Locks grow naturally long and are chemical free...
Perms break your hair therefore due to the continual breakage, hair can never grow...

Well, my hair was long with a perm. However, my change came about when i realized that i shouldn't conform to society. I spent too much money trying to make others( whites and insecure blacks) feel comfortable. America is kinda of weird like that. All of my Asian friends like my natural hair. They say I look comfortable, confident, and exotic. Who knew?LOL

@carolinathicky336 that is good... I do not like seeing mothers with locs and their daughters with perms... I be like WTF? Why would you put your daughter through what you went through, so that she can later discover that her hair is thinning and now she has to loc it up anyway at the age of 30??? SMH!

Hair is dead, follicles are whats living. I'm not easily influenced by TV. Well i do understand you're argument and agree to an extent but I just don't think a relaxer is as toxic as the very foods we eat... When you find a person who is totally organic, free of soy, processed foods, dairy, chemicals, free of medicines that are way more hurtful and poisonous then relaxers i can feel the argument. In a nutshell, that a small piece of the bigger fish i think everyone needs to "fry"

@missmo1984 Why would you perm your daughter hair? Who taught you that? You have learned that through t.v. (all media in general)... We have been systematically taught to hate ourselves... So as a result we are doing everything to oppose our natural state... Not only is the perm destroying your children hair but it is also toxic chemicals which seep into their very heads... But when you do not know better, than how can you do better... Just google /youtube dangerous perms!

@KeepitRealisrael well I am that mother....and daughters have completely different hair type than mine, very strong and her hair is thick full and beautiful, i started my lock journey few months ago, i will NOT cut her hair off because of my personal change and as far as she concerned she loves her hair. I really dont bash people choices it doesn't bother me what others decide to do, i hate seeing the natural,dread, vs relaxers....its just dead hair it will grow!

@kbediso Ok I would love to see an African comb still... Not saying that there are none or that African's do not come their hair... I would love to see the EVIDENCE :)... Any furthermore, my true African sisters always wrapped their hair anyway... Wrapping of hair was/is always a sign of modesty and humility...

[kbediso]

@KeepitRealisrael I hate to break it to you but Africans having been using combs for centuries so I dont know where your coming from and you will experience breakage if you comb your hair or not most hair sheds naturally and i highly doubt putting a comb through your hair will do much more damage
