Healthy hair is GOOD hair

I have kinky hair hair like the second pic, and I was always told it was bad hair because it wasn’t wavey and extra curly. Good hair is how you take care of it.

Good hair is healthy hair. Has nothing to do with texture/coil.

1st

Please ladies, PLEASE stop wearing those raggedy a$$ weaves that look fake as sh…

At least rock the joints that will make people think that’s YOUR hair…

Some of y’all be looking ridiculous with some of those joints that y’all be wearing… SMH

I agree. good hair is healthy hair. Hair that does what you want it to do on command. There is a misconception that white, spanish,mix raced people have “good Hair” when some of them have the worst hair I’ve ever seen.

All hair is good hair as long as it don’t stink

That’s easy, good hair is anything you spend good money on, whether it is good shampoo and conditioner or a good weave.

On a serious note, three weeks ago, I said to my daughter (who is almost 10 years old) if she wanted to have her hair done like the other girls at church (texturized, relaxed, etc.). You know what she said to me, ” No mom, I wanted to look like the same old Gabby.”

Two snaps. Put me in my place.

Good Hair is healthy hair!!..but now everyone buys good hair!!!

Any hair can be good hair if you take care of it. Problem is… most Black women don’t know how to take care of their natural hair. They only know how to deal with straight hair. I wish people would let this whole “white ideal” go. It’s 2009 for Godsake! Haven’t we accepted there is more than one type of beauty yet? Damn!

Its a stupid sterotype that has permeated our community. Good hair is any hair that is healthy and well cared for. Leave it at that.

It is all hair !! I get so tired of hearing someone say I got “good hair” Hell even when mine has crinkles (nappy) it is good hair to me cus it is clean and healthy!!

That’s so true, so many black women don’t understand how to deal with kinky hair. It’s your hair, get fimilar with it. I’ve been natural for 5 years and had to learn how to take care of it.

The only good hair bad hair statement or debate should be about if it is cleaned and taken care of not if it is straightend or if you have a weave or wig to look closer to a person from Europe. Blacks are the only ones on the planet that their God given hair is not considered good unless it is like a white persons. The Trina wigs and things of that nature make you look like a straight fool.

Good hair is having hair
Bad hair is not having hair

WEAVE needs to be BANNED.

We all know full well what good hair is….
Good hair is hair that’s softer than super kinky, coarse,hard to manage hair. It does’nt have to silky and wavy or long down your back…it’s a matter of manageability.

Good hair is healthy hair & healthy scalp… There’s good straight hair, good thick nappy hair, good red hair, etc… I’ve seen whites with bad hair, mixed people with bad hair, blacks with bad hair, etc….

We all know full well what good hair is….

No offense but I wouldn’t want indian in my blood… have you seen their hair they start to lose it at an early age. Balding in the front and shit.

another test

Bad hair… what the hell? Does good hair go to church while bad hair smokes a crack pipe and robs liquor stores? The hell does that even mean?

I think De Sade finally picked a better name, Satan.

interesting

good hair = healthy hair

@Satan

The only thing good about a black person’s hair is that it will fall out one day!
————————-

Looking at your gravie, looks like black people aren’t the only one with hair falling out.

LMAO at B*ill O*Reil*ly as Satan!

Should have done R*ush Lim*baugh

God says it All good…

Ya know, you alwayz hear mention of “GOOD HAIR” but I don’t recall ever hearing hair referred to as “Bad Hair” .

All I know is,…….if you got that nappy’ish that has your head snappin’ back and forth with every stroke of a comb,…..well then YOUR’ISH ISN’T “Good Hair”.

how do you make a gravie on this site anyhow? This is one of my fav’s and I feel my account is incomplete.

good hair is the indian hair that i bought a year ago that i am still using!!!!!!! LMAO

You already know

good hair or bad hair dont matter to me

as long as it looks good and healthy i dont see a problem.

overall no matter your hair texture if you don’t take porper care of your hair, it will be BAD!!!

Once again, there is one that is more ignorant than others! Back to your hole, Satan!

‘ImEngaged!!!

DEAD!!!

i heard that good ish bish!!! I got me a pony tail that I have in case of emergency still wrapped up like new

@Acacia I totally agree with you. You don’t have to be “mixed” to have good hair. Healthy hair is “good hair”. A perfect example of “good hair” is Oprah Winfrey, it’s all hers, she doesn’t wear a weave because she needs to, she wears a weave for the correct reasons because she wants to enhance the look of the style of her hair that day. Her hair is long and beautiful, as long as your hair is healthy, weather you have a perm, dreadlocks, short or long, as long as your hair is healthy. If you are going to wear a weave, perm or dreadlocks just make sure it is done by a professional because all these kitchen weaves and perms ain’t cutting it for black women. My mom is a cosmetologist and I am an esthetician and most of my friends are cosmetologist so I am blessed to have them around.

Aye yay yay I hate these topics

My mother-in-law says she got good hair, her hair aint never hurt nobody…LMAO…

OK, that was my corny one for today. I will put myself on time out….**leaves thread walks over to the corner***

Good hair is healthy hair. But I think what people mean when they say it is just that it is easier to manage.

Good hair doesn’t fall out during sex!!!

Let’s stop with this “good hair is clean hair” or “healthy hair.” Yall know damnn well good hair means hair that is not coarse/kinky/nappy, etc.

We cannot turn over generations of self hatred over in one night. Hell I know better. I hate the term myself, but it’s not going no where no time soon.

A black woman’s hair is truly her crown. Hell there’s plenty of black men/women that will not procreate with another black person depending on the grade/texture of their hair.

using a relaxer is my only flaw. And as much as the these men say they hate weaves, they’re the main reason black women wear them if you ask me. Yall damn sure don’t want us being natural. I have yet to come across a guy who isn’t anti-natural/locks.

im sorry yall but satan got my cracking up!!

keep it real, whites and blacks both have hair that requires help. they straighten theirs, blacks do too. theirs can be soft and silky or coarse and frizzy, and so can blacks. if anybody got natrually good hair its the handful of east indians born with it.

and stop with the locks, that isht aint natural either. that is a style that incorporates dead hair with living hair to make artificially long looking hair.

@ww

I hear that. East Indians have BEAUTIFUL thick heavy hair. And it just grows and grows.

@ Soul Ese
Good hair doesn’t fall out during sex!!!

I had to LOL!!

@wwand stop with the locks, that isht aint natural either. that is a style that incorporates dead hair with living hair to make artificially long looking hair.
————————————————
How do you come up with that assumption? when you lock your hair it doesn’t involve any chemicals.

My definition of “good hair” is natural hair that grows from your scalp- that you can manage/maintain.

BORING TOPIC!!! Tyra did the show to help her ratings. Good, Bad, Ugly… who cares. As long as you are not bald you are OKAY.

Well to me good hair is MY hair. It is healthy, natural, and apart of me. It is what God gave me and wanted me to have. Good hair is being able to LIVE without running from water (water is LIFE). Good hair is hair that is well taken care of no matter what your texture is. Trust me you can tell who takes care of their hair. Jill scott’s hair is natural and taken care of. Christina Milian’s hair is not taken care of. People fear what they dont know and sense most black girls get perms slapped on their heads they know nothing about the beauty of HAVING your own hair. They think natural hair is just an afro – when it’s not. It’s versatile. I date men of all races and every single one has loved my hair – except the black ones seemed to be more “accepting” because of the texture. I’d rather natural, strong, soft hair than a broken off mess of track glue, perms, braids, wigs, etc. It’s sexier. I can shower with my man without ducking from the shower lol and he can play and pull to his heart’s content. It sets me apart from the typical black female.

I am so tired of people bashing weaves. Okay, I understand that some sistahs rock the 18″ Indian Remy weaves, or the weaves in colors that aren’t found in nature. But some of us wear weaves because we have to. I went to a hairdresser about 3 years ago who completely destroyed my hair. By the time I discovered that she didn’t know what she was doing, my hair had either thinned or fallen out in various places. It has never grown back. I wear a weave in order to hide the damage that has been done to my hair, not because I want “good” hair, or because I think I’m white, or because I’m ashamed of my natural hair.
I love who I am as a Black woman and I also love the fact that I have the FREEDOM to wear my hair as I choose without having to defend myself.

