LETTER
#CURLCOLLECTION FREEDOM IS A CONSTANT THEME IN MY LIFE AND IN THE NATURAL HAIR COMMUNITY. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE FOUND A NEW FREEDOM BY SIMPLY DECIDING TO ROCK THEIR NATURAL HAIR. HOWEVER, EVEN WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY I SEE SEPERATION AND JUDGEMENT. I’VE NOTICED AN “US” VS “THEM” ATTITUDE AKA NATURAL VS RELAXED AKA INGREDIENT CONSCIOUS VS NOT INGREDIENT CONSCIOUS AKA TYPE 3 CURL VS TYPE 4 CURL AKA COLOR treated curls VS natural Color. THESE JUDGEMENTS ARE LEADING TO A DIVISION WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. A SEPERATION WITHIN OUR NATURAL HAIR FAMILY IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. TRUTH – If SOMEONE REPS #TEAMNATURAL DOESN’T MEAN THEY ARE AGAINST ANYONE WHO ROCKS A RELAXER, WEAVE, OR HAS COLOR TREATED THEIR HAIR. IT SIMPLY MEANS THEY SUPPORT NATURAL hair. THE DECISION TO WEAR NATURAL HAIR IS INDIVIDUAL. EVERY PERSONS JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE. INSTEAD OF FINDING REASONS TO SEPARATE OURSELVES from each other, LET’S FOCUS ON WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON. LET’S UPLIFT AND EMBRACE THE WOMEN, KIDS, AND MEN IN OUR COMMUNITY.
XOXO, Nadja Renise

BEHIND THE BRAND
Shelly & asha Owners, amazing botanicals
1. Describe the amazing botanicals brand in 3 words? Garden-inspired – affordable - brilliant 2. What inspired the development of amazing botanicals? We both are chefs by trade, so making recipes came naturally. However, we always had issues finding affordable products that worked specifically for our hair issues. We got the idea to start creating blends from scratch to help appease our frustration. Since then when people asked what we've been cooking, we tell them about the products. 3. What are your go-to amazing botanicals products? The Go-Green Pomade, Black Soap Poo & Hibiscus gel. 4. What's the craziest thing someone has said about your hair? Asha: I've been told that my hair doesn't look like locs, but twists when I style it. My hair has been in locs for over 3 years and it’s always surprising to me when I hear that. 5. What's one thing people should know about you but don't? We're extreme perfectionists that always find ways to make some of our products the best they can be. 6. When you’re not working, what do you do to relax? Hanging with our family & friends. We’re both big foodies so we go out to eat often. 7. If we pushed play on your iPod, what would we hear? It can start off with a track from journey and end with something from 2chainz. Our music collection is very eclectic. 8. What can we expect to see from Curls in 2013? Expect us to be bigger and better and more available in other places. 9. Where can your products be found? Our website & selected retailers in the us and overseas – http://amazingbotanicals.bigcartel.com/retailers
