Are Black Women Slaves To Their Hair?

Some angry black woman had a right old rant on News week online website yesterday about Zahara Pitt's hair being unruly and a 'hot mess'. She said how Angie had no idea how to handle black hair and when Zarah looks at her pictures when she is older, she will feel neglected. Just who does this woman think she is insulting a 4 year olds hair because it is not relaxed? Zahara has lovely curly hair that most mixed raced children and most Ethiopians have. It does not require perming or hot combing it is soft. Is she envious and wishes she had the 4 year olds hair? As she sounds very bitter and darn rude. Its a fact a lot of black women are slaves of their hair they spend every minute weaving perming going through hours at the hair dressers, to disguise its natural texture, its like they have a fear or a denial of it. Its so sad that they put their young daughters through hours of agony and dunking of hair grease and perming and relaxing at such a young age. No wonder why when they reach 20 they hardly have any hair left and resort to weave. Tell me what is wrong with natural kinks and curls what God intended you to have? What is wrong with rocking a natural fro? Didn't India Arie say I am not my hair so how come a large population of black women have become that a walking hair?. Ive heard stories how black women have put weave before food most of their pay cheque goes on their hair, an over styled heap of dead woman's hair or synthetic hair from Korea.
I actually have long curly hair but like Zahara hated it being over styled as I have a sensitive head, so would have lose pony tails and would have a curly fro just like her when I was a toddler. Can someone tell me what is wrong with that? Black women need to understand it is only hair, protein, if you cut it it will grow back what is the big deal? There is more to a black woman than her hair yet there are ignorant small minded people like the author of that article who judge black women and babies on the texture of their hair how foolish.

Here is the foolish womans article her name is Allison
