I came up with a different way to do an updo yesterday while washing my hair. I still have to perfect it so I'll show ya the back once I "get it" but for now in the front at least, I'm channeling my inner Frida today! What style! :)
About Me
- The Retro Natural
- The Retro Natural is the first natural hair blog dedicated to styling naturally textured hair in retro styles. This blog was created as a means to establish a virtual playground, if you will, where women with natural or highly textured hair can obtain tips and tricks when attempting to style their hair in styles mainly from the 30s, 40s and 50s. There's also a little about style, food, vintage cars, and beauty tips. Many people know me from my YouTube channel, CurlyChronicles, which was created to show how I care for my natural hair. This is an extension of that :)
I also love the style of clothing worn by those who lived way before my time and enjoy "dressing to the nines" as they say!
These photos do indeed belong to me unless stated otherwise. If you use any photos, link them back to this site or I'll kindly ask you to take them down. Thank you! Got a question for me? Email me: RetroNatural @ gmail.com

Your look came out very beautiful! I love your unique and femininely elegant style!
Haha! I'm ignorant! I saw, "Vintage Style Inspiration--Frida Kahlo" and my mind went straight to the uni-brow and mustache. Then I thought about you as Frida as Tehuana. *Sigh*
I am pleasantly delighted that you did none of the above. I think the bow is fitting and I would have never thought to try that. It's lovely. Did you braid you hair also?
I really like this. The ribbon/bow is vibrant ....it'll be a nice look to try.
@ Noni and Tiffony, thank you! I feel ultra feminime and ultra bright today! :)
@ Erika LOL you know, I almost included a note that said, I decided against a unibrow and stache but I figured people would eventually see lol I didn't braid my hair because it was quite poofy..I should have last night but I'm gonna look for a Frida hair guide :) I'll show the results when I figure that part out though!
This is so cute, think I will try and recreate it, I always tend to wear my hair down, very dull I know!
@ Hannah, I use to always wear my hair down too, but surprisingly I've been enjoying having it up more often, it's never to late to give it a whirl! :)
I love Frida! She's such an inspiration!!! Such a strong woman.
