There were black women with looser curls than Sarah's featured on CN and just like those women, who didn't have a problem with texture or breakage or even too-early relaxing, Sarah went on a hair journey of self-acceptance. It's not always about the hair itself, but one's own conception of her hair. Self-acceptance is important too, and plenty of mixed black women with looser curl patterns have had to navigate their hair journeys in less tangible, but no less important ways than someone like me with thick, stubborn 4C hair. I understand those who might be upset with this for more political/historical reasons, but natural hair journeys are individual journeys, and as long as we stick together and continue to build ourselves up, while creating a positive and enriching environment for present and future black women, it won't matter what others are doing.
