Ok, so I got a comment on a recent video that I did about a hair review. In the comment the person says, “I was just reading an article about black hair supply businesses not being able to get into the basically korean-owned market & I come on YouTube to see who? The weave queen lol Ironic! Will you ever show your real hair? Are you ashamed of the hair that grows out of your scalp? Is it the texture that bothers you? Black women need to understand the REASON why we covet this straight hair that we have to buy from other women! It’s so embarrassing.”
I’m all for freedom of speech and for people speaking what they believe, but just like they have the right to say what’s on their mind, I have the right to say what’s on my mine. When I decided to grow out my natural hair, I was super excited about the knowledge that I could receive from other women in the natural hair community on YouTube. I tried to go natural several years before, but gave up on that journey when I couldn’t track down the right resources to help me. The natural hair community has been such a blessing to me, but some of these ladies can be super annoying!
I think that it is commendable for anyone to get in front of a camera and share their experience(s) with the world, but in the natural hair community a few tend to try to bully others into feeling bad for the choices that they are making for themselves. I’ve read comments on other naturals’ channels where natural hair thugs are chastising the person that made the video because that person used a specific product that wasn’t 100% organic or because the person stated that she didn’t wash her hair every week or because the person decided to use weaves or wigs as a protective style! I really don’t understand what is going on and who crowned these thugs “Queen of the Naturals whose word is law”. The way that I see it, if someone is bold enough to sit in front of a camera and share their experiences in order to help educate others going through the same journey, the least you can do is appreciate them for the information that they are sharing. If you don’t like the information, then don’t apply it. I don’t think that anyone should be telling someone else what she should do or not do to her hair, unless the person specifically asks for your opinion. No one person’s opinion is law…especially when it comes to hair!
Whether a woman decides to wear weaves, wigs, relaxers, texturizers, or go natural shouldn’t it be that woman’s right to do what she feels works for her life and lifestyle?
(sorry, I had to bring a little Brooklyn up in here lol 
What is your opinion on this topic?
Hey Gorgeous, don't leave yet... Join me on: Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter for lots more :-)
True words. True words.
I agree with you, everybody can make their own choices, nobody’s opionion is law as you said, all these thugs should get themselves a job or at least a life.
I am recently on a natural hair journey and of course I protect it on with weave and braids, I admire your confidence and boldness.
Just let the haters hate, it your choice and if they can deal with it its their goddam business.
I am Nigerian and I so hate all this Afrocentric stupidity coming from people who have no idea what they are talking about.
Diva wear your hair as you pleases and forget all these bullshit.
Sorry for my language , am just so mad
I agree. I have been growing my hair out for a while now and sometimes get chastised for it because i chose NOT to do a big chop…instead i decided to just let my hair grow and little by little i trim the relaxed ends off…so according to the “Queens of Naturals” I am not technically one of them (natural) lol its ok sweetheart ur gorgeous…well we all are
so just keep doin what you’re doing
This is amazing!!! I am so ashamed of our sisters!! We can always find things to pull each other down. I have worn my hair in a variety of styles, and I strongly agree that hair is an accessory, so style it the way you want it. So, now I am a fully grown woman, who enjoys wearing my hair…that is right, let me say it again, MY HAIR, the way I want to…WEAVED!!! My advice is to never, never, let someone intimidate you to change just to make them happy. We have so many other important issues to deal with as sisters so why should we spend valuable time and energy on how we style our hair…PLEASE! Next, they will attack the fact that you wear high heels…been there too.
Song Bird Diva…you rock, you have a good heart, great positive energy. Just keep doing your thing. BTW…a little Brooklyn needs to come out sometime I bring some DC every now and then.
I am Nigerian too, girl. And you need to tell ‘em, I got my natural hair too and I weave it up and braid it up.. Do what you want with YOUR hair. key word YOUR. Dont mind them. Won ni kon se ni.
I completely agree Song Bird Diva!! This is what annoys me about Natural Hair “thugs”. You have the right to do what you want to do with YOUR hair!
I seriously love that you made this blog post! Your hair is not another’s concern
Dear Diva,
try not to get upset by narrow minded people like her, one should know that nobody has the right to tell one what to do with their body; unless you’ve been asked. the so called” Afro hair colonisatrice” need to know that the colonisation time had past long time ago, therefore you/we do not her dictature. she needs to get life!!!! la vie est belle for US DIVA.
You tell ‘em. Go girl. All your hair is beautiful whether bought or naturally grown.
