We are in a crisis in this country and around the globe with the amount of Black women still sporting weave, wig, braid, and all the nasty-ass false hair that I cannot stand to see.<\/p>

Jesus help me. I hate to see it. For some of these women, everything on them is fake fake fake to blood and bumboclaat. Fake eyelashes, fake eyebrows, fake nails that look like claws, and fake hair. I’m so tired of seeing it. If you throw a bucket of water on some of these women, their whole face will wash off. I swear to Jah.<\/p>

Black people are still in denial about the true nature of their “preference” for false, straight hair. We know that it is a historical prejudice we built against ourselves in societies across the world as we experienced the racism that was part and parcel of the colonial experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We know that lighter skin and straight hair were and are still highly prized attributes in the human body in Black societies, because our opinions are still subtly and subconsciously influenced by these malignant, racialized ideas about human beauty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

To this day, people still use the phrase, “black and ugly” which is to say, that they considered the person they’re referencing unattractive by the mere fact of their dark tone.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is still more the norm for men to have their hair barbered down to the scalp, than to sport any hair whatsoever. It is still the norm for women to destroy their healthy natural hair with irons and chemicals in an attempt to replicate the appearance of hair in other racial groups.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are norms we learn as children and simply never question.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God, I hate to see it. Weaves that are unbeweavable. Multicoloured braids that scream, “ghetto”. Yall fingers are sticky with grease from digging in ya unwashed itchy head whole day, but you wouldn’t stop with your foolishness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then there’s the hair loss. Hair loss is a deeply painful thing to deal with for men and women but especially for women. It can happen due to genetic factors, or due to conditions or diseases, or due to environmental factors, or due to THE MUTHF*CKIN STRESS THAT SOME WOMEN PUT ON THEIR HAIR EVERY DAMN DAY WITH TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT STYLES OR BRAIDS TIED INTO THEIR SCALPS SO TIGHT THAT IT’S PULLING ON THEIR BRAINS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lord, help us. This too is a source of denial – when hair loss or thinning occurs because of the stress placed on the hair, excessive pulling and tension and twisting, or chemical treatments that have had contact with the scalp, women just ignore it. And pretend as if nothing is wrong.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too many black women are reaching their 40s and 50s and 60s with serious hair damage not caused by any factors other than destructive false hair rituals that have damned their scalps over years. It has to stop. For the love of Black Jesus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The tragedy, is that when the damage is done, some often have no choice left but to sport false hair, in order to feel comfortable in public. Yet, they go and watch their daughters and grandchildren do the same thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have our girls coming up, and we’re teaching them to perm, press, iron, braid and corn row and cover up their hair with wigs. For what exactly? And we tell ourselves “it’s just a preference” and that it has nothing to do with how we view our features as people of Black African descent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Women in Brazil and India have a whole industry of growing, cutting, packaging and selling their hair so that Black women in the Caribbean, North America, Europe and Africa can sew it, glue it, weave it, and paste it onto their heads – anything to escape the apparently ugly reality of the kinky afro hair that the God most them claim to believe in, put on their damn heads.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine, we have whole blogs and websites dedicated to advising Black women, whether to choose “real Indian” or “real Brazilian” hair. We buy other people’s hair. Anybody buying our hair????<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

YOU SEE ANYBODY AT THE GOTDAMN BARBER SHOP PICKING UP BLACK PEOPLE’S HAIR OFF THE GROUND TO SELL IT?? WHY YALL DON’T BUY 100 %\u00a0 BARBER SHOP FLOOR AFRO HAIR? HMMMMM??<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of yall have braids that look like you picked up an old rope from your yard and cut it up and stuck it to your damn heads. It NEEDS TO STOP. Yall training yall girl children to hate themselves and not even know it – to feel unsatisfied in their own skin and with their own hair for no other reason than the fact that you passed on your prejudice to them without knowing you had a prejudice. STOP IT.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of yall treat the fake straight hair as the holy grail. You break it out for weddings, birthdays, and special occasions – to look your best. Because we have been taught to believe that natural hair can never have be our best.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of yall have hairlines in retreat with the damage done by constant tension or chemicals, and are still using the hairs thin hairs in the edge of ya hairline to twist in braids. ARE YOU MAD?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND JESUS FATHER GOD, don’t get me started on the nasty baby hair \/edges trend that they HAVE. Slicking and swirling the thinner hairs in the front into all sorts of ghetto-warrior styles. Puke. It looks disgusting. It is abomination unto God and man. Nasty swirly stupidity making greasy designs on people’s foreheads. Makes me want to vomit. The ***k are you doing?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And why can’t women just sport an afro? Why are the styling standards for women, for natural afro hair so damn high? Seriously. When you ask some women why they ditched their natural hair, they say because it was too much to maintain. But that’s not the truth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What they really meant to say was, society does not approve of them simply having a simply short or medium, unstyled afro as a day-to-day style. Society expects women with natural hair to rigorously style it into all kinds or plaits and twists and knots and curls and puffs, everyday, and on the days when they can’t be bothered, their women friends tell them, “You’re having a bad hair day.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, they just slap some relaxer or some perm on that sucker and call it George. Now society is happy again. Or, they cornrow that sucker down and slap a cap over it, and the hair of some random woman in Calcutta. Now society is happy again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then there’s a reluctance to just trim their hair to a short or medium fro. They simply MUST try to grow it out, then complain that it’s too much to care for. That’s because more hair means more maintenance. Just trim your fro and go about your day. Or pull it back in one. Use your head.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And this brings me to another point. The social construct of what is acceptable and not acceptable for Black women’s hair is largely maintained and policed by other Black women. It has virtually nothing to do with men whatsoever.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If fact, women underestimate the number of men who’d prefer to see them with their natural hair as opposed to all the fakery glued on to their scalps. Natural hair women are far more attractive, frankly. They look normal, healthy, and at peace, and not fake and glossy. There’s nothing I love to see more than a healthy head of normal hair on a luscious Black woman.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But women? Oh boy. They compete in the fakery department. Whose hair cost the most? Who got the neatest sew in? Is it 100% Brazilian? Whose hair lady does the best job? Whose edges are looking the best? Yuck.<\/p>\n
