Is someone actually thinking that most of these "natural hair" google pics are real hair? someone even mentioned that Oprah's got "long hair" - FAIL!!!!!! That's a weave Oprah's got on in this picture here and on ALL her shows! Most of these "natural" hair pics are weaves too. Natural hair doesn't mean "hair you're born with which grows from off your head" , it means "non-synthetic weave" these days. I could walk into any shop and buy "natural hair". Google "natural hair" and what you get back are photos of "natural hair weaves"! These Google pics don't help the points made here much. |

^That's oprah natural hair though it might be showing some effects of past perming. It takes a while to restore hair to its natural state after a perm. I believe its her normal hair length because i've seen people with hair that long. Usually, it takes hairdressers a very long time to weave or thread it. @ queensmith a lot of the photos are showing some form of chemical treatment, true, but the weaving ones are just to demonstrate what a weaving looks like. Its very hard getting a picture of a weaving with natural hair online. Most girls have permed hair even in nigerian towns and cities. The beautiful girl in the black and white photo however, has 100% natural hair. |

Thank you naijangel posting those photos just proved what the opposition are saying! You google natural african hair and get back a bunch of photos that show EVERYTHING BUT!!! Not to even spk of the fact we cant compare african americans or those from the carribeans to pure africans. African hair is WEAK and cant grow long! Its pattern of growth doesnt allow it to be combed down or held in a pony! sister locks was probably a soln the immigrants came up with to tidy it up a bit. These men should think before they start running mouth! The same men that start saying 'why dont u look like the woman on tv' will be lamenting 'why isnt ur hair natural' u cant have it all mate! |

Queensmith some nigerians do have natural hair as long as oprah's, haba. I personally know people like that in nigeria, and even my grandma has that kind of hair and she's not mixed in any way. In some instances, very long hair is linked to some kind of deity, if the girl's family is a traditional one. You know how superstitious people are. However, most do not have super long hair, i agree. |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by kandiikane(m): 1:22pm On May 15, 2011 |
queensmith: Yes African hair is fragile but it does not mean it cannot grow. Hair in its natural form(off your scalp) with all the chemicals will stagnate the growth. I personally know African hair can grow because I have family members(pure Africans) back home who have naturally long hair. And I can also speak for my own hair(pure Africa) which grows but I have been cutting it and shaved it off completely not too long ago. Some of my white friends are even shocked to how quickly it grew in length. Those images on google whether weave or no weave shows the natural hair(from scalp). I have been to many hair shows and I know African hair does not just consist of "nappy, matted" hair even if you are not "fulani, east African or mixed". There are different variation of kinky hair"nappy" not every African has matted, pepper grain/corn, wiry hair or hard to do anything with hair. If African natural hair(off scalp) cannot grow why is it that men's hair when left can grow to many lengths or men and women that dreadlocks? It is because they do not use all these chemicals. If you want your natural hair to grow know how to treat it. Leave the hot irons and chemicals alone. The growth of the African hair can be done. Inked_Nerd: Yeah, I shaved it off not too london ago but it has grown. |

ekt_bear: In the SE USA, if you frequent professional hairstylists every 6 weeks, which is the recommended time for relaxing hair, and go for in-between treatments/wash and style/regular trims or cuts, the monthly cost would be a range of $80-150. I based it on my cost when I used to have a professional hairstylist perm or curl my hair. The relax/perm/cold wave treatment was approx $75, plus optional: trim/cut of $25, haircolor or tint $30, wash and set/style $40, eyebrow wax $15, conditioning treatment $15, etc. (Professional braids and weaves range $100-300+, but a typical style done by a mid-level private hairbraider working out of her home runs $75-150.) Yes, hairstylists can make a fortune. lol. For those wanting to go natural, the only way to do it is to NEVER go into a salon ever again. Many a time, after foregoing chemicals and letting my hair grow out, I'd go into a salon asking for a texturizer treatment and walk out with another FRIED hairstyle.  And, if you ask for stylish braids, almost all of them will braid your hair with synthetic hair, plus you'll get a load of "it is sooooo much easier to braid hair that is permed; can we at least use a hot (straightening) comb on your hair." lol. Leading to more breakage, meaning, you're back where you started. No wonder you don't see many black women with long hair. The logical step in the journey of reclaiming the natural state of my hair was to start with braiding (without synthetics) just the natural hair, watch it grow and treat it with conditioners and coconut oil, cutting the split ends often. Once it gets to the desired length, I hope to alternate between the braids and an afro. Hello! I've always wanted a dangerous afro like I see in 70s pictures.  Dreadlocks was another look that I like a lot but I decided against. That's beautiful. I like that. A version of the "Shuku" style we used to wear to school, before we grew up and started frying our hair. Every Saturday or Sunday before the new school week, we'd get our hair either PLAITED in the flat Yoruba hair-braiding style (kolese, shuku, etc), WEAVED, the raised braid style, or KO, with the thread, like a couple of the pictures in the Satin Sheen adv. |

