    They say the hair is good and God given but in order to be exceped in white society you can't wear it that way and the wig is nothing compared to all the chemicals they use in salons today.This is why you see,in some cases woman with receding hair lines.

  • @blaqswan9228

    Afro-Brown women that reside in and out of America must accept that American countries have the least amount of respect for you thanks to the white man and white women especially of European descents that crossed the waters to murder masses of native Indians and their children to achieve a state of Declaration of Independence. This has caused a fractured belief in who you are and the value of your life. Most Afro-brown women residing in American countries are either part African , Indian , and/or Spanish descent with possible European heritage. The fracture in your belief system has damaged your connection with the Afro-Brown man. The Afro-Brown man has been forced to continue working in a prejudiced system in order to provide for his family through torture, murders, raping of his kin, disrespect and ultimately a lower pay from all. Through all of this majority of Afro-Brown women have been abusing resources and over indulging in predominantly the cosmetic industry. And continues to do so. In this modern day, Afro-Brown women continues to over indulge with different synthetic/unnatural hairstyles and hair products and related beauty products. The Afro-Brown women also continues extremely aggressive/abusive discipline towards their offspring. This causes severe damage in the Afro-Brown American household due to previous slavery stemmed from racist psychotic European immigrants. The Afro-Brown women receives the very last tier of respect from all human kind especially in American countries. Thanks to the ignorance of all women and especially the white women that resides with her on stolen property. The Afro-Brown women must practice moderation with patience within her self and towards her offspring to reduce generational trauma caused by slavery from European descendants in American countries. This will eliminate chaos in Afro-brown households and strengthen the DNA. The Afro-Brown man will then graciously learn respect for his Afro-brown women as time progresses. The healing of one will have a positive impact on all.
