It's true. While I have learned a great deal by watching helpful videos on YouTube, I have also been called every name in the book. I get at least 10 comments a day about how "Black" I am (um...okay) to how hideous my hair is. It's the norm and I've learned to delete those comments the way you delete spam in your inbox. My hair video Pelo Negro gets the most hate. I get far right and far left too. Some folx will say...
"Yeah, Black hair is the best and Black people are the best and we rule this world."
And then I'll get..
"Black people are the worst, their hair sucks and White people rule the world."
Ridic, right? Check this one out....
Can you believe that? "Locs forces the hair in a militant state"? I don't mean to put this user on blast but they already did so by commenting on my video. Without bashing this person's existence (I ain't gon lie...I wanted to b/c I thought this statement was INSANE), what do you think about this statement?
OH--and Happy Black History Month!!! Or life if you celebrate it everyday like me. :)

If you call them locs you're locking up your hair if you call them dreads then you're calling your hair bad. You can't win.
wow. i'm shocked. all i have to say is, "I LOVE LOCS." so call it whatcha want, "locked up," "dreaded," whateva. i like it & that's all that matters.
People are always going to talk. I love your blog! I love your hair. I just recently did the BC and started my locs before my final semester of college. KEEP DOING YOU!
Hair is a freedom...FREEDOM (not a locked)...of expression, so express yourself however you want to.
WOW! They really could've kept that comment to themselves! They are always quick to give an opinion about "our" culture! I received a comment from a lady that just could not understand why I would want to loc my hair...I told her "It's not for you to understand..it's my crown and I will rock it however I choose!
The internet has made it very easy to find out how many crazy people live in this world. Because it allows for anonymity, people get the courage to say things they would NEVER, EVER say to your face. I just chalk it up to ignorance and keep it moving.
