Why Kinky and Curly?

Based on past traditions from what our mothers, grandmothers, and even the hair care industry itself; We have been led to believe that our hair is doomed to be frizzy and unmanageable. Our mothers and grandmother's use negative words such as "nappy" and "bad hair" when referring to our hair type. Even the hair care industry which is laden with products to alter our natural hair texture such as relaxers and texturizers are guilty in this matter. We as black women think of our hair as a curse instead of a blessing, but this is far from the truth! Our hair is made the way it is for a reason and once you understand why you will learn to embrace it.

If you look at all the parts of the world and pay close attention to the weather conditions you will learn to understand why God made your hair the way it is. In European and Asian countries the hair is straighter because it is colder and not as much sunlight. The scalp and skin does not need as much protection from the sun as it does in Southren countries. This even goes for the skin color. Melanoma helps protect the skin from the sun, but in conditions where sunlight isn't in abundance, this isn't needed as much.

Now looking a Africa, sunlight is abundant. The weather is hot and dry so our hair is curlier and/or kinky to protect our scalps from damage from the sun. Or skin contains more melanoma as well which aids in protection from the sun. God made us the way we are because it actually benefits us. Your hair is not a curse, but a blessing! Isn't that a beautiful thing?

Learn to love your beautiful black hair in it's natural state and rid yourself of every negative thought you have about your hair. Once you can achieve this then you are ready to transition to natural hair.
