Some of you might have heard India Aries new song with Akon. Talking about skin but most importantly hair. She talks about her struggle as a black woman with her hair . Not being able to keep it because the world did not consider it "good hair"
Good hair is almost white hair. I don't think we came out from our mother's womb realizing that God had blessed us with the misfortune of bad hair. We learned that when media images showcased 'next to no' beauties with naturally kinky hair, we learned that it wasn't good hair when we go to both black and white hair salons and have the stylist struggle to do our hair because they just didn't learn to work it in beauty school. We learned that by realizing 99% of the products out there are not made for us. The 1% include relaxers and products to take care of relaxed hair some what. Lots of natural sistahs I run into are always hunting for a hair product that would at least work. A stylist that could give them something other than an afro. If u look at some old historical pictures of white womens hair you will realize that with each passing decade their hair became better manged, softer and more free flowing.(i don't believe in evolution) It took years of research and development to get where their hair is now. How much money is spent on developing products for the natural kinky black hair Notice how they advertise they advertise new products on infomercials. They always get the mixed race girl as if to say "Hey we made it for you too."

ive heard the song and i love it.
the part that really touched me was when she said "good hair means curls and waves, bad hair means you look like a slave"








im listening to it now

LOL
am not my hiar too

@ topic see permed hair , weaves, waves i don been through it all, i truly believe in indias song,like the song says am not my hair. right now my hair is all natural no more perms for me. in fact this summer its been boiling hot in NY and what i have on rite now is _{if you are familiar with old Nigerian hair styles} threaded hair( kiko olowu in yoruba lang)
.

if ma friends don't like the way i look they should hit the road, i wonder why we sista are always trying to conform to this hype by big companies manufacturing this hair products.
i believe people should not be judged by their hair. find what best work for you and rock it

i perm my hair. i don't give a monkeys what anyone says!

kellorah:

i perm my hair. i don't give a monkeys what anyone says!

I second that, i do whatever i like with my hair, relaxers, highlights, weave. The operative word here is "MY" "MIO".

I am not saying don't perm your hair, whites girls perm their hair, get weaves, color and also stay natural. But whatever they decide to work with they are guaranteed the most advanced innovations in hair care at their fingertips. Most of us black girls perm our hair because it easier to find people and products that can at least adequately manage our permed hair than our natural hair. Most black girls after cutting their hair(when its damaged) barely wait after 2 inches of growth to get a perm.

phew. so good to be a guy. simply scrape the darned thing off! No stress!

Pele Girls, i never had girls in my family and it was not until i started mixing with my female cousins here in the states i realised what black females go thru just to make their hair look good.
I dont think most white girls do anything to their hair, my girlfriend does nothing to hers and its silky smooth.

i love my hair because is mine
