(BLACK WOMEN ONLY)
Black girls, we need to love our hair. Not the shallow, performative, "Black hair is beautiful" I see here.
We need to be obsessed with our kinks. We need to start looking at our type 4 hair with heart eyes.
Because as a collective, we dont love our hair enough

We need to love our hair to the point where if we had to choose between our kinks and 30inch Malaysian, we'd choose our afro. We need to love our hair to the point where whenever we want to go to a professional/formal event, we won't bring out weaves. We need to love
type 4 hair to the point that we see it as professional, 'chic' and formal, instead of thinking straight hair is the only way black women can be 'glamorous' or be in 'luxury'.
We need to love our puffy hair. I know its a journey, but we need to love our hair more than we do

I remember when those 'Black Women In Luxury™' posts were popular, and almost all the black women had on weave/straight hair. Are you guys not seeing the message we're sending ourselves?? We wear our kinks for everyday, casual looks, but when its serious, we wear weaves.
What are we subconsciously telling ourselves??! Even some of the jokes we make about our hair, comparing our kinks to nb folks hair in a derogatory manner.
I used this lockdown period to create a steady routine and take care of my kinks and I'm now obsessed with my hair

But I come here and see the stark difference in my mentality and that of other bw, even the most pro-black.
And before someone brings up 'protective styling', lemme address that. Protective styling is important to black hair and almost everyone of us does it, including me

My hair wouldnt have gotten this far without protective styling. Braids, locks, sew-ins etc
But, some of you need to ask yourself why the only protective style you always have on is bone straight Asian hair.
11½ months of the year, you're in weave. We need to start-

asking ourselves the hard questions. This thread isn't malicious at all, I just want to start a conversation with my fellow black sisters and beg that we need to fall harder in love with our hair.
We are literally the only race with kinky hair.

We should be flaunting it in everyone's faces and gushing about how magical it is. I dont think we're doing that enough. I think we need to change the way we see and talk about our hair.

Of course my words have been misconstrued, because, Twitter. I didn't mean literally being obsessed with our hair like our lives revolve around it, I meant loving our kinks more than any other texture/type of hair.
I'm not telling bw to make their hair the most important thing
