My question is.Why does the topic of hair get so dang touchy? Personally I really think it was great for you guys to educated the "Permed Ones" such as myself on what we're doing to our bodies. Honestly it did make me think for a second.
I did leave the boards with a little more to think about as far as my perming goes but this whole thing leaves me feeling as though some are being a bit self rightous. You went natural and bravo, but no matter how much you try to bang people's heads ther's still gonna be a bit of perming going on.

One thing about life: we all see it through the veils of our experiences. I could just as easily say that those of you w/ perms started in on the convo feeling like you had to defend yourself and your beliefs from us natural heads. I think both may have a touch of truth.
While I don't think anyone on this thread was attempting to bang anyone's head in, we all had an opportunity to engage in meaningful, challenging discussion. And that my dear sisterfriends is a wonderful part of being a woman--we just got it like that!
If any one felt like their toes were getting crunched on--either in this thread or any other, or life in general--we need to examine why. Don't just assume that it is because you were attacked...maybe your stance on the issue was not well stated and that is what others were responding to, then
there is the chance that you (me, whoever, the person in question) were just wrong (hey, it happens). In any event, I must say that this forum is one of the FEW that I have found where memberfriends and sisterfriends can engage in some semblance of real discussion, and I greatly appreciate it. God Bless.
