Essence magazine writes an article about top-ten natural Black hair products titled Miracle Worker. Website URLs on the topic run the gamut from treasuredlocks.com to blacknaps.org and prescribe a menu of products that sound like a trip to the patisserie; there’s Kinky-Curly Curling Custard, Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme and mmm… Shea Moisture Curling Souffle. WebMd even posts a Q&A about Black hair care and maintenance. The headlining question reading: How is African American hair different? Followed by: Why is it so difficult to style my hair? The Black hair phenomenon underscores an obsession with the “African” of African American hair and you realize what is deemed “natural” actually took a lot more than “nature.”
