Why is it that an African American woman's hair such a problem? We are taught as little girls that our hair is ugly, and nappy. After hearing it for so long, we then begin to want our hair to look straight. Only in America, hair is such a problem. I'm so glad this beautiful Queen took a stand and said
" NO WAY"... Black women embrace your beauty and your uniqueness. Kinky, curly or coily our hair is so beautiful and it's what we were born with. You shouldn't have to put heat on your hair and "creamy crack" on your scalp to meet the standards of " Beauty". Of course it's the white mans rule if your hair isn't straight then it isn't beautiful..... Jealous much ? This has even became and issue is the U.S Army for African American women.
How is this ugly? I refused to be brainwashed, after 25 years. I took the stand to go against the standard of so called "Beauty" and chopped off all my hair. No regrets. I love my curls and to be completely honest. I think I look better with a head full of curls. No more scalp burns from relaxers, no more of my hair breaking off. That's no way for a little girl to live. Their needs to be more role models for our daughters, there is no cartoon or disney figures of little black girls with afro puffs. Things need to change, stand up for your beauty. Black is beautiful
I love ya'll

I totally agree. There is nothing wrong with my natural hair because I was born with and I shouldn't be ashamed to wear it. But quick question: are there any ways I could go natural without having to chop off my hair? Like what can I do to go natural without the 'big chop'?
