I’m just venting right now I guess. I just have a problem with women of color that claim to be natural, but will go to extra lengths to buy the best weaves from around the world. I don’t get that. How can a person claim to be truly natural when they won’t wear their own hair? That doesn’t make sense to me.
For those of us that are truly natural, we don’t care what the world has to say about our naturally kinky hair. That’s the hair we were born with and we do wear it proudly. We have those days when we really don’t want to do any thing with it, but that’s just the struggle we go through to be real to ourselves.
I have never worn a weave because for one, I know where it comes from. I don’t want anyone else’s hair in my head. I think that’s nasty and just plain wrong. Every black woman on this planet was born with beautiful hair. Instead of trying to get to know their hair or learn to take care of it so that it can grow to enormous lengths, black women will instead allow the hair to become brutally dry and damaged. Why not do what our mothers and grandmothers did when they were young? Remember hair grease? That is the only thing that really saves our hair. We can’t wash our hair every day or every week like our counterparts. We have natural oils in our hair that allows for growth.
Try oils such as olive, advocado, and/or grapeseed. Even coconut oil is a good source of moisture for any hair type. But wearing weave is not the way. How are you going to have nappy roots but the rest of the “hair” is bone straight? Get real. It’s neither cute not helpful to your own natural hair.
IJS…I’m not here to bash anyone for choosing to do what they do, but what I am saying is that if you say you are all natural, take the weave out. That’s not natural.
Being Natural 
That’s what I do too, and I have noticed a big difference. Have you tried the caramel conditioner? I do this once a month, and my hair stayed soft and stretched for three and a half weeks

Well, thats your opinion i guess and its okay. There could also be a lot of reasons why they wear weaves. I transitioned to natural i work in a corporate environment there was nothing i could do with my already damaged hair plus the growth to fit. I wore protective styles a lot. Weaves, braids, wigs. Yea i got carried away in it and my hair got damaged. I have just started rocking my natural hair though trying to fix all the edges gone. But i think a lil switching once in a while is okay if thats what they wanna do anyways. But dont just get carried away, we are still natural honey. *smiles*. For me i am going to be wearing my natural hair for a longer time now, paying for ignoring my roots. Lol

I do a treatment weekly or 2. Hot oil, deep condition, protein treatment and i do this myself, DIYs. I think this gives me a chance to bond and actually understand my hair
