Whats up Sistahs!!!
This post is mainly for my sistah’s who choose to relax their natural hair! Now, off the bat, don’t get me wrong, permed hair, straight hair, relaxed hair, natural hair, it don’t make a difference to me. Do what you do, if you like it, I love it! However, I think that all black women should try to wear their natural hair texture at least once in their life. Its a shame that many black women today die without even knowing what their real hair felt like.
I have one friend who changes her hair any time she wants. One day she wears it relaxed, the next, she decides to cut it off and wear a short cropped do, the next day, she relaxes it again, but dyes it red, then the next day she is getting braids to help start some locs, then a year down the line, she cuts off the locks, relaxes her hair and gets some braids. She believes in having fun with your hair and so do I!
Nevertheless, I think it is imperative for a black woman to wear her hair natural at least once just see what she really looks like; to play, experiment and have fun with the hair that naturally grows from your scalp.
Now, I ain’t saying its easier than relaxed hair cause for me, it ain’t. But it is a lot of fun and I encourage my sistah’s to put down that relaxer and let that hair grow free and natural!
