Lol, why do people keep insisting this thread is going to be locked? I think whenever we do that, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and I don't even think this thread is that bad to warrant a lock. I think this thread is a good discussion regarding prerogative & mass influence and it can be salvaged if we want it to be...

All of my time on this board, I've seen Ateyaa threads get locked up and poofed up and every single time, I SMH because I don't know how as women who know how to generally take care of our hair, we have some issue with this woman whose practices are questionable. I liken her that friend or family member that we look at their hair practices crazy.

--I also want to make something extremely clear--just because you dont take issue with her and say 'it works for her' or join the anti-Ateyaa brigade, doesn't automatically equate to being a 'stan' or agreeing with her hair practices.

Furthermore, the same argument against those who aren't bothered by her should leave these threads, could be equally applied to the opposite group, as in, if you don't like her methods so much, stop watching her. Clicking on her video, makes her money, funding and furthering her 'bad hair care' efforts.

Let me keep it all the way real, the reason some of us are saying "It's what works for her" is because, shi* it is! lol. For instance, I totally am against the BKT, I feel it's a shady treatment, esp. with all the fumes and the news saying how dangerous it could be but ladies on this board do it all the time and post pics of the procedure and results. Lots of members see it and are influenced, and some have done it and regretted it/had damage. Who am I to take issue with what you think makes YOUR hair look nice, esp. when it's not infringing upon me?

So in essence, because someone says "It's her hair", doesn't mean we agree with it, y'all know good and well I dont, but think about it, yall, all these years of griping about homegirl, folks posting on her YT page, she is STILL doing what she wants. Yeah it kinda blows that she has a large following, but none of us can do anything about it. A lot of times, I feel because we're so into hair, we tend to inadvertently take other people's hair care practices personally. We project our hair standards on others and get frustrated when it's ignored. We all have practices that get side-eyed. I'm sure there's several people on this board that a thread could be started against what they do.

Sometimes, I just feel the line is blurred regarding feelings about this woman. I wonder if people REALLY care about her practices because they truly want better for her or just take pleasure in clowning her.

What a reasonable, balanced response. Thanks, Nichi.

@ Nichi, I see you're trying to save this thread. This one's a lost cause. No hope for it. It's going to have even less hope when 'the one who was called out' reads that post.

When did saying "pretty hair" become offensive?

I didn't mean it the way "we" normally use it, like "Girl, your hair is so pretty!" lol.

I meant it like, "Girl I'm tryna get me a white guy so I can have babies with that pretty hair."

I felt silly even typing that. :look: :lol:
 
Girl, if you start apologising for stupid mess like this, you are gonna be apologising for EVERYTHING you say.....because folks around these parts loves finding fault in everything.
