Introducing CurlSistas.com!

curlsistas1 curlsistas3curlsistas2shanikahillocks copy shaztaylorbigchopjournal2 asiyamigold-1 nimafordcurlsista4diamondjanae4feature diamondjanaebloggernimainstaWhat started as a mere idea in my living room one Friday this past March is now CurlSistas.com, where natural hair meets personal style! Being a natural haired gal (meaning my hair is not chemically relaxed) that’s always loved my fashions, I wanted to create a space that celebrated both beautiful natural hair and amazing personal style. I wanted it to take you to the woman behind the hair — and thus, CurlSistas was born.

CurlSistas.com is a media site with the following franchises:

Curlsista of the Day – daily interview-like features of intriguing and stylish natural hair women

Big Chop Journal – written by our Big Chop contributor Shaz Taylor who recently went natural

-Product Reviews – get essential details on a product you’re thinking of investing in

-Hair How-Tos – we make it fun and easy to manage your mane with your helpful tips

Style Gallery – of looks in the following hair categories: Short, Medium, Long, Color

The objective of CurlSistas.com is to celebrate natural hair beauties by getting to know them on a deeper level, what’s her passion, what makes her smile? In this space we also lend valuable tips and tricks to let your beauty shine through, weather it’s with a hot new product, accessory or fashion find.
