You know what yall ... since i've been wearing my hair natural, i look at those who don't in a whole different way. Oh gosh, i'm becoming jaded! Not real jaded, like hating on other folk for being in the same place i was, or those in the process of their own personal journey to find and love their own selves ... nothing like that ... but jaded in the sense ... that i wonder, when i see Black women on television or in magazines, with their permed, bone straight hair ... i wonder ... do they feel fake at all? Do they realize that none of that "beauty" would be there, if they didn't alter themselves to get it? They probably don't, i know i never did, which is really amazing. I could never see any of this, while i was in it (wearing my hair permed), never even hardly thought on it.
I sometimes think ... we are such a fake people ... pretending our hair aint really nappy ... and yes, me too ... smh.
Reminds me of a thread i started, Worshipping False Idols.

I've been natural for about 5-6 months now.
I am wearing micro's so I'm basically carefree.
I play with them,wet them,curl them,pin them up or let them run free like a rastafarian.
Now when they come out is another story.
