point of view on lifestyle and beauty.

An unsaid call to arms for South
Florida women to revert to their
unprocessed hair has been as on the rise
as condo developments in recent years.
In the early millennium when I came
home to visit family, I saw few natural
styles here. The hair renaissance taking
place now is breathtaking because of the
cross-section of textures. As the national
publicist in residence for Made Beautiful
scent-sational hair care for all hair types, I
engage beauty bloggers and influencers
across the country. The fusion of Black,
Caribbean, Latina and Caucasian
cultures in Miami makes beauty spotting
unlike anywhere else. A bevy of natural
hair beauty is the status quo in Brooklyn,

Miami’s 'Fro Formation

Detroit and Atlanta.
In contrast, the
flurry of
afro-textures is
more of a standout
in Miami’s near
paradise weather
and international
mix.
These local
bloggers amassed
fans of their
#bighairdontcare.
Rocking a fab
'fro is about how
it's styled and
where you wear it.
