It allows me to still retain the fullness of natural hair but get a little more softness. <br /><br />Anyhoo, you know the babes that cake on pounds of make-up, suck everything up in spanks for days, and just look like a completely different human being on chill days?

Teamnatural was fun and games until some people hijacked it and made it some kind of "haram" to have relaxed hair. <br /><br />I've been all kindsa nappy since 05 and I don't regret my decision. I don't expect anyone to understand or even accept it. Just like you, I pretty much rock my fro. once in a while I have weaves in or simply weave the hair.<br /><br />Whatever rocks ur boat nwannem, the man who loves you will love you even if your head is a galloping alopecia...Aee Bonruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287574113066418928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029273078195619238.post-47200761045436178612012-09-05T20:34:18.498-04:002012-09-05T20:34:18.498-04:00looool. me sha i prefer you with natural hair. but...looool. me sha i prefer you with natural hair. but then you know me. i especially loved your red low cut natural hair days. <br /><br />adakuhttp://www.soundcloud.com/adakunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029273078195619238.post-67739206871941672882012-09-05T13:12:15.466-04:002012-09-05T13:12:15.466-04:00I love your natural hair.

Some women rock the natural look pretty well, some don't. I just feel people should rock what they feel comfortable in, life is too short to worry about what people think about my hair, lol. I kinda identify with the false packaging angle.

I've started wearing my hair out (natural) more and more and I really enjoy it that way. <br />I think perceptions of beauty (as far as I'm concerned) are mostly "eurocentric therefore they will most likely favor long "flowy" hair as opposed to naps.<br /><br />ah well.

I think my hair, which I keep natural for months at a time, keeps 'falling their hand', poor things. I finally blew it out and straightened it and they almost fainted from relief! To be honest, I think I look my prettiest with a weave in, but I just love my naps too much not to rock them.

Too honest.<br /><br />Personally i love switching my look up so i'm all for weaves from time to time, but now that i've discovered wearing my own hair is an option i've definitely cut down on "doing my hair" (whatever that means) <br />While i dont see it as false advertising i definitely prefer to meet guys when the fro is out so they know the deal, if you're trying to get with one you may wish to know that ones hair ends up in some very unsexy twists at bedtime.<br /><br />Lol @ your sisters comment tho.<br /><br /><br />Errr......aunty...this word verification....mizchifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856675705278891115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029273078195619238.post-83520696024738781252012-08-28T06:43:38.653-04:002012-08-28T06:43:38.653-04:00I totally agree with Nutty J.
