Hello, Beautiful Black Women

This article "New Study Shows Weaves & Braids Cause Early Hair Loss In Black Women" may be BS to some, but some of these comments are too. If you don't know the truth, search for it before you assume. Black women do have hair and scalp problems due to perms, but they ALSO lose their hair due to tight braids and 'ponytails', but I wouldn't expect the 'all knowing' males that made these ignorant comments to know that. And if you've ever worn braids, some people will notice, that even the synthetic hair against your scalp is an irritant.

Honestly, I don't see the big beef with the article, this is one of the better articles I've seen on Hello Beautiful. Just because you know about the information given in the article doesn't mean everyone else does, this is obvious, go to any 'black neighborhood' and you will find countless little girls that are already exhibiting hair loss. Look at Beyonce in the picture posted on this article, maybe not a FULL weave, but the bun is NOT her hair, and Kelly Rowland has a MAJOR receding hairline.

You can google "natural hair" and you'll find a plethora of information on how to style and care for your hair, But what needs to be addressed is WHY. We MUST unlearn the MISeducations that have 'trained' us to HATE self and LOVE all things European.
