True,true.
People will be people though.Everyone isnt going to respect or understand anothers choice(s) and thats fine.
I respect peoples choices.Passing judgement wont make them go slap a perm on there head, just like you passing judgement won't persuade me to go natural.So at the end of the day,theres no point in passing judgement.
Relaxed heads are the hair majority so if naturals want to rally around smthg every once in a while, I support it. I think it's great! Natural hair can be very beautiful and we all have it if when retouch time comes around. 
I just think that if someone is spreading untruths or misconceptions about relaxed or natural hair, then we should correct them. I think that we can all agree about that. 
erplexed Back to NP - I guess.
A hair minority or subordinate group is a group of people whose hair does not constitute a dominant plurality of the total population of a given hair society. A hair minority is not necessarily a numerical minority — it may include any group with a hair type that is disadvantaged with respect to a dominant hair group in terms of hair products, hair education, employment, access to stylists who know how to take care of ur hair, and/or general acceptance of your hair by society. To avoid confusion, some people may prefer the terms "subordinate hair group" and "dominant hair group" rather than "hair minority" and "hair majority".
But, I think that regardless of your hair orientation, all hair types should be treated equally.
When I first discovered hairboards I found more than a couple for naturals but lhcf was the only one that dealt with the care of relaxed heads in a way I could both agree with and could learn more from. So I really can't imagine where a relaxed head would go to if lhcf suddenly became more dominantly natural. 
), anyway, how bout their lacefront forum and then the weave extension forum exceeds the hair growth forum and others in posts and threads by far. I'm talking by thousands erplexed.
I know this is kinda random but, at least over here we have our eyes on the prize which is our hair. Relaxed or natural.
I visited another hair board (which I won't name, but yall ain't slow
Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with a good weave, shoot I got one in right now. But my eyes are fixed on the real prize.

^^Yall are laughin, but I was very sad at first.I mean we you have the knowledge now, why my sisters why
Of crouse we know that's not true.
I'm natural and I prefer to use natural and homemade products - so I definitely feel like a minority. It's hard to be apart of a community where people are not interested in any of the things you want to discuss or experiment with. I feel like I am just left out of most discussion topics on this board. Speaking of which - I will probably drop out of the newbie challenge seeing as none of the posts are relevant to me.

You said it best "we have the knowledge" but I don't think you should be making fun of them because although lf's are more expensive they don't require the use of chemicals.........Please don't tell me that you don't know the harmful effects of relaxers
A lot of people here make their own products...Make your own challenge and add your own threads about the products you use and make. You'd be surprised at how similar we all really are...
Initially, I wasn't going to post a response to this thread, b/c it made me unconfortable. I'm a member of other forums, such as Nappturality, but I frequent the lhcf more often b/c I love the diversity. It seems like Black folks are always looking for way to create dissension...Permed, natural, texlaxed...can't we all just get along!
Yes.
But, I think that some naturals assume that all relaxed haired people are ignorant.After being on the LHCF for some time, I will go out on a limb and say that most of us know that natural hair is beautiful too and having relaxed hair is a choice.
Another misconception is that all relaxed hair is damaged.
And I don't think that naturals who straighten their hair every week w/heat and hardly ever if ever wears her hair in its natural state should judge a relaxed person for relaxing her hair.
I tried to make this point on another hair board b/c it seems like the sentiment over there is that if you're natural then you have all this self love. PLEASE. I know there are plenty of natural women who hate themselves and have low self esteem. Hair has nothing to do with how you view yourself and how you think feel about yourself and your worth. Nobody would bother to respond to my post on the other forum. Surprise surprise.
