Not Every Black Woman You See With Long Hair Has Extensions
Contrary to what The Real Housewives and Love and Hip Hop might suggest, not every Black woman with long healthy hair has in expensive extensions. While it can be difficult to tell when a girl’s hair is really hers or if she’s receiving a little assistance, it is far from OK to assume every Black woman with long thick hair had to pay for it.
Black Hair Comes in a Great Variety of Textures
Some Black women are rocking beautiful Afros, while others are flaunting loose curls. Both textures, along with many others, are possible for a Black woman to have. In fact, hair care experts have created a full range of curl patterns that reveal just how diverse Black hair textures really are. A Black woman’s hair could land anywhere on this scale from straight to wavy to curly to kinky.
