Monday Meditation

One woman on her decision to stop straightening:

"Some of my friends were like, 'Why are you suppressing your beauty?' and I was like, 'I'm not suppressing my beauty. My curly hair is pretty'... I think I stand with all the natural sisters as we're saying, 'Let's change the stereotype.' It's gotta be done."

that just proves how the general mindset is nowadays, it's sad how a lot of black women are unhappy with there natural beauty... I've gotten bad comment too. They'll say something like "you have nappy hair" (because when I straighten it, it looks nappy for some reason)and I'll say "duh I'm black" just to make them mad... But thanks for your support and open mindedness!!!

Amen to that. Suppressing my beauty? Hell, I am letting it shine!

"Suppressing my beauty"? I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.

sounds so familiar, from my own life. GREAT quote.

I've been so frustrated lately with people bugging me about my hair, I almost told the barber to shave it all off last week. Just thought I'd share.

I stand with you in all my natural glory...

I wish somebody would.

Interesting, I actually get more compliments on my natural head of hair, than when I had overly processed relaxed hair.

My hair has been natural for 10 years and counting...never going back.
