Re: the video with the black african soap: the before is what my hair looks like before i treat it well, and it's dry and brittle and just awful. it might look 'okay' but it doesn't feel okay.

I’m not trying to be a dick or anything but everyone’s hair isn’t exactly like yours, and there is absolutely not one thing that healthy black hair looks like. One black person’s hair will look very different from another black person’s hair when equally healthy because we have a variety of textures, moisture levels, our hair will react differently from person to person to the same oils and water itself, and nothing about her hair in the beginning necessarily means “unhealthy” or even necessarily dry, it just isn’t shiny and smooth.

I just feel like a lot of “natural hair” shit is bs because it’s all about making your hair as smooth as possible, getting a curl pattern that you don’t necessarily even have to show, making sure your hair is always shiny, etc, but we still have this kind of very visceral reaction to black hair that has just been picked and left alone, or combed and left alone, and isn’t so dry it’s falling out. Plus undamaged hair on white people is not considered the unsightly thing it’s considered on us. You know what I mean? Like I just think a lot of naturalistas are really into trying to make black hair look as much like most white people’s hair as possible and still don’t like what our hair really looks like on its own. So I do just have a funny feeling in my stomach about a lot of it .

#i hope this doesn't sound mean because i swear i'm not angry or anything #i'm just trying to explain #mazeballet

I mean, I understand what you're saying. I'm mixed race so my hair does a lot of crazy shit. I'm not worried about a defined curl pattern, I'm worried about breaking my comb off in my knotted terrible hair. It's not about it 'looking nice' or anything, it's about me being able to style my hair, full-stop.

I get that but I’m not talking about like, your individual hair, I’m talking about a lot of the culture around it and the way those kinds of videos are usually done (no makeup in the beginning, full face at the end) and just the whole idea that our hair should look a certain way. I’m talking about the idea that our hair naturally NEEDS more styling than white people’s hair.
