      It's so weird, strange, ridiculous and stupid hearing them say, 'I want to buy hair. As in 'how'? Didn't God create you with hairs? Even if Europeans buy and use wigs, those wigs they buy conform to and are in the same shape, form and texture of their natural hairs. So what the h*ck are most of our women doing? Do some even think at all?

      Many of us continue to wear these styles and do not follow trends. We knew that creativity and individuality are very important to us, from our hair to our shoes. We had Tina Turner; then Lil Kim and Foxy Brown and today, it's Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. Our ladies move further away from themselves every ten years to become what attracts the worst men. When you keep it real, that's what you'll get. I still love my afro and so does he, we are the most beautiful beings all will ever see...😉

      As a 7 year old I was desperate to wear my hair like this because my Nigerian friend threaded her hair but my Mom could only manage large cornrows. When I was a teenager the bigger the afro the better trying to make a statement was not part of my thought process. We just wanted our hair like our friends. I've had relaxers, natural, braids as beautiful as Beyonce is I have no desire to attempt to look like her

Which an educated person would know that. FYI, if you look at Africa and religion, they follow they colonizer. Nigeria is unique because of Islam & Christianity.. Due to Arab & British wanting Nigeria. ANGOLA mostly catholic because of portuguese, MALI mostly muslim because of Arabs and so forth 🙄 😒. Alot of Nigerians need to educate themselves. In Carribeans due to British they are Christians. True education is important. And there is nothing wrong with why our ancestors worship God. Unfortunately, you didn't educate yourself enough.

    Chimamanda, what a beautiful name.
    🙏🏾🕊⚡️
    Chimanda is a compound Igbo name, combining the words Chima which means God knows or God will not fall/fail, and Amanda which translates to not falling or not failing. Thus, the complete name, Chimamanda, resonates with the profound belief that My God will not fall/fail me.

    she is so correct...it a certain set of people who think that they define beauty and if a black woman don't wear their hair long and curly or straight to them they are not beautiful... but the thing is in my opinion it's because their hair can't do all of what a black woman hair can do.

      African people come in all shades and sizes. We ain't all black/dark-skinned. Some are fair, some light-skinned, some albinos, some brown. Stop identifying us by color when you can just use our race, country of origin, tribe and religion. Color is the most ridiculous way of identifying us. We ain't all dark skinned so it doesnt make any sense. Especially since black isnt a race. We are Africans. We know who we are and where we come from, we ain't confused.
