With video: African-American women find beauty, liberation and business opportunities in the coils of their hair - Detroit Free Press
Pregnancy motivated Gwen Jimmere to stop using chemicals to straighten her thick, curly hair.
"I was pregnant and I knew anything I put on my body goes to the baby," says Jimmere, 29, of Canton.

She had tried wearing her hair without a chemical straightener a decade earlier. But the fervor for the afros of the '60s and '70s was long over, and there was little information or encouragement on how to pull off a natural style.
Most black women, like Jimmere, were perming, hot-pressing or flat-ironing their kinky, curly hair. Straight hair -- better still, long straight hair -- was the way to fit in, the way to be pretty and conform to the standard of American beauty.
Fast-forward to 2011 when Jimmere chose to set her own standard by rocking her hair in all its natural glory. This go-round, she found an abundance of support -- meet-ups of women wearing natural hairstyles, books on natural hair care, celebrities talking about their stylish, natural dos.
But perhaps the biggest signifier of the current natural hair movement is found online. A community of women created a virtual pulpit for natural hair that includes social forums, video instructions, tutorials, product websites and personal testimonies.
It's not that black women aren't straightening their hair -- most still do. But a growing number of women of all ages are finding beauty, acceptance, liberation and business opportunities in wearing natural hairstyles like braids, locks, twists, knots, afros and various creations in-between.
"Women are sharing information on Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, everywhere. It's endless," says Espy Thomas, 31, of Detroit, who with her sister Jennifer, 29, hosts periodic natural hair meet-ups that attract hundreds of women.
"More and more black women are opting to wear their natural hair and discontinue use of relaxers," says a 2011 Mintel report showing that from 2006 to 2011, the sales of relaxer kits dropped 17% to $38 million. The trend is "expected to continue," the report states.
Mintel is a global market research company. A consumer study it conducted showed that the percentage of black women who said they wore their hair natural jumped from 26% in 2010 to 36% in 2011.
"The shift from relaxed to natural is becoming so common that it has spurred growth of a whole new subsegment of products for women who are 'transitioning,' with products that minimize breakage as hair transitions from chemically straightened to curly or kinky," the report states.
It's also a booming business, says Sue Silva, marketing director for the Sofn'free, a hair care line. "Everybody in the business is starting to manufacturer a curly line," she says. And not just for African-American women.
"Our target is 70% African American and 30% other. A lot of other women -- Jewish, Latina and redheads who tend to have coarse, wiry, coiled textured hair -- are interested in these products. Caucasian women have curly hair, too."
She noted that Target, one of the nation's largest retailers, now has a section devoted to natural hair products in most of its stores. And several of those products are produced by companies owned by black women, including Miss Jessie's and Taliah Waajid.
Sharon Madison, president and CEO of the engineering firm Madison, Madison International in Detroit, went natural after chemicals made her hair weak and caused it to break off nearly 15 years ago.
"I wanted to symbolize that whether or not you're in business, in the arts, whatever your field, you can be yourself, and we have beautiful hair," Madison says.
Much to her surprise, people in the corporate and civic circles she frequents complimented her hair.
"I think the issue is for us to embrace ourselves and recognize our own beauty," says Madison, 58.
She knew she'd made the right decision when she got a treasured compliment a few years ago at a gala of the Friends of African and African-American Art at the Detroit Institute of the Arts.
"Sidney Poitier told me my hair was gorgeous," Madison says.
Women are going natural for many reasons, including the desire to live a healthier lifestyle in general, growing pride and appreciation for one's own hair, more celebs -- Viola Davis at the Oscars and Solange Knowles at the Met Ball in New York City -- signaling that natural hair is in and beautiful.
There's also more variety and creativity in styles, says Mo Williams, who works in a barber and beauty salon where she's the only natural stylist.
"More people see it can be funky or appealing even in the corporate world," says Williams, 24, who works at Little Willie's Hair Salon in northwest Detroit. "People no longer think you have to have hair straight or laid down to be attractive."
Several women also say natural hair allows black women to be more physically active. Moisture from sweat, rain or pool water can cause some black women's straight hair to bunch up or tightly curl, requiring extra time to restyle.
"I can go the gym, I can get in the pool and not be concerned about my hair," says Jennifer Thomas, cofounder with her sister of the Detroit meet-ups. "I don't have to run from the water when it rains."
