Lately I've been trying to figure out why there are people out there who either don't understand natural hair or just too SCARRRRED to go natural. Yeah I'm sure it has something to do with the media and the opinions of our loved ones and those we DON'T even know. But here's my theory...which can be added to that list. Hairstyles. I think it also has to do with hairstyling....I've talked to many women who want to go natural and ask me what are some hairstyles they could wear other than a fro. But natural hair is not just afros (it can be but it doesn't have to be). There are soooo many things we can do with our hair. Those who work in a professional setting you can do updos, ponytails, buns, and so much more. Those who like to party, party, party you can braid it, push it off to the side, wear it wild, or even just put to little hump in it. And of course you can wear those styles wherever you want...but there just some suggestions. Since I've been natural, I've worn more styles than I ever did with relaxed hair. It all depends on how you decide to wear it. That's why I try to post pics and videos of styles I wear to help get rid of those negative deceptions of natural hair.

I agree. Also, it has to do with the texture & curl pattern. I know many women would have beautiful type 4 hair wishing it was something else. I don`t believe everyone should go natural if they don`t want to - it`s a choice, not everyone likes the look, regardless if you were born with it or not. Natural, Relaxed, texturized, loc`d you name it; it is beautiful if it is well taken care of. I love my natural and it will return quite soon.
Well said!!! I totally agree!!!
