The worst comments that I’ve gotten about my hair throughout the years have come from Black women. When I was young wearing an Afro was a symbol of Black pride. Why do we keep going backwards?

[@bnp1754]

I went natural around the same time. I’m from northern FL. It was hell lol. People made it clear that because I didn’t have “good” hair that they didn’t think I should be natural. I felt like a pariah. I’m not even going to get started on the crazy comments I got from men. I had to cut my hair off because I got a bad reaction from a relaxer. The natural hair community really helped me pull through back then.

[@TheNenaBrown]

You absolutely had “good hair” back then.. Period!

[@michellewhite6938]

Your hair is gorgeous! It’s sad that our hair is too often compared to our European sisters! I love our hair because it beautiful and versatile. Unfortunately we still have a lot of unraveling and misconceptions to address which is deeper than hair!

[@barbaraberry3227]

I’m sorry you had an experience like that. Sometimes the people closest to us hurt us the most. Your hair is definitely not nappy. I hate that word.

[@monicaDD]

This was so relatable but my job experience “improved” because I was working with the homeless. I hope you get the humor in that

[@naturalcurls4life576]

Wow! I had one person say something nasty to me, and that was my mother. I did however get a lot of crazy looks. I returned natural in 2004. As always, thanks for sharing.

Look how the guides work. You had no idea at the time of recording those texts, that the denial and gaslighting boomerang would return. Rather than the person just acknowledging that their words, and lack of understanding your hair journey was hurtful, they dodged it. 🥴 I’m glad that you were able to stand on higher ground and know you heard, whatcha heard!💪🏾

[@WhatTheKink]

And did! lol

[@Chromagens]

It's always interesting to see the switch up. I remember when my aunt was trying to act like the authority on natural hair when I vividly remembered being 11 after she relaxed my hair and I didn't like it. "oh so you prefer the nappy picky hair". Lmao. The wildest time of being natural was definitely in university. The things people have told me haha omg. But that was all over a decade ago.

[@nwayoo9559]

Love these videos and glad you feel over those hurtful comments. Your hair has always been beautiful. I don’t know if times have completely changed.

[@WhatTheKink]

We for sure still have a ways to go.

[@1922mistyblue]

Yeah I understand how you feel. Love your talking chill videos.

[@ossier2796]

People forget that whatever we post is there for all to see forever.

[@CherryBerry383]

sorry you used to have experiences like that, i used to get so many from my own family back then. now a lot of them went natural themselves LOL
