We recently reported the uproar that occurred when Today Show Beauty expert Deepica Mutyala mutilated the natural hair of a black model during a Today segment on easy, 60 seconds summer hairstyles. The segment which featured a Black, Asian and Caucasian model caused a backlash against the beauty expert; chastising her for touting to be a hair expert yet demonstrating a lack of knowledge about natural hair.

Deepica apologized through social media for literally ruining her black model’s hair on national television, but she took things one-step further by actually taking the time to learn about natural hair through a discussion with black women about natural hair on YouTube.

I applaud her for making an effort!

    I’m a black American totally natural from birth with hair below my shoulders and I have a difficult time with dry / tending to my scalp, always. Applying anything to my scalp is very time consuming. What is your secret, what you use, how you use it, and how long it approximately? Please help
