This is why I don't get way you guys are scared to talk to females.

You're intimidated by that?!?!

sho' did. is there a contradiction i'm missing? its not like i said i find her hair attractve.

you're always talking negatively about natural hair. The natural hair you happen to find appealing requires work and manipulation.

im natural. my older daughter is natural. My younger daughter just got a weave cause shes growing out a haircut where she had the sides and the back shaved.[its growing in kind of crazy looking]

Black women are beautiful in all of our hair, natural and bought.


i do believe my younger one will go natural in the future also.

My question tho is what was the major influence for ya family to go natural. One of the hardest things to do is convince ya woman to go natural. I had to convince my girls friends first then she did it

wrong i love natural hair, love it. my gripe is with natural hair like the pic in OP--short and damaged. contrary to popular belief, most nikkas aint rejecting hair that looks like this:

Well you have to give the short and damaged hair time to get healthy

100% true, does that mean we have to be attracted to it? i doubt women would accept the same logic if it came to something like a guys weight.

 

[Ooh Marty]

Exactly nikkas don't understand that tho

 

[Blackout]

I like before and after.

Good to see women going the natural route.

Now its up to the younger gen to make sure this natural hair movement spreads.

you proved my point. those hairstyles are achieved through either braid outs or perm rod sets. Let a woman just grow out her and do nothing with it, you wouldn't like it. and short=/=damaged.

i had been semi natural [light relaxed like once a year just to knock my roots down some] for years and years.
more than 15. finally just decided not to even do that, just trimmed every month and kept it going till no chemical growth left.
i recently semi big chopped again to cut all the color out of my hair.
i always loved my hair being big and curly and not having to press or flat iron or set it.

my older daughter also just decided a couple years ago and just kept cutting relaxer out.

kudos to you for supporting your girl and her friends in their natural journey.
I really believe theres no more beautiful look.

so a braid out isn't natural now? And shea moisture can get ya shyt curly my n*gga if you do it right

now we're hitting extremes. this is about weave vs natural hair. i don't think even BW would like our hair if we just grew it out and dd nothing with it.

 

[miranda]

Her weave is cute to me, the makeup is not

Yes it is natural hair but one of the flaws I have found in the natural hair movement is usually the hairstyles that are considered acceptable are the ones that closely mimic mixed chics natural hair. You notice how you talked about using shea moisture to get it curly? Why is that? Why not dry and nappy like it naturally is?

now we're hitting extremes. this is about weave vs natural hair. i don't think even BW would like our hair if we just grew it out and dd nothing with it.

But why would we not like it is the underlying issue.
