Alice in Nappyland

Official tumblr for the natural hair care/beauty/fitness Smörgåsbord known as Alice in Nappyland. Tips and tricks for natural hair care and beauty enthusiasts ballin on a budget or bathin in Benjamins. Oh and puppies. Lots of puppies. Because puppies are cool. And some fandom. Because why not.

Time for a bit of a change. Today’s Hair Idol is ALL ABOUT short hair. Fades. Tapered. TWAs. Bald and Beautiful. All of them. I’m tired of seeing long hair as the be all and end of all of natural hair. Short hair is beautiful!

Spread the love!

Due to an unexpected turn of events (hello life!) my appointment to get my hair flat ironed and trimmed this weekend is Not Happening. And I’ve been wearing a wash and go, a style I don’t really gravitate towards, because I had assumed Someone Else would be washing, detangling and styling it before sending me off with my hair swinging and glittering in the summer sun.
Boo Freaking Hoo Alice. Your hair appointment got canceled. That’s not the problem!

This is so sweet. It’s like Grace Bol is shy about her own work being so exquisite. Aww. <3

Father’s Day is in a couple of days!!!

Gotta admit — we don’t give you dads enough credit. Even though your methods can be less than conventional, you always find a way to get the job done, making us giggle in the process.

This is for all the dads out there who can detangle, braid, and twist with the best of ‘em! We love & appreciate you. ♥ - NaturallyCurly.com

Me and my daughter

I love it

I remember when my father did my hair one time. He get’s an A for effort’

 I don’t watch Shameless and I have no real interest in the show (Yet another coming of age/family comedy/drama about dysfunctional white family? Are you all really out of ideas? If any of you feel strongly about the show, leave your best justification for me to watch it in the comments. Hit me with your best shot.) Shanola Hampton’s picture has been popping up a lot of on my tumblr dashboard, which means sooner or later, I’m going to have to figure out who the pretty Black lady with the stunning smile and gorgeous locs is. And ta dah! We have a Hair Idol. 

Enough rambling-more about her!
