I guess I'm like CG. I wouldn't know what to do with it except probably get a low cut or something. I'm just proud that I have hair that "touches my sleeve" (stole that phrase from a club DJ) that I didn't have to sew or glue in. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Thank you for responding. You can tell that this is a touchy subject. You are so right that their is a stigma within our own community against nappy hair. I thought that this topic would allow some people to reflect on the reasons of why and give those of us who have not responded to such a topic a chance to respond.
