We're delighted to share with you how ferocious our guest Samantha looks in her new wig!

Samantha was so excited to rock her new look, she sent us this super sweet thank-you note, along with a shot of her working her wig.

My wig came today! OMG IT LOOKS SO GOOD. It is so scary to see myself with hair --LOL! It feels so nice and soft too. I just wanted to say another thank you. How exciting is that?! I'm so excited to wear it out today when I have a meeting. I'm sure I will turn heads.

We're sure you will too, Samantha!

Meet Curly Nikki

nikki_intro.jpg

I'm the creator of CurlyNikki.com, a site dedicated to educating folks about healthy, natural hair. CN.com features styling tips, inspirational stories, celeb interviews, and product and ingredient reviews. If you're assuming that I'm a trained cosmetologist, it'd be a good guess, but you're wrong! The only head I do is the one sitting atop my neck -- I'm a psychotherapist.

My interest in hair began when I decided to stop straightening -- revealing my real hair to the world. The negative reaction I received from family and friends was unexpected and disheartening. I was accused of "trying to fix something that wasn't broke", and sacrificing my future career! I received rude comments from peers, and one family member consistently reminded me that I needed to 'comb my hair'. Learning to love and accept the new me was difficult, and compounded by the hang-ups of those around me. I had to draw on a new source of self-esteem... the genuine kind that doesn't come from others' perceptions of me.

Easier said than done!
