Recently, I’ve been visiting a plethora of natural hair web sites and I saw something that stood out to me. Plenty of “naturals” think it cool to go natural and not wear any make-up; girl what? Ladies, if you’re an earthy, care-free, Erykah Badu type then maybe “in your world”, this is okay. However, for the average diva on any given day you’re never caught without: fake eyelashes, 26” Indian hair, luxury bags and a bad pair of stilettos; so what are they saying? Now, I’ve been wearing weave since I was five years old ( YES 5), and to be a single African-American woman in America, your telling me to take the weave out AND not wear make-up, HELL NAW! Some “naturals” just take things wayyyy to serious, for example: if you’re natural and you straighten your hair, you’re denying yourself or if you wear extensions every once in a while, you’re not a true natural. Why do you care that much? To live in a world that’s based upon conformity, I respect any African-American woman that is brave enough to walk outside with her natural hair! Living in today’s society, it’s cool to be natural but you have to step your game up! For example, you can’t afford to have a bad day, you need some long “fly” earrings and your face has to be beat! Nobody wants to see “candy man” walking down the street with sweaty curls and a bare face! I appreciate those ladies that carry their natural hair well, to everyone else get out of “peter pan land” and put on some make-up, the world will be pleased!

You said that!!!!!!
Very interesting I definitely agree with the fact that even if you are natural you should definitely maintain yourself. You can wear light make-up if you prefer not wearing make-up at least add a gloss or something to your lips. Women should care about how they look when they step out the door even on a bad day lol
Yes mam!!! thank you for your comment, because that's all we are really trying to say. Natural can be FIERCE it just takes paying attention to detail. And by detail we mean eye shadow, lip gloss, a little concealer here or there. You don't have to step out looking like a tranny but you shouldn't look like a fool either. Make natural exciting!!!!
