I especially love when that womyn was speaking about her daughter; sounded like me with my daughter, had to teach her how to love her beautiful hair. Now she's happy with it and wants to get locs like mommy.

My mom and all of my sisters wear their natural hair, just like it was meant to be.
It's no different than white women getting perms.

Gee, that's not offensive at all.

The Chris Rock movie blatantly ignored the HUGE natural hair movement which has been gaining in numbers for nearly a decade. This is natural afro-textured hair...no relaxers, no chemicals just beautiful hair!

LMAO...not trying to be an ass, but I keep telling yall that you know nothing about black folks.

Yeah, black hair is a lot different; if they wash it too often, it dries out and breaks. It's very fine. I had a roommate in high school who straightened her hair with a hot comb. She certainly didn't wash her hair more than twice a week. Me? I have to wash my hair every couple of days, or it gets flat and greasy. Typical white person hair.

A few years later, I stayed with a black family for a few weeks when I was waiting for an apartment. The mom and daughter did their hair natural; the girl favored braids. Her mom did her hair, and it took 3 hours to get all the braids done, but it lasted several weeks.

I may be envious of this.

I co-wash (which means conditioner wash) about every other day.

In general it is damaging (ie strips the natural hair oils) to wash very curly/coily/tightly coiled hair every day with shampoo and making hair dry. However, co-washing does not strip the hair of its natural oils and replenishes moisture (which most with curly/coily/tightly coiled hair needs to prevent dry hair)

A lot of people are doing "no poo" these days, not using shampoo on their hair (white, black, and other). I have not tried it, but I may look into it.

Yep. I don't use shampoo at all. I co-wash or deep condition only.
