I grew up being told my hair was not pretty when it was natural. I permed it the first chance I got. I have 3 daughters and the four of us have natural curly and thick hair. I won't ever let someone tell them they aren't beautiful the way that they were born into the world.

It's sad that in 2016 we are still being told we are not good enough. I have been natural for 3 years and rock my afro and puff with pride. Our hair is beautiful. Wear it with pride!

Natural hair is here, been here, and won't ever go away. It's not a trend, but moreso a way of life. We have and will embrace our blackness, our boldness, and our fierceness and this includes but is not limited to our natural hair. No one should ever tell us we have to change that to fit into categorical norms.

This terrorizing black women and forcing them to imitate white women stops NOW. We are beautiful in our natural state just like everyone else. This is sickening.

Outrageous. Black girls whom are natural (myself included) should be able to freely wear it this way. This is not a perm nor a kit. This is how God created us and we are beautifully and wonderfully made.

I used to wear my hear relaxed. I now wear my hair natural. It's so versatile. In its natural state it's healthy and beautiful. In these times we are way past the old days. Wearing your hair natural is in style in every work place.

I've been wearing my hair in dread locs for the past five years and my only regret is that I didn't loc twenty years ago. What could be more beautiful that natural. Please let someone TRY to tell me i'm not fabulous with my magnificent crown.
Magnificently created by God.
