We love this site and the network of beautiful napptural sisters that it represents. The founder of this organization is award-winning journalist and author Linda "Mosetta" Jones, author of Nappyisms: Affirmations for Nappy Headed People and Wannabes!(available on the ANHA website). Jones would like for African Americans to reclaim the word "nappy" and wear their natural hairstyles with pride. A Nappy Hair Affair is best known for sponsoring grass roots hair grooming sessions called Hair Days.

"These are gathering where sisters come together with others who understand their natural hair care needs and their choice to embrace a style more in keeping with their culture.Hair Days, which have fostered a spirit of bonding and support, have become so popular since I held the first one at my home in May, 1998 that they are being held in several U.S. cities. We also have a Hair Day network in other countries."

Their website includes:

:: Sign up for Membership into ANHA

:: Nappy Hair Affair's video documentary On Yahoo! Broadcast

:: A Calendar of "Hair Days" around the nation

:: ANHA Merchandise

:: Nappy News

We love the spirit of www.anappyhairaffair.com. Their website is a model for others fostering love and pride in the Natural Hair lifestyle.

What do they have to say for themselves? Check out the part of the bio from their web page.

"A Nappy Hair Affair (ANHA) is about so much more than hair. It is about reclaiming and respecting our culture. We have been conditioned to hate one of our most unique characteristics-our hair in its most natural state. We have been conditioned to accept European standards of beauty and to reject our own. ANHA exists to cause a shift in such negative mindsets and promote a positive image of people of African descent. We do it through support, affirmation and education. We deliver our message in several ways: this website, product sales, programming, and through Nappy News, the quarterly online newsletter for our members"
