Curls Don't Come In A Jar -via BGLHonline.com , That Damn Salon -
“Kinky hair is in and of itself curly. If you have ever examined a “nap” closely then you may have already arrived at this conclusion. So, why are
black women spending millions of dollars annually on puddings, creams, gels, sprays, and other concoctions that promise what they already have? It is absolutely possible to find products that will tame frizz, or define YOUR natural EXISTING curl pattern. But you will not find springy spirals in a jar, if you never had them to begin with, my dear.”
Check this interesting article discussing the obsession some natural haired women have with achieving “the perfect curl” and how hair companies are profiting from this obsession.
Ive definitely noticed that some naturals obsess about their hair that won’t curl the way many think ideal natural hair should. They spend tons on products promising to create curls that may or may not be there! I cant count how many sistas approach me with ONE burning question: “HOW do you get your hair to curl like THAT??” (•_•) almost as if I have to create my curly Fro. They don’t want to hear about my regimen or that MY hair is naturally THICK,dense, curly, small 1/2-1in uniform coils and I maintain my hair by using mostly NATURAL products,zero heat styling& a consistent moisturizing regimen.
Unfortunately, many women do not understand that and believe the secret to natural hair success is through products promising to perform magic and alter their hair.
I hope women can learn to love themselves for their own unique beauty. Whether your hair is thick with loose curls or thin and wavy, YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL! Isn’t that the point of wearing your hair in its natural state? Why would anyone want hair that looks like someone else’s anyway?
“That’s what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It’s true, we’re locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you’re trying to steal their most precious possession.” —
