~Our Nappy Hair~

Our Hair is Nappy
cause the Universe is in
coils, just like our hair, which
makes for a connection of "Positive
Energy" that we receive and give back
to the Universe, our Life Force. Our Hair
grows upward, not downward like Caucasian and
others. Our alluring bold powerful Hair does this because it is
pure natural Protein that needs the Energy of the great Universe and
our surroundings. Our exquisite immaculate Hair grows upward to receive
the rays of the Sun and all the Energies of the Moon and Stars. Magnificent
Sistahs, our immaculate beautiful nappy hair is good hair, strong hair, our crown

    • Black Americans spend $410 million a year, to alter the texture of their hair. Black magazines like Ebony, Essence and Jet are full of ads for relaxers, texturizers and straighteners that feature women with shiny, long straight hair.

    Kinks from your hair!
    Remove them from
    Your brain!"