@Niasia

Well I have very thick and coarse hair. I’m thankful that it’s very strong and even tho it’s been relaxed since I was a little girl, it hasn’t thinned or damaged. And the front is honey blond (don’t judge, I get major compliments because it compliments my complexion). However, I sooooo wanna stop relaxing my hair. But I am scared because it’s BLACK people who judge you the most. I was natural for 3 years while I was in college. NEVER HEARD THE END OF IT!

@ Whoa!

Why do you care about what people think? What leverage do their thoughts have over you? If it’s something you really wanna do then research it. You wouldnt have to cut all your hair off at once. There is a thing called transitioning where you gradually let new growth grow out and clip the permed ends. You can flat iron the new hair to make it blend.

@Joy

I know I know. I shouldn’t care what ANYONE thinks. But after a while it DID get to me. Even my own grandmother was constantly riding me about it. My mom has locs (she’s never been a hair person anyway, always loved to cut her hair off) and my grandmother hated it when she decided to grow them. I’m like HELLO, YOU’RE BLACK!!!

Here in NYC there are plenty of natural hair care salons. It can be time consuming tho, but you have a point. I hope one day I can gather the courage to go natural. I hate that I’m poisoning myself every 4 wks for the sake of straight hair.

The asians and indians are getting rich off of all you chics out there rocking fake hair and nails while y’all go broke using your rent to do your hair and nails smh good hair is healthy hair as has been said time and time again, i’m so glad to see there are people with sense that comment on this site

rough and tough afro puffs! are bad!!!!

soft hair nice!! hair!!

The little girl with the really long, thick hair mama needs to teach her how to flip her hair and the bird when the kids tell her she smell like boo-boo.

nappy hair is beautiful you can do just about anything with it. The kinkyness of it is what adds originality to the race itself not to mention the flava. They say its not good because it can’t be combed that’s fine because curly hair can’t be combed whether it be tightly coiled or loosely curled. Everyone is different and not meant to have straight limpy hair that gets hella greasy after it hasn’t been washed making the person wearing it look like a cave dwellers. Be proud of who you are nappy hair and all it’s beautiful, original, and can be styled however you like

@trexfrombollywood true!!!lol!! all races got good and bad hair but most black folks have nappy snapp! the afro comb unhappy hair!!

nappy hair is unhappy hair!! and you know this man!!

LMAO @ DiS…
A GiRL JUST TOLD ME iN THE SALON THAT i GOT “GOOD HAiR”…

Good hair is how well you take care of it. I’ve seen some white ppl with dry frizzy hair, mixed ppl with dry, spilt ended hair, and blk ppl with some dry, tough hair…..and asians with some stringy dry hair, indians with greasy looking hair…..
To Sum it up, good hair=healthy hair

Tyra is a jack ass, and her topics are always empty, and thoughtless…

lmao at all the people trying to go against black hair – form an army and go petition God.

@Niasia

Yes hon I know all about the Dominicans. I’m in NYC and I alternate between them and my black hair salon. I don’t get blowouts tho. I just get a wash n roller set and brush it out into a style. I see so many black girls in their in there faithfully every week getting their hair blown out because they want that “whip appeal.”

After a while, you see their hair start thinning out, the hair doesn’t “whip” anymore, and it’s breaking tremendously. I want to tell them, honey, you CAN NOT get blowouts all tyhe time. You’re smoking out your hair shaft. But some of them will never learn.

Like I said, I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Especially if I want to have kids one day since they’ve said it’s not good for pregnancy cause the chemicals from perms enter your bloodstream.

*sigh*

Anyone interested in good hair growt join Blackhairmedia.com…its the ish!

the hair you get is the hair you get my oldest son is high bright with comb breaking nappy a$$ hair and my youngest is black as night with pretty soft indain like hair that feels nice when I braid it what went wrong…. with the first son God tell me!!

i think good hair is healthy hair that is thick no matter what texture i stopped getting relaxers because my hair was falling out now it is healthy but but you see i have a problem my hair have been natural and i have no idea how to syle it i have been wairing relaxed hair since i was like 10 i am lost

Bad hair is when chics have bad weave jobs!!!!!

@Whoa Cosign

I don’t know where yall grew up, but pretty much all blacks know what “good hair” is hair that is not kinky or pretty much hair that does not need a straigtning comb, flat iron or relaxer, get off this good hair is healthy hair, whatever!!

Good hair means it is managed properly! Styles right, looking good. Not necessarily the texture!

I think red heads got some bad hair

I am not my Hair!

I am not this thing…i am the soul that lives within!

Alishia got some pretty a$$ hair whoopie got some bad a$$ hair

I’ve been natural since Nov 2006. I would never put a relaxer in my hair again. My hair is so verstialle. Right now I have it in an afro. I can wear my hair in braids, weave, and I’m going to get it blown dried straight by the Dominicans sometime during the fall. My hair is so much more healthier. One day my hair is going to be waistlenght and natural.

Funny thing though, once I went natural, I noticed that Black men stopped giving me attention. In fact, I get so many negative comments from Black people mostly Black men. Black men are some of the biggest hypocrites when it comes to hair/skin color. They are always claiming that they want a girl with natural hair or dark skin and always get mad when Black women wanna put weaves in their hair. But they would never give a woman with natural hair a chance. I haven’t been with a Black guy since I was natural. My current boyfriend is White and he loves my hair natural. He could careless. I just wanna know, why do Black men always try to tell Black women to go natural and yet they are disgusted by natural hair?

any hair

my hair is good!! soft thats why I can dis the nappys those nappy folks are making excuses for that bad a$$ hair

There are far too many happily ignorant people in the black race.

and weaves are good!!! nappy folks get some!!

My current boyfriend is White and he loves my hair natural. He could careless. I just wanna know, why do Black men always try to tell Black women to go natural and yet they are disgusted by natural hair?

———-

As long as you’re happy I wouldn’t worry about who is disgusted with it. Some people are molded by society and can’t think for themselves. They feed off of what everyone else is doing/thinking. Different strokes for different folks. I think some of the most beautiful women are natural. Bre, Nik, yaya, eva, jade and fatima from antm and countless other models in hollywood are natural. It’s all about how you take care of it and your own self confidence.

@NotYourAvg:
who side are you on the bad or the good!

ANy hair is good as long as the girl ain’t bald headed. I just like women that dont wear weave. My girl rocks a natural some times and I think its fly as hell. shes creative so she don’t do that weave Sh!t…Many girl come from that CURL generation and have forgotten or dont know how to fix there hair anymore, some just lazy broads..

Chance and real got good a$$ hair India ARIE DONT

JOY J/K I BET YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR AND ARE A BEAUTIFUL STRONG BLACK WOMAN. I JUST MADE FUN OF YOU BECAUSE I KNEW YOU COULD HANDLE IT. I APOLOGIZE, I’M SORRY AND I WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU AND DISCUSS THIS TOPIC WITHOUT ALL MY FOOLISHNESS…DO YOU ACCEPT?

Why do people act like Black women are the only one who wears weaves or tracks?

I KNOW WHAT “GOOD HAIR” IS……

THE KIND THAT A COMB CAN GO THROUGH!

GOOD HAIR IS WHAT WE BLACK PPL CLASSIFY AS “STR8 HAIR – LIKE WHITE PPL HAIR” – ITS A SAD INJUSTICE TO BLACK PPL THAT SOCIETY PROMOTES STR8 HAIR AS “GOOD HAIR” AND KINKY OR NAPPY HAIR AS BAD HAIR WHEN THEIR BOTH NATURAL.

YOU ONLY NEED TO LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF BLACK WOMEN THAT USE CHEMICALS TO GET THEIR HAIR STR8 – ITS VERY SAD!

I’m mixed race (latin, black AND white) and this ish has always interested me. I agree with what most on here are saying: good hair= healthy/loved hair.

