SexyFox: 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. 7 Likes |

Caracta: When it comes to hair, people have a right to choose what they do with theirs But the issue with relaxed hair is entirely different, to MOST black women it is more than a choice, it is psychological #FACT# https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m-4qxz08So https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrJamE_hcck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cv0ji7LumI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz8av9MBUok |

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. 4 Likes |

Whatever our black sisters do with/to their hair, whatever it is the reason for their choices, they should please remember there is an 'epidemic' of TRACTION ALOPECIA (google is your friend) in the black women community, and that can be very difficult to treat. 'Nuff said! |

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.naturalistas rock!!!! |

The unnatural hair syndrome is not really an inferiority complex issue - more of neo-colonization. We've been sold to sneer at what belongs to us and accept the white ways to be the ultimate way. Pick up any popular Nigerian fashion magazine, hardly will you find support for "natural hair". Most of their articles are primed into turning African women into Caucasian. Check out TV, movies or any media; the subtle message is always there... White ways are the best. Anything African is dirty and unacceptable. What these people don't understand is that people will accept you if you accept yourself. You are created perfect originally even if you don't see it. Example is Lupita Nyong. She graces the cover of Vogue in her natural hair! I recall many white commenting; "This is one beautiful woman" on a picture of her on Vogue's Facebook page. Until Africans realize we are a unique race and not just God's mistake, and start taking pride in what is ours, we'll always be relegated to the back in the affairs of this world. 7 Likes |

Caracta: I don't wear my hair natural because the Nigerian weather isn't good on it. It breaks easily and hurts. Our weather is not damaging to our hair, this is like saying the weather in Europe is damaging to Caucasian hair. The solution lies in good hair regimen. Cold weather is damaging to all hair types #FACT# 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. Basically your natural hair is ugly and untidy, it needs to be straightened to look tidy and cute. Your response is typical answer you get from a racist Caucasian Within four to five years of good hair care regimen like the above your hair should be exactly like this or even longer [img]http://hairscapades.files./2012/02/img_20391.jpg[/img] [img]http://3.bp..com/_CHQ_Kq9bMIc/S3I7v6JDCyI/AAAAAAAAFzA/pVofteFrEt4/s1600-h/nikki1.JPG [/img] [img]http://1.bp..com/-5XrWs64ppso/U_Y2Ra2IBjI/AAAAAAAAEoc/kxVblZIYLIo/s1600/mantabolism1.jpg[/img] http://blackgirllonghair.com/2014/08/will-naptural85s-25-minute-co-wash-and-detangle-method-work-on-waist-length-4c-hair/ Do you know what they all have in common?

Idowuogbo: I have been natural from 2003, honestly speaking, comparing to when I was not natural, I don't get woman when they say natural is expensive. The only expensive part I felt is when I was starting my dreadlocks, but not my nappy hair. Its somehow a big fat lie. Its just that you have to visit the salon constantly to wash your hair. Which when you are not natural you don't wash your hair that often. So somehow unnatural is unhygienic. A human being needs to wash their hair at least once a week. So I don't think we should celebrate lack of hygiene to justify why we go unnatural. Rather we use another excuse. Though I am not saying people should go natural because I am natural UNNATURAL HAIR IS UNHYGIENIC 4 Likes |
