I haven’t read the entire thread just the first few posts. But from reading this I’m going to send out my 2 cents. I’m relaxed but transitioning by the way. Basically, our natural hair will fit out facial features because its what God gave us. If you feel that your natural hair doesn’t fit your features how can you justify that relaxed hair (straight hair) fits your features? If straight hair looks good on you then why wouldn’t a natural style. Something that’s supposed to go there. This is why I believe that most blacks need counseling for the many years of white supremacy that was embedded in SOME of us. Hundreds of years being told that white is better. Hundreds of years of people mixed with a little white feeling better. People not wanting to be too dark, or have hair too “nappy” or lips too big. Read the Willie Lynch letters if you have not.

We are the only race that was taught to not accept our skin color, facial features such as a wide nose or thick lips, and lastly hair texture. I don’t feel that everyone who has chosen to relax has an issue. Hair is a matter of preference and style. But please don’t feel like you are not pretty or would not be pretty with your natural hair. If your pretty with relaxed hair your going to be pretty with natural hair too. Because you could cut all your hair off- if you’re pretty your still pretty. I used to think folks were too bold for cutting their long hair off but then I could see how gorgeous the women on this forum were after they did it. I could see their beautiful features that were hiding behind the hair. But anyways, at the end of the day, its just hair and you have to wear it the way YOU want to wear it. Do it for yourself not for anyone else. People are too focused on what society thinks.
Sorry this is so long. Well no I'm not sorry. lol
