Natural vs. Permed

Disclaimer: There is no type of confirmation that the hair styles by the women in this picture is either. I just found these pictures off of the internet and used it as a image to show those of you who may not know the difference.

Before I get into this rant, lemme clarify something very briefly. Natural means no chemicals, not "not wearing weave." Alot of people get that mixed up. Not wearing weave has nothing to do really with being natural.

This is a big debate, espicially since perms are basically going out of style. Women (including myself) are going back to our "regular" hair and embracing our afros. Some still decide to get perms, not that I am judging those of you who do.

Do you have natural or permed hair? If your hair has a relaxer or texturizer, THAT IS STILL CONSIDERED PERMED.

I am natural. I was happy and excited to go back to natural. The perm had my hair slayed and it was healthy for the most part, however it just continued to break off and give me split ends. Plus, at the time, my hair was already 80% natural so it made more sense to just the relaxed ends off.

What I hate is when natural girls attack permed girls like they are fucking experts about hair. Excuse the FUCK out of you. Just because you got that fro does not mean you know every fucking thing about hair. Everyone hair is different and guess what? They can do whatever they want to it.

I also get mad when people say ignorant ass shit like, "You have nappy hair. You not natural. Natural hair people have nice curls. You don't have curls. Those are napps."

Bitch.....what the entire fuck? What does having a coily hair pattern have any fucking thing to do with having natural hair? What does having wavy hair have to do with no longer having a chemical in your hair? Napps or not, its still considered natural. Don't go around spreading them lies like that. Wtf is wrong with you?

If you get perms, that's you. However, if you want to continue to get them, I strongly suggest you guys do research and find out what's really in it. I forgot which Youtube video it was, but it was talking about the complications of perms.

Within the vid, it said something like there are chemicals in perms that strip your hair follicles and that contain the same "components" or whatever you wanna use to describe it as those drainage...liquids.

You know them things you pour down the drain to unclog it? That. I forgot what it was called. Excuse my brain fart.

And stop fucking thinking that just because a black woman wears afros are going to go protest? Like....what dumb ass thought that? Tf? We can't wear afros in peace no more? What the hell?

Spread the word. Love your hair regardless. Some people who are natural talk alot of shit about perms but yet consistantly put heat on their hair. Thats like calling the kettle black. Both are bad. Heat damage is worse than perm damage but lemme sip my tea and keep it pushing.

Any new suggestions? Wanna talk? Wanna chill? Hit me up. Fwm. I'm cool as shit. How y'all been doing? Good? Awesome.