My hair is naturally VERY curly and that is the only way I’ve EVER worn it. I straightened it for the first time in 27 years 2 months ago and I have to say I was shocked at what I heard from friends and co-workers. Apparently…straight hair made me more “approachable and nice-looking” LOL, really? WTF is wrong with society and this idiotic belief that if hair isn’t sleek and straight it isn’t “good”?
I say love your sh*t ’cause you will be very disappointed if you look for others to love it for you.

*singing*

that’s-why-i-don’t-date-those-hypocritical-black-men-no-siree!

I-just-get-me-a-white-boy-and-it’s-all-good-to me!

I’ve been natural since ’05 and I wont go back to a relaxer, sadly though I cant stop dying my hair though. Although my hair keep growing, I still take care of it like I should, in between visits to the shop. and ladies you DO NOT have to chop all of your hair off to go natural, because I didnt and my hair is beautiful and healthy. Just keep taking care of it, you’ll be fine:)

****SUPPORT OUR TROOPS****

good hair is healthy hair!

@We “Blacks” Are The REAL Hebrew Israelites
I am from the tribe of Yahuda” and Israelites come in all shades and good hair is soft hair.. that real nappy Ham’s folks hair is not cool boo… Israelites hair is like soft sheeps wool not s.o.s pads

There is nothing wrong with wearing weaves!!! Someone people of other races prefer to spend their money on plastic surgery, some spend their money on false hair!! Society is consumed by looks… sad but true!!!! All women are beautiful especially BLACK WOMEN

i guess we still gotta alot of work to do on our self-image as a people.

i love my hair and it aint the old school definition of “good”. i used to feel ashamed of my hair. then several years ago, i lost a big big chunk of it. then i got my mind right and realized the beauty of my hair. i straighten my hair because my hair skills are terrible, but i don’t color it. feel sorry for my daughter, y’all, since she’s stuck with me doing her hair. she has gorgeous, nappy, fluffy, fine, shiny brown hair. but of course we live around a bunch of pink toes so she wants “down” hair. i’m always complimenting her on her hair.

Super human, well it doesn’t matter I’m sure you love both your sons. All Black guys have extremely nappy hair, lol. Some do some don’t, lol.

Opps, I meant all Black guys don’t have extremely nappy hair, lol.

BigTyme

Why do people act like Black women are the only one who wears weaves or tracks?
_____________

Every woman does something to enhance their look its what it is..and for the life of me I don’t knw why its cool for some and not for others….Kim k doesn’t wake up looking like she does every morning neither does halle or angela basset

YALL KNOW THAT ISN’T HALLE’S REAL HAIR THAT SHE’S CURRENTLY ROCKING BUT i DON’T HEAR PEOPLE CRITICIZING HER YET WE ALSO KNOW THAT ISN’T EVA DA DIVA’S HAIR EITHER BUT I READ A LOT OF HATE COMMENTS

YOUR HAIR IS A REFLECTION OF YOU THOUGH I DO COSIGN A BAD WEAVE IS JUST A BAD WEAVE DOESN’T MATTER THE RACE

ANYWAYS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION WE ALL KNOW WHAT GOOD HAIR IS “SUPPOSE” MEAN ITS BASICALLY THE POOL TEST TO SOME PEOPLE

No need to have indians blood to have curly or wavy hair. If only you know more about the diversity of Black people (skin tone or hair texture), you would know that in Africa (be Central, West, East, South) you have people with coarse, wavy, curly hair.. with no mix heritage. Ignorance about your own community make people make the worst assumptions. Hey, there are also people with brown, grey and blue eyes syndrome in Africa. Therefore whatever you guys in the US are now is just a reflection of what has always existed in Motherland… don’t just stuck to the stereotype (broad noses, thick hair, dark sienne complexion) and thinking that curly hair or light skin in your family is only due to mixing. DNA evolves for sure but the point is, you can find the same type of people (features, hair…) with all diversity you have in US in Africa. That says alot about so called mixing and close the discussion on good/bad hair… which is just a way to once again draw the line between Black that are said to be more African and those who are more close to the Caucasian models. For your information, in Motherland, you will find whatever you have there in the US or Caribbean. Check the Tuaregs, Fulanis, Khoisan, Ethiopians, Somali, Sudanese… and so on (Most of them have curly/coarse hair, thin noses, small lips, dark or light complexions, green, blue, black, brown eyes… And for information, they have no history or mixing except within the ancient and different tribes. Poverty and eurocentrist propaganda deepen ignorance. Do not fall for that. Whatever Black Americans or Caribeens are today has nothing different from what was, is and will be in Motherland. Caucasian or other human groups DNA has never impacted that much otherwise, there will be no Black people today. Just how we evolve with our much diverse set of feature, hue, hair texture…

we are hebrews:
Sometimes we think we know something to be true in fact it is not!!!
just like you think I am a dude,”I am a woman” you are wrong about me and maybe you are wrong about thinkng nappy hair is cool… Look at africa closely a lot of them have beautiful hair and are indeed hebrews! now look at the africans that we know are not hebrews nappy very unhappy hair .. lol..

Good hair is whatever makes you feel good. If it is straight, kinky or curly and you like it for yourself and not what others think then it is good. I’m natural myself (never had a perm because I didn’t want one and because I don’t care what others think). As long as I like it everyone else should love it, lol.

No such thing as soog hair. Healthy Hair is good hair. Coming from a PROFESSIONAL Stylist

mixing with ham seed give hebrews rough tough stufff!

the bible (torah) tells who is Hamite and who is hebrew

@ trexfrombollywood

if your hair look like Rick Ross beard…you aint got good hair

Whoa!

Let’s stop with this “good hair is clean hair” or “healthy hair.” Yall know damnn well good hair means hair that is not coarse/kinky/nappy, etc.

We cannot turn over generations of self hatred over in one night. Hell I know better. I hate the term myself, but it’s not going no where no time soon.

A black woman’s hair is truly her crown. Hell there’s plenty of black men/women that will not procreate with another black person depending on the grade/texture of their hair.

using a relaxer is my only flaw. And as much as the these men say they hate weaves, they’re the main reason black women wear them if you ask me. Yall damn sure don’t want us being natural. I have yet to come across a guy who isn’t anti-natural/locks.
_________________________________________________________
No centuries of self hatred will not go away over night but it will happen if people like you would stop spreading it. Many people’s views are changing and many people’s concept of this term is changing and instead of basking in that you would rather be the crab in the barrel. You are contributing to the problem. You obviously are one of those people you speak about b/c I have met many black men who LOVE natural hair. So stop blaming men for what women chose to do with their hair. Granted it may play a part but you can’t put it all on them. As far as you using a relaxer being your only flaw, well that lets me see and better understand why you are so screwed up. You think you’re perfect.

I agree with many other posters. Good hair is hair that is healthy. I know plenty of biracial people who while their hair is very curly, wavy, etc it is no easier to comb or style than anyone else w/o the use of some styling tools and products. It really is time we got over this. WE are the ones that are keeping it going.

SuperHuman,
Well seems to me like you have something against overly nappy hair. Sounds like a personal problem to me. *shrug*
I just know nappy hair wasn’t EVER considered ugly until recently in Earths history. Some of the most beautiful and gravity defying styles can only be obtained by having extremely nappy hair. You claim to know so much about Hebrews. I suppose you can trace your heritage to Yahuda because you have all the documentation, right? That somehow your documentation survived the Middle passage. How do you know who is Hamite and who is Hebrew? Hamites were brought here too. It is folly to try to disentangle yourself from something just because you find it undesirable. If it makes you feel better to say that Hebrews can’t have extremely nappy hair, then that’s on you. I prefer to go by The Word and The Word says nothing about Hamite hair verses Hebrew hair. I don’t even know if I MYSELF am truly a Hebrew. For all I know, I could be a Hamite. That’s why we are called the LOST house people of Israel. I know that Hebrews were black…anything beyond that is semantics. And I am intelligent enough to know that I do not know everything. Hebrews could have had straight hair or loosely waved? Why not tightly curled? No offense, but you sound like you’ve internalized European ideals. Is nappy hair really that repulsive to you? Really? It’s like that?

To all you brothers and sisters with VERY nappy hair, I just want to say this to you. You have a right to the inheritance that Yeshua left you. If another Black person tells you that you are not Hebrew because your hair is “too” nappy (whatever the hell that means) then they are teaching you false doctrine. They are no better than the pink people who tell you that they are better than you because the dead crap that grows out of your skull is “different” from the dead crap that grows out of theirs.

