I love Black women who wear there natural hair :) I mean I have no problem with faux locs, straight hair if its your real own hair, and extensions for Braids but thats it wear your own hair and stop wearing straight weave.

It looked like a baby hairstyle...that's why

And yet again, in todays society, everything has to be about "race" & the increasingly annoying "race card" has to be played! Black people are the ONLY ones dealing with "hair issues" now? Gtfoh!!! I've dealt with issues about my hair for most of my life on this planet, as have many other people that dont conform to everybody else's so called "standards"!

[@fedoratheexplorer2038]

I think the issue is that there is discrimination about the texture of the hair. Why does our hair have to be discriminated for the way it naturally grows out of our heads?

[@dragonflyy7439]

The fact that the hair which grows out of their scalps are seen as untamed and unprofessional. The black race predominantly has Afro hair so this affects them mostly
