			<title>The Day I Decided to go Natural</title>
			<link>http://www.going-natural.com/495-the-day-i-decided-to-go-natural.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ready to make that change after 11 years of perms and color...My hair was once my crown and glory; likewise, I use to take pride in being a strong African princess. However, I realized that the bone straight weave and permed look wasn&amp;#39;t making the statement that my mother set for me. My hair now a dismal thinning disaster is making me want to throw in more fake hair and hide behind a full lace wig. Well, today I made the decision that I will no longer be a prisoner of no-lye....</description>

			<title>Commitment in DC/MD/VA??</title>
			<link>http://www.going-natural.com/494-commitment-in-dc-md-va.html</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;Can you say commitment? I just recently got stood up by a stylist, not once but three times. On the phone this sister was knowledgeable and apologetic but when it came to her stories, I fell for them obviously. The last time I didn&amp;#39;t get a story just an address and a headache trying to find it and ultimately NO ANSWER or explanation for her missed appointment. You see, I&amp;#39;m picky about who puts their energy in my head! I&amp;#39;ve been in search for a full-time Natural Stylist that I can ...</description>

			<title>Natural Innocence</title>
			<link>http://www.going-natural.com/492-natural-innocence.html</link>
			<description>Until a few years ago I thought that I had to be chemically enhanced to be loved and romanced. As a woman of color, this is a very real issue in this country. Let&amp;#39;s get real for a few moments shall we. Every black woman in America has been misjudged by someone at some time and place in her life for something as trivial and as monumental as her hair. Kinky, coiled, curly or &amp;quot;nappy&amp;quot;. We adopt inferiority complexes about our hair from the media, our peers, loved ones and perfect stran...</description>

			<title>American Beauty</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My father and I frequently have conversations about my hair. Where I live very few people are natural and fewer still are my age (21).&amp;nbsp;Having natural hair is&amp;nbsp;percieved almost as a lack&amp;nbsp; of&amp;nbsp;hygiene or finesse.&amp;nbsp;To him relaxed hair is beautiful&amp;nbsp; and more manageable: acceptable. Besides this is in America, looks matter; why go against the norm?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My mother puts a &amp;quot;hassle free&amp;quot; relaxer that needs not the conventi...</description>
