Thoughts

The process of going natural has made me become a researcher. I have tried to uncover as much about going natural as possible. I fell into youtube, quite by accident. I was researching ecostyler gel and the google search brought up a youtube link. I ended up watching hundreds of videos (maybe only a few, it just felt like hundreds). I got some good info, but I realized that I have to be careful about where and from whom I get my information. There are some good videos and information out there but a lot of people (unknowingly) give wrong info. I realized that many people are going natural but continue to have distorted views of natural hair. I was disturbed that one person on youtube made a video, approximately 6 minutes long about how she loved her natural curls and was contemplating getting her hair hotcombed just to have straight hair for a while. Her natural hair was beautiful and I don't have a problem with her or anyone having straight hair. She was very pretty as well, by the way. She made a part 2 video with straight hair and how she changed her mind and straightened her hair and her two hair idols were women who had straight hair! I am not saying that you have to be only one way or the other but shouldn't you admire and encourage what you are aiming for?! But for the few that just talk for 2 minutes at the beginning of their vids, there are plenty more who are willing to go indepth with their tutorials and offer valuable help. No matter what you do in life, you have wanna be's and doin' it's. I would rather hang with the doin' it's. Love.
