In many corporate settings, and even ordinary job settings, natural african hair is considered unnacceptable. For this reason, it would be a great benefit if the First Lady would take a stand in style and legitimize natural hair for the nation!gloo6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275931766761393152.post-866052220383220872010-05-20T10:56:19.330-07:002010-05-20T10:56:19.330-07:00I am Black British and I am natural and at the end...I am Black British and I am natural and at the end of the day it should not matter how Michelle Obama chooses to wear her hair so long as she is happy with herself. My mum is now relaxed but when she was younger her hair was natural, she was even married with a fro and she's about the same age as Michelle. When they were growing up many black people had an afro and dreadlocks, it was the fad at the time. Hair is just hair and as black women we need to embrace and respect how we all wear our hair from braids to weaves and relaxers to wigs and plain old natural tresses. I am not my hair.Slyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468174295138606391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275931766761393152.post-41213386015824293442010-05-20T02:52:32.781-07:002010-05-20T02:52:32.781-07:00Despite this being an age-old topic, it really sti...Despite this being an age-old topic, it really still baffles me how the decision to wear one's hair naturally is one of political value! My afro MEANS something...it represents and points to concepts bigger than its size upon my head! And now concerning Michelle, it's like we're saying: what does this mean for Black women in America and abroad if the First Lady decides to do the Big Chop and grow her hair without using chemicals? <br /><br />GOODNESS!! <br /><br />Even though I'd like to say, I don't care either way, we cant ignore the unfailing repurcussions. Nevertheless, it should not matter! Dare I say, hair is hair...yet we all know the discussion is never that simple...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532921528895440703noreply@blogger.com
