sherl swoopes of houston was being interviewed and was asked to say one thing she would never wear.
she said "an afro" and everyone laughed.
i turned the channel.

I Do not wear Afros, I guess your going to put me on perma ignore right?

afro style is now out but the true nature of it will always be
i don't have an afro but indeed all natural low cut .
but i do feel where this went how can she diss her true style for the relaxer

I don't know if I'd ever wear an afro. Not because I think it's ugly...just because I don't think it would look right on me. I do know that Swoopes thinks she's fine as old wine, but she might be able to rock an afro because he hair dos now ain't "do"ing it.

I Do not wear Afros, I guess your going to put me on perma ignore right?
maybe, do you laugh at people who do ?

Yea I laugh at folks who wear afros and they look ugly on them. Just like I clown folks who look stank with dreads braids and anything else that look crazy.

If you rockin' a messy fro' that's one thing, but the new age fro' is tight to me. I really like it. I like the styled confusion. It's an art to a tight fro. That's just me speaking though.

I think afros are cute...but like Royal T, I could not wear one. My face is already round...I would look crazy with an afro.

i remember a time when everyone wore them, even little babies.
it was also a time when black peoole were most happy and friendly toward each other.
co incidence?

I'm just curious to know if it's the actual afro that people don't like ( a simple style) or "nappy"/natural hair that some folk are opposing. If it's just the style....you really can't beef that. I don't like spiral curls...but I don't care about someone having a perm/relaxer.

i have a serious problem with black people who laugh at and dislike their own nappy hair while loving white peoples hair.
i think that's sick.

I'm a sista who does actually rock my fro...and I do mean rock it :wink: . When I first cut my hair most folks were like :jawdrop: "what you gon' do to it?"... :nono: "why you do that?" and what killed me was that those comments came from the generation that began the craze of wearing tha "I'm black and I'm proud fro"(folks in their forties and fifties.) Oh my lets not leave out the elderly..."baby what you do to your hair?) :bomb: boooooy if they weren't old lol. Really though, I don't get mad when someone dishes opinion on my natural...unless i look over and I see someone with a perm that does absolutely nothing for them....and I see that all too often ,hee hee.

*pattin My fro*
-Muse :rolling:

one thing is like everything else the fro is coming back in style
now i agree in today's time women some not all can't or won't
look up to part with a big fro but i have seen some with short
style fro's and they look good .............break out the fist pick again
it's coming in slow but rapidly

the fro, dreads, braids, mini fro, or nappy natural. must be kept right...groomed. i have many sistas at my job that are weav/perm crazy. its sad, they literally walk around looking like clowns in an uncontious attempt at whiteness. to each their own yeah yeah yeah, the fro gives off a statement of power,as do other natural black hair styles. funny when i see a sista with fake braids im like, if u would just let ur hair grow naturally ud have real braids.

I think that the worse part is probably the fact that it seems she thinks she's above afros, or like they're beneath her. The fact that there was laughter makes me dislike the statement. It's one thing to not like the style on yourself, but there are many people that look hot with afros, braids, dreds or whatever. Those wack hairstyles that she's been wearing should be what they're laughing at, because those were just straight-up tacky IMO.
