NESSessary said...: lol i always laugh when people say "I can't go natural..." Yes, you can, but you won't. There's a difference. However, saying "I won't go natural" sounds really harsh I suppose, but still...lol.; September 15, 2010 at 10:26 AM
suga said...: People say that to me all the time: "I love your natural hair but I could never do it. You have the face/head/style for it. I'd look a mess" Then I have to bust out the picture from 2000 when I had the fresh relaxer with my hair falling down my back and ask them, "Did I look like I thought I could go natural? Anybody can go natural and look good with it. Why would God bless you with hair that wouldn't naturally look good on you?" I dont know where people get this, "you have to look a certain way to be natural" mindset. I look like "a natural" because I AM one. And as soon as you become one, you'll look like "a natural", too lol; September 30, 2010 at 2:20 PM
