My four year old has started asking why her hair doesn't hang and swing and other questions taht we all asked at some point when we noticed that our texture is different than other races. I think it helps that she sees mommy's hair is poofy too and she loves it. While I feel that natural hair isn't for everyone, I do think that everyone should try it. If you don't know what your natural texture is like, then you really don't know what you're missing!GGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376965431388927653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709753426743672345.post-92202164254485122842010-09-21T20:09:10.103-07:002010-09-21T20:09:10.103-07:00Wow, Daree, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
...Wow, Daree, thank you for sharing your thoughts. <br /><br />It's amazing how powerful the conditioning is - it's like not missing what you never had to be a lifelong natural. I applaud you for what you're doing and how you're proactively taking care of your daughter's hair. It's not easy and the images don't help. <br /><br />I do appreciate that we're seeing more natural performers sporting cute styles, but they're so few and far between. <br /><br />And how awesome that your friend confided in you! I hate when women go natural and get all militant about it like they been enlightened since the womb. I think it's a journey and I just applaud anybody even willing to give it a shot. <br /><br />I agree with your assessment - it's work of its own kind but it is so worth it. I'm now to the point of not even missing anything about relaxed hair. Give me my poofy hair all day!

I just took my daughter to a natural salon for the first time to get her hair trimmed (also for the first time) and styled. I thought about my short, two-month natural hair adventure so far. The stylists were teens or in their early 20's and struggling with transitioning. The one doing my daughter's hair said, "Don't ever perm her hair. If you want it straight, bring her to me and I'll do it (blow it out) for you."<br /><br />You've read my natural hair post, so you know--I'm so grateful that the kinks have been removed from my mind. But since I really haven't started growing it out, I know I will have doubtful thoughts along the way. Can I do this? My childhood friend confided in me the other night that she was thinking about "going back to the creamy crack" after a year of being natural because "she can't take it anymore." It's work, but I think it's definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing.Dareehttp://dareesinsights.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
