Tamara McDaniel's "Black Women With Real Hair"

My name is Tamara McDaniel I’m a professional makeup artist from the Miami area. I started this page because I have often been asked questions about my hair. Black women (relaxed, natural, or transitioning) love to talk hair. This is a new era in Black hair. For the first time individuals and corporations are focusing on what's best for Black hair and not just what makes it straightest. As I've said a million times…This is not an ANTI chemical page. We are not anti-relaxer or anti-dye. My mission is to let all Black women (no matter what percentage of Black they are) know that their hair IS an option. ..Their REAL hair. Let’s dispel the myths. YOUR HAIR DOES GROW. Maybe you are the type that has to be natural, maybe you can’t color, maybe you have to use a relaxer only once every six months, or maybe you can do texturizers. If you learn what’s best for your hair your hair you can have the hair length you desire. IT’S THAT SIMPLE! One thing this is group is against is people trying to sell their hair potions promising to “make your hair grow”. It’s silly! Science has that covered and NOTHING but pregnancy can make your hair grow more. Hair grows about 6 inches a year. What helps? Reduce breakage. PERIOD! ~Tamara McDaniel Black Women With Real Hair

Stop telling people they don’t “act black” or that people like “white music” We are individuals, NOT stereotypes!

Also fact: If you don’t change your habits once your hair is out of the braids, you’ll end up right back where you started. Then you’ll put braids back in saying how “my hair only grows when it’s in braids…” And the cycle will continue…

I got my braids done and I’m ready for summer vacation.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and grandmas!

I’m getting my hair braided tomorrow. This is how it looks now. I’m going to do a lot of swimming this Summer, and with braids it will make my life a lot easier. #naturalHair #team4c

Hi My hair type is a 4A long , I sweat in my head a lot. What will be a good product hair care for hair that is wet a lot?
realblackhair realblackhair Said:

Wet is good for natural hair. Natural hair loves water. Co-wash it as needed and follow this hydration routine ( http://realblackhair.tumblr.com/post/41119610756/re-hydration-challenge ). No need to ask about special products. Any product that is a creamy oil based moisturizer will do. Remember, never spend more than $8.00 on a product. :-)

Since hair is dead, I have been moisturizing my hair for a while and I can get it soft but it still frizzes. I know my diet has a lot to do with it, so does that mean I need to eat right and cut of the dead frizzy damaged hair?
realblackhair realblackhair Said:

I have no idea. My hair is frizzy by nature. Cutting, eating, or moisturizing won’t change that. It’s how MOS Black natural hair is. If you have a hair type that is frizzy I suggest you embrace it.

The MET gala had a “punk” theme. I guess this is Solange’s version of formal afro-punk. WELL DONE!

When I go on with my rants about self-hatred, this is what I’m talking about.  This girl feels that Black women are inferior and allows her self-hatred to impact the way she views this scripture.  Apparently, our hair is a curse and that is why we have “hair problems”. I don’t have a hair problem and my hair is not a curse.

I figured it would help if I gave you all some information on the selection process. 

As I’ve said in the past, I do NOT select the featured fans, babies, or Instagram pictures. I can, however, tell you the guidelines I give for the selection process.

1.       No pictures of the back of someone’s head.

2.       No blurry pictures.

3.       No cell phone screen shots…Meaning you made a screen copy from another site and your cell phone screen (battery life, reception, etc.) is visible.

4.       No fuzzy or unfocused pictures.

5.       If the background is unappealing the picture will not be selected.  

6.       If the photo is tagged with a big banner, it will not be chosen. Watermarks are ok or small tags.

7.       Babies with permed or flatironed hair will NOT be featured. (YES! It happens. :-(  )

8.       No bathroom pictures. 


*PICTURES EMAIL TO ME HAVE NO WAY OF BEING FEATURED*

Only 10 fans are selected a week and one Instagram photo a day.
