Music is just another form of human connection.. so it’s important that they are feeling what I’m saying..and how I’m saying it. I want them to feel the vibe, the chord progressions and the harmonies .. I want it to touch them they way they touch me. I dunno.. I just feel like we are missing a lot of Realness in music now a’days.. and we are responsible for the loss of it..and the regain of it. I feel responsible for trying to bring this feeling I once had back.</a></span></p> </blockquote>http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15605599881http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15605599881Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:32:00 -0500natural hairBlack Girl With Long Hairblackgirllonghair.com<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxeemiUAAv1r4yyhwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blackgirllonghairforum.com">blackgirllonghairforum.com</a></p>http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15417039868http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15417039868Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:32:42 -0500natural hairBlack Girl With Long Hairblackgirllonghair.com<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxc8tl7oX91r4yyhwo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxc8tl7oX91r4yyhwo1_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p><span><a href="http://blackgirllonghair.com/2012/01/safiya-natural-hair-style-icon/">Going natural helped me grow to be more confident in myself because after my big chop I wasn’t able to hide behind my hair any more…</a></span></p> </blockquote>http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15353075129http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15353075129Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:32:00 -0500natural hairBlack Girl With Long Hairblackgirllonghair.com<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx7l5hjFhF1r4yyhwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blackgirllonghair.com/2010/06/loc-luv/">blackgirllonghair.com</a></p>http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15229357071http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15229357071Tue, 03 Jan 2012 01:10:29 -0500natural hairBlack Girl With Long Hairblackgirllonghair.com<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx5ke8mtnA1r4yyhwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><span><a href="http://blackgirllonghair.com/2011/06/noddy/">When I really started my natural journey I was in high school, and people would mock tease and make fun of me all the time callin my dirty nappy, etc, but I maintained my hair, because I saw it as gorgeous, regardless of what people said.</a></span></p> </blockquote>http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15162805679http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/15162805679Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:58:56 -0500natural hairBlack Girl With Long Hairblackgirllonghair.com<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwz8zqvcd51r4yyhwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blackgirllonghairforum.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?screenName=3ftp14upec34o"><a href="http://blackgirllonghairforum.com">http://blackgirllonghairforum.com</a></a></p>http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/14982298430http://naturalhairisdope.tumblr.com/post/14982298430Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:07:02 -0500natural hairBlack Girl With Long Hairblackgirllonghair.com<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwwhc5yF5d1r4yyhwo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwwhc5yF5d1r4yyhwo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p><a href="http://blackgirllonghair.com/2011/12/china-in-germany-natural-hair-style-icon/">It’s uncommon to see black girls with natural hair in this country (Germany).