When it comes down to it. It is all an argument over something that is dead. LOL..and no one can see the irony in it.

*Just shaking my head*

if you gotta raise yur eyebrows just to put your hair in a ponytail..
you might wanna consider gettin a weave

trexfrombollywood, are your black? Is the bollywood portion of your name indicative of East Indian ethnicity? If it is, your use of the n word and derogatory “humor” aren’t just in poor taste, but racist.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH@pm

You ALWAYS get me!! Boy you’re raw!!!

XD

GOOD HAIR OR IS THAT YOUR HAIR? IS SOMETHING THAT THE BLACK COMMUNITY HAS TO STOP! I DONT GIVE 2 SH*T IF YOU ROCK A WEAVE, A RELAXER, A TEXTURIZER OR WHATEVER, CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT…ITS YOURS. IF YOU WANT TO SET IT ON FIRE AND RUN AROUND THE MALL PARKING LOT, GO RIGHT AHEAD, DONT BOTHER ME.

ONE THING THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHY SO MANY BLACK WOMAN PUT CHEMICALS IN THEIR HAIR. MANY BLACKS WONDER WHY THEY ROCK THE WEAVE CAUSE THEIR HAIR DONT GROW CAUSE TEXTURIZERS AND RELAXERS BREAKS THEIR HAIR OFF. NOW I AINT A NATURAL NAZI, CAUSE LIKE PREVIOUSLY STATED I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO, BUT WHY SPEND ALL THIS MONEY TO ROCK ALL THIS FRIED, DYED AND LAYED TO THE SIDE HAIR. DAMN NEAR LIKE 80% OF AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE CHEMICALS IN THEIR HAIR. IS IT CAUSE WE LIKE IT OR CAUSE WE ARE FOLLOWERS AND CONFORMING TO A EUROPEAN STANDARD OF BEAUTY?

NATURAL SINCE MAY 2008 AND LOVIN IT, KINKS KURLS AND ALL. DO U…

GOOD HAIR IS LONG WEAVES WORN BY WHITE CELEBRITIES IN THE WHITEWASH MEDIA !!!!

@DATPHILYGIRL…i’m not white. i’m just goofy as hell.

Black people are the most unique people on the face of this earth. Everything about us is diffrent from our hair to our different skin tones but instead of lovin and embracing the fact that God choose to make us so diffrent we try to tear each other down and believe all these stupid sterotypes that are about black people. I love being black and i wish other black people would too.

Anybody can have good hair if they take care of it. Go type up keepitsimplesista or hairlista and you’ll see thousands of women with “good hair”. Good hair can be achieved with co-washing, coconut oils, and other natural oils. Reduced heat styling and stretch relaxers.

@Jena4rmthablock

Hey hair twin. I been natural since May ’08 too. Ain’t it great?? No more burning scalps, hours under a dryer, or running from water. Freedom at its best.

A pretty good site for natural hair products is: goingohm.com
It’s a bit expensive ($15.00 each for shampoo and conditioner and I forgot what I paid for the “sweet pudding” hair moisturizer) but it doesn’t dry your hair out like a lot of over the counter hair products

Good hair is when you can go a day without combing it, and not have a kitchen all in the back of your head.

check me out!!!!

I have good hair, lol

Good hair is when you can sleep without a scarf and get up the next morning and shake your head, and look as if you just came from the shop.

I happen to love my thick azz hair! It’s coarse and it is good. We are the only race who have versatility with our hair. Our hair actually provides us with more protection from the sun as does the melanin in our skin. It’s sad that some of us can’t see our true beauty.

As a locked black woman (9 years and counting) I can tell you that I have no shortage of men who wanna rock this thang, okay?

My locks are 18 inches long and the brothas are FASCINATED at their length and the care I give to them.

Some females are jealous and self-hating when they see them and after nine years of growing my locks, I still don’t get it. It’s like they resent me for showing them how beautiful natural hair is.

When I first started twisting my hair, everyone screamed, it was like I was joining some cult or something! But now that I’ve had them for so long, people around me accept that I’m going to wear my hair this way.

How deep is self-hatred and self-loathing in our community? When I first started locking my hair I thought I would have to get a CCW for the negative Black people who wanted to beat me up! No one could understand my journey into my own blackness and questioned my decision to look like God made me.

After all, who likes naps? They’re ugly, right? I heard “You need a perm”, “You got nice hair, why are you messing it up?” “Are you going to keep it like that?” “Can you take those out?”, etc. I once had a woman with the most HIDEOUS weave in America tell me that her “hair” was “better” than mine. I asked her what her natural hair looked like and she explained to me that it looked like mine but she felt that weave hair was an improvement. An improvement over the way God made you? I asked. She said that God had made a mistake, she was supposed to have Indian hair instead of the hair she had.

In the year 2000 I decided that for the second thousand years of my soul that I would live the way my Creator created me: beautiful, strong, Black and nappy!

After losing my hair to lupus and having it grow back six months earlier than the doctors told me it would through prayer and faith, I could never, ever go back to chemical straighteners. This discussion got me thinking about the day I decided to go natural and threw all my hair care products away. For one head I had a cardboard box full of shit: 2, 3 conditioners, heat styling shit, hair sprays of all kinds, gels and lotions, shampoo up the wazoo, all kinds of chemicals to maintain a chemical look.

Now I just used shampoo, conditioner, olive oil and tea tree when my scalp gets itchy and it’s all good.

YOU CANNOT PAY ME TO EVER AGAIN WEAR A CHEMICAL PERM OR A WEAVE. IT’S UNNATURAL, AND DAMAGING.

I love being nappy and wouldn’t change it for the world.

Well, actually white women need to invest in a flat iron too because that mess on their heads ain’t all that good. It’s those Asians who have the pretty hair. White women have stringy, dingy, lifeless…well, I’m just sayin…lol

———————————–

LOL. True, I should have taken that out cause I even said in the same post I know white chicks who iron their hair.) But you know what? I am not lying, I have had Asian chicks tell me they wish they had my curls. Their hair is BONE straight and no matter what they do, no curl is going to take.

Now I won’t lie, I’d trade my curls in a heartbeat for bone straight hair because that’s just my preference, but it goes back to what I said before..women with straight hair want waves or curls. Women with curls and/or waves want straight hair. No woman is happy with her natural hair. If they could trade it in for something else, they would.

I happen to love my thick azz hair! It’s coarse and it is good. We are the only race who have versatility with our hair. Our hair actually provides us with more protection from the sun as does the melanin in our skin. It’s sad that some of us can’t see our true beauty.
___________________________________________________

All thick hair is not coarse. My daughter’s hair is thick, but it is very soft and curly. I doubt that you will walk around with thick, coarse hair and no relaxer. I mean, some people do, but it’s a matter of personal taste. I don’t think this has to do with not loving one’s self. I have really fine, curly hair. People consider my hair as a good grade of hair, but I think it’s often unmanageable. I wear it naturally curly, or I press it it and wear a body wrap. However, I must say that if my hair was thick and coarse, I would definitely get a relaxer. There’s nothing wrong with thick, coars hair so don’t get me wrong, but it’s a problem when the hair is thick, coarse and nappy. That’s when the problem occurs…

The good hair bad hair thing is just another tool white people used to degrade black people.It looks like we fell for it cause now we degrade ourselfs.

I agree with the previous comments that healthy hair is good hair. Also people should not be condemned for their hair choices. For some people wearing extensions allows them to be creative without destroying their own hair. There is nothing wrong with relaxers, weaves, or being natural as long as it is a personal choice and it is not done out of self hate. I also agree with Marc B Honey that most people are not going to walk around with their coarse hair…Also guys who claim that they hate weaves will often walk straight pass the natural girl for the girl with the big booty and long flowing weave…..so be real ..

A healthy scalp produces healthy hair. It all starts with the scalp!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as good and bad thats just sum b*llsh*t. My hair is way past the middle of my back, I get a relaxer every 4 months. Since I get a perm is my hair bad, or because its long is it good? Neither just keep your scalp healthy, stop using so much product and lastly WRAP IT UP AT NIGHT!!!!

