SexyFox:
Natural hair care is cheaper. I am guessing you went for very expensive product. I use petal conditional, olive oil, once in a while I use mayonase. And my hair soft.

nenergy: Braids and weaves are nice. Wigs and weave-on are just nasty. Even my mother doesn't use them, so why should a lady do?

Idowuogbo:
Trust me, its stressful going natural. I tried the whole natural thing this year, bloody expensive.

Caracta: I don't wear my hair natural because the Nigerian weather isn't good on it. It breaks easily and hurts.

Most Importantly, I CHOOSE to go un-natural because I look tidy and cute when I get my hair done. I don't need to go everywhere with a comb or brush. Its economical and weather-friendly...attractive, protective and easy to maintain. It's not healthy to have your hair unprotected at all times, especially in seasons of Harmattan.

If it's about slave mentality, then why wear clothes and shoes? Afterall, your ancestors never had designer shirts and shoes. 10000 likes for you caracta. Please be my friend. I overlike u. #no homo#

All dis chemical ish. All dose conditioner and de rest of the tinz d naturalista rub. No be chemical dey inside.

Give it a rest already

Whoever hates it should humbly take a dive into the Mediterranean sea

xp17: you haven't convinced me though. If the weather is not friendly, you can make it like amber's hair

Btw, I'm a diehard fan of natural hair.

iamlola:

This conditioner you use, is it not made from chemical too? You and the person using relaxer are not much different; both are chemicals, just that one is harsher than the other.

Caracta:

You have a point. Inasmuch as I don't use false nails, false lashes or false booobs, I strongly believe everyone should be allowed to choose freely. We all ain't the same and I hate to call people names or tag them because they don't believe in what I believe in. Come on, we really can't be the same!

Many Nigerians are hypocritical. If you want to promote your culture, wear your traditional attire to the office or for interviews. Or do we all suffer from low self-esteem?

Don't just pick the part that suits you. Be faithful in all African culture rules. I mean ALL.

mrvocalprowess: do u wear suits? do u use toothbrush(instead of African chewing stick)?, do u eat American food? isn't dat inferiority too? ooo,i knw - u are a man

nenergy:
When you convince yourself that you're NOT complete without an appendage then it becomes a problem. Sewing someone else's hair (Human hair) to yours so you can feel like a human is just sad!

I wear suits, I eat pies and brush with toothbrush... but I don't need them to feel good about myself.

sweetyEse: #Teamnaturalhairbabes.

mrvocalprowess: most men in dis thread are intimidated by women, real men are not intimidated by such,work on ur ego's chauvinist males of Nairaland, yall smell of inferiority complex,dats y most of u cant marry successful women but wud stick to d village/local girls who aint exposed because u can easily change her views.. big ups to caracta ,i see a future chimamanda adichie

Danrizzle: What is this one saying?

Caracta:

Had to check your profile pic. You are too natural! How do you do it? Pls teach me na

oge4real: I will only give a serious response if Mr OP can honestly post pics of the women in his life to prove they are natural.
Some of these men preach natural yet they never take a second glance at women rocking their fro. They are automatically relegated as "bush girls" while the chemically relaxed, weave- wearing ladies are acclaimed "clean, smart, well groomed and hot babes".
Classic case of hypocrisy.

royalsweetness: I have my natural hair, unrelaxed, yet I refuse to understand people who won't let other people wear their hair the way they need to wear them. Even with all the products, most styles for natural hair would take atleast 3 hours to pull off, and do not last more than two days till you have to style it again (4c hair). If u wanna take a bantu knot out to work, you have to spend hours knotting it the night before, sleep with it, then unknot in the morning b4 work. Not everyone has that kinda time... Having said that, I still think the reason most Nigerian girls don't wear their natural hair is because they don't even know their natural hair. Most times our mothers relax it before we are old enough to know it, then they make you hate undergrowth so much that u can't even imagine your whole hair as undergrowth. I believe every girl should experiment with their natural hair (especially if your mum relaxed it as a kid), most times you end up falling in love with it despite how difficult it can be. But if as a grown woman, you've ever tried the natural hair thing and it just doesn't suit your lifestyle, then please rock on that weave or whatever rocks your boat.

mrvocalprowess: wat are we talking about here? so u tink women do it to feel good bout demselves!!! hun?

Danrizzle: You're a girl.. Know that we all know.

pDude:

B!tch, why do you all say this same shyt? So which hair is not difficult to manage? Ethiopian ladies have thick, stubborn, coarse, long hair yet they don't wear weaves. They wear their God given shyt.


Your defense is bollocks
