good hair
Can somebody please tell me what in the hell is good hair?
I believe anything that is healthy and growing from your scalp is good and what God intended you to have. I have to rant about this because in the pastfew weeks I have heard this term so many times and it makes my stomach curl. Most people that know me know that I am a natural hair advocate I had a relaxer two out of my 23 years of life and it made my hairbreak off so I grew my hair back out. I'm not "SuperNappy" and am not going yell at you if you want to relax, texturize or do whatever wlse you want to your hair but PLEASE dont say some mess like "if I good hair I'd go natural too" or "you can talk because your hair isn't nappy" or even some "I hope my kids have some good hair like yours" ummm thats just ignorant.
I have all of my ancestors in my hair You look in the front on the sides there is some kink, on the back its curls, the front it's wavy, the midle has curly waves and kinks and there are even some straight pieces. Everything you want is in my hair. Does it make it any better then others no. I'm thankful that it grows and is healthy and thats why it;s good. On those days when I struggle with the comb and feel like cutting it off I'm not thinking about hair type.
We need to really erase this ignorance from our brains. We need to appreciate what was given to us. We all have things about our selves we don't like but that doesn't make it good or bad that makes us who we are.
