It's Not! It's Just People Fear What They Don't Know or Don't Understand. And That is why I'm so excited about sharing my secrets of going natural journey with you. I have uncovered the truth why many African American women struggle to love and nurture their God-given hair. What has happened over the years is that too many women have simply bought into a lie. They either think that their natural hair may be unattractive or unprofessional (which is definitely not true). They fell pressured by loved ones (husbands, co-workers, or family members etc.) to look like every other woman. As if no one will accept you if you have natural hair. Trust me, these woman are not alone, and I can say that because I have personally been there myself. The problem I faced in going natural was a personal struggle. I honestly did not like what I saw in the mirror. As I crossed those hurdles, I began to see the very same issues with women all around me that had been contemplating going natural. It is really a battle within because I believe when you conquer yourself, the world (outsiders) are easy. Women we are always thinking about others. At the same time, we too forget that we deserve to be happy. Wanting everyone to be happy, but rarely are we happy. And it's sad that so many woman are just flat out scared of what other people may think of them. We have women who can't even live their own life (or where their own hair) because of the opinions of others.

I will show you the Top 3 methods for the transition and teach you how to select the best one for you.

Download or read book Twisted written by Emma Dabiri and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kirkus Best Book of the Year Stamped from the Beginning meets You Can't Touch My Hair in this timely and resonant essay collection from Guardian contributor and prominent BBC race correspondent Emma Dabiri, exploring the ways in which black hair has been appropriated and stigmatized throughout history, with ruminations on body politics, race, pop culture, and Dabiri’s own journey to loving her hair. Emma Dabiri can tell you the first time she chemically straightened her hair. She can describe the smell, the atmosphere of the salon, and her mix of emotions when she saw her normally kinky tresses fall down her shoulders. For as long as Emma can remember, her hair has been a source of insecurity, shame, and—from strangers and family alike—discrimination. And she is not alone. Despite increasingly liberal world views, black hair continues to be erased, appropriated, and stigmatized to the point of taboo. Through her personal and historical journey, Dabiri gleans insights into the way racism is coded in society’s perception of black hair—and how it is often used as an avenue for discrimination. Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, and into today's Natural Hair Movement, exploring everything from women's solidarity and friendship, to the criminalization of dreadlocks, to the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids. Through the lens of hair texture, Dabiri leads us on a historical and cultural investigation of the global history of racism—and her own personal journey of self-love and finally, acceptance. Deeply researched and powerfully resonant, Twisted proves that far from being only hair, black hairstyling culture can be understood as an allegory for black oppression and, ultimately, liberation.
