Women who alter their texture but still say they're natural.....

[Meritamen]

I hate you Roux. That post about the butthurt form had me rolling.

Wearing anything but an afro means you secretly don't like your natural texture or whatever it is some folks are trying to say? Really? REALLY now?

This thread has definitely gone off a cliff into extra extra land. Anyone want some popcorn?

QUITE A FEW OF YOU NEED THIS​

Roux - I laughed out loud at the "I wrote a six thousand word response..." LMAO

I'm not sure why you assume I have an issue with anyone funny thing is I am not friends with anyone on the board nor do I do PMs like that. The fact of the matter is that people do say their natural when they have some kind of chemical on their hair but that is their business. It's an observation I made about some folks IRL not on this board. I rarely even come in the hair section so I don't even look at hair pics like that. Some of you ladies are too funny.

I didn't assume, I presumed, BIG DIFF... Oddly enough, I think you do have an issue with them. But that's just my opinion...and they're like arseholes, riiiight?!?

You probably have no friends, poor you. The topic/thread is BS... funny, but BS... if they do?!? So what?!? No difference when folks lied about weaves... People lie about all sorts of stuff. *rollseyes*

It's just funny as heck to me that you are concerned about folks IRL that lie about their texture. But your chocolate arse (I'm dark chocolate, btw) - has that as your avatar. So they front IRL and you front on a messageboard....

 

[hothair]

Can't be bovered to read through this thread. Can't wait for "natural" hair to go back out of fashion and we can have some peace on this site again

 

[PerplexingComplex]

I don't like the term natural

 

[Poohbear]

Once again styling does not alter the texture in itself it may LOOK different by site only but everything else is not altered at all not the texture not the pattern not then density nothing changes besides the look nothing.

So saying that braiding twisting or curling hair changes the hairs natural state is false it doesn't even change it temporarily nothing changes but the appearance.

danniegirl - did you ever read my entire post??? I said hair styles alter the texture TEMPORARILY (which means for a short period of time). I did NOT say hair styles alter texture permanently like chemicals. A twistout DOES alter your texture ONLY throughout the duration of that hair style, not indefinitely, because after you wash it, it goes back to it's original texture. Come on now. If you're changing the appearance, that's the same as altering the texture. The hair style makes your hair look different than it's true texture only for a short period of time.

Edited to Add: Just to be clear - I PERSONALLY believe twistouts, braidouts, twists, puffs, fros, any natural style IS considered natural. I also believe heat styled hair with no chemicals is natural hair too.

organic? virgin?

 

[Roux]

I like virgin. Now that is a superiority complex to attach to hair. Yall and your tramp relaxers...slutty straight strands...chemically altered jezebels...the list goes on.

anyhow, I still think that the OP is specifically talking about a 'natural' on the board not so much someone IRL.

Why r u so defensive? Do u alter your texture and have denied doing so? Maybe I know u and maybe I'm talking about you, hmm makes me wonder cause you seem real annoyed by this thread. Btw my avatar is a Sim that I created has nothing to do with me just an avatar. You must read my threads a lot cause you can say what color I am without seeing my pics, funny I don't even pay attention to who you are.

 

[iri9109]

in regards to the twist/braidout issue, i think that's clearly just a style...i hope no one does braidouts/twistouts thinking it looks like thats the way their hair is naturally, because i've never seen a twistout/braidout that looked like it grew out of someones head that way ...just like straightened/relaxed hair doesn't look like it grew out of someone's head that way...it's a style, the same as a rollerset/bun/press/ponytail/WnG/fro...

 

[InchHighPrivateEye]

Well, dang.

 

[Ms. A.Sunshine]

Ummmmmm I'm uncomfortable...........

 

[NicWhite]

so lemme get this straight....so because i don't choose to wear my hair in a "fro" i'm not natural??!!! GTFOH!!! that doesn't even make sense! a man created combs....God didn't do that....so since you use a comb you're not natural....shoot...you're only really natural if you have dreads....

please think before you write some off the wall stuff on here...."only a wngo is natural" HA!

it is too early in the mornining....lawd have mercy....

^^^^ yes but only if your dreads looks like this:

None of that manipulated, neatly parted stuff.

I bow to the nachal hair gawds. I'm in awe! He grew hair out of his own head. How he do that?! Maybe my day will come

#kanyeshrug IDC if the girl wants to say her 3b WSL hair is hers and I can still see the Remi tag you know...it's her life.

