Curious?
What really makes straight hair wrong? Is it only through the use of a relaxer? What if one straightens their naturally curly hair? Are they ok because they don't use a chemical? Or is having straight hair period no matter what method used to get there wrong? Do we make distinctions among those with kinky hair who use a relaxer, those with naturally curly hair who use a blow dryer to straighten, and those who are "natural" and use a pressing comb to straighten their hair in between their wearing afro or twists? I know plenty of natural women who go from braids to wigs, weaves and pressing. Are they too wrong even though they are natural? What if you are natural, but use a chemical to color your hair? I've seen plenty of blond dreaded sistas, are they still natural and staying true? Why is it called a style for the "natural" sistas, but for those with relaxers it's self hatred and vanity? We just don't fit nicely into the two categories of natural and relaxed, so if one makes distinctions make sure you address ALL the subcategories.
The many things we come up with to divide us as a people even further.
