I may be over thinking this but... (sorry, long rant)

Wow, I didn't think it was that serious.

I mean, aren't most black women relaxed? I personally don't know any who aren't. I also personally don't know any black women who never had extensions or a weave. It's not like the article lied or anything....

Yes... and weaved up. It's the truth. I mean if 90% of your audience falls into that category what's wrong with tailoring your advice to them? I don't see the problem... Majority Rules. I mean if I really wanted to read about some natural hair I'd pick up a braids and beauty magazine or something. But of course that mag has crappy info in it too. Worse than what Cosmo prescribed anyway. I just look at the pictures.

Stuff like this bothers because "other folks" read it. Then they try and come to me like they're educated about "highly textured hair". They assumed to get my hair staight I use a relaxer. To get my hair culry I go the salon...

The question would be then is: Has anyone bothered towrite these people?
I am one who does not say anything unless something is going to be done.

Pantene. That's the best they could offer. They can fudge off. Hell I don't even pay attention to black hair advice in BLACK magazines let alone Cosmo.

I had a similar thought too....lol It may be an advertisement of some sort.
Some one mentioned that some questions of are made up. I believe the same.

BTW Your pics are pretty.

sounds like sound advice to me

part about the relaxers + weaves: it pertains to the majority so it makes sense that she would say that

shampoo every 10-14 days: decrease shampoos to retain moisture. however, she didnt say WASH EVERY 10-14 days. she basically said dont shampoo frequently. we all know that black hair (treated or not) loves water and conditioner but hates shampoo because it robs us of our moisture. i wonder if she meant "dont shampoo frequently but rinse regularly". that would have been better

but at face value and if you interpret the shampoo part the way i did, it is really good advice. but for relaxers, i would go longer than 6 weeks... im natural now ssoo yea LOL

Let's just keep in mind that Pantene is one of Cosmo's biggest sponsors and supporters. Yes, I agree with parts of the response given-- they were just trying to help.

I agree also that Pantene may be part of this.

LOL at the V for Vendetta. I has one, then chopped it all off recently.