i think that women are too obsessed with hair (real or fake). they spend so much time and money making hair which they don't wash for weeks. all the grease and grime in the hair make it itch and stink. most of the fake hair they wear don't even look that good, so why wear it? |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by kandiikane(m): 7:38pm On May 15, 2011 |

wetin concern me with attachment. |

I could be wrong however. fake weaves are an inevitable companion to perming. however, not all weaves look bad, regardless what some grouches are saying here. |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by kandiikane(m): 7:47pm On May 15, 2011 |
I have never had a bad weave, the max I will leave it is a month and that includes all attachments. |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by isalegan2: 8:03pm On May 15, 2011 |
tpia@: We should probably make sure people understand the difference between WEAVE (braiding) with natural hair, which is what we used to do to our hair on weekends to get ready for school. And WEAVE-IN fake hair. Words mean different things now. lol. Language is ever evolving. |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by kandiikane(m): 8:07pm On May 15, 2011 |
^^For them to understand just say braiding/cornrows and weave(sew in) to differentiate. It simpler for them that way |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by tpia5: 8:11pm On May 15, 2011 |
We should probably make sure people understand the difference between WEAVE (braiding) with natural hair, which is what we used to do to our hair on weekends to get ready for school. And WEAVE-IN fake hair. true. weaving these days refers to weave-in, or fake weave.
in nigeria, braiding means hair extensions [or hair attachments]. not sure corn rows is used at all down there- that's an american thing. |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by kandiikane(m): 8:16pm On May 15, 2011 |
tpia@:Yes that is true, where I am from there are different names to them(depending on the language) but in the uk its cornrow/braiding and weave. |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by InkedNerd(f): 8:28pm On May 15, 2011 |
ThiefOfHearts: Yes indeed. I personally hate weaves but some of the comments here are just plain idiotic. isale_gan2: Wow, you guys play a lot of money for braids in the south east. When I used to get my hair braided, it only cost me $99--for my sister who relaxers her hair, it costs only $45. You know, I don't necessarily agree with the idea of not going to a salon. You just need to find a salon that specializes in natural hair. There are tons of them here in New York. In fact, there are several that are within walking distance of my school. I've been natural most of my life. . . Just a few months ago, I cut my hair and started from scratch again just for the fun of it. The only time I go to a salon is to trim my hair. Aside from that, I can style and care for my hair. When it gets a bit longer, I'll go to a salon to get it braided since I can't really braid my own hair. I do agree though, some of these so called hair stylists always seem to have a bitċh fit when you walk into salon and ask them to style your natural hair. I remember a couple of years ago when I went to a Dominican salon not too far from my house and the idiȯts there fried my hair and constantly complained in Spanish about my hair being hard to style [which it wasn't]. There was an article on Clutch magazine about Dominican hair salons discriminating against natural hair >>> http://cocoandcreme.com/2011/05/do-dominican-salons-discriminate-against-natural-hair/ 10cirenoh: I am not a fan of weaves and no offense but who are you to tell her what she what she should or shouldn't do with her hair?  kandiikane: Yes indeed, I used to have should length natural hair up until I cut it last November  There's a Nigerian girl on Youtube who has long beautiful natural hair. Here's her Youtube channel >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEj5E3_swBY Another Nigerian with natural hair is a girl on Fotki that goes by the name of Hamira. Here'e the link to her fotki page >>> http://members.fotki.com/Delushious/about/ And there's another Nigerian girl with long natural hair down to her butt. Her name is Ayo [not the singer] but I can't remember the link to her Fotki page. Her hair is BEAUTIFUL!!! kandiikane: I totally agree. The only reason people think Africans can't grow their hair long is because they've allowed themselves to be stupidly brainwashed by all of the garbage that is used to portray Africans in a negative light. I go to natural hair meet up groups here in Brooklyn and I run into TONS of West African women who have really long and healthy hair natural hair. By the way, "Black"/ "African" hair isn't as weak as most people think it is |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by kandiikane(m): 8:31pm On May 15, 2011 |
African hair is the healthiest of hairs but it is fragile(not weak) |

