NHP Natural Hairstyle Myth Buster #93 

Natural hairstyles nhp approved

It's silly, but there are some natural hair extremists who say that if you straighten your hair IN ANY WAY or wear straight natural hairstyles, you aren't truly "natural".

This is 100% Wrong...

That is like saying combing or twisting your hair makes you "not natural" because you don't wake up with combed or twisted hair naturally before manipulating it. Nonsense.

Being "natural" simply means rejecting chemical alterations to the integral structure of your natural hair (i.e. perming and/or relaxing with chemical agents).

So don't listen to folks who try to authorize themselves and kick you out of the natural hair community by saying “if you straighten your hair you're not really natural” or “ANY and ALL heat will give you heat damage.”

And they are every bit as natural as those who wear kinky natural hairstyles for black women 24-7 and 365. So if you decide to grab your flat iron with built in comb for natural hair and change it up for a bit, do your THANG sis, and hey... Learn how to safely wear straight natural hairstyles HERE...
