Yes, It’s Possible To Have Relaxed Hair That’s Strong — I’m Proof

I couldn’t tell you what my natural hair looks like, even if I tried (I imagine it would be coily and tight, coarse and thick). And I couldn’t tell you how to even begin to manage my natural hair, even if I tried.

How My Locs Journey Taught Me To Treat My Hair (And Myself) Better

As a little Dominican girl, I envied long, flowing hair — my mother’s and aunt’s beautiful soft wavy hair as well as my sister’s thick curls. I had kinkier, tighter coils that I wished were more manageable to untangle and style. At 9, I got my first relaxer for school pictures. As the white creamy mixture sat atop my virgin hair, the tingling sensation of my scalp signified the end of my childhood with kinky hair and the beginning of my life’s...

Sleep deprivation benefited our ancestors, yet harms us now — but staying fit may help us cope

Humans need less sleep than our closest evolutionary relatives. However, we often sleep less than we need. Needing less sleep is a consequence of our ancestors’ choices to remain awake longer — a behaviour that led to evolutionary benefits.

Our research, however, finds that fitness...
