Love What You've Got on Top!!




The tide is beginning to change and a lot of Fabulous Brown Girls are beginning to change the way they see themselves and the way they see their hair.

A Sesame Street producer has a young adopted African American daughter and when he saw how she was beginning to have a negative view of her hair he
took to his profession and did something about it.

Here is a clip of his story and why he did it.





Locally in Houston, Fabulous Brown Girl, Ashley Small, President of Medley Inc. went on ABC 13 to talk about her views on her hair and how she loves what she has on top!!



It is great to see that as African American women, we have the option of wearing our hair any way we want. We should not let our racial counterparts dictate what looks good on us, especially when it is not how our hair is naturally. Even though transitioning out of relaxed hair can be mentally challenging, the results are immensely rewarding to those who are willing to do so.

If you have gone natural or love wearing your hair however you want and do not care what others think because you know you were created wonderfully then share your comment below!


Oh and Just in case you have yet to see this example of viral self love check it out and make sure you share with everyone young and old!!

Make Sure You Are "Keeping Up With the Joneses"



As a Houston chick, I must admit that I "jones" for all great and positive things that come out of my hometown. One of those things is Jones Magazine.


Jones Magazine, founded by the FABULOUS Tracy Ferguson, is headquartered in Houston, Texas and is the first of its kind to be the "IT" guide of the biggest city in the state.

Jones Magazine is a lifestyle magazine and brand that focuses on upscale African Americans detailing the very best fashion, hair, makeup, and parties Houston has to offer.


Keeping Up with the Joneses will focus on Tracy being a single mother of two comical teenagers all while launching her other "baby" Jones Magazine.


The show premieres tonight, April 8th on Centric at 8 pm EST, which is under the BET umbrella.


Fabulous Brown Girls, we know you will be watching with us, so let us know what you think!


And special shoutout to our friend and FAB BROWN GIRL Ashley Minor, who will be featured in the show working for Tracy Ferguson and doing big things!

Make sure you follow @jonesmag and @ashley_minor to "keep up with the joneses" in every way possible!

Hair Today... Gone Tommorow



It seems that natural hair talk has gained more and more attention lately. I am happy that more women are embracing their hair the way it is naturally. As a matter of fact, Tyra Banks, TV mogul and former supermodel, is joining in on the natural/real hair kick. She revealed her "real" hair today on her talk show. "Tyra" wanted to show everyone that even though she mainly wears wigs and weaves thats its should only be an option. She is trying to embrace her real hair. She has no problem admitting that she wears fake hair, but she doesn't want other women to think that she is trying to cover up having a lack of hair or that she hates her hair.
As a Fabulous Brown Girl, I am not scared to say that I have dabbled in all kinds of hair styles. I think its great to be able to wear your hair in so many countless styles. From silky straight to big and kinky, I have experimented with pretty much everything that I can think of and I absolutley love all the ways I choose to wear my hair.

I don't care what you do with your hair--have fun with it! Just make sure you take care of your REAL hair and always embrace it. Remember that "good" hair is "healthy" hair. So don't let anyone make you feel that your hair isn't beautiful the way it naturally is.

So what do you think FBG's ? Is wearing weave that big of a deal?
If you haven't had a chance to see her hair revealed take a look at the video...
