Natural Hair Isn’t for Everyone…..

In Uncategorized on April 16, 2013 at 3:28 pm

Derek JAtlanta celebrity hair stylist Derek J. recently made THE stupidest comment on the new BRAVO network show “Fashion Queens”.  Not only did he admit that he “Is not a fan of the Natural Hair Movement”  he went on to say “Natural Hair is not for everyone”.

Huh? Lemmie get this straight, Natural hair (as in the hair that you were born with) may not be for you?  * insert black stare *

But chemicals used to straighten hair, which have been linked to cancer, fibroid tumors and more just work great for everyone?…..   *insert nodding bobblehead *

Oh, and weave, which is essentially SOMEONE ELSE”S  natural hair sewn or glued to YOUR head is also universal? GTFOH

Thank Goodness people are free to do what they want to with their hair. Who REALLY cares?  But stupidity like this just beckons me to my soap box.  I’ve been hearing people make statements like this for the entire 20 years I’ve been natural.  EVERY time I hear it its like finger nails scraping a chalkboard.  How do you react when you hear people say “Natural Hair is not for Everyone” ?  Please comment below.

Braiding Hair Illegal? WTF?

In Uncategorized on March 12, 2013 at 12:00 pm

Utah is one state, among several, who’s recent legislation makes it a crime to braid hair for money, without a cosmetology license. Mind you, at present traditional African hair braiding is not a subject that is taught in state approved cosmetology programs.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this is an attempt to quell African culture, and with it an income stream for Black women and immigrants. Or, is it an underhanded way for local governments to earn extra income from licensing fees? Can we really trust that this is an attempt to protect the public from negligent practitioners?

We want to hear your DAMN thoughts.  Please respond in the comment section.
