..Ok folks, am i the only girl that really DOESN'T get this? i have 4a/b natural hair, that has never been relaxed.. ive never really gotten that you have "bad hair", comment.. ive had the "Christina you need to stop shaving your head, grow it back", or "ou need a comb" (which is generally tru, lol when i had hair i'd go out looking like i just woke up -laziness, and with some nignorant folks ive had the "black hair don't grow" comment, however once i break it down to them they generally tend to say "ohhhh" (thats usually the dudes), some of my friends even share out the tips and knowledge i give with there parents, sisters, even their aunties who are hairdressers. Don't get me wrong their have been the a few comments that have me like , but not to the extent that i have heard others talk about. And among the dudes ive noticed they just like long hair. Point blank nothing to do with good hair, bad hair. I was reading on some other forum, and you would think that the entire world has something against natural afro hair.. i am yet to be in a situation where my hair has been a problem, matter of fact i tend to get probs for my hair, the fact that i can shave it off LOW and still rock ocean drive/south beach, get hollas and get compliments from BLACK and white men and women, its never been against me getting a job (not that i know of), or doing political talks infront of the conservative party, i even wrote a article for my english language coursework on black hair. So ladies do you think that sometime we as black women have an inferiority complex when it comes to our hair, and that we take it ALOT more seriously than the rest of the world?, because i am yet to find people other than black people thinking that the world is against them because of their hair, last time i checked the world loved it, wish they had it, try to imitate it, and LOVE the fact that weare born with every texture, can rock it straight, afro, weaved, texturized, and they fact that the wind blows, its in a ponytail, but it ain't going no where. I guess i waffled on a bit, but it was just on my mind...
