A reply to youtube video on natural hair

Afrosmile
But don't you think that society has brainwashed you to believe that what constitute beautiful hair is straight hair.
Its been going on for too long for you to notice or realise and I totally agree with you on the aspect of hair care because it so much hard work we go for the easy option and conform to looking like everybody else.

if there were a lot more famous black women in magazines and the media with natural hair that isn't loc or twisted in some way then we might start to see evidence that our hair is beautiful the way it is and be compelled to just let it be.

I have to disagree about natural hair not suiting everyone. If you like it short then wear it short. if you like it long then wear it long. if you prefer straight then wear it straight. There are still means of straightening hair without relaxers. It does require creativity and hard work to get a good style out of natural afro hair but i think once good research and methods have been found on the topic then it comes easy to people.

we haven't figured out the best way yet because no one bothers to try but instead go with the flow of the majority and what we all think is beautiful.

There needs to be further research into relaxers and finding a natural alternative to straightening afro hair but having it straight is not the only way to get beauty out of what God gave us.

as you can see its way too long for youtube.
