Tyra tackles Natural Hair vs. Weaves/Relaxers

These videos are of a show Tyra Banks aired a couple of years back about the way natural AA hair is perceived in our culture... There is even an AA mother who all but disowned her daughter because she decided to go natural... SMH

Being Preggo and Natural

I must say ladies it's hard being natural and -clears throat- "healthy", but even more so preggers.  
I find that I get a lot of compliments on my natural hair from non-naturals.  And since I have become pregnant again, I feel the need to take better care of my hair bc it's growing much quicker.  However, I have noticed a texture change in my hair.  I used to get it straightened a lot, but as we all know, that is a big 
NO NO
... So slowly but surely I am getting my natural texture back and cutting off the dead ends that had been straightened to death, literally.  I have found that consistently moisturizing my hair and not combing it "dry" is helping.

 But I wonder if anyone else has any tips:)

"Nappy" NEW YEAR

Hey all!
Like the title...lol it's just a play on words,but the truth is not all of us natural sisters technically have a "nappy" grain of hair.  I know a few Naturalistas who have soft, curly hair or thin, straight hair... The point is natural, in my opinion, is always best. T
And as you know natural to me just simply means wearing your hair that grows out of YOUR own head, relaxed or not. As we continue to make strides in hair image in our community it is important that we practice what we preach... 

I know that alot of natural sistahs wear protective styling and put weaves or extensions in their heads... To me this is counter productive! what do you think???
