Well I relax my hair because I like the way it looks. I'm tired of all that crap saying that us black women are trying to look white. Hair is easier to mannage (to me) when straight, and I have a lot more styles to choose from. I also occasionally braid my hair.

I do neither. I do not wear weaves or straighten my hair. Well, I do, because my hair is naturally wavy and when it gets wet, I get big curls. Most women straighten their hair. If a woman has curly hair, she use flat irons. Wearing your hair in different styles does not take away from who you are.

And who made you judge and jury to tell people what to do when God gave us all the power of will to do what we want? Only people who have a life concentrate on their own lives and not on others.

Come on now, you live in the U.S. You know the answer. Conformity to the images presented. To get ahead, fit in, be considered "beautiful," straight and flowing is the way to go.

I've gone through many hairstyles in my life, and so I don't down anyone. I've not got into weaves or wigs because I've been blessed with a full head of hair. I've had locs for over two years now and wonder why I didn't do it sooner. It was and is a spiritual expression for me- acceptance and transformation, returning to my ethnic roots and heritage.

I work in a professional office and since my locs are medium length-long, I can put them in a bun, ponytail, add hair accessories like pins or tie them in a scarf if I so choose.

You know, this whole straight hair thing is popular with white girls too. That's why flat irons and blow drying is so popular with them. They work hard to keep their hair straight. It's not a black thing. Even Hispanics and Asians straighten their hair. And as for Black women not staying natural, they would if more people like you expressed how natural hair was better. There are so many ignorant black people in this world criticizing their natural hair. But, I do agree with your question.
