These women who blindly defend the use of chemical straightners and weaves know best the damage these things do to their hair. Yet they persist in their denial! I tell them, invest in a good wig- because that the route you're headed. A life time of constant chemicals or phony hair tugging at your scalp. Our poor little girls are subject to the hair abuse now. "baby perms" and weaves for toddlers? Invest all that money into some books-put something inside their heads rather than on top of it.
i think their hair r just gorgeous and beautiful and i hav black straight silky hair and i love looking lik a girl from sub continent i hav no problem i don wanna b black or white i wanna stay light brown forever appriciate wt u hav...
Black women NEVER had issue w/their hair until SLAVERY. All of this obsession w/looks stems from white supremacy where slave masters exercised an OUTRAGEOUS familiarity w/blacks measuring their noses, critiquing their hair and other body parts. Just because slavery is officially over in USA does not mean that the PLANTATION MENTALITY has stopped. It has influenced blacks 2 much! It's a poison that whites spread like in the '60s when they shut down the black is beautiful movement and Afros. Shame
@2dasimmons The "Black is beautiful" movement began in the late 1960s and flourished through the 1970s (a decade of "do your own thing" and aesthetics of "go natural" and/or peacock flamboyantly, fauvistically psychedelically fantastic) . . .until its message had spread coast to coast and globally and been accepted by most of the post-dinosaur generation. And continues through today -- for example, in the far greater numbers of blacks as models, on tv, in films & all media, & in White House.
And in the 1970s the Afro flourished (as on the supergroup The Jackson Five, Soul Train, Lionel in All in the Family, film siren Pam Grier, & in real life). And in the '70s film "10" white beauty Bo Derek iconically Jamaican cornrowed her blond hair & spread that style over racial lines. Ultimately, '70s fashion flamboyance that expressed proud individual personality was displaced when Reagan became president in '81, we had a recession in '82 and most USA "went corporate," to rigid suits.
@JudgeJulieLit One can always rationalize the resistance to Afros , but when it comes to corporate America and society in general I have experienced that it's as comedian Paul Mooney says: "when the hair is nappy, the white folks ain't happy." We had a wonderful TV anchor who sported an afro in the early '70s and she was forced to wear her hair relaxed and even discouraged from wearing braids like the style Bo Derek wore in "10". Black remains beautiful, but the resistance/censure persists 2day.
@Chantayful Black women have always been known for hair fashion which is why we have the fabulous braided and plaited styles in addition to the various Afro styles, all originating in Africa. So suggesting black women "probably never did their hair before slavery" doesn't make much sense to me. Shalom.
@2dasimmons no Im not sayin that they never brushed it lol that must of sounded wrong :/ im sayin that they were taken from Africa where they didn't do much styles other than the afro if any... dnt forget slavery was a long time ago
@Chantayful Sorry, Chantayful, you are in error. Africa has always been the land of hairstyles, even elaborate ones, UNTIL European invasion and subsequent enslavement where survival became the priority. The Euro/Western invsion dropped a bomb on everyone and everything; it is THE bullet that keeps on killing, but not for much longer as the Creator continues to eliminate white supremacy from his universe. Slavery in USA ended in 1865, but the plantation mentality remains.
@2dasimmons Okay then, but I'd like to point out that It's not slavery that has drawn these women to weaves, although in some way it could be argued, but it is just image in general. I am black and with a weave I felt more confidence in my appearance and also: i didn't have to force a comb through my afro every morning lol. Women wear weaves, extensions etc. for different reasons, for some women it may be the "Plantation mentality", but for most of them its not. Blame the media, not slavery
@Chantayful The media IS slavery. If you research media ownership, you'll find the slave-master/plantation mentality. And it has worked: today's young black women are obsessed with straight hair, weaves, body size, skin color, etc. All of this focus was the domain of slave master/white supremacists who equate looks with entitlement. Of course all this looks obsession started with lucifer, the light/bright VAIN angel. As above so below. The focus on looks 2day is incredibly luciferic. Shalom.
@2dasimmons White women are obsessed with hair, body size and skin colour as well; hence hours on sun beds for a tan etc. Don't blame slavery for everything thats wrong with the world, because without it black people wouldn't have the same heritage to proud of and we wouldn't be in places like America and England for sure.
@hoodafff I don't know what world you're living in, but I don't know any black person that wants to be white. The issue with black women and hair is more of a problem for other people than the black women. Black women are not the only people using artificial enhancements. Where I live there are tanning salons in every shopping center, It sure isn't the black woman or black people for that matter using the services. I am black and proud; Wouldn't change. Most black people feel the same way.
