I love being natural and I am proud to be natural. But do you naturals ever get rude comments about your hair.
For example my mother hates the fact that I am natural. Everytime she sees me she asks me if I am going through some type of phase because my hair is at it's natural state. Or she'll say "You better comb that sh*t before it dreads.
Or I will go out shopping and I run into a friend and I will have my hair in a fro and they will ask me did I miss my hair appointment or something or someone I know will come up to me and touch my hair and will say something like "Wow, that sh*t is thick, or damn or you trying to go for the Lenny Kravitz look or something." I know I am not suppose to care what other people think but it can get so frustrating sometimes. I am just sick of sometimes feeling neglected for being natural. It shouldn't have to be like that.
Any other naturals experienced or have gone through what I am feeling if so how did/do you deal with it.
