Women can style their hair which ever way they choose. They can braid, weave, curl, flat iron and twist it. It is that womens choice of haircare. Well me being the Youtube addict that I am I came across a few videos (that are now deleted) that really show hate for other womens hairstyle choices. For an example a natural girl rambling about weaves or a girl with permed hair talking about girls who color their hair, which is very stupid to me since everyone can do as they please. Its their choice of style and expression.
Natural vs. Relaxed / Weaves. The natural women DO NOT PLAY with what they have to say. Not all women who wear natual styles feel the same way as they do and express hate againist other women like they did. Well it was a video that I first thought that talked about how un-healthy relaxers are for hair. But it was more if you have a relaxer you have self-hatred and you want to be white. Which can be true and could be not true. I have never has any type chemical treatment in my hair, though I have some friends who have them and have been since they were little girls. Most women who have these relaxers had them since a very young age because mamma was tired of combing through their thick hair. So many are just used to that hair texture and its something that they probably got routine to doing. So my opinion is that not all women but some women might put relaxers/ chemical treatments in their hair due to self-hatetred and they want to be of differernt race. Or they could be women who like having straight hair and they might be used to have relaxed hair and can't imagine it otherwise.
Relaxed vs. Natural( Afros, braids and twists). Natural women are most likely to be bullied by people. Sad but its true especially for the women out supporting the "fro". Im a girl who will wear my natural hair once in while and I know the abuse. People would say your hair is dirty or if I flip you upside down we could use you as a broom are horrible insults. For your information us natuals wash our hair a whole lot more twice a week at the least so we're not dirty. But the naturals are the ones fully being them selves with the hair god gave them and people always bash or want to look and touch which can be frustrating at times. Well I didn't see any videos with the hate aganist naturals I can most certainly point it out in a social outing or at a school or a place of buisness. I have friends who constantly will bash how nappy a womens hair would be where ever we would be or I could be with family who would think a natural head means "mad at the world". It's horrible how much people bash natural hair. Personally as a natural and a fan of natural hair I think its beautiful. Eveyone should realize some people want to explore their hair and might just like to have it natural for the sake of wearing it natural. They should have some praise in this too.
Why can't we all just get along. We all are different and thats the same with our hair texture and some way or another . So all me Weave queens and relaxed and natual sisters. We should stop calling each other names and learn that all hair is beautiful. God blessed us with hair that no one of any race has but us and we should embrace the fact that we can wear it different ways. Accept all of those ways ladies :D