Good Hair is Kinky Hair; Hair that be in styled in any hairstyle imaginable. Let’s face it only those people with Kinky Hair can get a real hairstyle. Without Kinky Hair we would have to settle for a Cut and Color like everyone else. LOL.

My bi-racial daughter has what some would consider kinky hair. It was adorable in a little afro but totally unmanageable. I was hell bent on going 100% natural, no chemicals until the hairdresser said that the pull and tug, constant putting in ponytails was doing more damage then treating it. I used a texture “softener” , not a texturizer or relaxer– teh softener is low in chemicals. It kept her curl but I can at least COMB her hair without her being in tears or the hair breaking off. U only have to use it about every 4 mos. Her hair is healthier now than when it was natural and more manageable

Everybody baldheaded nowadays. You look at black people and their hair 100 years ago and it was think, long, yet kinky natural hair. The chemicals that we have in our hair and in our food is the reason why even white ppl barely have hair anymore. White girls be rocking weaves now too.

I can’t believe that after all this time, the term “good hair” is still being used.Can we (especially my black sistahs and brothas) let the “other persuasions” have this term. If the rest of society refuses to live in the 50′s and 60′s, can WE (at least) progress?

I meant to type “refuses to LEAVE the 50′s and 60′s.”

I mean, DAMN!!!

We’ve gone from Nigg@s, to coloreds, to blacks to African Americans.

Didn’t WE have something to do with those terms?

LOOK HERE THE ONLY GOOD HAIR IS THE HAIR I CAN NUT IN AND IT DONT RUN DOWN YOUR CHEEKS, BRILLO HAIR…..NO REALLY !!

SERIOUSLY GOD HIMSELF IS DESCRIBED IN DANIEL 7:9 AS HAVING HAIR LIKE WOOL ….IF YOU HAVE THAT HAIR YOU HAVE THE BEST HAIR THATZ OUTTA THIS WORLD ….. THE AFRO BLKPPL IS THE BEST HAIR!

Hi Glok!

I’m reading some of these comments and let me let you know that I…am….truly….amazed!!!

On one hand, I’m hoping some of these posters that are explaining the old adage of good hair/bad hair is truly older because to think that the younger generation feels this way saddens me. I honestly thought that we as a people have progressed.

On the other hand, if they are truly the older folks, why is it that you can’t see outside of your box and explain the realness of “good hair?”

Yeah, WE KNOW what THEY mean when THEY refer to “good hair” but do we need to hang onto “their interpretation like a chain around our neck???

Is this something that another race threw upon us and we’re too ignorant to proudly decline??

SMH!!!

I am truly amazed in this forum tonight. I guess this explains the reason I almost always deviate from the topic.

Some of these comments sadden me.

Good hair is hair that can grow-period.
Now if your hair will not grow then you have bad hair!!

Thinking even more about hair–

Why is Beyonce doing a shampoo commercial about hair when in fact that hair she’s reppin’ is not hers?

Just wondering. And Tyra–

You guys are still reppin’ this fake a$$, talentless broad? I’m just trying to figure out how she devoted a whole, entire show to hair when in fact, she’s done so much damage to her hair from chamicals, wigs, weaves, and lacefronts that her hairline now starts behind her ears!!

Eff youm Tyra! Supahead pulled your card and Naomi confirmed it!

Yup!! A phony and a punk!

well God made me with kinky hair so i know its good like everything about me: only good stuff~
I just wanted to know if the man who are laughing at woman for having natural kinky hair laugh at their own hair cause you know your own hair is nappy too!

embrace it an LOVE YOURSELF!

^5!

@glok

true : it is our CROWN! we are th eonly people in this earth who have hair like that! Other races have straight hair but GOD decide to give us different hair. He gave us thick bodies, thick hair, and our land is the most resourceful on this earth either! AFRICAN, AFRICAN AMERICAN STAND UP!

OK–^5 again!!

good hair to me is hair that is healthy and grows well. many people in the black have been misled into thinking long straight hair = true beauty. many of the celebs are wearing extensions and most black women are doing the same.

Hey Diva! How you doin’?

I have been wearing my own natural hair for a couple of years now, tried weave once many moons ago, and rocked braids off and on for a while. I have learned that good hair is hair that isn’t falling out in patches, breaking off, and shedding all over the place. It can be curly, kinky, nappy, silky, wavy, etc. We need to stop being so obsessed with our hair texture, and concentrate on what is inside.

I wear a fro now, and it does not affect how I am treated in the workplace. I get treated based on how I carry myself, and I get much respect. Men who are attracted to me want the real me, and I don’t have to keep up a front to keep him. Besides, men are always complaining about fake women, and how the woman they have now wasn’t the same one they met. Kinda like getting mad at a McRib sandwich because it was shaped like ribs but ain’t real ribs.

@ BabyDoll2u–

Very good post, sweetheart.

Very good post!

**Gosh there is hope for us yet**

@babyDoll2U: Well said, well said…

ROZZIE ROZZZZ!!!

Howya been?

I’m going to hang out a minute tonight.

You staying in here?

@Diva: I like the topic, no ugliness going back and forth. Could hang out a minute. How is it going?

*standing ovation for Ms 1TruDiva*

so in the words of JadaKiss…AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
SMDH

Healthy hair is good hair.

Thanks Rozza and TruDiva…

I defintely do not envy the wearing of hot-assed wigs and weaves, especially in the summer. Makes my scalp itch just thinking about it.

Natural hair gives you the freedom to enjoy the elements, enjoy “extracurricular activies”, and have a “wash-n-go” type life. After getting rid of chemical processes in my hair, in six months any dandruff I had cleared up, and my hair was softer and manageable. Of course I conditioned like crazy through those times but it has paid off tremendously.

I agree with whoever said Beyonce doesn’t belong on a hair commerical. She stays wearing a lacefront wig. I guess Lo’Real dyes those?

ROTFLMAO @ black lady–

For someone that has *ahem* “good hair” why do you sound so angry?

Shouldn’t waking up every morning to “good hair” put you in a more positive mood?

I’m just asking….

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Glok–

That b*tch is the bidness!! I never knew the hairline trigger was just that–A hairline trigger!!!

It’s easy to pop off six or seven with the quickness if you don’t catch yourself!

black women hair can be heatly but every body hair is not good thats something your born with as a black woman.

@ black lady,

yes coarse hair grows better. hOWEVER iDK what being light skinned has to do with good or bad hair. Are you saying you have white in you rblood line. My sister is light skin and her hair are corse. we have the same father and the same mother but she is 3-4 shades lighter than me and her hair are exactly the same as me. So unless you from ethipis or north africa, your ancestors are coming from WEST AFRICA for the most and their hair were kinky! SO im sure you must have some white/indian/arabain whatever blood in your hair.

i look more mix then mix women but im all black and thats what people dont like. my skin is ligher then hoops and my hair is way longer middle ways down my back and its better her hair dont look all that. people dont commment me on good hair im speaking on my hair that is good my mother and her mother and her grandmother and my aunt.

i forgot olive oil and avocado oil…

@ black lady,

i understand what you are saying but the whole point of the discussion is to defined what is ocnsidered good or not! Your hair might be until the end of your back but for all i know they could be discusting looking? Do you understand me. Your hair are not better than kinky just because they are longer. Are you talking about the texture??? because they are softer. Well my hair are kinky but really soft like wool! so to me, your hair are not better than mine. they might be longer but im not sure they are not necessary healthier than mine. that’s all…

@tunie
Long hair doesnt mean the hair is “good” or healthy, a person can have damaged long hair, so please cut the crap!

well most people from west /central african countries have kinky hair. if you go to east africa in some part like ethiopia, their hair are curlier and finer but they are mixed with arabian already, their skin is even different. If you go to north africa (arabaian and black i guess), women tend to have more curly hair than straigth. I know lots of arabian women who use relaxers, some others like the kabyle have fine european silky hair. So basically if you are black, african, your hair are more likely to be kinky coarse! Maybe not 100% but i can bet its more than 80%

to define*
considered*

if you guys have the time, go take a look at miss jessie website, the before after pics and look how you can go to kinky form curly without no harsch chemicals. its actually really nice…

@ black lady–

All I’m trying to get you to understand is–

YES–the term “good hair” WAS INDEED used in ways to “rank” our people so to speak. However–haven’t we progressed enough as a people to widen the term to good hair equating to healthy hair?

