I haven’t had a perm in 8 months, and now I am throwing out the weave ! His movie is very educational, I’ve always wanted to know “what am I doing”? Why am I ashamed of my real hair? Why do it strike a nerve to be called nappy? After seeing this movie I’ve realized that none of it is important compared to being USED!I’ve also noticed that without all that junk in my hair it feels better to me and it grows faster. Actually it feels spectacular, harder to manage but I love the straw curls!

liliokilani,

You …
liliokilani,

You were deleted previously for engaging in an argument in my comments section. It had nothing to do with your opinion. Ironically, I actually agree with much of your opinion. But I’ve asked you kindly to be respectful. Respect that. Or next time you will be blocked.

I agree with your statement. It is a scandal what people do in the name of ‘religion’. The sad thing is that the one’s who are giving their hair willingly to their gods/goddesses don’t even know what’s really going to happen to it. I would be highly upset (understatement) to know that my tithe money or whatever I’m giving to God is being used or misused this way.

Natural hair is the …
Natural hair is the hair you were born with. There is no good or bad hair. Even throughout other races there are different textures of hair. in my opinion it is all about trying to be accepted by a community of people who have never fully accepted who we are. Just because you slap a wig on or throw a perm in your hair, you will always be BLACK to them. It’s about learning to accept yourself for your self.

-applauds- I totally agree with that whole statement. If we don’t uphold our own as a race, we will lose out cultural uniqueness. Be it with our traditions, our values or our image. We have to do it for ourselves.

even more so than our color the hair defines black ppl/ africans. There is a war going on since the slave trade that has not ended n it is up to us as individuals to know history n due our part n preserve our uniqueness as a race. image does matter everything in life does do not take anything for granted nothing was created in vain. African ppl love ur self more, before american there were the african. we still here!

Makes me wonder too …
Makes me wonder too.. We are nto to pollute our bodies with food sacrificed to idols. But what about wearing hair sacrificed to idols. Seems like it is another way of defiling the bodies of the women who are wearing it, not just the bodies of those being deceived into giving it!
