Since I choose to get my naturally curly hair ‘relaxed’ I should be frowned upon from other women who go natural?

What happened to the luxury salons attend by blacks (myself included) that focus on hair care and the sensitive relaxers that have less lye etc? I did not see that in the movie.

Chris Rock was trying to shed some light on this issue but at the same time it has opened up another topic/debate with whites and blacks, about of all things HAIR, PERMS, WEAVE. We have enough to deal with without a debate if my blowout is mine or Indian yaky.

I understand both sides of the argument but I think that no one should screw up their face to what people choose. We have freedom of choice and there are ‘grades’ of hair (from course to fine) that do not necessarily make it good hair or bad but just hair.

WHEN YOU RUN AROUND WISHING YOU HAD MORE HOURS IN THE DAY, YOU TRY TO CUT TIMES WERE POSSIBLE, RELAXING (TO ME) IS EQUIVALENT TO ORDERING OUT.. I KNOW ITS NOT THE BETTER CHOICE.. ITS JUST CONVINIENT..SHAME SHAME LOL (JO)

*dead* about the part about the blond hair on top. You ain’t follon nobody boo boo.

Keep up the good work. Love the blog.

While I see some of your points, I also see some of the lady on Oprah’s points although I think she worded it incorrectly calling it “secrets.” While I think this is a good step in the right direction in discussing black hair issues that stem from even before our grandparents, I believe that when you discuss an issue you should discuss it wholeheartedly and not just the sections you choose. The good, the bad, and the ugly should all be discussed in this and I think Chris missed a good opportunity to talk about some things. For example, on the show he had with Oprah he said that men don’t care about hair as much. But I can recall many conversation I’ve heard about women who have said they continue to different procedures to their hair because of their men making mention or having disdain for natural hair. So, while I think this is a good step, I do think more should be done. Perhaps the next time a woman can take the reigns to discuss all the issues.

P.S. When I used to wear braids down to my back white people used to think that was my hair all.the.time. Even now when I’ve seen women wear curly wigs, I’ve seen white ladies come up like “Your hair is gorgeous!” So I wouldn’t assume they know its fake.

It is free at youtube. 6 parts including an update from London, England.

It explores the Korean Take-over of the Black Beauty Supply and Hair biz..

The current situation makes it hard to believe that Madame C.J. Walker once ran the whole thing.

I am not a hater, I am a motivator.

Plus I am a White guy who stumbled upon this, and felt it was so wrong I had to make a film about it.

self-funded film, made from the heart.

Can it be taken back?
