Yes her hair is quite nice, she acknowledges it is due to her heritage. Nowhere does she say, unlike all you who have bad hair. Yes natural hair is nice regardless of your ethnicity, she is not taking anything away from anybody.

Now back to the weave, it's real pretty. Do you know the salon name, or was it totally random?

We would love to have that salon review on our site http://www.noscrunchie.com, just so other ladies know about the service. If you have a minute, please?

Hey Guys, you are right, I DO sound a little ignorant. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not wearing a weave because I'm trying to hide my natural hair, I LIKE my natural hair, but I also like being able to stay in bed an extra half an hour every morning because I don't have to style it. Natural Afro hair, despite is effortless connotions, is not easy to manage. I'm very bad at doing my own hair. When I move to Jamaica for a year and become an island girl, I'll probably shave it all off. Thanks for reading!

Actually, Sharmadean herself made it a "race thing." And I quote: "To be honest, my own hair, thanks to my Indian father, is really quite nice and doesn't need chemical processing." "Need" chemical processing? Which is to say that straight hair is "good" hair. And that, in my view, is a problem. BTW: when you are of color, nearly everything is a "race thing" whether one likes it or not. Better to confront this head on rather than leave an elephant lingering in the room, I say.

Should have scrolled down before I commentated, completely agree with you. It's a little ignorant...

yeah...I noticed that too. It
smells of that view that to have good hair you have to be mixed..

Come on! I have really fine hair and its annoying - I don't know anyone who is happy to have fine hair - its ok to grumble about hair and manageability without it being a race thing! Its about learning to work with what you have to suit what you like which I think Sharmadean recounts really well - she's hilarious!

I agree. As a black woman who wears who own hair natural, I've always found the idea one has "good hair" because its straight (caucasion/indian/anything but afro textured etc...) archaic and offensive. I've got an afro, and I see nothing "bad" about it. I think she's gorgeous too, and think her hair looks lovely on her, but thought the comment a bit off putting.

Cannot believe that is a weave!

She's gorgeous. Love her hair and love seeing a person of color here--something which has become all too rare. That said, as women of color I feel we MUST get away from the soul crushing idea that "African" hair is somehow "bad."
