I never felt like my natural hair was taboo. Maybe it depends on what part of Ohio you live in.  ::shrug::
Anybody have any tips on doing your own two-strand twists? Mine always come out crazy (never look uniform). |
I am saying that it seems to be taboo amongst blacks. I don't see many black women walking around rocking a natural. As a matter of fact, most people who see me out know me by my hair because as they put it " I am the only person they see wearing their hair like mine." What I do see, is a LOT of micros, weaves and the sort. This may not be the case for Cleveland or Columbus, but is definitely the case for Cincy/Dayton/Toledo.