The way rationalionize your “good hair” sets us back many years.

In one of my earlier posts, I used the terms of how we changed what we’re referred to as an example.

Question–If someone approached you and verbally referred to you as a “black gal” or negra woman”, would you accept that without the slightest of an attitude or should they deem you acceptable because of the “grade” of your hair?

To some white people–no matter how “light” we are or how long our hair flows, at the end of the day–we’re still ni&&ers!

Real talk, hun!

I’m not asking you to agree, I’m hoping you understand.

@ rozza, i agree

I don’t mean no harm, but WHAAAAA….? What are you talking about?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sad part about it is, this young lady is actually sincere in her thoughts–that’s why I refuse to attack her. It’s not like she’s someone in here trying to get a rise out of us!!

SMH!!

ROZZA you STILL crazy!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your just jealous

That’s that willie lynch syndrome.

Also black people, stop calling our hair nappy! Just say it’s super curly.

@Black Lady: Maybe you get along with them becuase you may subconsciously have a chip on your shoulder with some African American women. Reminds me of the “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful” commercials. If you didn’t bring attention to your looks, and made that all about who you are, then you wouldn’t get what you perceive as hate. I don’t hate on women because of their looks, because I think I’m pretty fly but I will avoid conceited insecure ones who can’t get past their own appearances.

Besides, it’s just hair. If you woke up tomorrow and it was ALL on your pillow, could you get up, rub some oil on your bald head, tie on a fly scarf, and keep it moving? I can…

I have the good ole bamma hair and I am just now starting to embrace it.

@ black lady–

I’m reading your posts and I’m beginning to understand some of your rationale.

I do agree that SOME sistahs do give us the side eye and “hate” but honey let me let you in on a little secret–

BREAK ‘EM DOWN!!!!!!

When I see that I get “those looks?” I actually take the time to find something positive in them and compliment them on it.

For instance–”Girl, I really like your bracelet” or “Girl–you rockin’ the hell outta that pocketbook!”

You’d be surprised at how you can turn a negative situation into a positive one.

At the end of the day–if someone’s going to hate then, let them waste that energy in doing so. You don’t have to fall into anyone’s trap because you don’t fit a set of standards their bound by!

Help me help YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

about time some one can see what im saying black women come on blogs acting like light skin dont have good hair all dont have it cause there some light with nappy hair but this is where it comes from.

So this is where some people are at!

I wish someone would walk up to me with the nerve to say “you got that good hair.”

@Black lady, I don’t know what the hell you are talking about. I have 3 sister-in laws that are all bi-racial (mexican and black) and one of them are bald headed. That’s like saying all light-skin women are beautiful, I could think of a few that are not attractive at all. I have a carmel complexion and my hair is middle length and my hair is very, very , very soft. I don’t wear a perm and I can wear my hair curly or straight without any chemicals or without it getting all puffy when you press it. I bet when you press your hair it won’t stay straight, you would have to get a perm to make it stay straight or get a “hard press” because your hair won’t stay straight, I can gaurantee your hair doesn’t stay straight for more than a day. You have to remember I have 3 sister-in laws who are mixed and there hair doesn’t stay straight and they always tell me ” I would die for your hair”. They love my hair, my hair is fine, soft and I am not mixed with anything, even though I get ask if I am mixed all the time because my hair becomes so straight with just a little heat. I love my hair, they only thing I don’t love about my hair is that it is fine, so sometimes I wear pieces for thickness. If I don’t put a few pieces in my hair it won’t hold a curl but other than that, I am not bald headed, I am not mixed but to other people they put me in the same boat as yourself, they think that I am mixed, so you can’t say good hair comes from light-skined women sweetie. Both of my parents are dark. So explain that. I bet if you saw me you would be asking what are you mixed with too.

@ black lady–

It’s not that bloggers don’t understand you, sweetheart. What some of the bloggers can’t or refuse to reduce themselves to is the terminology of “good hair”–at least the old folks version of what good hair is.

Sweetheart- I have a diversity of people that report directly to me meaning, they come from all over the world: all shades, textures and degrees of hair!!

When I look at hair–I don’t equate good hair with a specific texture or grade. If it’s healthy, and not falling out in patches or you’re not standing over my desk flaking dandruff and, you actually take the time and energy to make your hair healthy and manageable, then that’s good hair!!

Long hair going down your back does not necessarily mean you have good hair.

I think that’s what some (including myself) are trying to get you to understand.

Brb…

**going to check the medicine cabinet for some Advil**

Lol @ Z–

I can’t be mad at you after that comment!!!

Lol!!!!!!!!

@Diva: The fish sticks reference was from a South Park episode that made fun of Kanye West. But even though my dog like vegetables, he might stage a hostile takeover if he didn’t get any meat!

Hey Z! All hail the Queen!

@ Black lady–

No! We can discuss without belittling, sweetheart!

I may not agree totally with you but I do respect your sincerity AND your opinion.

@black lady oh yeah a perfect example of light-skin doesn’t mean you have “good hair” is Beyonce. Her hair is nappy as hell and so is her sister and her mother’s. You remember how they hair looked when Destiny child first came out. THEY WERE BUSTED!!!! I am glad her mother is not doing her hair anymore. LOL.

1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals!!!™. The Jennifer Hudson concert was off the MEATRACK!!!!

good hair is not heathly hair thats not the term of that. thats not what good hair means. nappy hair when black women take care of they hair in its nautral state and treating it right then they hair type change cause nautral is where you should be to get a better understanding of what your hair can do and how it grows and what hair styles to try or whatever. heathly hair is naural hair that what heathly hair is not good hair.

black Hebrew:

I hear you.. but I am not for straight dog hair either..that sh*T is gross! I would take the s.o.s pad hair first.. before that Sh!t..
all I am saying is that in my eyes the nappy beedy balls,, I am not feeling it to be good looking hair…. it may be the best in the west..
I like soft hair with a curl it looks great! to me..do you know the numbers in hebrew? hit me up.. one thing read it like you would read the torah do it (*right*)=key word you are pretty bright you will get it right!!

i cant speak for tomany black women stars all they wear is weave i love beyonce but she is weaveable too. most black women stars say they hair is growing in the black hair books but yet dont never show it.

Forget good hair/bad hair, what I can’t get past is the lack of basic writing skills and education of a certain poster.

@Sanjor!

Amen! AMEN!!!!

LMAO

@Z: Imposters were so blatantly fake – even the writing style was obviously not you. How you been?

Things have been a pleasant surprise since I returned to NY. I have a new handsome professional in my life, but I won’t reveal to many details about him for fear of others running with the information.

weaveable?!! WTF!!!

@Z: Yay! I will toast you and your new HP! Tequila for everybody! If you are over 21, of course…

@black lady I am talking about Beyonce’s hair, stay on the topic. I can care less about her successful as a matter of fact I am happy for her. If you haven’t read any of my post before. I will let you know I am married with no children, I am 33 years old and I live in a beautiful home in a great neighbor hood. So I am not hating on her success. I don’t have children and people ask me all the time, when are you gonna have some kid? Why don’t you have any children? So I know what she is going through. I don’t want any kids now, even though my clock is ticking, LOL but I tell people not now. Anyways we were talking about her hair. She has some nappy hair and so does her entire family. I just know I love my hair and a lot of light-skin women tell me that they would die for my hair.

@Sanjor: Is that a line from Pootey Tang?

@Sanojor

I think you and I are the only two picking up on this… because I’m laughing my a** off! I mean… on the one hand it’s funny. But on the broader spectrum it’s kind of sad because she really does seem oblivious! Damn.

I thought it was beat around the bush??

@Black Lady,
Ok, I’m going there. Black Lady, precious darling, you do realize that you need to brush up on your grammar and writing skills? I just don’t won’t you to be embarrassed when you are speaking in public.

