Natural is better

Yay! Another one of my friends told me she was going to go natural and remove that harmful relaxer from her hair.

Thank goodness.



Natural hair is so much prettier and healthier than chemical dependent hair.



That statement may sound a little ridiculous but it is true. When natural, there are things our hair can do that may seem impossible. Our hair grows longer and stronger because we're not burning the roots every few weeks.



I love my natural tame; we all should.



Ladies, why are we continuing to use that stuff that makes our scalps burn and edges break? It makes no sense. Why are we so anti-"#ourownhair?"



Let's just all go natural and live happy lives.



Most of us say we won't go natural because we don't have the right grade of hair. Everyone's grade is the right grade. The hardest part is just learning the right products. Some of us need things others don't. We are different people, why would our hair not be?



No, you are not natural just because you don't wear weave. Weave is just one part of the solution. The other part is trying to wean off of the creamy crack. It's really not that serious. Just flat iron your hair if you just have to have it straight.



I think that as soon as we are able to accept what we were given, life would be much easier. We have to stop trying to look a way we aren't meant to. Let's be true to ourselves!
