I’m commenting because giving a ❤️like doesn’t feel like it conveys my full appreciation for the WEALTH of informative, fascinating news and noteworthy commentary you’ve shared here —most of which hadn’t reached my (extremely online) timeline or inbox at all.

Really appreciated the Why of the Beyoncé long natural hair reveal because I feel like a lot of us applauded her response and moved on (I saw a few comments that her video reflects a change in that celeb products and hair lines can no longer coast on being successful by association anymore; consumers demand proof that they actually use it themselves) but the breakdown you provided is really important and I’ll be thinking about that for a while 🙏🏾

(Deep Breath) As a white woman, I assume most white women look at the time and effort involved in protective styles and assume it would be easier to maintain if the natural hair underneath was short. I wasn't thinking of the breakage aspect, but the time aspect.

However, I would never ask if someone's hair is natural or enhanced because it's not my business!

There reason is a reason as well! I think the bigger idea is that there are so many reasons, and that it's more fun and interesting to respect + celebrate those reasons versus finding reasons to criticize and speculate. At least for me :)