@Sanjor: Sadly, she is serious…

@Z, no, according to Black Lady, it’s brush.

@Sanjor

Girl you are wasting your precious key strokes. I already went there a few posts back. Pumpkin is so far gone it totally went over her head. She must have been sunscreening her light skin and quaffing her curly hair the entire duration of English class.

@Black Lady: You tell me…it is from your previous statement pertaining to darker skinned women discussing hair type with you…

@Black Lady, I know you are trying to get me told, but I don’t understand what you are trying to communicate to me. Please draw me a picture.

i dont never put my self above a dark skinned black woman i never had. just becuase of my hair type i dont say its better then nappy hair. cause good hair have its good points and nappy have its good points. thats just how it is and its not so good or nappy hair its other hair types black women have in between thoses two i just dont know what you call them. this is why we never get ahead in the black race shamely to say black women will fight over some damn skin tone over hair its dumb. its gone keep failing if yall keep it on.

Rozza♥ – Do You Like Fish Sticks?

@Z: But we leave her no choose!!! WE LEAVE HER NO CHOOSE!!!

what kinda name is that? i dont think you black now that im re reading your name. that dog on that pic. ummmmm

@Black Lady: Since you “puting” it out there – yes I am Black. That is my dog in the pic, who, by the way, would probably spell better than you if given a Milk bone and a pencil.

Ok I’m out. Rozza, Z, TruDiva, Jaye goodnight.

smh there nothing wrong with the black women here they just silly. with the terms yall try to change up makes me laugh. why did tyra banks everdo this show this does nothing but bring more drama to the black women race. damn now i can say this is about black women asses. damn you tyra banks lol

@dominicano

Oh boy! Here we go again.

@Black Lady: Unlike you choosing the name Black Lady to underscore that you are, in fact, Black? No – wait – light skinned.

Rozza♥ – Do You Like Fish Sticks?

@Black Lady: Since you “puting” it out there – yes I am Black. That is my dog in the pic, who, by the way, would probably spell better than you if given a Milk bone and a pencil.

shocking your black but put a dog on your pic? dont you think that a lil white acting? y our acting white. before you come in here talking about good hair geting mad stop acting like the crackas then you can talk yo shit. untill you put up a dark skin black woman with an afro proud and black then you can talk to me. till then please stop it

Honestly. How much do you wanna bet mama is still in high school? I can’t imagine any self-respecting woman would continue to embarrass herself in this way. What real woman proclaims she does not give a damn about spelling? I mean… I’m not saying you’ve gotta win Spelling Bee’s but SPELL CHECK can be a wonderful asset! The priorities here are ALL off kilter. Mama is talking about light skin and curly hair all the while sounding more ignorant than the “nappy headed black baby mama’s” she’s repeatedly condemning. Every last post she has contributed has been both a** backward in rationale and grammar.

Little tip for Black Lady… a TRULY beautiful woman knows beauty will only get her so far. Please take an English 1A course at the local community college.

Now if you’ll excuse me I have work to do. So I’ll just take my three college degree holding, two careering having, curly Afro sporting, Chocolate BLACK A** off to cupcake. My man awaits. And he LOVES this curly s**t! LOL

By the way. I’m sure light skin and curly hair will look GREAT on your next job application. If Palin can get as far as she did… Black Lady MAY have a chance!

Thanks for tha laughs yall. This s**t was TOO much! LOL

Tootles!

@Black Lady: You must be new. Had that pic up. Been there, done that. And what does having a pet’s picture up have to do with “acting white”? Can you explain that? And acting like a cracka? Wow…if anyone has a jacked-up mentality, well – look at your previous posts, and if you can, try to read them. Then come back and try again. Until you can, please try to get help. You sound as if you need therapy and Jesus, and not necessarily in that order.

Or in lingo you can understand – You go rid sum of u back posits and find darker skin reedin posts and git som edumucation on the raddy tang.

SMH – I am out for real this time. ‘Night all!

Jaye

this is a blog this not made to spell all cute for yall losers on here. every time i come back to this site most of yall names still on here.

the way i live my life most black women cant compare to my level but i have to give all thanks to my parents. my father and mom and this has nothing to do with my looks im talking about way i carry my self off line is where my beauty comes from. so blah fool u dont know what what u talking about.

I have locs and I know FOR SURE that I’m getting more positive looks (like 10 times more, no guesstimate) from men and women than I EVER did with my raggedy a$$ perm!!! It was hands down one of the best decisions I ever made and I love it!!!

i got book cents. okay we know most black women have that. but yall dont have no edumucation when it comes to haveing kids do yall? yall dont have edumucation when it comes to light skinned black women have good hair yall dont have edumcation when a black woman looks better then you period dont matter the skin tone. lets leave colloge out this every body know black women are smart we master degrees. but its other things yall dont master in.

@Black lady, That’s funny, that comment, “you can’t beat my hair type”. I will leave it right there, I guess “good hair” comes in all shades of women light and dark skin. Your funny but it was fun chatting with you Black Lady. At least you have remained a lady throughout all the attacks everyone has thrown at you today. May I ask how old you are, because that last comment was just a little immature but I love you anyways.LOL, Always remain a lady don’t let them drive you crazy on this site girl, I haven’t really seen any cursing or belitting in your statements so you go girl. You know I don’t curse, drink, smoke, fight or go to parties, I am pretty boring but people call me a good girl and I always remain a lady, So you don’t let them get to you and just for the record I probably don’t want you hair texture because I love how versatile my hair is but I don’t doubt you have a nice head of hair, you know us pretty girls do. LOL, I am not against you I am with you, I have “good hair” too remember, I am just trying to educate you and open your narrow mind, think outside your light-skin and you will see a lot of beautiful people around you of all shades in our community.

Many of these comments remind me of why I am damn proud of my skin color.

You know I don’t curse, drink, smoke, fight or go to parties

thats good. i dont drink dont smoke and i dont fight cause im not ghetto. and im do go out clubing. but im not a punk i wont let nobody beat me up i can fight. as for curseing ummm lets say online i curse people out. lol in person nah u cant come out and do that stuff you look crazy.

@Black lady see I gave you a compliemnt and now I gotta take it back, stop acting like that, I bet you are a pretty girl, but black people, we do do petty stuff, your funny, bye, Yeah and I agree with you about the spelling thing. I am not writing a college paper or writing for a corporate company so for all ya’ll crazy peope who don’t know what were typing, you know what we mean, we are just typing fast and that is true too black lady there are a lot of of 40 and 50 year olds that can be childest, my husband is in his 40′s and half of the time he gets on my nerve. LOL, remember I am not against you black lady, so calm down. If I came off like I was attacking you then I will apologize.

Good hair is healthy, neatly styled, clean hair. If your hair is growing and not breaking off or coming out in clumps your hair and health is good. It doesn’t matter how tightly coiled, wavy or straight. We have got to stop being so concerned about what “type” of hair we have ON our heads (other than to style it properly) and be more concerned about what is IN our heads.

Black lady you are a sad state of affairs. I won the Miss Monroe Pagaent in 2004 and was runner-up in 2005.

@black lady

Do you know who owns this website?

(hint)Their skin is like mine. LMWAO

Ignoring my ?

Ask your President about his mom? lol I know you worship his every step and claim him as “The First Black President.” LMSWAO

I love my 2nd amendment rights!

Oshie’s May Spirit

I love my 2nd amendment rights!

you white women aint got no more rights now cuase its not the white house no more its the black house. tell me are you up set tho lets be honest that a black woman took a white woman spot to be a first lady? awwwwww must heart. yall loser yall white rights so keep on messing with black men this is how will we beat you in your white places you used to have with white men.

white women cant sleep at night knowing the first lady is black lmao!

LOL at the black lady and the white lady…this is just the internet…move on with the kiddy shit…. damn kids…

on a side note…theres a topic about why 43% of black woman vs 23% of white woman are not married…its prolly cause of their nappy hair…lol

the article is at gochitchat.com

lol funny

Good hair is healthy hair, no matter what.
I have thin hair due to genetics and it can’t curl worth a damn thing, so i’ll get it straighten via pressing comb or relaxer. But some people just get relaxers or presses and don’t take care of it so their hair falls out, I moisture and style my hair whenever it’s permed or natural.

