African american women...do you dislike your nappy hair...are you wear it with pride?

Yes I wear my kinky hair with pride. I've been natural for 8 years now. When we were kids, we didn't know any better, our parents slapped a perm in our heads because thats what their moms did, and so on. When you grow up, you realize that Madame CJ Walker created a chemical to essentially burn the crap out of your naturally curly hair, in an attempt to be like White people because Blacks were always told how ugly they and their hair was.

This is 2008. Get the kinks out of your mind, not your hair people. God doesn't make mistakes, there is nothing wrong with your hair. If God wanted you to look White, he would have made you a White person! Stop burning it every month, thats pure insanity because perm has some of the same chemicals that are found in DRANO. Would you put Drano in your dang head?

Great quote:

When you go through all your life processing and abusing your hair so it will look like the hair of another race of people then you are making a statement and the statement is clear.

Not all of us have or refer to our hair as "nappy." But I am very proud of the hair I was given. I can't change that and neither can anyone else so why would I be bothered trying to look like something I'm not?

I don't dislike my naturally when not processed kinky/coarse hair. But my mother permed it from 18 months on and this is the hair I'm used to styling. I went naptural about 5 years back, but because I don't know how to cornrow or style my hair when in it's natural state I went back to the perm. Just my personal style preference.

Just wanna say that I looove (not in a pervert way) nappy hair.

I still find it hard to understand why women with kinky hair would relax it so often.

Occasional straightening is alright. But why (chemically) relax it too much?

I wish I saw more kinky hair, but here in the city where I've been living for over three years I've never seen it at all...
