Writing my analysis of Jay-Z's 444 Album was so much fun for me because I really did it when there was a lot of confusion about his direction and the success of the Album and his OJ Story still has some fans baffled about his true angle in penning it.

New Day proves that Jay-Z is woke and when I say woke I mean aware and having a vision about the future. Being aware of his role...

Braided hairstyles are a part of African American Culture in all their perfect glory. That also goes for Dreads too. Though other races try to wear dreaded styles, they work best with African American textures of hair. With that being understood, imagine my surprise and frustration when I read the Dreadlock Verdict on a case filed on behalf of Chasity Jones, a candidate who applied for a job at an Alabama Call Center with a company named Catastrophe Management Solutions (CMS). Before Jones c...

Braided hairstyles are a part of African American Culture in all it’s perfect creative glory. It’s been a way to protect, manage and grow natural hair for some time, no matter the texture.

A lot changed for the better in my life since last December and I would like to give all glory to God. Abornewords is constantly growing and new opportunities to partner with brands and continue creating brand awareness are happening more and more. Today, I want to make use of a lyrics video I created last year. It is a video that is my official December Song and for me it's a little bit better than the 12 days of Christmas Song, simply because I connected it to a well known Celebrity and n...

Hopefully that video has gotten you ready for our share on natural hair and how great it can be to wear your natural mane, and how you can easily go from natural to straight.

There is an awful stigma associated with natural hair for a lot of women of color. The first word to come out of the mouth of women who love processed hair or those who have grown accustomed to their straight hair look is nappy! Not coiled, not curly, not kinky, not course but nappy y'all. It's really unfortunate that suc...

Good hair is certainly what every woman wants. Don't be fooled or misguided into believing the Good Hair has something to do with soft, textured, permed or straight hair. That is not what Good Hair is, nor are any of those qualities a requirement for achieving great hair.

The key to Good Hair is finding a style that makes you feel like you have it all together. The satisfaction you get from matching the right hairstyle with your facial features and structure. Your stylist does not have to get...

It's the dreaded T, and I'm not talking T-Pain for all of you Chopped and Skrewed fans. The Big T that you need to be aware of can make you look 10 years older and can eventually lead to balding. By now you probably have guessed that the mystery T is called thinning. Thinning is something we all may face at some point. It can be hereditary, result from improper haircare, can be a side effect of medication, or result from some type of illness. Whatever the case may be, thinning hair is no jok...
