Any one with typical hair could sport a messy bun no problem, why couldn't Gabby? and her hair was not supposed the focus of the olympics :S<br /><br />and Thanks! Me neither, but that's the rep it's got with the older folks of the african american community. I'm pretty sure it's a trend african americans started to dislike their own natural hair texture. I don't think other cultures see it that way.<br /><br />i can talk about hair forever, haha :PAve Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607599820425288692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444720026191931260.post-89894944651390296512012-10-22T14:00:41.805-04:002012-10-22T14:00:41.805-04:00Ahh so that's what relaxing is.

I think most African American women I know have relaxed hair then. <br /><br />One girl I knew in high school would always do braided extensions/weaves and I always encouraged her to leave her hair natural but she said her scalp had been damaged because of the extensions and weaves she always wore so she didn't like to do natural hair. :( <br /><br />I remember the drama that Gabby Douglas' hair caused after her first day out competing in the olympics this summer. All that drama over hair. I never knew until then what hair meant to the african american community. <br /><br />For what it's worth, I love your hair and think you rock the fro. And I can't think of a single person who I've seen that had a fro or dreads that looked unkempt or dirty.

African americans' hair naturally grows how mine is and not until recently has it been "accepted" in the african american community (fros have been viewed as unkempt, dirty, inappropriate, etc... since the slave days and the notion still exists :O). most african american women relax their hair starting around age 6 or so (hair is a big thing in the african american community, ie: Chris Rock's documentary Good Hair, lol)<br /><br />You probly would've never known if you didn't ask :3 Ave Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607599820425288692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444720026191931260.post-75537423952517734982012-10-15T13:58:56.683-04:002012-10-15T13:58:56.683-04:00So this will likely show my total ignorance in the...So this will likely show my total ignorance in the whole matter but what do you mean by Michelle Obama and her daughters not having natural hair? <br /><br />Do they have a wig/extensions? Or do they just style their hair to look the way it does? Or is it something else completely? Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005380942522709051noreply@blogger.com
