Natural Hair vs. Relaxed hair ....What are we Gangs Now??


NATURAL VS. RELAXED HAIR (What are we gangs now)
So for all who didn't know my hair is natural and has been for alittle over 10 months now. Natural hair meaning my hair is not chemically treated for all who didn't know. Now the sole purpose of me choosing to go natural was my decision. No one influenced me, I didn't get inspired by India Arie it was my decision. Now some may say why would you choose to keep that nappy ass hair on your head or you've been getting a perm all of your life why stop now but you all know what my answer is right...IT'S MY DAMN DECISION!!!

Now my journey of being a natural has been great I love my natural hair what I don't love is people who are so ignorant to the topic of natural hair, and not just relaxed gals but also naturals. What I don't understand and never will is why do we especially as African American women form these groups between each other. I mean when I choose to go natural I didn't think I was forming some type of alliance but that's exactly how I feel. Natural vs. Relaxed I mean what are we gangs now it's foolishness. You have some people well (idiots) in my opinion who switch there hair and change the person that they originally are. I mean damn how can a natural girl say "OMG I don't even know how someone could relax there hair" when you've been relaxed almost your whole life. Or how can a relaxed girl make the argument that "Natural hair must be so hard to maintain I could never do it" when you've clearly never have tried it. This is just something that I don't and will never understand, but I do know that hair is hair and whether you choose to go natural or relax it don't change you. Hair doesn't change a person at all, inner beauty does. Just something to think about.


And STOP forming these damn groups (alliances)please lol its ridiculous!
Peace Out
