It's racist to think "natural" hair care industry and media applies only to kinky hair and that kinky texture is somehow less beautiful than curly texture.
I'm taking that photo to the hairdressers - the cut is exquisite. Lol @Duchess
@ciddhartha The natural hair movement was about dropping the creamy crack aka chemical relaxer. It was about getting kinky hair to grow long, getting kinky hair straight without heat, getting kinky hair to curl like the girl above without part relaxing it (texturising) and so on. This girl was born with the black hair people admire and want to emulate. The natural hair movement was for girls that can't find the products for their hair, there are a lot of products for this girl's type of hair and its easy to style. I bet she just sprays her hair with leave in conditioner and gets a trim every few months. Hardly an achievement and the movement will find her advice totally useless.
Not all African Americans are extremely Negroid with super kinky hair. AAs are 20% European and in some areas like the Western USA they average at 30%. Some of them have the Somali hair type. Perhaps she can be an inspiration to those.
Kinky is trashIt's racist to think "natural" hair care industry and media applies only to kinky hair and that kinky texture is somehow less beautiful than curly texture.
Exactly! Zeinab has different hair texture and her advice won't work for 80% of the people in the 'Natural Hair' movement. @ciddhartha just likes to take the opposite position of me, even if I'm right.
I can't give out the advice for free: no hair brushes only large toothed combs, carry conditioning spray, braid loosely, cover hair at bedtime, don't use heat, use moroccan oil/avoid butters, don't comb hair when dry and use lots of conditioner when combing with the big comb - basic stuff hooyo did when were little.
Amun - only an areebo would not know how to style her own natural hair unless she was addicted to relaxer from a young age.
