There is no such thing as “ good hair “ and “ bad hair “. Society created these perceptions of “ good hair “ and “ bad hair “. Afro textured natural hair is just as beautiful as straight hair and it’s important that we see more representation of afro textured hair.

I grew up in a black community and AAALLLLLL I knew was perm. My mom permed her hair, she permed my hair, my friends moms permed their hair, the women on tv had perms.. I thought that when my hair was natural that it was nappy and ugly, i couldn't put it in a ponytail and neither could my mom so she would sometimes use a hot comb (which burned me constantly) or she'd perm it. (which also burned my skin off constantly) It was kind of sad though, because my mom didn't know anything about our hair due to her being raised by a woman who knew nothing about our hair and so forth. As a result of generations of forced assimilation, we didn't know much about ourselves- I didn't even KNOW that my hair could curl! I always thought curls were for Hispanics, not black people. (Apparently, what i needed was a lot of moisture and some twists to manage the frizz lol.) Anyway, by the time i was in the eighth grade, most of my hair was gone and i had to cut it off and start over again- Now its longer than its ever been! I'm so glad that black people are embracing our natural, healthy hair now, and we're teaching each other how to properly care for ourselves.

I just followed the trend of relaxed hair since many girls and women were doing it and I stuck to it till I was in high school during my last two years I had this desire to try going natural. I finally did this year and I also never tried box braids. Both new things but I loved my experience with braids and I'm enjoying my experience with my natural hair now. It's entirely different from straight relaxed hair but I'm learning how to manage it and I feel happy and proud with it. I think it also helped that there's been such a shift over the last several years to go natural and also KZfaq has helped a lot.

@hazeldior6285 4 жыл бұрын

My mom wouldn't leave the perm long enough in my hair for it to straighten. Just long enough to be able to comb thru it bc i was tender headed af. But when i was. 13 i started going to the Domninican Salon and got a perm twice then just started getting wash and sets ever since. I also only go once a month to really let my hair grow out. I never died it either. I always had long hair and i think the stories of girls losing their hair to perms and bleaching scared me into not doing anything harsh to my head as i got older. And im glad i didn't bc my hair is still long and healthy.

I have 3c-4a hair and they praise my hair all the time because it is soft, so that makes it "nice" hair. I'll tell them that their hair is beautiful too, and they would laugh and say their hair is "too nappy" it's not soft like mine so they wear wigs.

She didn’t know how to deal with my thick/coarse hair. I had my first perm at age 2 and I got them constantly until I was 23. My husband asked me why I did the perms and I told him “bc my hair is nappy” he hates that word and was so heartbroken but made me realize that I had actually NEVER seen my natural hair. I started my natural hair journey and my hubby shaved my head lol. I’m 26 now and my hair 3c is healthier and longer than ever and I really love it. Even my mom is shocked bc during my journey she kept saying so many negative things about how I’d look like a nappy headed yellow slave. She’s still in denial though bc she accuses me of wearing a wig/curl activator as she says “you must be putting something in your hair now bc you’ve always had nappy hair so this isn’t natural”🤦🏻‍♂️

I was made fun of by my classmates since I was the only one who wasn't straight haired. I used to spend 1 hour and 1/2 straightening my hair everyday just so I'd fit in with people that didn't want me around. After high school I moved away from my hick town and lived in a bigger city where I finally felt free to just be myself. My hair doesn't make me stand out as much.

Chastian Cowans White people ( Esau ) and the other nations hate us because we are Gods chosen. If you have not heard the description of Christ it is written in revelations 1 vs 14 -15 “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they BURNED in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.” ‭Black people usually have woolly hair and dark / coloured skin. WHITE PEOPLE ARE RED / PINK. Also brass is a brownish metal and it’s burned which means Christ is a dark ( black man ).‬ We are the Israelites! Did you know the bible says black men and women are the most beautiful/ attractive on earth Wisdom of Solomon ‭13:3‬ ‭KJV‬ “With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them.” GOD is the author of beauty not the So called white man. He lied to everyone in the media telling us white woman and white men are the most beautiful/ attractive , because it’s part of white supremacy. The reason we are in this state is because we broke Gods laws many times and he punished us by making us serve our enemies. This is our last captivity so get your mind right and repent because if you are not keeping Gods laws then you will be punished and will burn eternally in hell.

So to clarify on the relaxer,When you get relaxers , it chemically straightens the hair for quite a few weeks (mine used to last for about 6 weeks, but it depends on how fast your hair grows) ....when your "new growth or roots " grows in that's when most people repeat the process and chemically straighten it with another relaxer to maintain the hair. When one chooses to relax their hair, it is important to keep your hair moisturized and hydrated because it is chemically processed it is more prone to breakage and becoming brittle. Relaxers have a deep history In the black community and is one of the many ways we choose to maintain our hairstyles. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Good hair is a hair that stays on the head through the entire life of the person. Hair is very very important. Protecting from cold and heat. On the top of that hair is indication of natural beauty, indication somebody's intelligence, strength, indication of health and other things.

To me, “good hair” is hair that you wash, comb and you keep up with so it’s healthy. You can style it, dye it, and do whatever else you want to it, as long as it’s healthy. “Bad hair” is the total opposite. If you neglect your hair, never wash it, brush it, or eat a healthy diet and exercise, your hair (and the rest of your body) is going to suffer. I don’t think anyone wants that.

Natural hair is dry and at times difficult to manage. Also, there are some businesses that will not hire women who wear their natural hair. They don't say it, but you realize that is the reason you're not getting the call back for the job or the promotion. That is like saying because Whites tan they want to be Black. No, they don't.

i'm literally going back in forth with this girl in comments on a youtube video. She is brown skin and says light skin girls bullied her because she had ''good hair'' she feels superior because of her hair and i told her all hair is good hair from 3a-4c down. That is really a stupid and embarrasing term in the black community. I'm a light skin black girl (zendaya's color, no i'm not mixed its genes) with 3a sandy brown / blonde hair with ginger brown strands (dyed btw) and i hate the term ''good hair'' because that's basically saying ohhh my hair is good and silky and non kinky so my hair is better than those girls with the 4a-4c hair. You can literally be dark skin , brown , skin , light skin with so called ''good hair'' and still be ugly because of your features. WE black girls do not need loose textured hair to be pretty. The girls with the 4a-4c hair is just as good as the girls with the 3 type hair. I've seen baddd brown skins , dark skins and lightskin girls rocking fro's. The girl is really ignorant and feels superior because of her ''silky'' hair. Just because you have loose textured hair doesn't make you the most beautiful person on earth and better than everybody. So please stop using the ''good hair'' term and if ''good hair '' is all you got that's valuable about you their is nothing extravagant about you.

I never seem to hear people talk about the lice issue when discussing "bad hair".? "Bad hair" for whites is stringy hair, thin hair, wavy hair, curly hair, nappy hair - whites have used Cream of Nature and other chemically hair straighteners for eons. "Waking up with the greasies". Greasy hair is "bad hair" in the white community. This also leads to flaky scalp, so much so it lands on clothing and can make ones appearance look "unkept" and "unclean". Uneven dye jobs, mismatched colors, overt coloring, or black roots with blond hair is traditionally seen as "not done" or "needs to be fixed". Seems a lot of people on this thread missed that in this discussion, as it went mostly unanswered. The professor purposely concentrated on what is considered bad hair in the ethnic cultures, yet totally glossed over it in the white culture. This was written to keep an even accuracy across cultures.
