Even today (i washed my hair last saturday) a girl i know, dark skinned, commetned that I need to relax my hair because it didnt look nice. She is quite obsessed with her appearance and relaxes her hair a lot, its bone straight.  I told her that Im NEVER relaxing it again and she gave me a weird look and left.

I feel that the relaxer is deep rotted in American and black AMerican history.
Its always the brown skinned girls saying "I an 100% black, all African and proud". But they wear weaves and relax it all the time. They even make fun of people with nappy hair and ones that are really dark.

For example: this brownskinned girl made an HUGE announcement about getting hair extensions,ew, and kept fishing for comliments. SHe is super annoying, especially being self-centered.

I must add: There are many girls at my school who would never wear their natural,unstraightened hair. I feel all badasses compared to them lol.

Has anyone witnessed this? BTW, I live in Louisiana and you'd think more women would proudly sport braids and dreads.
