I don't know anyone that doesn't like compliments about their hair. Unfortunately, we often hear things that aren't really complimentary. Maybe it's a straight up insult, or sometimes it is a backhanded compliment, and sometimes it's just something that the other person could have kept to themselves. Personally I would prefer if you never said or asked the following:
1. Your braids or twists looks like Miss Celie's.
2. Are you going to do your hair? Or, why didn't you comb your hair?
3. Can I touch it? And/or after said sanctioned or unsanctioned touching; It's much softer than it looks.
4. Why don't you wear your hair curly like________ (name anyone with a different hair texture)?
5. How did you get it to do that? No one ever questioned my styling process when my hair was relaxed! But if you really want to know...please continue to read the blog and feel free to buy my book, One Hairstyle, Thirty-one Ways. It's on Amazon.com.*
6. Aren't you afraid of looking unprofessional?*
7. I couldn't go natural unless I had good hair, and in the same breath...You're braver than I am.*
=============
And extras:
Wow, your hair grew!
Please know that I am generally thinking (or saying because I don't know how to keep my mouth shut) No, not really, my hair has pretty much been the same length for years. I clip it to about the same length, and even when I'm not trimming it, it won't get beyond a certain length without a LOT of work that I know I'm not doing.
Why did it look shorter before?
Because it was in an updo? And because I have nappy hair that shrinks, a lot. I doubt it was shorter before, it was probably just nappier.
=============
* Each of these subjects will likely get their own post at some point over the next few weeks.
What about you? Do you have anything that you wish people wouldn't say - or are there things that you tell people never to say to or about you and your natural hair?
