Good question. I just recently read an interesting article on relaxing the hair of young black girls, that might give you some ideas on how to respond the next time your daughter asks for a relaxer. StAr wrote in regarding my little Worth a Click post about bell hooks’ Happy to be Nappy. Being that I don’t have any little afrobellas of my own (yet), I didn’t have an immediate recommendation. I haven’t read a children’s book in years! [...] [...] Hi StAr! Good question.

Black Opal products are my favorite. For some reason, people are hesitant to give them a try, but I have been using that foundation stick for about 5 years now with no complaints. I will buy Black Opal before I buy MAC, or anything else. Their concealer is great too! Great post, Bella! Black Opal products are my favorite.

I think that's the real problem with nappy, some black people think that nappy hair is "bad" hair. I don't need a "polite" euphemism for my hair. My hair is not a bad word. My face is not a bad word. My nose is not a bad word. I am not a bad word. More importantly I don't want little girls who look like me to think that its something wrong with being a little nappy headed brown girl. If nappy is a bad word and everyone thinks your hair is nappy (because you know your hair isn't wavy or curly or anywhere near "good") well then what does that mean if you're a kid. That means you must be bad or not pretty. Now am I saying that people who don't have nappy hair are not pretty or black, no I'm not. Just like I'm very sure that people who say big women are beautiful aren't calling skinny women like myself ugly or are you? Should I bring up that I am beautiful and skinny and a size 4 every time people say big woman are beautiful or would that be too obviously obnoxious...lol...yeah so anyway you're all freakin beautiful. Nappy, straight, black, asian, white, latina, jewish, black and white, big, little, bulimic...

Why? Because in SOME circles it's simply the clearest way to describe my texture. In other circles, I'll say "tightly coiled" or something similar. One of the many (I admit it) things that bug the hell out of me about my people is this simple fact: If Imus had used just the word "ho" I don't think there would have been anywhere near the kind of uproar that there would have been if he hadn't added "nappy-headed" to it. Because too many of us are STILL! in 2007! apologizing for having African features, when we SHOULDN'T. And yes, some of us have ALWAYS had a problem with the word "ho"! For the record, "nappy" doesn't automatically equal "coarse." Fine and coarse refer to strand diameter. I have fine hair that coils very tightly over most parts of my head (and sorta-kinda-kinks over other parts, and sorta-kinda-waves over other parts). You can have straight hair that's coarse...ask the Japanese. Re VH1: I haven't paid for cable in 4 years. I haven't had cable in 2. Labor Day weekend at my parents' was the last time I spent any significant time watching cable. So in a way I've BEEN boycotting VH1. (I do like "I Love the 70s" and "I Love the 80s", though. And for the record, I've been boycotting BET for the last 12 years.) I used to have a problem with “nappy”, but not anymore. Why?
