70%?

Yeah that's complete BS

Ya’ll know zilch about blk female hair.

You see a wig and think that’s the be all end all.

Yes. 70% unrelaxed. Texture unchanged. That’s why relaxer sales have plummeted. Also the huge influx of blk women NOW wearing natural hair in the workplace is why we’ve been lobbying for legislation to protect Blk natural hair styles.

Black women say their hair makes them feel beautiful

As the natural beauty trend takes hold across the US, it seems Black women are fully embracing their natural hair. New research from Mintel reveals that Black women are most likely to wear their hair natural (no chemicals) with no-heat styling (40%) and natural with heat styling (33%). For a boost in confidence, 51% of women say their current hairstyle makes them feel beautiful. Black women are most likely to wear their hair natural (no chemicals) with no-heat styling (40%) and natural with heat styling (33%).

Companies did reports on this shyt because blk women shifts in beauty trends literally changed a worldwide market and are still making waves politically.

Where have ya’ll been? I see so many young Blk girls in school now with natural hair that it looks COMPLETELY different than when I was in grade school. It’s like some of ya’ll don’t know blk women.

There’s a shyt ton of Afro puffs, locs, faux locs, micro braids, crochets, afro textured hair extensions, big afros, tiny afros, twist outs, goddess braids, sistalocs, cornrows…
Some choose to focus only on the lowest denominators. Why doggedly ignore millions of others.

You are being obtuse right now, you know most people mean no wigs or weave when they say natural



Being natural under a wig doesn't count for anything

no matter how many times we say, we prefer our sistas to be natural, I guess it doesnt mean shyt

brehs would be happy with a woman with a short
Mini fro lol. Literally all she gotta do is put moisturizer and oil in it every day which kills the maintenance argument.

 

[Swahili P'Bitek]

Like I've always said, for women who love weaves, it has nothing to do with men's beauty standards, it's their own desire for that hair type. It is wrong to deflect one's quest for vanity on another party. African, Carribean and Afro-American men have promoted the black woman's features through song and the little stake of international media we have for so long, just as any other race of men does with their women, till other races switched perspective, but they don't blame Afro-beauty standards when they do what they do with the surgeries and operations, they recognise it's a quest for their own vanity and leave it at that.

 

[old boy]

this is not about no damn natural hair movement or ratios

it is about the visceral self hatred of these aunt jemima black women with zero shame openly wishing they had frieda pinto's hair instead of their own kinky tresses. i know it's hard. i know. but listen stop with the deflections this shyt is disgusting


black male self hatred = everybody lets it go on nikkas

black female self hatred = innocuous & velvet glove

 

[EndGame]

Y'all scared to mention Black women?

Wigs aren’t permanent. And even sew-In weave sales are on the decline.

People like moving goal posts when it comes to natural.

Black women used to CHEMICALLY ALTER the texture of their hair AND add extensions to them.

Now 70% of blk women no longer chemically or permanently alter their hair. That’s natural.

Instead, some wear braids, wigs, afros, locs, crochet styles, wraps.

All KINDS of shyt but many go out of their way to only focus on weave heads. Why?

Natural hair in the workplace literally became a recent problem because SO many Blk women have started wearing their hair naturally in professional settings. That’s evidence of this shift.

Stop hyper focusing on the negatives. There are shyt tons of blk women with no chemicals in their hair rocking it in a million ways including their own hair texture.

In fact, natural hair texture extensions are in high demand today b/c blk women want to rock bigger Afro-textured styles that match their own texture. Like I said, it’s almost like some don’t know blk women. Even my mom was shocked about how many Blk women were natural these days b/c she said MOST had perms growing up, whether they wore wigs and extensions or not.
But unfortunately we see more this

Than nearly a decade of shyt like this




If you don’t like weave or relaxers, there’s more options of blk women rocking their natural hair with minimal shyt than there ever has been in the last century.

When natural hair care is literally building entire economies in spite of white beauty standards, and you STILL choose to focus on bundles, I dunno what else to tell you. But shifting the focus would go a long way to alleviating this issue instead of perpetuating weave culture. Especially when so many Blk women are rocking their own shyt.
