Okay, I'm sick of the hair debate... Chris Rock's "Good Hair" documentary.

My ranting thread on BHM today:
"I'm venting. I'm watching Chris Rock on Tyra. Okay, I'm getting sick of this "hair" debate (good/bad, long/short, kinky/straight). Chris Rock has gone on ALL the shows to promote his movie (I've seen him on Oprah (twice!), The View, The Monique Show, and The Tyra Show). I can't knock his grind/hustle, and maybe this subject needed to be brought to light...
*BUT*
I can't understand the power that people have given hair.
I can't understand how people who wear extensions say they feel ugly without them.
I can't understand how some people say they can't let their significant other see their "real" hair.
I can't understand the male mentality that values a woman's hair (length/texture) over her personality/heart. That seems pretty shallow to me.

There was a lady on Tyra that was scared to reveal her real hair to her husband. Tyra just said she didn't want one of her boyfriends to see her getting her weave done. Why not?

I'm standing by everything I'm saying here. I wear LFs to grow my hair out, but I wear my hair out too. My hair is short and curly (in my avi) right now. My man sees me with short hair, and with my LFs. He sees me putting my LF on and taking it off. He loves me with my hair anyway he sees it."

I'm sick of it! I know this is so ironic, since I have a blog titled "Magic Hair". The thing is, I'm not a slave to my hair. My hair doesn't dictate my life. I will swim, shower, workout, and whatever else I want to. Especially since I'm no longer using heat on my head, I feel free. So what if it rains? My hair loves water. My hair loves being short, and my hair is having fun growing longer everyday. I love that I comb my hair even less now, since it's curly. It's like the less I do to it, the better it performs. I was talking with my daughter (a hair professional), and I asked her if it's possible for black women to stop straightening their hair. Why have we come to associate nappy hair as bad hair? Even though I textlax my hair every 3-4 months, if not combed, it's as nappy as sheep wool. And during the time my LF is off, I don't comb my hair. I let it stay coily and springy and I love it. Lacefronts have strictly become a protective style for me. I don't pretend the hair is mine (that's grown out of my head), and if anyone asks me if it's a wig, I say that it is. Ain't no shame in my game. I'm just up in arms now that society has deemed nappy hair "bad hair". This ain't over... :-(

I do plan on going to see the movie though.

All the videos are finished!

All the videos are finished. I don't know what else to video on lace wigs for now. That's all that I do. Cut the lace, apply the fake scalp, apply the wig, remove the wig, and wash the wig. I won't be doing any real knot bleaching. I'm done with the real bleach. I'm not burning any more hair off any more wigs. Not worth it. I do need to get more Deep Glow spray. Other than that, I videoed me cutting the lace on the unit that Princess gifted me. It's a lovely 18" Virgin Malaysian straight. I can't believe how bleached the knots are. Rex did a great job. The knots in the back aren't bleached, but that's okay. I can spray them. I won't put this one on until the first week of September, when my sister comes to visit me.

Great positive feedback for the videos. It's a very rewarding feeling. A little hateration about me "finally letting my hair grow" or something of that nature. I'm not going to even entertain that. My hair has never not grown. It grows, and I used to always rock a short cut. The older I get, the less I want to be fooling with my hair. Lace wigs aren't much maintenance to me. Once I get it on, it's mainly in a ponytail unless we go out, but I did bowl in a ponytail yesterday. It's just hair. Anyway, thanks for the support of the YouTube channel. Once I reach my natural hair goal, I will do natural hair videos too. I'm responding to the fact that a lot of people are visual.
