I have to admit that a few days ago I was asked and got kinda happy. It was like two high school aged girls in the relaxer (ethnic hair care, I think) section in Walmart. I got this big grin and was like, "No, why?" Then they said it was b/c of my hair (I was wearing a BRAIDOUT in a poofy bun) so I took the time to "school" them on how I got my hair to this state and how we needed to stop thinking black women couldn't have long, thick and/or healthy hair.
I told them about low mani/low and indirect heat/ stretching and braidouts and deep conditioning. I had my own little consultation in Walmart, haha. BUT, what I most enjoyed is that they didn't question me or get that, "yea, right, I'm not doin all that," look.
I don't like being stingy. It would be wonderful to see a bunch of black women with healthy, strong heads of hair!
