"I'm Am Not My Hair"

These hair wars about Natural vs Relaxed is riduculous to me. People with relaxed hair should not bash naturals for not wanting to put chemicals in their hair and basically going back to the way it was when we were younger before the "perm". Naturals should not bash relaxed folks saying that is self hate and they dont like their culture. I dont really know why women who wear wigs get bashed because their really protecting their hair and giving it a break from everyday ware and tare. Whatever you do to your hair is your own business it because it is yours.They both have pros & cons but as long as you take of your hair you'll be able to manage whatever type you have. Relaxed doesn't need detangling, at night it's easier to wrap or ponytail it up. Then again you have to re-touch it every so often, sweating it out, cant go swimming,and rainy days. Natural needs moisture so it's okay to get wet, you can twist & braid it into different styles, and it can also be straight with the help of a blow dryer & flat iron. Then again you have to detangle, it gets smooshed when wrapped with scarf, and you may use alot of gel(only if you care about your edges being smooth).I've been relaxed since I was six and then decided to go natural just to try it out for a little while, I got frustrated then went back relaxed and if I choose to go natural again or stay relaxed it is up to me. It doesn't matter what the texture of  your hair is as long as you take care of it and you like it. Dont try to impress anybody but yourself because your the one who has to wear it.
