The 70's was the disco ball, bell bottoms and Afro era!! It seems like all theses elements have made a come back with the exception of the Afro!..Offcourse theres a few ladies rocking thier Fro's but you cant deny that more ladies are rocking relaxed hair, and Weaves!! I am soo very guilty of rocking weaves myself!...At this point Ive forgotten the color, length and texture of my hair :-(..Yes i'm ashamed...but can you blame me?It so much easier to rock a weave and so affordable when you are a student or even working full time!!...(My people yes I'm good at making exsuses)...
But the question I have to ask is, India Arie( Fro) or Beyonce(Weave/Perm)?..now tell me which one sells more records?...LOL
A group on facebook called,'Ghanians rocking thier hair natural' got me thinking about this! I felt like I had sold out or renounced my "Africaness" by wearing weaves and a perm! I personally think its a choice and I dont think anyone should be critized for having either hair!..If i'm renouncing my roots then maybe I should be rocking my Kente in this -30 degrees weather?..Maybe I should not be speaking vernacular?...Or should I be eating with my hands as my forefathers and mothers did?...Should I?...
What do you think?
