Beware Of The Brazilian Blowout!

Good Morning America's report on Brazilian blow-outs is astonishing on so many levels. The women featured in the segment want "bone-straight" hair. Kinky or curly hair like mines is considered "difficult" & "unmanageable." Well, I manage my curls just fine,thank you!

When I see minorities obsess over straight hair,it makes me cringe. Especially when the minority happens to be African-American. Don't they know that straight hair is a European or Western standard of beauty? Beauty is not one-dimensional. I love curly hair more than I do straight hair. But,society wants me to feel otherwise.

Far too many people are willing to risk their hairline by wearing a lace-front weave in order to have hair that looks more European.And you may be risking your health in your quest to have European hair if you get a Brazilian blow-out. So,beware!
