The origin of Nappturality
The word Nappturality was invented by Patricia Gains. To convey that nappy hair has spirituality of its own, she combined the words: nappy, natural and spirituality. Since Miss Gains founded the website http://nappturality.com in 2003, it has grown into a movement. With over 60.000 members it is host to the largest forum on the World Wide Web where women of color from all walks of life can blatantly discuss and share their personal natural hair experience. To honor Patricia’s hard work and to carry on all she’s doing, Going Natural initiated the Miss Nappturality Contest. More about Patricia Gains.
