Re: Relaxed ladies:If relaxers werent for sale anymore and hotcombs were not availabl
You are so right. It shouldn't be a big deal. Relaxed people don't shake their head at people that don't want to be relaxed. Its a personal choice. You do you and I'll do me. I can be completely bald and i'll still have pride in myself.
ITA and furthermore it's not that people "can't" go natural but some just don't "want" to for whatever reason. It is a personal choice but I'm having a hard time understanding why it's that big of a deal. It's just hair. I'm sure people would survive the horrors of having natural hair. They'd have no choice but to get over it

Let me break it down for you...
Let me break it down for you...
Why does it matter how long I've been on this board? I've had my hair all my life so it really doesn't matter how long i've been on here.
I stated that because the statements you were making echo the feelings of some of the people who are new to the board who are unaware that those statements are ignorant. Hopefully, with time you will figure this one out.
I'm assuming ignant means ignorant.
A good grade of hair is exactly what it says. Some people have nicer hair than others. For example alot of biracial people have a better grade of hair than people that aren't biracial.
Wow...please read what you wrote above, educate yourself. Biracial does not necessarily equate a better grade of hair
It doesn't take a genius to know when someone has a better grade of hair than yours. I call a big nappy fro one that you can break a comb trying to comb through it. I doubt if I went natural I would have that problem. Naturally some people's hair is more manageable than others with or without hair products. Not saying that my hair is better than anybody else's on here.
Unfortunately, the tone of your post says the opposite, especially to those who don't have a "good grade" of hair or those who have nappy hair who can break a comb
Definition of ignorant- uneducated in general; lacking knowledge or sophistication
New to LHCF or not I am very well educated.
I did not say that you are uneducated in general. A person can hold a PhD but still sound ignorant when they talk about having a good grade of hair.

The look of my natural hair I wouldn't mind. The maintenance of it on the other hand, whole nother story! I guess with this scenario I'd have to just get inventive with long wearing styles with the least maintenance.

First off I did not say every biracial person has a better grade I said alot. You can take a person with beautifully healthy hair and a person with hair that's never been taken care of that girl with damaged hair can still have a better grade.

I haven't heard anything like that. But on another note I can wash and leave, not because I have a good grade of hair but b/c I don't have any hair right now

Yes, I was natural for almost 22 years of my life it wouldn't be anything shocking.

i have never heard a white broad say it either. . . but we know how they feel. I don't have a problem with naturals using a pressing comb like it is 1960 or leaving hair that looks like pubes all over the place, they shouldn't have a problem with me relaxing mine. . . shyt it is MY damn head. . . and relaxed heads CAN. . . but most DON'T. . . why? cause of the pork factor.I haven't heard that from naturals, relaxed heads can do that as well

I would find another way for straight hair, but weaves and wigs would only do it for a short period of time. I think after a month or so after doing those thing will I just learn to take care of my natural hair. I don't have a choice.
Some ladies are coming off as condescending...

Im not gonna argue my point anymore. You have your opinion I have mine. You might not use the word grade but I do. People are obviously quite sensitive about their hair. This is not serious enough for me to keep talking about. You love your hair and I'll love mine.

Wow. There is way too much ignorance in this thread.
ETA: Jokes always have a bit of truth to them. But hey, if your pubic hair is APL, more power to you!

you took it personal and that is your fault. . . do i think natural hair looks like pubes? of course not. . .we already know that I was heavily contemplating natural. . . this goes along with the heavy consensus even in OUR community that natural hair is 'nappy' or 'bad'. if I didn't like natural hair. . . it would make little sense for me to be a member of this board.