Hi,SURE!!!.Am sick and tired of it and i don't understand myself sometimes when it come to this issue.You see i think our black ladies should take a close look at the white ladies,i don't think they apply attachment to their hair,thiers is natural.So,why ain't our ladies doing the same by using their own natural hairs as well.I think that will also promote our culture and Africa as well to the outside world.Instead of doing attachment stuffs |

2010Idowu (f) Just as soon as a woman goes natural, her man is Shocked at the woman with fake hair down her back. T[b]he better thing is to learn to love unconditionally, as we women do[/b], and save yourselves a heart attack of worrying about things that don't concern you. --------------------------------- - Laughter wan kill me o! |
| Re: Is Anyone Else Sick Of Hair Attachements In Our Black Ladies? by Nobody: 9:45pm On May 15, 2011 |
deasy:i feeel you man, but let me tell you, we blacks have shown the white is by far superior to us, we like what they do, e.g gay marriages, and so many stufff, we forgot bout us and took theirs, we took the bad and good but promoted mostly the bad. the white is currently superior to us, and we have acted on it, by doing what they do, we left our ways for theirs, until we stop trying to be like them, that is when we can promote our self and culture, but currently the white is superior to us and we have shown we are interior to them by takin most of their evil ways |

Donlittle:Sodomy has been about for thousands and thousand of years all around the world. The reason why they have gay marriages is because people have asked for their rights, I do not see anything wrong with that and we Africans should accept it instead of killing gay couples in Africa. We are still living in the stones ages. There is culture and there is ignorance. Many Africans have interpreted their cultures into ignorance. If the Africans are truly inferior to the Western world like you say it is not because of what the western world has achieved but because of our ignorances in such matters. Instead of doing much better than what the western world has done we are in our little holes practicing Juju. Instead of congratulating our Africans brother for achieving something we are in our holes praying for their demise. If we are still doing what we are doing we are not going to go anywhere. We can have our cultures but still strive to do better than the western world instead saying they are superior because we do what they do. No, it is because of our ignorance and greed that is why they are superior. |

queensmith: Where did i claim i was never a typical Nigerian? George_D: I once asked her why she liked packing chemicals on her hair and stuffs like that, she claimed she had to "do" her hair in order to guide against hair breakage, in the end, she's still complaining of her hair breaking, she said if she loses the "done" hair too soon, it was going to break her hair, i just don't get it, why not just wash your normal hair and have it "dressed" up without having to add more horsetail to it>? What i think is WRONG with most black African women is the complex thing, they think they are inferior to their white and mixed counterparts with long and "feminine" hair, too much of indian and western movies don corrupt their minds finish. jerseyboy: She's got no choice, i'm going to really take it up with her until she sees reasons to stop it, sometimes the hair smells and i tell her straight up, YOUR HAIR SMELLS!!!, they don't wash the damn hair for weeks, why would you not wash your hair for weeks for God's sake? are you wearing cements on your hair or what? Inked_Nerd: Because i'm her boyfriend, not just her boyfriend, someone who's planning on spending the rest of his life with her. if she's "making" her hair because others are making it that way, then that does not serve any purpose, there should be a very VALID reason why you do something, but her reason is not "valid" enough and since i'm her fiancé, i have the right to let her know what i don't appreciate in her, Now tell me, who the hell am i not to tell her what i don't fancy? When she went through primary and secondary schools without making her hair, did she die? did her hair grow short? i feel most African women are just too lazy to groom and take care of their normal hair, hence the need for artificial/fake hair. Same goes with the bra, pants, lip gloss, eye lashes, fake nails, fingers, fake fake fake stuffs everywhere you turn, WHY NOT BE YOU and let those who actually want you for you approach you? I hope you know our parents never had all these rubbish yet they still recognized and appreciated real and raw beauty? If any woman truly wants to be appreciated for who she's truly is, she should LEARN to be herself at all times, stop disappointing men with your fake ish~ |
