I find it interesting when naturalistas keep trying to get that perfect curl pattern.
I thought this was about embracing your NATURAL hair. Not feeding into this notion of what good natural black hair is supposed to look like. There is still this obsession of texture and patterns and this and that.
We’re liberating ourselves from relaxers only to put ourselves in another vain prison. Your curl pattern is your curl pattern. You can’t have someone else’s.
Deal with it.
Just another one of my unpopular opinions.
“My hair is an aesthetic choice. And I don’t feel I have an obligation to wear it one way or the other but to health for myself. And to me it’s healthier to, I guess, be as natural as you can in your most natural state. At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well. Pretty much everything you do as a black woman is a political statement. I don’t feel like it’s a responsibility or anything cause at that point I’d be putting myself into a penitentiary and that wouldn’t be a natural state! So the most natural thing to me is to stay as pure to or real to or close to who I am as possible.”
