NYC


Hi Ladies,

This past weekend I had the privilege to attend an all natural hair gathering in Harlem NYC at The Audubon Ballroom. This was my first ever natural hair gathering which made it even more exciting. I had been researching them for months and finally stumbled upon the information on the website BGLH. It was a time for mingling, networking and just being in the company of genuinely amazing women! The energy was great. I cant wait for another gathering in the New York area. If any of my viewers know of any, feel free to leave a comment!


So...without further ado, here are some photos I took while I was there:
