The New Movement

The natural hair is an official movement for black woman all around the world that are tired of having all those chemicals and processes in their hair. Some women would say that what influenced them to make the change was a Chris Rock documentary known as Good Hair encourage them to make the change. For those of you that haven't watched the movie, it is about hair in the black community and the products and other things black woman do to their hair. Some of it may seem extreme and even absurd but what he captures in this documentary is true (unfortunately). A quote from the movie said by the black comedian Paul Mooney, "If your hair is relaxed the white are relaxed, but if your hair is nappy their not happy." That statement alone indicates that as a community, black people have been brainwashed in thinking that we have to blend i with society being that the majority of society is white, we have to look as close to them as we can. Even my Mom is guilty of this. Here is a preview of the documentary:

I recommend anyone from any background watch this documentary. It is very enlightening.
