The next natural hair movement…….
If their is another Natural hair movement I don’t think it will be like 2016 movement but more of a lifestyle great example, like black women in luxury it’s a lifestyle.
I do think a lot of black women are at their breaking point when it comes to straight lace front wigs. I honestly believe the straight lace front wigs was to reverse the work that was done in 2010s natural hair movement . It was the biggest disguised agenda and a lot of people don’t see it as that. I’m talking about the lace front wigs that don’t mimic our natural hair. 
Honestly, my fear even if there was another natural hair movement, I feel as though due to lack of knowledge, Black people would completely do it wrong, because they have not completely full understood till this day about Texturism and the full representation of black women. 
I have seen more than ever a lot of Black women and girls being very texturist online actually a lot more than ever. It has been long overdue for another natural hair movement. Also, ever since the recession that we are currently having after the pandemic, there has been more discourse about natural hair. While, after every recession there is a new popular black hairstyle that black women lean onto.
I think the next movement with focus more on healthy hair, 4 type hair coily hair getting the recognition and love that it deserves. Focussing more on hair porosity such as low, high and medium hair porosity as it is important.
Well, I don’t think removing hairstyles like weaves and wigs are extremely necessary. However making it an enhancer instead of a diminishing ones beauty. What I mean by this is instead of a straight Brazilian, Peruvian, Malaysian weaves/wigs how about using Afro kinky curly sew in, clip ins, tape ins, and v/u wigs. There should be a push for this a lot more now that technology has advanced in regards to 4 type hair textures. A push for more hairstyles/ protective styles that look more authentically to black women and a lot how to properly use these protective styles for proper hair health/growth.
Also to add a push to perceive shorter 4 type natural hair as feminine for Black women. Fully emphasizing not using a negative terms and statements about natural hair. Fully and completely removing the the anti-black language towards natural hair.
If there will be another natural hair movement, it needs to focus on the representation for 4 type hair, shorter natural hair/locs, and fine natural hair. The movement need to be on a control social platform that comments can be control or have some type of control on the platform
Also, more educating for more hair porosity to help more black women on what hair products to use on their Natural as this is vital for the movement/lifestyle.
Let’s see what this generation picks tbh I don’t know if another natural hair movement will ever come back since it’s been almost about 10 years since the last one……
