During all my years in Chicago, I never saw newscaster Robin Robinson with anything but a sleek relaxer. However, she recently opted for a more natural style for a segment on African-American hair and the gym. As she notes — and Curly Bella reiterates — getting from curly to straight hair is enough of a process itself . . . then sweating it out at the gym is just like washing money down the drain. Instead of making a definitive choice between straight tresses or healthy priorities, the piece points out, there are plenty of other hairstyles that promote easier gym visits.

I hope this hasn't been posted before. If it has Mods erase it.
But I honestly think their connection about relaxed hair preventing women of color from working out is soooo stupid. Sure some people don't work out because of their hair. But come on a choice between a hair style and your health you'd be stupid to choose hair. I am aware there are millions of women in the black community whose hair or the hair they bought is their life, but they need to change their priorities. I'm relaxed and when my hair gets sweaty and nasty I will co-wash it and let it air dry in a bun. I think a slick back bun is both professional and chic. Y'all watch ANTM and you know if you want to look couture, but that hair in a bum. The main argument of the newscast is that natural hair isnt as professional, so women keep their relaxed hair. Whatever.
Also I'm mad she ended the news cast with:
"I'm here to inform you, not to startle you or distract you from my appearance..." (She made it seem she grew a mustache. Natural hair is not scary, if it's healthy)
" I'm kinda enjoying it, If you don't insist that I remove it, we'll see." Plus she's like ethnic hair holds the curl longer, then she says "one of the advantages of having ethnic hair. THANK GOODNESS THERE IS ONE."
What?!?! She she crazy!? That's major self-hate. Only one advantage of having ethnic hair. I for one love my hair for many reason. And get a head full of strong, healthy natural or relaxed ethnic hair, it's the most beautiful thing on earth!
And can y'all tell me why they had her up there with that lame white guy? I mean there's nothing wrong with him being white and male, but he honestly cannot relate at alllllll to any of her hair problems since she is not only a female, but black.
