maybe i should have say a nice grade of hair, but her hair will look good with or without being relaxed which is the reason why it looks silky straight
All types of black hair is good hair. It would not have been offensive saying her hair type. But to say good hair /good grades is saying that tighter coils is bad hair /bad grade
It’s okay. Different curl patterns take to certain straightening techniques differently. We all have a little trial and error phase until we find what works and what we like. The goal is to have healthy hair. We’re beautiful regardless. ❤
Hair doesn’t have “grades”. It’s not diamonds, beef, eggs or hills. It has types and textures. It can be soft, silky, curly, coarse, fine, kinky, wavy, etc.
Using terms like “good grade of hair ” to describe hair more similar to Whites teaches our children that things most like Whites are valued and superior. Yes, there are African people with silky /fine hair,but that’s not most Americans of African descent . No one is trying to bash you. We, as a people, should strive to cease placing value on light eyes, light skin and silkier hair textures. Because when our coarser haired, brown eyed, brown skinned kids hear us gushing over “good” hair , and they don’t have that texture, what do you think it does to their feelings about themselves?
It’s time to let go of this systematic brainwashing they did to our ancestors. It presents itself as self hatred. I grew up using that term. Everyone did. It’s time to break the cycle that “the most like the people that enslaved our ancestors, the ‘better’ it is.” We are descendants of Kings and Queens that had coarse and kinky hair.
Healthy hair is “good” hair, regardless of texture. ☺
Sorry you all got so offened about my comment but I have a 31 year old son and I have been doing breads way before he was born and yes we as African-American have different types of hair, but we have all said it once or another about someone having good hair and believe me I have breaded all types of hair and as of today i’m 51 and I still do breads so I know about different types of hair. My comment was only to say no matter what her hair was going to be shinning and silky without anything special being done to it.
Touran Brown don’t let these people phase you (as I’m sure as a grown woman you didn’t). I swear you can’t say as much as boo on social media without people trying to hop on and sound “so above it all.” Everyone is entitled to their opinion but people need to get off this “you said this so I gotta shove my thoughts down your throat and tell you how wrong your thoughts are” state of life. At the end of the day it is just hair and instead of trying to be racially divisive about it,maybe we should be teaching that it is just hair and it doesn’t define a person. Good/bad, curly/straight or whatever the texture really doesn’t define a person’s character
Ok People, no need to argue! Back in the days,we all called wavy,curly hair, good hair! Nappy hair was undesirable! Now in this new generation, we call nappy hair, curly,kinky,tight curly,3a,3b,3c,4a,4b,4c,whatever! I am glad,proud we have came a long way and are accepting ourselves, skin tone as well as hair texture to be beautiful, growing long,healthy and 100% natural hair!!!! Chemicals free!! I see old school verses New school bashing each other’s comments! No need for everyone to get offensive based on a comment!
This why i am learning to love our hair !!! What other hair type can be this diverse . We can go from curly fro to slilky straight and everything else in between

Sigh…….you didn’t offend. ppl just being difficult

I’m not offended. All types of black hair can look like that after a press or flat iron.
