Try wearing your hair the way God gave it you?

black women are so self-hated it's a BIG SHAME! ...you all should listen to malcom x speech " Who Taught You To Hate Yourself? "

@msgilliam1474 i think that it's a choice, but such a negative description of black hair.........gives the impression that you have some hang-up or a complex about black hair

@msgilliam1474 honey i was born with beautiful curly hair. i keep my hair moisturized and i love it. dry nappy hair happens from lack of care.

[msgilliam1474]

I get so sick of the comments about black women and their hair!!! Black women were born with nappy dry, dull hair. It wasn't a choice. If you desire to wear a certain style it has to be straighten in order to achieve that goal. ALSO wigs, and weaves are just for style. Some people need them due to hereditary hair loss and illnes from dieseases such as cancer. Look around all women of all races wear artrifical hair, but black women are condemm the most for choosing to alter their hair. SICK!!

@peeweemc88 Bullshit. Sure hair discrimination exists but you are totally exaggerating. I get compliments all the time on my hair (by black and non-black people) and me and many other natural brothers and sisters are gainfully employed.

[peeweemc88]

wearing your natural in american is not an option, white people will make it so hard for us , they already talk negative about our hair if we went natural, they will be saying things like did you stick your finger in an electric socket, making all kinds of jokes, africa this is not. if you want to keep your job, you must asimulate, and to them that means straighting your hair. easy for you to say, do you have your own business, its not about self hatred, its keep your job

@ToffeeChips19: Same here! I've been relaxing my hair on my own for the past 11 years and my hair is just as good now as it was then and I ain't bald either. Like you say, as long as you follow the directions and don't abuse them, they're great.
