Are you passionate about your Natural?
Do sistas with Relaxed or Straight hair annoy you?
Watch out you may be labeled a "Natural Hair Nazi". On my weekly search of the natural hair culture I found this interesting label for people who wear their hair natural and are considered over the top with it. Some of us that are fussy about our natural hair products, but will go out and down a burger, fries and don't forget the shake... oh, gotta have the shake. You know some people consider them half natural.
Is this a fair assessment of people who are enthusiastic about sharing there natural hair journey? We are bombarded with relaxed or straight hair images...everywhere. We even have silly people going on tv shows commenting that natural hair does not look good, is not presentable in certain arenas, and is rebellious. To go against the grain, don't you have to make a stand?
No one wants to be attacked about the choices they make, especially about their hair.
But we have to ask ourselves a few questions, is my hair healthy?, does it represent the true me?, and do the images I see in the media influence my view of my hair?
What ever your decision... be real, be true, love YOUR hair. And I guess give the straight hairs a break...
