Validity and Purpose of Our Hair Platforms

Now I’ve always been one to speak openly on my opinions and perspectives, but always in the right time and place. I recently read a Instagram post that said, paraphrasing of course, natural hair blogs are unnecessary and we should sit down and worry about our own hair and not someone else’s. The post also discussed that “natural hair blogs” were simply trying to promote the image and techniques to get  natural hair of the loose curl pattern and texture and degrade those of us, including me, that have courser, kinkier textures.  She also included aspects of color-ism which included grouping women of lighter complexions with loose curl patterns to those with darker complexions and kinkier textures.  Now this person was not a hair blogger, health blogger, vlogger or any of the sort, but spoke so openly grouping all of us that do blog about natural hair or hair in general.
