      White supremacist? I can’t even process that line of thinking! I saw one natural hair video, where many of the women featured wore their hair down showcasing their curls and one fool commented that the styles were “too Caucasian”! 🤣

    I hate that that mainstream media has only shown us in one light. No hair, big noses etc y'all know what I'm talking about. In reality they NEVA wanted us to see the many BEAUTIFUL faces of our people. I'm a Cosmetologist and ALL hair grows that has a follicle. It takes people like Ms. Hampton and ourselves to look into our heritage to know the Queens and Kings within.

    hair is a natural extension of your soul. it's the buildup of skills and emotion. The more spiritual you are the more your hair grows. Cut your hair to start fresh and clean but dont cut too often. Building hair is emotional bodybuilding. The asian/japanese people have made this their culture.

    I'm a full Mbalantu from Outapi (a town in the Northern part of Namibia) and yes I 100% agree with you that we have long hair but I really never knew that our grand grand parents hair had such I great history and that it's styling meant a lot.. I think that tradition died long ago except the marriage history is still on where by once a girl reaches her early udulthood she would go for Olufuko (traditional wedding preparasions) but hair is not playing a role anymore. Also it's optional for a girl to go to olufuko now ( like she goes if she wants) back then it was a must. ( for more information about olufuko please search)

Pure Africans who should not be seen with western eyes but with african eyes. There is aa lot of untapped beauty in us when we wear western eyes , infact we see no beauty in us when we use western yardsticks. We are beautiful people

So for about 2 years my hair didn’t have any heat & I moisturized it, oiled it, put it in a single braid & wrapped it in a bun. It grew to my waist. My whole life it had been a little past my shoulders.
