I didn't give her a response because I didn't have the patience to answer such ignorant question. No one can be chemical free, not even people who eat "organic" stuff and use "all natural" products. <br />curiouskinks.blogspot.com~Adeola~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10261328165151534532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122527694147915032.post-13668777909104159482012-04-03T21:58:28.038-05:002012-04-03T21:58:28.038-05:00Yes, I agree with you. I think that these ladies ...Yes, I agree with you. I think that these ladies look at my healthy hair and see their broken thinning hair and are a little jealous or maybe just ignorant. I remember when I was relaxed I never put down naturals. I saw it as a personal choice and that it was their hair. Their hair wasn't my business so why hate.JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287440783952681543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122527694147915032.post-54829469261363193272012-04-03T07:36:54.347-05:002012-04-03T07:36:54.347-05:00I agree with Jazzwife Natural, means for me also, ...I agree with Jazzwife Natural, means for me also, NO CHEMICAL RELAXER TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR. But if you use a shampoo,a conditioner, a gel etc... any product to moisterise or style your hair; YOU ARE STILL NATURAL. I think the ladies knew exactly what your husband was saying, they were just upset or in a defensive attitude in my opinion; I noticed that even when people have very damaging hair, the idea to keep their hair " Nappy" repulsed them even if deep down they know that it is one of the best solution sometime, especially today where we have all this blogs and websites to show us ALL WE CAN DO WITH NATURAL HAIR.<br /><br />I envy your defined curl soooo much; I try to achieve a similar effect with my fro;GOD BLESS.minasekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714290171427597126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122527694147915032.post-20691510485164283402012-03-31T18:26:57.612-05:002012-03-31T18:26:57.612-05:00I'm with you on the definition of Natural.

I have a hard time believing that one might actually believe that another is not natural because of the use of a non-texture altering product. "She's not natural." My daughter will often hear murmurings of that (nonsense) because there are women out there who have re-set the definition of what it means to be natural to best suit them. I've said it in other places but I'll repeat it here: "Natural", at least to me, is being free of texture altering chemicals to permanently straighten one's curly hair. You are natural, my daughter is natural. No offense to anyone but those women did not know what they were talking about. The use of conditioner makes you not natural? . . .

I was helping some of my students with a chemistry project so I kinda cheated, my point is that everyone uses some type of conditioner and using conditioner doesn't make me unnatural.JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287440783952681543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122527694147915032.post-27014537965743711032012-03-28T22:29:40.824-05:002012-03-28T22:29:40.824-05:00It doesn't surprise me.

...Umm I LOVE this Post!!!<br />One intelligent woman lol<br /><br />You are so right.<br />It is understood in the Natural Hair community that "natural" simply means that our hair is free of relaxers or texture changing chemicals..<br /><br />and our hair would not survive w/out Water nor Conditioner! lolKryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170765222622111897noreply@blogger.com
