These natural hair brands are annoying me. I blame carol's daughter. Before brands would cater to hair that most black people have and now they've allowed others in smh. I probably made a post about this before but it's getting beyond ridiculous. Loose wavy and curly hair been had products catering to them why do our products have to as well? We can't have anything to ourselves that others don't bum rush themselves in and now it's back to having limited products for us.

It's like nonblacks gets salty anytime they see something catering to us despite already having a plethora of crap for them.

Products I used to like have changed the recipe and many don't even work on my hair anymore. And what the hell is biracial or mixed hair and for that matter, what is African American or ethnic hair? People have lost their damn mind.

I believe this is a large part of the reason why the natural hair hierarchy exists. Everything is promoting and catering to looser curl patterns that many women just got lost along the way. The media and brands push the looser curly hair to the forefront and derailed the black pride in our hair...again. People can't stand when black women get pride in themselves.

Yes!

Started my new job recently, been buying new work clothes. Now I need new shoes, because it's switching from winter boots to spring footwear season. I'm struggling to find versatile pumps/heels/flats to go with pants, suits, dresses, skirts that don't cost $$$$. Macy's is failing me. I never buy shoes online, but I'm thinking that's my only choice now.

I wore almost those exact same shoes today! Different brand, same style. I'm going to check out your links, thank you! I was hoping you would have some input! Was thinking I might have to do a separate thread.

Be careful with the sizes, a lot of their stuff comes from Asia. They're smaller than American sizes. I always order a size up in pants tops are like a size or two depending on the cut and how my bust will be out