Whatever the reason, women say they experience a sense of liberation after going natural.
"It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt free," says Jahzara Swyer, 30, of Detroit who has been wearing natural styles for 12 years. Her daughter, Naja, 6, and son, Menelik, 9, wear locks.
"I just couldn't take the pressure of maintaining my roots, always getting a perm to make sure my edges were perfectly straight. I needed to be me."
More Details: Many different looks
Two-strand twists: Intertwines two sections of hair to form loose twisted strands.
Cornrows: Braids that lay on the scalp and that are designed to form various shapes.
Twist-out: Styles created by simply untwisting strands or unbraiding hair.
Natural: Afros of various shapes and sizes.
Locks: Coiled, rope-like strands of hair of various thickness and length, created in various ways including allowing strands to form naturally by simply leaving the hair alone after washing, rubbing pieces of hair in the palm of the hand or using styling implements.
Sisterlocks: Super-thin, uniform, rope-like locks formed with a crochet-like needle. They can be styled many different ways.

Video 010:- How To Buy A Franchise Business by Getaheadinbusiness.com
John Edmonds is a self-professed "Opportunity Exploiter" who has helped build numerous successful national businesses from scratch; several with millions of pounds/dollars turnover per annum. As John freely admits today, "If I've got a fault, it has been getting wrapped up in the passion and enthusiasm of business-building rather than take care of my own personal interests."
John's career started in the late 1960s, when in a period of just two years, he helped create one of the UK's first supermarket chains SupaSave in direct competition to the new Tesco supermarkets of that era. Shortly after that, John and his family emigrated to Australia.
Between 1971 and 1984, John was a founder member of the team who started and built the first 100 JeansWest stores in Australia; now the world's most successful casual clothing retail business with over 2,200 stores across Australasia.
In 1985, John took the idea in a friend's head about a heat-shrink plastic product that would protect the stiletto heels of ladies shoes and turned it into a product in national Australian high street stores within six months.
Between 1985 and 1987, John got involved with a team of electronic technicians which went from a back street electronic research laboratory, to an internationally recognised state-of-the-art artificial intelligence company with solid-state non-volatile memory. (meaning you don't lose computer memory when the power shuts off.)
Between 1986 and 1988, John helped transform the Stirling's Department store chain from consistent losses to ongoing sustainable profitability by greatly enhancing their customer service methods and product merchandising methodologies.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, John joined the Perth Zoo in Western Australia, and helped transform it from an unfashionable place that exhibits animals, to a thriving "Steward of Endangered Species" one of the world's most visited zoos per capita of population as a world leader in protecting many endangered species, including the orang utan.
From 1991 to 1995, John joined forces with the founder of JeansWest mentioned earlier, as a director of Lotus Retail Solutions. Just one of the many successful achievements was turning around an ailing national retail chain called Purely Australian owned by one of the world's largest companies, The Victoria Company of Japan, from loss to sustained profitability simply by adopting unique retail methods unheard of at that time.
In 1996, John was invited to work in Sweden for one of Europe's largest language companies to help build their English Language Business Skills programmes. Within two years, John was voted their top business development manager and Lecturer in English business skills, interculture, and presentation skills.
In 1998, John returned to the UK after 27 years of being abroad, and secured a position as the National Operations Manager for the UK's second-largest 24 hour emergency glazing company in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. He made immediate impacts on sales side of the business and their 24 hour help-desk team.
In 2000, John then joined the University of Huddersfield to build and manage a business incubation (business start-up) programme. At the pinnacle of his career, John personally helped start up and mentor over 250 businesses during this period, at an officially recorded 80% success/survival rate against a national backdrop of an 80% failure rate for business start-ups in the UK and world-wide. At least five of these businesses now have multi-million pound turnovers.
In 2008, and aged 59, John decided to start a business for himself for the first time in his life. He has started two businesses, one called Timetrapper Video Productions which exploits John's digital video hobby, and the other called Getaheadinbusiness. The latter will shortly launch in mid 2012 as an international subscription website with up to 250 short videos of John providing unique insights into how to start and build a successful business from scratch.
Today, John lives in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and is married to Vivien, and has a son and daughter who both run their own respective businesses in Spain and America. Craig runs an web development and SEO business and The Marbella Guide in Spain, whilst Gayle owns a Virtual Office service in Georgia, USA.
