    Firstly, wow.
    Many people grow up not knowing how to take care of their hair. I hope that in future these lessons are taught in every county in every country across the world.

    I stop wearing extentions and now I just have it natural or in braids without additional hair. I'm proud of it. I grew up with the mindset that many african people have bad hair. That perception came from slavery. However, those with wavy, straight, or curly hair has supposedly "good hair" which I can't stand this term. we all need to enjoy our hair and take pride in it.

    This should be in the curriculum in African countries that cut young girls hair for school instead of styling it traditionally to last a couple of weeks at a time If they did this girls develop high esteem in their natural hair and leave school with good lengths and healthy hair which they can style so many ways instead of going straight into wearing weaves

    I wish I'd had those three tips when I was a lot younger. My hair journey did start with advice from my aunties, but then I got sucked into a cycle of buying new products. Every article, every video, it's all try this new product or that new product. Simplifying my haircare routine and being patient changed how I felt when it came to listening to my hair. I thought I was, but at the time I was using it as an excuse to try a new oil or product or tool.
    I mean it was positive enthusiasm but in the wrong direction. There were plenty of days where I loved my hair, but too many days when I felt the need to find something to fix it. These days I love my hair everyday and focus on keeping it healthy.

      How about your stop judging black women for how they choose to live their own life? Maybe focus less on insults followed up with "blessings" and try for respect and humility.
      There are plenty of black women who respect their natural hair and still use weaves and wigs. Great protective styles for natural hair come in all shapes and sizes. Also, we don't need random internet comments to make our decisions for us. It's not helpful and definitely doesn't achieve what you think it does.

There is no universe where I would ever tell any of my sisters how they should care for their hair because I respect them and their ability to make their own decisions. How is that confusing for you? Someone asks me for an opinion or for advice I would give it, I'm not attacking random women because I think I'm better than them and know their lives better than they do.
