I just googled earthy & it says "dirt like" Some other synonymns are "vulgar, rude"

So I would hope not since I'm natural lmao

When I hear the term earthy, I think of a person with hairy underarms who doesn't wear underwear and has a penchant for burning incense.

 

[SlimPickinz]

lol no. I will walk the long way just so I dont have to walk over dirt, I am far from earthy. Who said this to you @vevster

 

[mzteaze]

LOL does that mean I eat crunchy granola and carry a backpack too?

I've heard people call natural haired black women earthy..especially if they wear head wraps. lol.

I dont get it, but Im not surprised by it.

I get called Afrocentric every other day *rolls eyes*
I do love me some neo soul music though lol

And this thread seems fishy to me. Can somebody PM me the drama??

She's a doofus.

Ive never had someone refer to me as earthy and I wear my natural hair in all sorts of styles.

When I think of earthy I think... color palette of greens, reds, and brown, beaded or feather jewelry, lots of long loose flowky skirts and of course headwraps. Hair would be curly, kinky, or wavy... it doesnt automatically equal just natural hair to me. Its a certain aesthetic.

When i hear earthy I think nature, untampered with etc

 

[nothidden]

Never heard of this. Been natural for over 20 yrs and have never been called anything in regards to being natural.

Earthy to me means organic, naturally beautiful and grounded. Like "down to Earth". It's the opposite of superficial and fake. I would take it as a compliment. I'm an eternal optimist though lol

Yep and Yep.

Or else people wanna think you're militant and making some statement sigh.

 

[Ayesha81]

When I think of "earthy" down to earth and not materialistic comes to mind.

 

[happycakes]

Next time, tell her that you're not earthy, God just made you special.

And smile.

End of scene. LOL
