Team natural hair women decided that relaxing their hair or
wearing weaves is disgusting. They therefore decided to have
their hair in its God given form. In their hearts, they praise
themselves for being this original and taking a "bold move".
While there's nothing wrong with having one's hair in its
natural form, the problem arises when this women cannot let
the rest of humanity be. There's this self righteousness in
them. The belief that they are more African and true to
themselves than anybody else.
They can't rest till the whole world knows they are team
natural. They will flaunt their ugly blanket like hair all
over social media for all to see. They will kill us with
hashtags, Facebook groups and talk about their hair. Women in
dreadlocks look cool, stylish and spend a fortune maintaining
their locks "lakini hawatusumbui". Now, from which beauty cave
did team natural emerge from?
Before a poor woman can endure the burns of chemical on her
scalp, a team natural is shouting about how going natural is
the best decision she ever made. Methinks these women have
below the sea level self esteem; all they need is attention
and validation the same way women who dye their hair in
bright colors do.
In case team natural don't know, short relaxed hair and weaves
are also trendy. Whoever said women look terrible in weaves
should be flogged in public. Women in weaves are neat and many
of them know how to maintain their weave. Unlike the team
natural whose business with their hair remains a mystery.
Whatever a woman decides to do with her hair, let it be a
personal decision. It's cheap talk to call weaves "wearing
horse's hair". Then wearing shoes should also be phony because
it's wearing animal's skin. For this matter, team natural
should stop shouting their lungs out and keep their dusty,
kinky and difficult to maintain hair to themselves. Can a
plastic or wooden comb go through that thicket of hair
without breaking into pieces?
