Okay so I'm going to go here and I just hope I don't personally offend anyone.
You know when you start something off like that chances are you will offend someone. SMH
As of late, the natural hair debate has kind of taken over. I feel like it's the newest trend. I personally love it.
Am I natural?? NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!! LOL!!! But I still love all of the styles and the way that it gives a Black woman a since of pride. But the thing that has kind of been irking me is the NATURAL BEAUTY comment that I see all the time. Almost as if they have an edge up on those with a relaxer.
Are these women beautiful? YESSSSS.
Are they completely natural? Ummm...not so much!
I would LOVEEEEEEEEEEE to post some pictures, but again not trying to offend someone. But my question is...
How can you be considered a NATURAL BEAUTY and you have on photo shoot makeup at all times???
*gasps* I know...
It started with an email I received from
Essence.com about some "Naturally Pretty" women. As soon as I opened the email, I saw bright pink lips!!!

Not the actual picture, just for effect! LOL!! |
Totally threw me off, and I forgot all about the
hair. Which is why I'm sure these were considered
natural beauties!! So I immediately thought...
W
ell what would she look like without all that makeup??
Is she now considered beautiful because of her hair? And there is nothing wrong with that.
Did she wear all of this makeup before she went natural?? And there is nothing wrong with
that either.
Just so many questions!!!
Maybe it should be Natural HAIR Beauty??? I'm just saying!!
Anyway...I'm off on a tangent now...but what do you all think about that Natural Beauty title?
PS- Not trying to make this a Natural vs Relaxed Hair debate either!!! WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!!
