Comments on: Good Hair- we saw it. http://blog.treasuredlocks.com/2009/10/30/good-hair-2/ What's Happening At Treasured Locks Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:17:47 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Odie http://blog.treasuredlocks.com/2009/10/30/good-hair-2/comment-page-1/#comment-18744 Odie Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:56:52 +0000 http://blog.treasuredlocks.com/?p=486#comment-18744 I have not seen the movie yet but plan to. The previews look funny. As a mixed race woman (native american, spanish & African American)my hair has always been in the middle. Not kinky enough to solely be treated with black products & not straight enough to use stuff like L'oreal. Growing up I was put in the category of "good hair" at school. I know its rough having coarse hair (I have a sister from a different dad)but the jealousy over those who don't isn't going to help. Ive had women compliment my hair then turn around & say something rude about me as a person like 'she thinks she's better cause she got good hair'. Sure girls get teased for nappy hair but what about those who have their characters' attacked simply cause they don't. I'd rather be called nappy headed than a snooty bitch. At the end of the day its all just hair people. Now, I have dreadlocks so they can all kiss my booty. I have not seen the movie yet but plan to. The previews look funny.

It serves as a reminder of why we do business with companies like Treasured Locks. I hate to go in the way back machine, but back in the day we always did business with local black-owned businesses. Over the past few years I have made it my business to buy my beauty products from Treasured Locks and one other black-owned company (not the one with the celebrity endorsements that is on HSN). Not only am I supporting my community, but at 54 years old I am finally getting the hair I want! LOVE YOU, TREASURED LOCKS!!! Thank you for posting this review.

But after seeing the movie, I was disappointed because I thought Chris spent too much time talking to folks with weaves. I had hoped he would interview the many women who (like myself)love their natural hair, thereby showcasing the variety of natural hairstyles available. Also, I didn't find the black hair show interesting or relevant to the "Good Hair" topic. What I do find disturbing is the amount of money black women spend on their hair in general and weaves in particular, and the fact that the trend of wearing weaves is gaining momentum. I have yet to see one woman with a weave whose hair looks nice. Our hair is not "shiny" by its nature, so weaves will always be ugly to me, because they denote fakeness and shame over our God-given glory.
