Gone Natural - Jasmine

Hey SKM! Its Show and Tell Thursday's and we're profiling our fourth natural lady Jasmine Henderson living in DC but hailing from Nebraska. Enjoy!


How long have you been natural?
I've been natural for 9 years.

What made you decide to go natural?
I had an unexpected epiphany about my definition of beauty and why I thought straight, long hair was 'best.' I started to research chemicals that were in relaxers. I also thought it odd that if one applied these chemicals without gloves, it would damage their hands...so why would I put something on my scalp that I couldn't safely put on my hands?

What is your hair regimen?
I wash & twist every 2 weeks. I use to do it myself, but started going to a salon again. I also periodically dye my ends blonde.

What are your least favorite products?
Probably Carol's Daughters products for locks. She markets and packages really well, but it's really not natural. If you can't see the ingredients, then it's usually not the best option. I do like her hair oils.

What do you like about being natural?
I think it accentuates a person's face more. With straight hair, you can usually hide your face. Natural hair alone draws lots of attention because it's different. And that's why I think it's dope because it's unique and everybody isn't rockin it. It takes courage!

Well Jasmine is definitely a natural beauty and her locs stand out ALOT. Check out the various ways that she rocks 'em.

  1. I love the "Gone Natural" look that Ms. Jasmine wears and wears well. We, meaning African-American women allow society to depict what is beauty even down to our hair. This is a style that you have to be confident. As Ms. Jasmine stated not everyone is "rockin" this. Not even our caucasian counterpart can mimick this...and look good at it...ROCK IT GIRL!!!

  2. I like this look. I haven't decided yet whether to go natural but the styles are impressive. I like to change hairstyles and these clips definitely are worth considering. What is that name of the salon who creates these styles? Again I like this...
