I'm looking forward to the day when we stop nit-picking and trying to bring one another down and appreciate one another for who we are :)toni daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281969158239401939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618868873664984854.post-58698076458139200082012-07-23T15:12:02.923-07:002012-07-23T15:12:02.923-07:00I know this is an old blog entry but I really want...I know this is an old blog entry but I really wanted to comment: I have had similar experiences in the past with a natural hair sister demeaning my temporary decision to wear a wig. I have suffered alot of hairline hairloss due to poor braiding and at home relaxers! Wearing a wig was my way of giving my hair a chance to recover and for new growth. Its sad that a minority of misguided and insensitive sisters can make negative judgements without even looking at the bigger picture. I agree with you about choice, it is a powerful and empowering gift that we should not abuse or withdraw from others, especially amongst us as black women.If being 'natural' is limited to ones hair texture not being chemically processed then what about the makeup we wear on our faces to accentuate our looks as 'natural hair' women? Is wearing foundation, lip gloss and false eyelashes acceptable as a 'natural sister'?! There are so many double standards that its a joke. Let us just enjoy our fluffy crown of hair in its untamed natural state, wear a wig, braids or weave and still celebrate the many facets of our beauty. We are making such progress in reclaiming our identity that we dont need to allow a minority of ill informed people to hold us back. Thank you Toni for exemplifying what it is to be happy in her own skin.giftynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618868873664984854.post-91876375889955537342012-01-27T21:28:17.824-08:002012-01-27T21:28:17.824-08:00I have not chemically straigtened since 2002?

What i dont understand though, is why having "natural" hair has to mean anything? Do you know what im saying? like..."you blow dry or dye your hair so you are NOT natural" WTF? um.....i dont perm my hair...soo....LOL. Its so sad how some black women treat eachother over foolishness. --lukki7ster (subbie)Luckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564232595282807474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618868873664984854.post-41348949648197833132012-01-27T16:13:12.042-08:002012-01-27T16:13:12.042-08:00Girl...u know how I feel.

The other irony here is that if you were doing exactly what she suggested - "2 sport ur natural hair straightened then to wear a hair hat" - you would probably encounter some kind of insult / criticism / judgment from the no-heat natural nazis out there. Man, it sure can get mean out here on these natural hair "community" streets!

You are not less of a natural for wearing a straight wig. As a matter of fact you are protecting your hair when you wear wigs. People can be so closed minded!

That's pretty rude to say what she did. Every one's reason for going natural is different so she can't expect every one to think like she does.
