I can say my view on both sides of this issue. When I was younger I loved my naturally thick hair but as I got older it became harder to maintain and my cousin who did my hair every week moved I decide to get my chest length hair cut so it would be easier for me to maintain. My mom did my hair for me up until I waa around 10 but our schedules became hectic and who has time to sit around 2 hours just to put 4 plaits on my head. I got my first just for me relaxer when I was 12 because my hair became to course to even pick through and it always grows thicker and longer in different spots. I do have to admit I did get bangs bc I was ashamed of my big forehead but I got over it. Now I just wear my hair short even thought it curls up quicker. I may grow it out and see if I can maintain the curls without a relaxer or I may even get a wave put in and see how I like it. There is just so much we can do with our hair and I think that is one of the greatest things about

Exactly…..I don’t see why us–some of us–getting weaves or keeping it real is such a big deal. It’s just hair and contrary to popular belief, many of us just like trying new things….we don’t have any deep seated hatred towards our blackness. I don’t know why **** constantly has to be so serious when WE do it…yet you have white women frying in the sun to have our skin tones……you have them buring and frying and ruining their hair to be blonde, then throwing “extensions” in, yet that’s just them being trendy..when we do it, there is this huge *** psychological reason behind it. It’s lame.
