semi healthy posted by sereeff at 12 08 pm no comments thursday december 10 2009 op ed here is an op ed that i am working on about chris rock s documentary good hair comedian chris rock embarks on a global journey to find the answer to his daughter s question why don t i have good hair in this year s sundance award winning documentary on the exploration of african american hairstyles before slavery africans particularly in the western countries created intricate styles and beauty standards for hair that was representative of their culture when african slaves were brought to the new world they were presented with new standards of beauty this would be white skin straight hair and european features these new standards opposed their cultures criteria of beauty which were dark skin coarse hair and thicker facial features to survive in the times of slavery many africans felt as though they had to conform to the new world s standards of beauty which leads to africans attempting to straighten their hair so that it would appear to be similar to the texture of the caucasian s hair africans felt that is was crucial to do this so that they could possibly escape from slavery or be able to work in the home of the plantation which would lead to better food and care and a possible chance of receiving an education today even with the illegalization of slavery many african americans choose to straighten their hair with hot combs or pressing sets lanthionization also known the chemical process of hair relaxing and by wearing hair weaves or pieces many claim including chris rock in his documentary good hair that african american s undergo these processes to appear more white i disagree with the idea that the only reason african americans straighten their hair is because they want to be perceived as being white it is a crazy thought to think that an african american would believe that having straight hair would make them appear to be white they are well aware that they have black skin and different features and that it will take more than changing the texture of their hair to be perceived as being white as an african american that wears straight hair weaves i can say that i do not wear hair weaves to appear less african american i wear them because my hair is very fragile and it easily breaks and the hair weaves serve as a protective shield for my hair i also wear weaves because my natural hair does not have volume and wearing extensions provides me with instant volume and i do not know any women black white asian who would not like volume to her hair many african american women just do not have the time to blow dry and manage their natural hair texture it takes a lot of time and effort and sometimes a relaxer is just easier in good hair chris rock made the comment that if you see a black women with straight long silky hair that she either had a relaxer or a weave this is incorrect first of all in countries like ethiopia and somalia most of the people there have hair textures that are almost identical to middle eastern hair it is silky sometimes straight or loosely curled so the assumption that any black women with none kinky or coarse hair must be wearing hair extensions is incorrect that is making the assumption that all black women have the same nappy hair texture and that is also incorrect altogether chris rock never personally defined what good hair was i believe good hair is not silky or coarse good hair is natural hair that is healthy i think lonnice brittenum s good hair would be a lovely read if your brain is itching for more posted by sereeff at 10 51 pm 5 comments thursday august 20 2009 hair this is a short story i wrote i was inspired after reading girl by jamiaca kincaid hair awww her hair is so soft make sure to grease it with african hair food every morning and night don t put barats or elastics in her hair don t comb it don t brush it wash it gently every couple of weeks with something mild from ebony beauty feel the softness don t pull her hair too hard but gently massage her scalp for stimulation wow her hair grew in so well get her some of those colorful scrunchies and barats section her hair in fourths and tie up her hair in cute simple stlyes make sure you grease her hair with african hair food and wash her hair every two weeks with something mild her hair is still so soft it is so fine it s beautiful and delicate keep taking care of it maybe she might have that good hair i can t believe how well her hair is growing in it is getting a little coarse make sure you are using the african hair food now that her hair is long enough you should put cornrows in her hair is getting too coarse for those colorful scrunches and barats but still take care of her hair are you washing it gently twice a week her hair is getting so full and thick so fast oh my god she has an afro of hair you must have been greasing her hair and washing it right her hair is so nappy when she was a baby i thought she was going to have that good hair you know manageble fine long beautiful hair well keep putting those cornrows in and maybe you can put beads in for style damn she has such nappy hair she s getting too grown for those cornrows you said your husband is west african right and you are west african oh no wonder this child is doomed to have nappy no growing hair use this no lye relaxer in a box you can get it from ebony beauty apply it to her whole head and then apply it to her new growth at three inches of growth her hair will appear as though she has good hair but it is just the relaxer shit she looks so grown what happened to her hair it broke off did you keep up with the relaxer grease her head with african hair food and wash her hair every two weeks you did well she can t go out with her hair looking like that put a weave on her head she can get single braids cornrows or a straight weave make sure the extensions match her relaxed hair get a simple style keep it natural she needs a weave her hair is too nappy to show hide her hair underneath the weave go to ebony beauty and pick products out to maintain her weave you look familiar aren t you isatu s daughter the one with the soft hair then coarse hair then nappy hair then no hair and then weave yes so how s it going did you get the weave buy all the products you would need to keep it up relax your hair grease it with african hair food wash it every two weeks yes the weave was too heavy for my hair because my hair was thining from all the products i used to keep the weave up all the relaxers the synthetic grease and shampoo that clogged up my scalp so it couldn t breath so i gave it all up everything my mother told me to do from some lady i gave it up i m wearing a wig until my hair grows back and then i am going all natural my hair maybe nappy and i may not have that good hair but at least i ll have hair sorry i didn t catch your name http www turksheadreview com library texts kincaid girl html posted by sereeff at 12 51 pm no comments saturday august 15 2009 ooo girl you got that good hair welcome to my blog i can t get enough of this idea of good hair there seems to be some kind of standard in the black community of what good hair is and if you don t have it you better hot comb it relax it or weave it up until you do what is good hair where did this idea come from and why do african americans still hold this idea as a crucial standard of beauty if your curious to know the answers i suggest you read hair story untangling the roots of black hair in america by ayana byrd and
