I must say that I really don’t like the natural curly look as a style. I prefer natural hair that is straightened because it has beautiful texture and fullness that differs from relaxed hair and curly hair. Also, the bushy curly look tends to age women tremendously I find and it doesn’t look like they put effort into their looks – even though that may not be true. Straight natural is best. My hair is not only healthy thick and full but also very pretty. I can wear the look to the office or on a date and look like a polished lady. That’s difficult to do with the curly bush going on.

I am also a straight natural and I too could give a @&$ what other folks think about it. I left the relaxer at the salon 8 or so years ago. I did the double strand twists for a while, braids, cornrows, etc. what I found is the old school press works for me the best with working out, quick styling for work AND I like it. How about that? Funny enough my hair was thick and wavy when I was younger and even with keeping the double strand twist it would not be completely curly on the ends. Now, if I wash my hair and leave it down to dry, it’s curly perfect vacation hair. On my natural journey I have met many sisters who told me you gotta make it work for you. I don’t want criticism as natural does mean no chems right? If that is the case, some natural sisters color their hair so….again do what’s best for you.

Gina! I too have no relaxer but straighten my hair. My curl pattern is all out of sorts and quite frankly, I’m lazy. It’s so easy to wrap my hair at night and get up and go. Summertime is a different story but for the most part, my straight hair is convenient. I applaud women who can wear their hair natural in any capacity. I don’t think we should put anyone else down for how they choose to maintain. Even women who have relaxers, I get it. If that’s what you choose, do you girlfriend. We are so busy judging one another over insignificant things. Doesn’t judging others get exhausting? Sheesh! But that ain’t none of my business though….
