There's a whole movie about it, too. Chris Rock can be annoying, but I still enjoyed the documentary.

It shouldn't be an issue. The three women other look pretty, I don't care for the long braids as much - is that considered natural?

I wish that black women would stop messing with chemicals and other garbage when it comes to hair.

My mom and all of my sisters wear their natural hair, just like it was meant to be.

Huge movement back in the 60's and early 70's tied to civil rights to do just that and it died out. Western commercialism is a damn juggernaught.

True. Black men used to be bad too. Jheri curls, perms, pompadours, finger waves, s-curls, etc...I hate it all.

We're black, and we should wear our hair naturally. I've got no issues with coloring, or adding a mild texturizer...but those harsh ass chemicals? That stuff will ruin your hair.

I just keep a Philly Fade with waves that'll make you seasick. And I only need to wash it once a week after I get it cut.
