YOU LOOK GREAT
BEAUTIFUL 
No matter what color we are it seems we always want something different if we are white we want to tan, black we want to be lighter, straight hair we want curly, curly we want straight. It’s no different for any race we never ever think we are fine the way we are and that is awful GOD MADE US PERFECTLY CRAFTED US WE ARE WONDERFULLY MADE 
GOD BLESS AND MUCH LOVE GODS CHILD.

Woah, 1.49 you look really hot! You suit both…I really respect you keeping your natural style, moreover because…sameness is boring! Celebrate what makes you YOU and use it to make us interested in each other’s differences rather than separating us and feuding or discriminating, that’s what I say! Sending much love!xx

Your hair looks great. I have had my hair natural for about 25 yrs. I never looked back.

Oh, hush it. I think you are wasting your time commenting. Take those negative vibes else where.

I went to school for Africana studies so I know some of these “revelations” you speak of. Do know that everyone may not be receptive to this…especially on the internet. It is easier to have conversations (I think) in person. But I understand what you’re saying and respect your points and mission.

I am not expressing superiority. I am simply stating the facts. Our indigenous native hairstyles is only one component of a trail that is millenia old. I dont like to get preachy but at times it cant be helped. In fact, Ive had to learn the hard way that I have to keep these revelations to myself. When you are trying to expose long suppressed information you have to do so thoroughly, comprehensively, and conclusively. I am prepared to accomplish all three.

While I appreciate your thoughts, I can’t co-sign. It is extremely afrocentric and implies that only Black people are “people of the light”. I have pride in my culture but I don’t consider my hair, skin or lifestyle to be better than any one else’s. We are all uniquely different and beautiful.

If black people understood that their natural hairstyles were ancient and symbolic, we would be far along in finally awakening. Here is a head start: The locs are a symbolic representation for the life giving rays of the Sun. That is whats meant when the ancestors said that we are Children of the Sun. The sun is the light. What is the light? It is knowledge. We are the people of the light. I hope to get a reply…

Now that I can appreciate. Peace.

Hey, you ” do you”. You’re a beautiful woman no matter what you do!

My locs flow free and wild ALL the time. I just can’t win. If I rock a perm, I’m not “Black” enough. If I rock an afro all of sudden I’m “too Black”. If I rock locs I am now “hiding my natural hair”? Doesn’t this all sound crazy to you? I will not take my locs out. They are beautiful as am I. And you minus that crazy theory that locs hide natural hair. SMH

Locs are tightly wined up and not allowed to flow free and willd. Locs forces the hair into a militant, submissive state in my opinion. That’s why they’re called “locs” ; they are “locked” up!

Thanks!
1:49 am on February 19th, 2010
Love what you have and know that it’s beautiful. When I was a little girl I used to say, “I wish I was white and had hair like that.” It’s not a good look. Love you for you.

How is wearing locs hiding my natural hair? You do know that locs are…natural, right?
3:18 am on February 19th, 2010
Aww, thank you.
4:10 am on February 19th, 2010
your are pretty man i just had to say it
4:32 am on February 19th, 2010
you are so so stunning girl. i love your hair.
4:54 am on February 19th, 2010
Wish I was black and had hair like that! And I love how you wished your hair a happy birthday. Sweet of you. lol
5:00 am on February 19th, 2010
Please take your locs out. In my opinion it’s still a way to hide your natural hair. Your face looks so much softer and beautiful with your hair loose; especially the first picture you posted after cutting out your perm!

A tribute to black hair…beautiful, and the song is still good
5:49 am on February 19th, 2010
I love to see a sister appreciate who and what she is. Do try to be like some other, no need to. You are the original standard for female beauty, the first woman!!

@aivilik Too many times African Americans are taught to imitate rather than embrace their own ethnicity. It seems like in society the closer you look to white, the more attractive you are considered to be. The straighter you hair is, the lighter your skin is, the more beautiful you are. African Americans can’t watch a youtube video of hair care with a white/hispanic person because we can’t relate. Its not a competition, its not jealousy. Its simply to say, you are who you are-love and embrace it

yea i finally came to this realizaton like a week ago when i was having a friendly debate with a black girl whose a friend, people thnk if you relax your hair you’re conforming toeurocentric ideals of beauty, this is not always the case
