Women who alter their texture but still say they're natural.....

[Bun Mistress]

Scarlet T checking in (the T is for tex-lax). I was here. I just read this entrie thread. And now, I'm leaving.


Oh no! Let me change my siggy before the stone get thrown!!!!!!

I just wanted to come in here before y'all played pin the relaxer on the nappy girl. I kind of see the whole 'twistout ain't natural' argument. A twist out on some natural 4ab hair looks similar to type 3bc. I do see some ladies IRL who have type 4ab and with a tnc/twistout/braidout claim or act like that now manufactured type 3bc hair, albeit temporary, is theirs. They are still natural, whether they are a real 4ab or a fake 3bc, but faking the hair type. The question is not whether they are natural, but what hair type are they really.

How do you know they are faking it? What are they doing? Avoiding the rain or something?

I swear some of you broads don't make a lick of freaking sense. There is defending something and there is just being a straight up and down idiot. What texture is someone if they are wearing a ponytail?

 

[Amazhaan]

Honestly I'm not mad but it seems like you seem to be very offended by the thread, others have posted their opinions but you want to turn this into something it's not. My post was about people I know that I may ask what did they do to make their curls looser since they were tighter last I seen them, when their response is oh it just did a wash and go I really have to give them the side eye. I'm not talking about random people I'm talking about acquaintances. Your post clearly show you're the one that's mad not me. I started a simple thread and it gets blown out of proportion.

Yet, you keep responding. I can assure you, I'm not upset in the least. But out of all the posters calling you out, your focus remains on me, maybe its because I use the quote function ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep, it's a simple thread and I simply called your walking contradiction butt out.

snillohsss. Lol. Well, my cousin and her cousin are natural 4ab's like myself. We all love tnc and twistouts. They have been doing it for awhile, but it wasn't until I got on LHCF (and recent heat disaster) that I tried. We were lunching and the waitress, an AA female asked my cousin how she got her hair so shiny and the waves and curls (the ends were on rollers) so deep. Without blinking the hussy said mousse and water. And her cousin said the samething. Huh? I assume that my cousins, did (I mention they we're 3rd cousins?) weren't the only ones who do that. And when I pressed my cousin, she said her hair really does get like her tnc when its wet? Huh? Then why tnc? Really put 'just mousse and water' in you hair. She must have forgotten i watched her have her hair washed before at an aunt's salon. A 3bc she is not. Ok, what do I care. Its hers for the claiming. I will say, the crabcakes we had were on point.

where do yall be seeing these 4a/b twistouts that look like 3b/c hair? all i ever see is 4 a/b hair that looks like it was twisted and then taken out...it's just a way of setting the hair just like if someone straightens their hair and then curls it with the curling iron, or sets their hair on rollers...it doesn't mean they're "faking" a curl pattern, because it's obviously just a style...

I would not even worry about what someone is doing to or saying about their hair. When I put my make up on, no one can't tell me my skin is not flawless or when i put my push up bra on, no one can't tell me that is not where they lie naturally!! Lo!!!l maybe when she put her texlax in, no one can't tell her, her hair is not a 3a! It is obvious it must look like a 3a or you would not have such an interest. Just not that serious to me. At the end of the day we know the real deal

 

[candycotton]

There are still many women who believe that texturizers, texture softeners, and "baby" perms are not relaxers..I've also heard people say they're natural if they haven't had a relaxer n a few months..a lot of it is due to misinformation and the failure to simply compare the ingredients on a texturizer box to a regular relaxer box..

Oh, wait. Pump the brakes. I am saying that they dont say its a tnc. I wear tncs. If you ask me I say that. I was saying that some people may claim/act like their loose curls/waves from a tnc is how their hair really grows.

 

[snillohsss]

I have yet to see a braid out/TnC that looks like 3b/c hair. The tnc's look like crinkles and curls. There is no curl pattern.

Roux,

Well, if a person hasn't had a relaxer in a few months they are technically natural from root to line of demarcation. Who made up the rules anyway? I am seriously asking. Who are the group of nappy professors that got together and decided what natural hair can and cannot be? Were any relaxed or transitioning sisters in on these decisions? Who decided that anyone who used the word "natural" in a different context was misinformed? I am seriously asking because I obviously missed the memo.erplexed

i understand...but i've still yet to see a twistout/braidout/TnC/BnC that looked like it naturally grew like that or even looked like a WnG on 4a/4b hair...but if they want/are able to fool someone then more power to them i guess...

 

[Anakinsmomma]

Wow, this thread is eyeopening...

I'll just stop talking about my hair... That should eliminate all sideeye lol

I actually read the whole thread. Ok, I agree with the ladies that say this thread and threads like this are extra if all this was said IRL. On a forum it would be only right to debate so why are yall on here saying its extra, are yall serious??? All I got out of these 9 pages of debate is I guess I better call my hair virgin (I am so serious right now) like someone else suggested. Oh and that you better not lie about anything!!!! This thread was very interesting, thanks OP.

Seriously, I didn't get that fax or e-mail from the International Natural Hair Organization either. *off to recheck my yahoo account.

 

[dynamic1]

Yes that is what i mean. They use those things to loosen the curl pattern to may a 3a or 3b from a type 4.

I have never seen chemically altered type 4 hair resemble 3a or 3b hair...Neva eva.

Unless a type 4 put on a wig or got a 3a or 3b sew in...no dice...it just doesn't happen that way.

Where are these women... Show them to me Just kidding

One day i was rocking my hair out in all of it's poofy & kinky glory (frigging ca-yute if i do say so mahself ). Anyway, a freelancer at my company complimented me on my natural hair. (I'm no fool. I know she was just fishing to see if I would "admit" that I wasn't.) I told her I was texlaxed (gasp! It's not a secret)... And she had the nerve to say "You know that's a relaxer, right?"

B i s h please!

I think a lot of natural women like to assume many texlaxed women don't know they aren't natural... the reality is, 99.9% of us are well aware & are more than ok with it.

Yes... people can rock kinky hair AND be openly relaxed at the same time. Life ain't fair

I have. The stylist set her hair on perm rods, then after drying under dryer, used fingers and a low-setting blow dryer to relax the curls. The result was still a bit poodley, but I saw her hair a few days later after the tightness of the curls had loosened even more and it looked like naturally curly hair.
