Myth 5: You

smoke crack if
you rock a natural. Wow! I
couldn’t make
this shit up if I
tried. I’ve never
smoked that ish
and don’t plan
to either. You
will not turn into
a crackhead
sitting in a bird
coop clucking at
everyone if you go natural.

I have gotten nothing but positive feedback
since I’ve gone natural especially from my
sistahs. It saddens me that all of us who
have chosen to go natural haven’t had the
same experience. There is nothing wrong either way you go but whatever the next sistah does don’t knock her for her decision,
embrace her. And lastly back to India Arie’s
song, don’t define yourself solely by your
hair.
