If wearing ur hair a certain way, or rocking a certain style makes a person feel beautiful, than more power to them. But I do believe that everyone deserves to feel beautiful just as they are. A Black woman's hair is something that has transformed itself into an entity of its own. Everyone feels the need to comment, everyone feels they have some right to dictate how she should wear it. An older white co-worker once said to me that there we're alot of "nappy-headed hoes out there" and that he'd seen so many "bad weaves". And as ignorant as the comment was, I wasn't even mad because we as black women have allowed for our worth to be dictated by our hair, never coming to its defense when someone puts it down. As a fellow natural sista, I feel u on how "political" a statement wearing my hair natural is. And it saddens me that a black woman's hair is still more than just hair. But I also feel as irritated by those who wish to denigrate other black women for wearing weave...especially when its black men. To me, a black woman wearing weave is nobodies business but her own, its a choice she makes, and if she believes in it, and it empowers her she should continue to wear it. As long as she is confident enough within herself, what does it really matter..its just hair!BLACKkittenROARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999284309980570052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35417789.post-88831787104549329642009-08-13T23:07:13.066-04:002009-08-13T23:07:13.066-04:00I love this post!

I think because of our cultural roots and the things we were fed in our inception...of slavery and the racial implications of hair, skin color and beauty...sadly, this is a topic that is a raodblock that we will be coming to in the future. black women's hair is now political. we're the only ones who are like that. We don't know how Bey feels about herself or Solange feels about herself. I just hope they all know that black|blue|green..wig|bald....heels|flats...gowns|jeans, they know they are beautiful...Felicia|DaLipstickBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919397591358811652noreply@blogger.com
