Because having nappy hair...hurts.

I owe an update of my locs' 7th month birthday. I didn't forget! I just have to find to take awesome photos on my Blackberry. I left my camera charger at my Mom's house 4 hours away. Boo.

But in the meantime, check out this vid.

THIS is the reason why little Black girls screeeeam at the sight of a comb.





This is insane!! Why is her Momma (but I bet you $10 that's her cousin) combing her hair like that?

-And why is it taking so long?
-And why didn't she section her hair?
-And what the hell is she spritzing in her hair?

-And why is she so rough?


So many questions. My Mom/cousins never combed my hair THAT hard but I remember hating to get my hair done because let's be honest...

Having nappy hair

hurts

I will never forget the day my Mom made me go to school with my hair lookin' like a ragga muffin' because I was a hot cryin' mess. I didn't want her to comb it. And so she didn't.

---One of the after school teachers ended up hookin' me up with a style though.

But still.

Little nappy headed girls never get to glorify and love their natural hair because they always associate it with PAIN.

Moms with babies who have thicker hair, please be gentle. Remember what it was like when you got your hair combed. And to my permies....having nappy hair STILL hurts for y'all. I don't know what's worse. Having my natural hair combed or letting a perm sit on my head for a few minutes. You would try to endure the pain because you wanted your hair to be as straight as possible. Now that's pain. And whether natural or permed....

But it doesn't have to.
