I will agree that yes, sometimes natural hair can look too loud and may need to be toned down during certain settings like Tamera said “why not put it in a ponytail or a bun” if your workplace or school believes its “unruly”. To tell a woman that something she was born with is not acceptable is not only discriminatory but it also has the possibility of breaking down self-esteem. Throughout the past few years it seems as if African American women are coming to terms with the hair that they were rightfully given and not caring about the opinions of others. The natural hair movement has somehow expanded to become a re-modernized way of living and a highlighted focal point of the mainstream beauty industry, giving more women more self-esteem (Boston Globe). With this movement it seems like more black women are trying to get others to join and trying to spread the knowledge of how to embrace your natural locs an also to care for
