I saw this on Naturallycurly (thanks Ellie Pixie) and just shook my head till it almost popped off LOL This is so ignorant. To think a college student wrote this hot mess of an article.... SMDH I hope it doesn't discourage anyone from going natural

Natural Hair and Nappy Heads
By Kamilah Blackston -- Black College Wire
I wholeheartedly believe that the natural hair craze is becoming a trend if it is not one already. In the same way that many females follow and copy Rihanna's hairstyles and Nicki Minaj's pink lips, this is the same path that the natural hair trend is following.
Everybody cannot wear short hair. Everybody does not look good with bright pink lips. Only a handful of females can pull off a short hair cut, let alone natural hair.
Unfortunately, if you are one of those few, there are hardly any hair stylists in Greensboro that actually know what they are doing.
A lot of girls stray from who they are by trying to be like other people. If we all did the same thing, nobody would be different and I feel it is safe to say that a lot of girls on this campus are starting to look just alike.
Women need to find out what looks good on them and what does not.
If your head is bigger than your body, short hair might not be the way to go. If your hair is dry, brittle, and extremely nappy, natural hair is just not for you.
A lot of girls need a wakeup call. Some girls might just have to resort to a perm if the texture of their hair is not too pretty. If you know your hair does not grow, you might want to consider getting a sew-in and keeping one.
We all try to be queens and some people feel like going natural is getting back in touch with your roots. However, if you are looking more like a slave than a queen, you might want to take a trip to the beauty supply store and get some perm or weave.
This natural hair trend is getting out of control. I hate that girls walk around thinking that natural bush is fly when it is not. Ladies, please go do something to that head because that bush is making you look foolish.
Regardless of what guys may say about females' hair, or what looks good on somebody else does not necessarily mean it looks good on you. The sooner women realize what looks good on them and what does not, the better off they will be.
Maybe after reading this, some people will take this advice as constructive criticism and get their life together.
As for the males who have something to say about every aspect of a female's appearance, do not think you are so GQ that you can't use some tips. I can go on (about) scruff, unkempt hairlines, and dusty locs all day. Some of you need to get your lives together as well.
Natural hair looks good on some people, but everybody cannot pull it off!
Individuality is what makes people interesting, but lately the only thing interesting about many girls is that mess on their heads.
