Wednesday Style Icon? Yes!

Our style icon series has really taken off! More and more women from all around the country and world are emailing in with their photos and thoughts on natural hair.

I have been really honored to profile some AMAZING women on this site, and because of the increased influx I will add Wednesday as I day that I profile icons. Not all Wednesdays, but many.

Our upcoming Wednesday icon is G.G.



In the very first BGLH post I ever did I mention that after shaving all my hair off, I searched the media for hair inspiration and found very, very little. So it's exciting that now, you all are hair inspiration for me and the women who check BGLH. (Take your hand, put it on your shoulder and pat.)

Being a style icon has nothing to do with hair length or texture and everything to do with uniqueness, imagination and creativity.

I'm trying to working up to icon status myself. My hair is not *quite* there yet (I don't want to do a profile and be put on blast on my own enterprise... not that that would happen, but still) but I'm working my way there...



Thanks guys for supporting the site and keep the profiles coming!

Also, let me add, the the style icon series is by far my favorite thing about this blog. I wish I'd had something like this when I transitioned all those years ago.

LOL!! Thanks everyone. My hair is getting there, not *quite* where I want it to be. Still trying to thicken it up in the back and tweak my regimen so that my strands are softer.

I like the direction my hair is headed in though... but our previous style icons have really raised the bar!!! If you want to be a style icon on BGLH you have to come correct (myself included!)
