About my Blog son

Okay, so I'm no professional blogger but, i think I'm pretty freaking interesting, sike. But for real I find cool shit on the interweb everyday now i can have it all in one place, right alongside the randomness that is my life... Be forewarned there will be an excessive amount of profanity at times, that's just how I feel

Mes Cheveux

Anyone that knows me knows that my hair is not one of my main focuses in life, I mean most often it's in a slicked back curly ponytail that becomes a fuzzball by the end of the day which is fine with me, I'm not too vain in that aspect... As of late I have begun to take better care of my hair thanx to youtube and the wonderful women therein... But the wonderful world of college has opened my eyes to peoples opinions on Black women wearing their naturally curly hair without a relaxer (perm) or texturizer of some sort... In the land of the clones aka my school I see a few naturals but the overwhelming majority of the females I encounter during my day are relaxed... I have no issue with relaxed hair, my two oldest sisters are relaxed, but I take issue with people, male and female that poke fun at women who chose to wear their hair the way it grows out of their heads... I can't tell you how many times I've heard ignorant people say, not everyone can wear their hair natural or that it doesn't look right on everyone, I find it fascinating that people think that others don't look "right" the way they were born... Most of the flack naturals get is from people that have no idea what their own hair looks like because they've abandoned it for brightly colored heads of other peoples hair, or tresses damaged beyond repair or keep it low cut and "neat" so they don't have to deal with it... I am in no way shape or form a "Natural Nazi" condemning anything that isn't within my definition of natural... I just feel that people need to wake up and realize where these preferences and beauty aesthetics come from, mostly other ethnicities... And men need to realized that most of the bullshit women put themselves through is to attract them and most claim to adamantly abhor wigs and weaves but favor the fake rather than be caught dead with a women rocking her naturally kinky, curly nappy hair... My male followers please let me know what the deal is... Just some food for thought... BTW Good hair does not exist however damaged and conversely well cared for hair do exists which one do you have?
