I’ve started a database of natural hair blogs and articles about natural hair from around the world because I got a lot of emails and questions about international resources from my readers who didn’t have access to some of the products I mentioned on my blog or were struggling to care for their naturalhair. Since then, the list has grown dramatically and now features blogs from almost every continent in the world!
If you are an international blogger/vlogger or you stumble upon an article that you think should be added to the list PLEASE tell me so I can add it/them. You’re welcome to send me an email to aliceinnappyland@gmail.com or post a link in the comments.

Ladies, have we missed any blogs? What are some of your favorite international natural hair blogs?
There are a handfull of natural hair blogs in German! The two I like most are krauseLocke.de and anniversum.Wordpress.com. My German isn’t goid enough to read them yet, so i just have Google translate the sites for me. :) listed a few more in this article on my blog: http://www.tatianainflux.com/2012/01/17/natural-hair-in-germany/
LOL. I just posted krauselocke.de and didn’t notice you already did!
you live here, too? In which city do you? I live in Bonn, the former capital of Germany.
Go Deutschland! LOL I’m from Alabama (USA), but I live in Wolfsburg, my husband’s hometown. How do you like living in Bonn? And WHERE do you buy your hair products? I’m still working from my American stash. :)
Aniversum and krauselocke are great, i love them :)
And i also love China, from Germany, who even has been a Hair Icon here :)
