yeah, which is why i'm so perplexed by the situation. the ones who constantly permed/weaved their hair weren't able to the grow it. the naturals didn't seem to have all these problems that i read about online. my ex has hair down to her back and doesn't use weave or wigs to protect her hair from the elements. i understand the hair is sensitive, so how is manipulating it every which way helping them? i didn't realize i was 'going ham' though, just trying to get to some middle ground.
The excuses are fukking hilarious, my ex used to say the same dumb shyt about protecting her hair. Oh, but constantly putting pressure on your hair follicles with tight ass braids, and weaving in someone elses hair is somehow not going to damage it?
