fayahsoul: Well, if you do what you preach, then we are on the same course l. But yes, men directly or indirectly do coax women into 'fakery'. |

Jesusculture: @Fayahsoul ,1' m so shocked by such questions from some black females . I'm also female n would expect a certain level of female awareness abt african cultural heritage n identity, its jst like someone asking why is Italian spoken in Italy duh. I really dnt hv the time to educate some people abt cultural heritage. Dnt mean to sound cliche. Ignorance is bliss Hello, don't push the blame on only 'black sisters ' your 'black brothers ' can be extremely harsh to women who wear dreads. If only that Nairaland crisis didn't happen, I would have directed you one thread for people on dreadlocks and you'll see the nasty and snide comments your 'black brothers' left behind. So... What's your say? |

@kalimera101, I understand what yu saying, however if black brothers come down or make snide comments abt people who wear dreadlocks dn they must be ignorant to put it mildly or on the positive take a history lesson. |

I'm glad we are on let's say almost the same page. All I'm saying is don't blame only the sisters. For me, I'm not a big fan of dreads cuz, I'll have to cut my hair years later if I decided to wear free hair. But dreads are lovely especially with colours. 1 Like |

fayahsoul: Mr. decisively, you are not the decision maker. Women have to be empowered to make the decision for themselves. If you really want more women to ditch weaves and artificial beauty products, encourage them to be feminists. |

^deep down inside you know that you are wrong and feminism is the main solution to this problem. Women's self worth should not be measured by their physical appearance. |

I've worn my hair natural since I was a kid. Granted, I spent most of my kid years on low cut. Lol, it was my mom's idea that I needed the time, that would otherwise have been spent styling my hair, on my books. Also, I used to yell my lungs out whenever my hair was being made as a kid. Fast forward to grown me, I stopped getting hair cuts and grew my hair. I was also determined to not conform to the western idea of "fine" hair. Every head of hair is unique and is a perfect complement to your physical and overall sense of self. I have received lots of compliments on my hair. Funny, these are usually from guys. Most girls ask why I don't get a perm or when I would get a perm. The questions are not only ignorant, but tiring. Oh, I also get asked what I would do if my hubby doesn't want natural hair. I still think that is the stupidest question of all. Hair is a pretty petty thing to base your like/dislike of a person on. Acceptance is also total. A person who loves you for you isn't concerned with such petty issues. Anyway, back to the subject. There are lots of reasons why black women may not wear their natural hair. Some have been brought up with the flawed mentality that natural hair isn't cool and they just grow up believing it and not experiencing being natural for themselves. Some are totally against the idea because they think it does not offer the sophisticated appeal that artificial hair has. Some have not learnt how to properly manage natural hair and opt for the common form of hair nearly everyone has an idea how to care for. There are lots of other reasons too. But even those who are solidly against natural hair, only show an ignorance of how amazing and unique their own natural hair may be if they learnt how to care for it. 2 Likes |

Spare me the blame where I am people laugh at girls with natural hair saying a girl is not in fashion so don't blame me if I wear my weave because my surroundings say so and I wanna feel normal and acceptable so not until people change that attitude ladies will continue to wear their brazillian |
