5 ways to tell if you are a Natural Hair Snob!

1. Your face contorts when you see a ‘sister’ with a weave longer than Rupunzel. In fact any kind of    weave is offensive to you.

2. It bothers you that a so called ‘natural’ has coloured their hair, and to add salt to the wound, its  blond!

 3. You turn your nose up to a ‘natural’ that doesn’t use all natural hair products on her skin, face arms and legs. They even wear makeup to make matters worse.

 

4. You become hot under the collar if a fellow natural likes to rock ‘twist outs’, ‘flat outs ‘ or just plain ‘abc outs ‘and hasn’t chosen to embrace their natural curl pattern (assuming they have one)

5. It bothers you if a ‘natural’ happens to be rocking a weave or braids and she is ‘natural’underneath. However according to the natural laws, they still aren’t natural.

Personally I think its important that we try to stay away from rigid titles and methods that put people into boxes. I would like to see more woman embracing the hair that grows out of their head and see people working with their own hair rather than using weaves and extensions as a crutch. However, I don’t consider you less natural because you choose to colour your own hair or wear a weave as a protective style. Ultimately we have to accept people for who they are and the choices they make. Educate and then leave it up to the individual.