Also, when that happens to me (and living in Cali, for some strange reason, it happens more than I'd like to admit out loud) I also think it's a self-esteem and self-image issue, like anybody who would go out of their way to LIE about their hair? They must have some kind of self-image issues, but that's just what I think.

Again, lol why you mad though?!?.... I wasn't the first, nor the last person to call you out...but you keep responding to me?!?

So are you mad?!? I thought it was funny, and a bit obvious that it wasn't IRL... I mean do you seriously go around asking natural chics if that's their texture...and when they say yes, you roll your eyes and say:

I have Hair -- that's all you need to know... I'm on a hair board and have perhaps posted my pic once...what I do to it, whether it's altered or not...is what I do to it.

Whose being defensive - "funny I don't even pay attention to who you are?" Why should you?!? I don't recall asking you to? I don't alter my hair and claim it as natural, so I guess you wouldn't be paying any attention to me anyway...you are seriously reading waaaay too much into my posts- OP. Really.

And yes, I did see you in the thread about the darkskin girl movie and folks called your arse out then about that silly arse avatar...but you're doing you....its just a SIM character...and this is just an observation. That tis all.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I don't like the term natural

There's nothing wrong with the term. It's just that people have different views as to what the term means. If you don't agree with the majority you get the side eye. Threads like these never end well.

 

[MsLi@512]

What about the naturals you only twistout or braidout their hair and claim that it is their "natural" hair texture? What is the difference between a person with 4a/b hair who wears twistouts to have 3c/b-looking hair and never wears their hair "natural" (wash-n-go)? That confuses me. How are you not altering your hair? It my not be chemical, but GOD didn't create your hair like that. If god didn't create it, then it ain't "natural".

this seems to be way off in left field someplace. i don't get it at all.

WOW....this thread went :swordfigh

too.

I will respectfully have to disagree with your theory texture is defined as:

tex·ture
- noun 1. the physical structure or composition of a material, object, etc.

So the physical structure of the hair would need to be altered in order for the texture to change even temporarily the physical structure of hair is defined below

Since braiding and or twisting hair or just manipulating hair in various styles is not changing the physical structure of the hair then it is not changing the texture not even temporarily it just changing the look that's all

The physical structure of a human hair can be seen through a microscope. It consists of three layers of dead skin cells: the cuticle, a smooth, outer covering fashioned from cells that overlap like fish scales; the cortex, a thick, middle layer made of spindle—shaped cells filled with keratin and hair color; and the medulla, a relatively narrow central column containing cube—shaped cells and pockets of air.

Damn! SMH@ this thread...



Personally, I can give less than a flying phuck if others chemically alter their texture and lie about it. To each his own I guess.

all.

I don't see why she had to be called out at all especially about her skin color. Post in threads should be relative to the topic of the thread any thing else especially something of a personal nature is so extra, un called for and very immature

But didn't the op create this thread to call out "Women who alter their texture but still say they're natural"? When you point a finger, three point back at you.

When I joined I didnt know any of the terms. I just knew I was flat-ironed without any chemicals , breast milk , salt or any of that stuff. When I first made a siggy I put my hair type then I put stretched because I assumed that meant stretched out by being flat-ironed I now realize it doesn't mean flat-ironed but I'm still not certain of the exact definition. Is there like an lhcf term dictionary? I think thats a good idea. Just my 2 cents .

DANG! Breastmilk is good for your hair! and I just weaned my son. Missed another AWESOME opportunity!!!!

 

[PerplexingComplex]

organic? virgin?

Before coming on hairboards I just told people I didn't have a relaxer/that's just what my hair does. I don't understand why having your hair unaltered needs its own term other than a name for hairstyle

 

[Cherokee-n-Black]

Methinks the ladies doth protest too much. We all know what natural means--no relaxer, no jheri curl, no texturizer. You do or you don't. Period. If so many people didn't care/don't give a bleep what other women do with their hair and claim their hair is etc...why do you give a bleep who cares about it? Somethin's up!

Honestly I'm not mad but it seems like you seem to be very offended by the thread, others have posted their opinions but you want to turn this into something it's not. My post was about people I know that I may ask what did they do to make their curls looser since they were tighter last I seen them, when their response is oh it just did a wash and go I really have to give them the side eye. I'm not talking about random people I'm talking about acquaintances. Your post clearly show you're the one that's mad not me. I started a simple thread and it gets blown out of proportion.

 

[nappystorm]

In my orientation today, someone told the class she had natural hair. Let's just say I thought of this thread. Tis all.
