Let me say that there are moments, as a girl with relaxed hair, that I feel INCREDIBLY hatred toward having RELAXED hair. It happens often. It happens on almost a daily basis when I am not wearing braids or weave.

I watched them backwards but these videos are really awesome.

BTW: Where can I get the music I'm hearing? I LOVE it. It's so mellow.

When I wear my hair natural I always get compliments on how good it looks from other ethnic groups, but when it comes to black people, they have been negative thus far, unless they themselves are wearing thier own hair natural. I just ignore it and keep it pusing. I know it's all unconscience self hatred.

I didn't have support from my mother at first which was important but she told me the other day that she wants to transition to natural. She grew up in africa and had amazing natural hair till she permed it in her late 20's with something they called ghana perm LOL. She told me the healthiness and strength of her natural hair when she was younger was her motivation to transition. She also said everyone always went to the salon to get an EGG mask and her hair was always braided. Go figure lol

I think it's "crazy" that we have to have support groups, as if there is something wrong with natural hair. There aren't any support groups for people who relax their hair. We've got it all backwards. How is it that using toxic chemicals and giving people complexes about their hair, right, and choosing not to use chemicals and be natural, wrong? That just goes to show how deep this thing is. It gets under the skin...like lye.

Im loced and loving it and so does everyone around me. I never let anyone influence the many ways I have styled my hair, after all it is MY hair!

I love this! This is one of the reasons why my Queen City Naturals group exsist. To support those who need it. I can't wait for more vids.
