I really do agree and was never my intention to make anyone feel any of the above or contraryNo one said that they didn't feel bad for this little girl. No one said that this doesn't happen to many little girls.
The vast majority of relaxed ladies would NEVER put a relaxer on a child.
The big problem is that it became a natural vs relaxed issue.
People have said that relaxed women don't want to hear the truth.
The truth is even if some women want to relax their children's hair, if the hair is cared for PROPERLY, it's not that big of an issue. It's not the relaxer that's evil.
Do you really think that the child would be much better off even if she was natural? It is easy to see that her guardians don't know how to take care of hair PERIOD.
I say this again... it all boils down to learning how to care for nappy hair period, natural or relaxed.
Of course people are going to get offended if naturals seem like they are trying to:
1) Imply that natural hair is somehow better than relaxed hair (An IDIOTIC way to feel imo... it's just hair)
2) Pressure people to become natural
3) Undermine or underestimate the ability of INFORMED people to make their own decisions.
I'm not saying that any one person did all of this, but the vibe is definitely in this thread.
This is not one of those "pro natural, relaxer bashing" boards. I feel it's important for everyone to be able to be comfortable here and learn and share with each other regardless of how we choose to style our hair.
Ain't Dr Willie Morrow the 'Cyberperm Virtual Relaxer guy' who DON'T list his darn ingredients!
Phyto aswell?
Nah girl I always take long breaks from the hair board/groups/fotki. I just happened to stick around a little longer than usual this time! what a ride!
lol
I'm cool with this thread now, at first I just didnt get it, when a few special people broke it all down to me then I understood how it was being percieved!
Thank you to the people who did that for me and were already giving me the benefit of the doubt! those that know me and those that didnt! Thank you!
PREACH!ur welcome...from me anyway. well i hope to get to know u when u co,e back from ur break.
wen it comes to hair and products, it's boils down to one thing........commerce? Who's going to make that money and how are they going to make it?...that's jmo. so it doesnt matter whether a person is relaxed or natural, there's going to always be an argument from both sides of the fences.
OH PLEASE!... His 'No Lye' relaxer: Keratin Hydroxide Relaxer fortified with Reformation Conditioner...WTF!
OK, like, I'm a qualified Scientist.
Ain't no thing on this earth called Keratin Hydroxideso what he's created a new element now... so misleading
.
Maybe he means Ca(OH)2!
I havent seen any jews with balding edges or permanent hair loss, or even breaking damaged hair that wont grow yet
but I suppose they are out there somewhere
People are just mad because they hate to see the truth, that is all.
I think its funny how its always the same "Well they aren't doing it properly" statements. Its just like saying you know how to smoke cigarettes properly... Or how to be overweight/obese and healthy. Come on...So what if you think you're doing it right and getting results...

Not even worth it![]()
The video was one-sided and overly-dramatic.
But those people pulling out the one white / Jewish woman they know with broken off, straightened or slow-growing hair are also wrong.![]()

Pul-lease, we all know we have more processed and jacked up hair than that of any other race, so just confess and address.![]()
I didn't say we have cornered the market. I said we have *more* of it. It is a matter of scale, and the degree of damage. Our hair is more fragile - it takes a lot less to jack it up, PLUS we do more to it. That's the God's truth.forreal??... maybe it's more obvious on "us" but i categorically refuse to believe that black women have the market cornered on having processed and jacked up hair...

I was with you, but you lost me here. What do you mean by this?
militant thread.
the title alone shows this.
sad really.
I couldn't AGREE more!
of course i read it!
it would be silly to write a view on something I hadnt even read.
so what in the thread was militant?
rotfl! yeah!Heehee, you have officially been Barack Obama-ed. Held guilty by association.![]()
some of the comments, also the fact that this subject of relaxers being harmful to hair once again being brought up...i think we all know this by now. it getting boring and kinda offensive to people who relax. its like people are constantly pushing it in our faces that we are damaging our hair so obviously implying that we're dumb for doing it....well this is just the way I see it anyway. I've never understood this hype over being natural and being relaxed anyway. Its just hair and people's choices...if they wanna put it on their childrens hair who are you to judge? you dont know their reasons.
