Is the natural look for black women making a comeback?

[grumpy_new_yorker]

i see more and more women with mohawks and kool aid purple hair everyday. so no its not. not in new york anyway.

 

[DEE-LICIOUS]

Not more than it's always been. Yall act like there arent hundreds of thousands of females wearing natural hair already lol. Not every black chick has a weave or a perm.

Anyway, it aint for me. My real hair was natural for damn near 2 yrs cause i kept getting sew in weaves and didnt wanna perm my head. But now I took the weave out, and slapped a perm in quick fast. Natural aint my thing.

I'm down with any hair style that looks decent. But females are chopping thier hair off and wearing it more nappy than some dudes and I'm just supposed to "embrace" it because she's black. Invest in a straightening comb sweety this aint the jungle.

You are brave..I wasn't about to cut all my hair off at once. I've been doing an inch or so every few months. I can't wait until all the relaxed ends are gone.

I hope so. i've come to hate weaves and shit. i'd rather have a bald amber rose lookin bitch at this point than a chick with a weave. tired of the "i can't do that don't wanna mess my weave up" excuse.

thanks. what i did was keep my hair braided for like a year; just kept gettin braids so i wouldnt be worried about maintaining my hair or constantly checking to see how much it grew
then i finally just cut it cuz everyone thought i was just talkin; "ahhhh you aint gon cut your hair off, shut that shit up. blah blah blah"

it aint even that, cuz i aint payin for a bitch hair. its the fact that the bitch wont go swimmin, wont go to the gym, wont do anything active. shits wack son

 

[yung_mulah]

Im seeing it alot where i live and i think its beatiful. Black women should love and embrace their natural hair.

 

[adorable thughighnes]

Yea my partner from L.A. got locs and he says nobody really has locs in Cali....

Thats LA, that shit dont speak for the entire state. Tell that faggot to shut his mouth. The bay stay real with natural hair, FACT.

 

[tangible thoughts]

i like weaves, its fun to see how far i can smack em off a bitches head

 

[marie addams]

as far as la i went to this bilal show and pretty much every black chick there had natural hair. I think on the hipster/indie scene it's prevalent. i'm transitioning (again) we'll see how it works out.

 

[spit_fiya]

I love seein a redbone with her hair pulled back with the bushy curly afro

 

[The Steve Boogie]

i lit a cigarette with a girlie who just got her hair did IN MY OWN FUCKING CAR and the jumpoff started SCREAMING as though i was committing RAPE or a similar act of forcible entry such as RAPE. i think i seriously almost got fucking maced. it was a dumb hairstyle anyway it looked terrible i shouldn't have even let her in the car in the first place to be quite frank with you, girl was a complete bitch.

she also tried to blame her smell of deep fryer on the hair irons. we were in an extremely heated exchange at this point so i said to the girl "then why do all your clothes smell like 'the hair iron' lol (i almost really said lol)"... sadly that wasn't the end of the night. after she got out of the car and called for a cab that didn't show up she called me back and like a gentleman i came back and got her and we went out to eat but she was a total racist piece of shit ever since.

lesson to be learned = pick something you can wash smoke out of or else you don't get the privilege of unleashing an orgasm upon my awaiting face. lol my fucking ribs are hurting

 

[hummingbird]

is that the REAL Steve Boogie (prays to good so)

anyway im natural and been natural. What I hate is why people assume because your natural your hair has to be tightly (aka nappy). I jsut had a bitch argue me down that my hair isnt nautral and I had to have atleast put a texturizer in it or a jerry curl (dead wtf) cause my hair has medium loose curls (ala Tracy Ellis Ross).

Truth be told there have always been lost of women with natural hair but because it doesnt fit the stero type of what natural hair is no one really notices. And I think guys are noticing more now simply because they are tired of the bone straight look and weaves.

 

[The Steve Boogie]

yes i am the real steveboogie.

I hope the 'fro is coming back - I'm tired of all the nonsense black women have to go through to make their hair look white
