Can someone provide website forums for natural heads only? I am highly considering transitioning. Thanks!

I remember someone telling me that www.nappturality.com is only for people who have kinky hair. :( Does anyone know if that's really true? :confused:

No. Not true. It's for all sistas with un-relaxed, untexturized hair. There are a few napp-activist there, but really, all natural textures are welcome.

Girl I love that site! I have been a member since they first started in April of 2002! It's for anyone interested in caring for their hair w/out the use of chemical perm,aka texturizer. Learning to take care of our hair just the way it grows out of our heads. It focuses on healthy hair care in general, and that's about it in a nut shell. Learning to love and work w/ what was given to you. You should check it out for yourself. There's a transitioner section, loc section, like topics, albums, general disgussion,natural hair products/commercial hair products, hair styles section and more! www.nappturality.com
 
I Love nappturality also I too have been there since 2002 I still get a kick when going back reading the old post from the original nappturality board. But I always have a hard time getting on.

Thanks, ajargon02! :kiss: I will check it out! Previously, I tried, but it wasn't working. I was considering transitioning to natural. My cousin's friend got on the subject of hair and it led to hair boards. I told her just how much I

LHCF and that I may visit www.nappturality.com to get some additional info. She told me, "That site is ONLY for people w/ nappy and kinky hair! They would cuss you out for just being there!" :eek: It made me feel very thankful that the members of LHCF aren't like that!

It's not so much that it's ONLY for people w/nappy and kinky hair, but I do caution that just like the focus of this site is for women who want to grow long hair (regardless of texture), and just like the focus for naturallycurly.com is for women with curly hair (regardless of texture), the focus of nappturality.com is for women with highly textured hair (regardless of length or curl pattern). I caution because there have been problems when a poster gets on the site talking about "how do I change the texture of my hair because my curls/kinks/coils are too tight?" The purpose of the site is to teach highly textured women to love and care for their hair AS IT IS, without resorting to straightening techniques and tools.

Having said that, does that mean that no one of the site presses or flat irons their hair? Nope. Does that mean that no one on the site defines their curl pattern with gels, pomades, and serums? Nope. Does it mean that no one on the site has a looser curl pattern? Nope. Does that mean that no one on the site does things that might enhance growth? Nope. It does mean, however, that those things are not the main objectives and goals for the site. The site is one of the few refuges on the 'Net where a woman with very kinky (nappy, coily) hair can get advice about her hair type without people suggesting that she just perm it, or that she try and find her curl pattern and enhance it. It's also a support site for women who are told by people "your hair is too nappy, you need a perm" or "you don't have good hair, why are you trying to go natural?"

That's why some folks (and not the vast majority by far) will get a little heated when they feel like the site is moving toward the "anything you want to do with your hair is okay with me" side of the spectrum.
 
Cheleigh,

I hate to repost your entire post but I think that I was very well said!!:clap: :clapping:

Very well said Cheleigh.

@Mestiza.......If you go to that forum just don't mention anything about using heat of any kind. And dont say the word CURL:lol: . I've seen some people really get bashed for even mentioning curls. There was a thread on there that got real nasty and some members said that the site was only for 4b texture but Dee (the creator of the site) cleared it up and said that all naturals welcome. I love that board though. I learned a lot about healthy hair there.
