Hair, just kinda random...

Well recently, especially from being on twitter... Ive come across a lot of black women choosing to "go natural" its very interesting to me. Ive never thought of natural black hair as bad, I just thought of it as different. It has always interested me in a way. I also watched "Good Hair"-Chris Rock's doc. on black hair, products, relaxers, human hair "harvesting", synthetic hair, etc... now I always knew(thanks 2 my bestie being black and taking me w/ her to get hair and supplies as well as getting it done) from going to the beauty supply stores that, it was mostly Asians and some Arabs that were profiting from this business the most. It was always quite interesting to me because in a way I thought of it as exploitation. So after seeing "Good Hair" it was definitely confirmed! I have no issues either way on women deciding to wear their hair natural or deciding to perm/relax, get micros, weave, etc... I think hair is great in all forms on women, I do however prefer long hair(but thats not to say that women w/ short(er) arent just as beautiful) but I liked how the doc. showed how much revenue was generated from that industry, because that was probably not known to the masses. One thing I have noticed, that I dont like is that there are SOME please note I said SOME, black women who seem to kind of hate the women who are natural but they are mixed or bi/multi-racial(w/e u prefer) and have the more loose curls. I dont understand that, my daughter is 1/2 black and 1/2 white and her hair is in that category and I think her hair is gorgeous and so does pretty much everyone else. I would hate to know that "full black" girls/women would be mean or hate her just because thats what she was born with, because thats doing exactly what you were trying to get away from by going natural in the first place right?? Now I know you may be thinking oh what does this white girl know... you have a right to your own opinion, but you know what Im saying is real! Nobody asked to be born w/e race or ethnicity they are as well as being able to ask for the hair they have on their head! I think if women want to straighten(if black or other race w/ natural curls) or curl(if naturally straight or just not curly enough for them) its just their choice! My hair is naturally very, very wavy. I choose to blow it dry and flat iron it because thats what I like personally on myself! Lots of people, (friends mostly) love to see my hair when I occasionally let it airdry and let it be wavy and they tell me I should wear it like that, but I dont like it. So whatever you decide you like best for your hair, do it, love it and enjoy! Like I said, I have no problems w/ the natural movement, I love to see big hair, pretty braids, twists and nice tight dreds/locs(w/e term u prefer), all i ask is that you dont get too "high and mighty" and hate people who choose not to be natural or have some other texture naturally.
