Some women's hair grows slower than others. Hair length also depends on the persons growth cycle and how much it grows per month. Also, Afro textured hair is more prone to breakage than other hair textures because it's drier. So black women may grow hair at the average pace but it breaks off easily so as she's growing it, it's breaking so it doesn't look like it grew at all.
Aren't there ways to moisturize your hair though?

Disagree. I don't have to worry about sweating my edges out, or messing up the weave when I am rocking the curly fro/ponytail. Plus I co-wash daily so, sweating in my hair everyday is a non-issue.
Just because you're not natural doesn't mean you rock weave everyday. Not natural and have never had a weave ever.
I do see that natural is the current hot thing, but it takes a lot to maintain it and I can't spend 2 hours a night straightening hair. I have things to do. lol.

We not even taking it that deep breh. Most definitely a woman can do whatever she wants to.. to herself, to her hair or whatever, no doubt about it. And truthfully this "American" culture you're taking about is a combination of many cultures from around the world. People have been drinking alcohol, smoking/puffing tobacco, wearing makeup/face paint, changing hair color, eating all types of food, etc. since the dawn of man. All that didn't start in America.

False. It is easier to clean the scalp after a work out when your real hair isn't covered by a weave. Plus some black women do not work out because they are afraid that their weave, or relaxer will sweat out.
What the hell are you talking about?
Black people are not suppose to wash their hair often,
My point was that when their natural hair gets wet it because difficult to manage.
Like KTD2 said yo would have to spend about 2 hours nightly straightened your hair.
You said they worry about their perms getting sweated out? That's why i said its more practical to wear weave
I dunno, I just think that this whole natural v. perm thing is just another thing for black women be divided over. Ex: Natural hair clubs, meet-ups, hair conventions. Or the attitude of "I'm natural and therefore am more black than she who perms."
Like, I was unaware that what I choose to do with my hair was supposed to define me or how "black" I am.

Yeah bro as far as black women go am almost exclusively into the natural chicks, I used to be into long straight hair, china doll bangs, shyt like that, but no its just somethin about them nappy heads that I like
Yes, yes there are. buuuuut some women don't know how to properly moisturize their hair, you can't have too much or too little.

This.
I hate the fact that black women took a positive movement to turn natural black women against relaxed/weave wearing black women. I hate to admit it, but the naturals started this mess. As if you heffas weren't relaxing your hair and rocking weaves one year ago
If a black woman want to rock a fro, dreads, relaxed, weave down her back or a baldie is alright with me. Shouldnt matter to no one else. I never got a complaint from a man about me wearing a weave. Plus the few times that I do work out, I tie my weave up and wash it when I get home.
You know what, I'll even give a pass to the Hallie Berry/Nia Long permed look. My ex girl used to rock that and she kept it nice and tight. She would rotate the short perm, to hot comb on certain days, to the short natural.
Its just that wild long un-kept shyt that's got me like

:whoo:
It depends on what shampoo a black person is using. With a non-sulfate shampoo, or even with a conditioner you can wash often.
Any hair is "difficult" to manage when wet because the strands become weaker when in contact with water.
I'm commenting on non-straight styles used without heat. It takes me less than an hour to style (twist, or braid) my hair before bed for the next day.
If you had read my post I mentioned relaxed hair, and WEAVES while working out. Again I am not referring to straight styles with the use of heat.

Going natural means not straightening/weaves. Your fellow female posters, told you how to maintain going natural and that it's fairly easy.
I can understand if you just prefer weaves/perms, but this whole "it's hard to go natural" is ridiculous.

@ the separatism (but I'll oblige 
)I have no qualms with females who rock weaves or indulge in creamy crack (whatever makes you happy). What irks me is the need for unnecessary commentary.
The most ignant statement I heard was from a female with a lopsided opossum fur looking weave
who stated OMG! you have a son? I know you got impregnated before you went natural, most naturals are single 
Or being told I cannot attend a social event unless I straighten my hair, FOH!
I've NEVER in my two years being natural heard a female with kinky hair throw unwarranted insults towards anyone who isn't natural, unless you feel the need to touch their hair WITHOUT permission ;)
