The Magic In Our Hair Is Its Versatility.
Black Hair Things:
Wigs were not invented by white people. Whenever a discussion about cultural appropriation arises the first thing said is that wigs on black women are also appropriation. Unlearn that. Wigs have long existed in Africa, and some have been found in tombs alongside our black queens in Ancient Egipt. Look it up.
Black hair grows at the same rate and speed as any other race. But our hair is sensitive and needs care, so you need to enforce a haircare routine so it won't break. If they tell you black hair does not grow, don't believe them.
"Good hair" is an invention. You decide what is good or bad simply by changing your mind on what good looks like. If it is hard to see the beauty in your hair simply change the content you consume. Follow black people on social media who wear their natural hair, see more black movies, and read about black hair history and hairstyle meanings.
Most self-hate issues can be helped (not fixed) by positive representation. You will first see, second love and third copy.