Also I receive touch ups & trims and my hair is still in tact. as I always say “I’d rather have short healthy hair, than long damaged hair.”
Whether it’s perm or no perm you need to learn how to take care of your hair and manage it

this topic is stupid and a waste of time.

“Beauty is fleeting.” Jeremiah

Beauty fades.

Beauty is meaningless.

Physical beauty is absoulutely undeniable, 100% proven to be useless.

So what is this discussion still going on for? Someone said it so perfect…why are blacks still living in the 50′s and 60′s with these terms?

I’m all for taking care of the hair, but its a new day, a new year. We gotta stop wasting time talking about this.

And stop fighting the white girl, she’s a regular and regularily says comments that are off the chain, just let it burn.

My people.

*undeniably

I have the so called good hair and I still wear my fly weaves so…….who gives a damm

Oopsssss…CORRECTIONS

NOT WORSE!

NOW THATS SOME REAL TALK FOR YA A$$ !!!!

and another thing…SOME OF US BLACK CHICS DO NOT LOOK GOOD WITH OUR NATURAL HAIR. YEAH I SAID IT! SOME OF US ARE CUTE NO MATTER THE STYLE. BUT SOME OF US LIKE ANY OTHER WHITE OR ASIAN CHIC, NEEDS SOME HELP AND NAPPY HAIR MAKES SOME OF US LOOK WORST!

IF YOU HAVE A HARD OR UGLY FACE DON’T PIC A HAIR STYLE THAT HELPS THAT LOOK! JUST LIKE IF A WHITE CHIC HAS AN UGLY FACE SHE DOESN’T NEED TO ROCK A PUNK ROCK STYLE WITH PINK AND YELLOW STRIPES IN IT! SAME HERE IF YOU AIN’T CUTE AND YOU HAVE HARD NAPPY HAIR leave that style alone AND FIND A STYLE THAT WILL MAKE YOU LOOK BETTER!

NOT WORST!

NOT THATS SOME REAL TALK FOR YA A$$ !!!!

@Christiessecrete, Somalis and Ethiopians who are whjo you are reffering to are not MIXED! the are cushites! please dont come here thinking that having curly softer texctured hair always means one is mixed.

GOOD HAIR IS CRABLESS PUBIC HAIRS.

Good hair is any hair in which a comb doesn’t break in it.

In south africa , in europe , in brazil,in congo , in ethiopa , in usa,in colimbia ,in france…

the black female relaxe their hair , they think that to have natural hair is no god, not beautifyl !
they use lace front , dark and lovely , wigs,..

The principal question is WHY ????

I’m in paris , and that the same think !

I didn’t know how to take care of my hair until I got with a stylist who was natural. Hair is nothing but dead cells. The more you put fruits, veggies, and proteins filled with vitamins to increase cell turnover rate, the more “good” your hair will be. And REAL organic shampoos and conditioners works wonders. Stop spending half of your paychecks on hair products that DO NOT WORK!….And if anyone can find me a good BLACK OWNED beauty supply store, specializing in BLACK haircare, I’d appreciate it.

@A_List

THANK YOU! I get so tired of folks, especially BLACK PEOPLE perpetuating that East Africans are mixed nonsense. A FEW tribes in Somalia have significant admixture and are recognized as mixed by other Somalians, but most Somalis aren’t mixed with Arab or anything else. There are tribes in Ethiopia that have the darkness, kinky hair and features commonly associated with West Africa. Not ALL Somalians look like the models Iman or Waris Dirie or have long silky Polynesian hair flowing down their backs, that is a common misconception. But I’m sure it’s not to hard to guess why white media loves to highlight the East Africans that have this look. I’ve seen many Somalians that would be virtually indistinguishable from other black people. The dichotomy of east African,”good” hair,narrow noses/West African “nappy” hair,wide noses is a false one. Things are far more complicated.

I am hispanic (Dominican to be exact) and I perm my hair and roller set it on a weekly basis. I do not consider myself to have good or bad hair. I take care of my hair. There is a misconception that only women with stick straight hair have the so called good hair and that’s simply not true.

Ladies, make sure you take care of your mane with weekly or bi-weekly deep conditioning treatments, trim and don’t overprocess and all will be fine. Whether your hair is straight, curly or kinky, the most important factor is that your hair is healthy!

keep it natural!

Just as a rebuttal on my last statement…I feel what black lady is saying as far as it not necessarily coming from mixed people. Good hair isn’t prejudice. We have learned to judge people according to certain things, but at the end of the day, if you take care of yourself, you’re just as good as anyone else.

I knew the real ignorant sh*t would start on this blog. It’s simple guys—–when folks say good hair they mean that their hair has some thin,straight and curly components to it. What it also says is that somewhere along the blood line—-great great grandma or great great grandpa had some dealings with someone who were not 100% african–more than likey white,east Idian or what they referred to as malato (light skinned/mixed blacks) or other words house nigros and a child was born. But the folks with good sense knows that good hair is strong healthy hair no matter the texture. But ignorant black folks calls good hair any texture of hair that resembles 100% African. It’s ashame but that’s how folks were institutionalized and brainwashed to think….you know—–it’s the house nigro field nigro mentality. Plain and simple. I hope I was able to clear things up for the ignorant and confused.

To Jaye —-honey, please don’t write anything else on this blog. You should be embarrassed! TOTALLY!

im bringing “nappy” back! nappy is the new black

i agree that “good hair” is healthy or like I say “happy hair.” Hair that is happy is manageable because it has been well taken care of. As far as black womnen go, I think a lot of us are told to perm our hair starting when we are so young, that we never really get a chance to see what our natural hair looks like. U just might like the way it looks naturally. I went natural a couple years back on accident really, and I realized that I love my natural hair. If i want to wear it straight, then I just flat iron it and it looks even better than a perm.

Good hair is NOT someone elses hair

Good hair damn sure isn’t Tyra’s lace front that’s horse hair and that’s all she should of been focusing on during her show and how secure would she feel if she didn’t have it?

do white people wear weaves? *just wonderin* or its really a black thing??????

There’s another reason why I relax my hair, due to the fact that I swim a lot in the pool and at the beach it wouldn’t make sense to press and curl. But I will get one of those cool ionic flat iron that sounds like a good idea. In the event that I have a job interview or some other special gala party to attend.

It’s simple, some light skinned chicks have good hair, some don’t, some Brown and Black skinned chicks have nappy hair, some have good hair, lol…

LOL@White people have been weaving their hair a lot longer than Black people.
You need to check out the hair pieces in the Cairo museum. Chicks had all kinds of falls,and braided wigs.

We did it first. As usual.

I wish it weren’t still neccessary for us to have these conversations.

My hair has been natural for the past few years. And what I find the most interesting is that most of the black women that tell me they love my hair have relaxers or weaves.

@ Mahogany

Not that your opinion of me really matters, this is after all cyberspace. However I would like to know exactly what you are you referring to.

?

Black women are beautiful FULLSTOP!! Re: hair (whatever makes you happy I say)whatever the texture,style etc,etc. if you really love yourself it will show in the way you carry yourself.

for healthy hair tips check out:

grow afrohair long.com

I don’t work for them but some of their tips are stop on.

@ Uh Uh…

If you say your not ashamed of your hair, so why dont you wear it like that, simply withouth the weave, with afro for example. Its much better. Burn your weave down girl!!
We have to be proud of what we are.

I have curly hair, and i dont relax it for about 7 years. Im proud of my afro. Be proud too!

Stephanie, okay I don’t just let my hair just dry, lol. After swimming in chlorine I wash and condition the tresses with this product called Ultra Swim. This shampoo is specifically tailored for extracting chlorine from the hair.

Is it my imagination haven’t you noticed that a lot Black guys have more hair (I’m not talking about hair types but guys with lion mane amounts of hair, lol) then some of these Black chicks ? Why is that ? Well, the next time I see a Brother with a lovely mass of hair I’m going to find out some information, lol… I have a lion’s mane my self, so no I don’t wear a weave, lol… Although some peopole ask me if where I bought my hair from, lol….
