Natural Hair

Before I go in on this natural hair craze let me say that I don't have nappy hair at all but it is extremely thick. Of course most girls with thick long hair are tender-head.  My mom tortured me by not letting me get a perm until I was 13 because she didn't want to "damage my good hair"..*side eye*

There seems to be a craze with this natural hair thing and I don't get it. I'm not sure why anyone would want to walk around with nappy hair especially in the Georgia heat (when your roots swell up it looks like a bad hat on your head).  Nor do I understand some women who feel they are more black or more in touch with their authentic self b/c they have nappy hair.  Lastly why bother getting your hair pressed every week when (to train your  hair)... just do us all a favor and GET A PERM.

There is also the group of people who believe natural hair is healthier. How many of you have seen a natural head that is broke off? That is a disaster !!! From what I've been told by several stylist natural hair often needs more attention. Don't ask me why but I'm guessing because it is nappy...*kanye shrug*

Now I do have a group of friends that are natural but it is only b/c perms irritate their scalp.  They often tell me it is highly overrated. 

What do you think about this natural hair craze?!!
