Lately, there has been so much tension among women of colour over their hair choices. There is a group that says no to relaxers and rather rock their natural fro, there is a group that says no to weaves but yes to relaxers and wigs, there is a team that says yes to relaxers, wigs, weaves and all. These differences in hair choices have divided the black women community so bad, some women have resulted to stalking and bullying anyone who doesn’t agree with their personal hair choices. I find this whole hair drama bizarre, like it should not even be an issue.
Team natural vs Team non natural
For me personally, I don’t see anything wrong with any of these choices. I believe every woman should be free to decide how she will like to wear her hair. I am a team non-natural all the way and I have always been. I love my Dr Miracle relaxer, my lace wigs and brazillian hair and the likes too much to go natural. Every black woman should be free to decide on how she wants to manage her hair and I don’t understand where the tension comes from. I know there is a lot of competition among the black women folk and everyone wants to be seen as doing the ‘right’ thing but the beef is all unnecessary in my opinion. I love seeing natural fros on women. I love the kinky look especially on little girls. I also love beautiful wigs and weaves and I just prefer them to natural fros…….
Why the tension?
Can’t we all agree to disagree on this? At the end of the day it is still just HAIR and what we should be striving as black women to achieve is having healthy hair. We are not our HAIR, our hair does not make us who we are. It is just an extension of ourselves. Let us stop defining ourselves by how we choose to wear our hair.
What do you think of the whole team natural vs team non-natural drama?

Hi Stella,
I wanted you to be one of the first to know I’ve decided to self-host. You actually helped inspire my decision, so I wanted to tell you.
I’m still not sure the difference between a media kit, and my About page which both seem like a resume, but one step at a time.
My new site is called Mostlyblogging.com. I hope you’ll follow me over once it’s set up. I’m nervous about it, but I have great help. Hope all is well with you.

Hi Janice. That’s great news. Glad I inspired you. Good luck with the new blog. I will be following you on there most definitely.
My first new follower! You have a reblog button here. How did you get it? I thought it wasn’t possible if you self-host. Please advise. I am going to WP.org. Thanks.

I am no good when it comes to tech stuff Janice. I just stumbled upon it and added it.
My motto when it comes to hair and personal style of other is… “if you like it, I love it” I will be honest to the person but at the end of the day you must do what you like whether that is straight hair or curly hair, dyed, bleached or whatever.
