"Good hair" usually means "straight hair", I know. But dammit, I love curly afro hair.

I know, I know, as a white woman I should shut my big mouth because natural afro hair is a bitch to work with, but I've felt like that ever since I was a child and watched a children's show called "Bullerfnis" [link] and I though the woman was the most beautiful thing ever, hair included.

Than a few years later her and her friend appeared in a children's movie as two cops, and she wore a straight wig [link] and I was all "Why did they make her less pretty? :C"
Only many years later did I realize that they made her more of a stereotypical tough black chick, and him a stereotypical whimpy white guy who was in love with her. :XD:

i wish i could go natural with my hair but it gets so wild that i break too many combs when it gets dry and then if its wet it stays wet for hours Q~Q its like a 4-5 hour job to keep it from going crazy orz. but i wish i could some day.

Fuck off. She's just saying what BLACK WOMEN THEMSELVES say. Many black moms hate their daughters' hair and complain about brushing them, thus giving the children complexes.

So, yeah, she doesn't have to be a hairstylist to echo what some black women feel. Damn it, you're making a big deal out of nothing...

As a black women, I appreciate this. I feel self-conscious about going natural precisely because there aren't enough people in the world like you. Whenever I see Esperanza Spalding I just flip out because she is beautiful like that.

When I was a little girl I wanted to be black so I could have an afro. I'm a redhead with a pair of redheaded parents! They thought I was strange. Haha. It's still my favorite hairstyle for a woman! Please go natural, it's lovely.

Well, I think red hair is gorgeous too :) It's funny how we can always appreciate everyone else's beauty but our own...
