All Black Women Will Have Natural Hair In A Decade?

[WynterLioness]

Love your vid. I think the fact that we have the internet where we can see other women with natural hair--that are proud of it--also is a reason why more women will go natural. My hair hass been perm-free for about 11 yrs and I'm loving my fro'. I can't wait til it gets longer like these two women I've seen with puffy, shoulder length hair.

@WynterLioness Eleven years? I wonder what your experience was like? Please post up growth photos! I can't wait for shoulder length, because I can do larger twist outs. I have 5 inches now, but it's so thick and it shrinks.

@AnnNoire I stopped perming my hair when I was 15-16yrs old, then grew locs, and now I have an afro. I'll see if I can find pics. Your hair looks a lot longer here. Looks good and I agree that we can do more styles. Yeah, the shrinking thing can be irritating. The only way I manage is to either twist/braid or put it in a clip right away after washing. What kind of shampoo do you use?

[AnnNoire]

@WynterLioness I was transitioning when I did this video (14 inches relaxed hair.) Then, I used Elasta QP Conditioning Creme Shampoo. Now, I alternate between Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Shampoo, or watered down Kinky Curly Come Clean.

@MissLaLa2013 LOL It's possible. We just did the same thing with different textures. I just washed my hair, added leave in, and let it air dry. I slapped on 3 headbands, and I have a curly TWA puff. I BC'd yesterday. So, both of us washed and go with no problem.

@MissLaLa2013 We all have freedom of choice. But if we were trained to deal with our natural born curls, words like "unmanageable" wouldn't be in our vocabulary because we'd treat our hair like curly hair instead of approaching it from a relaxed mindset. If I approached my natural/transitioning hair from a relaxed mindset, I'd give up. Natural hair care is easier than relaxed in my transition because I've been trained to treat my whole hair as natural. So it's more of perception.

[anewmeePassion]

i think that they will

[AnnNoire]

@anewmeePassion I think the green movement has more problem to topple the relaxers than the natural hair movement. Black women are leaving their relaxers, but the "anti-chemical" movement is either making companies more crafty or making consumers look for other options.

[AnnNoire]

@AnnNoire Oops...I meant the green movement has more "power" to topple relaxers...sorry for that typo!

my mom went natural about 3 years ago but she keeps her hair in braided extensions and wigs. I'm so far nearly 4 months post relaxer. :)

[AnnNoire]

@musicbutterfly07 Oh, cool! 

[musicbutterfly07]

Ran out of characters :/. I think another reason is more and more women are curious (girls like me who had relaxer at 4 years old) as to how they looked before they got a relaxer and what it would be like now. Other women are trying to find themselves and be the person God designed them to be. :D x.

@musicbutterfly07 You and I have something in common. We have affected our moms, and have the same curiosity. But, at least they got a chance to experience the "afro" era. My mom is transitioning too, and she's cut more of her relaxed hair than I have

[musicbutterfly07]

*claps* !! You basically covered all bases, I wouldn't have said it better :D.

Totally agreed. This afternoon I was calling my mom (I'm 18 at college overseas) and I told her some of the stuff I've learnt about relaxers, pH balance, natural products that I've learnt from many youtubers, tumblr, hair forums. She was soo intrigued she said she'd be so happy if I shared more information with her and tried stuff on her hair when I go back home on holiday. :D
