Celebrating Your Crown: 8 Songs That Make You Proud to be Natural

August 1st, 2011 - By Veronica Wells

Today I was on Wikipedia and I searched the word “Afro” (actually it gave me Afro textured hair) It was relatively lengthy based on Wiki standards and rightly so. There is a history behind our hair, a legacy even. Now as we find ourselves in another natural wave it’s good to have music to celebrate and encourage us through our natural-haired journey. Check it out.

    Makes me feel left out. Not every black girl has nappy hair.. what about us curly haired girls? :/

      Well women with curly hair always got more positive attention. We have to do our own thing to express our beauty. But for the most part african americans have nappy hair. My hair is also nappy and curly or " coiled." But All healthy hair is beautiful.

      Uh enough people don't already put your precious "good hair" on a pedestal?

    the only song i can think about that lifts up not only your hair but who you are is-i am not my hair by India Arie.the very first time that i heard it i was so happy.the song first starts off with akon saying how-success didn't come till i cut it all off.then India goes on to say about her childhood with different styles and color.also in the video there are black people and even a white guy with different style.it's so uplifting that the song is going through my head right now.

    Thanks so much for this fabulous article. Sometimes we sisters need some encouragement regarding the beauty of our skin, hair and features. This certainly helps us celebrate.
