The Natural Hair Nazi

Heyy Ladies!!

I've been on a break from posting for no particular reason and I have written about this topic briefly before but as I observe natural hair groups on FB I must revisit my utter disgust.

The Natural Hair Nazi is a serious problem in the natural hair community and it's another form of black women judging and tearing down one another. I have seen women who have been natural for some time be out right nasty to women who are just getting into the game as well as attack women who prefer things from hair growth vitamins to wigs/weaves as protective styles. It HAS TO stop! These groups are supposed to uplift women who get discouraged during their journey. Women who aren't used to or haven't developed the natural hair mindset.

What makes one woman more natural than the next?

Please answer this questions for me? I have read where some women believe you are not natural unless you wear your natural 100% all the time. Meaning no braid/twist extensions, no wigs, no weaves, just your natural hair. This belief is all fine and good, the problem comes when one woman attacks another based on this belief. Telling women that they aren't "real naturals" is ridiculous. If this is the case we're all fake naturals to someone!

My Definition of Natural
Using NO chemicals in your natural hair with the intention of altering the state in the hair grows from your scalp.

Be YOUR Kind of Natural!! Do what makes you happy and get with women who will encourage, empower and uplift you Iyour journey. At the end of any day, that's all that matters!

Comment below and let me know your opinion and what you've seen!

Love you for reading, as always!
