[Angela]

Look, I know many black women with strong healthy hair that happens to be permed. What gets on my nerves is when we choose to judge each other’s physical appearances. Black women (just like all women) are free to create whatever look that they want. No one says anything about the number of white women who wear weaves…and YES they wear them too! Or the Asian women who dye their hair red and blonde and also wear color contacts. Black women in Brazil wear their hair in many beautiful styles whether it is straightened, left natural, permed, or wavy/curly. I feel that black women in the USA judge eachother too harshly. Instead, enjoy the fun and freedom of change once in awhile. Most women that I know try different things with their hair just to do something different, it has nothing to do with being ashamed of the culture. I guess you have not heard of the tribes in Africa that straighten, braid and/or color their hair. If it makes them feel good about themselves, no matter who is doing it, why knock someone’s fun?
