Or, black women would have to wash, blow dry and then straighten their hair with a flat iron at least once each week, a process that takes hours, to change the way their hair grows out of their head naturally.

Terry cloth towels are made of tiny loops all over that snag on our coils. Cotton is woven flat and wicks away water without snagging the hair. It really is genius.

Oddly enough, the process for your hair is almost exactly the same as mine (the difference being I don't have the space or money to own a hair steamer or hooded drier), and when I don't do that lengthy and overly time-consuming process, my hair is completely unmanageable and an utter frizzy mess that makes me cry.…

I agree with your main point, but there is a huge error in the article:

This needs to be signal boosted. The original Jezzie article is not clear on this point at all - makes it sound like all crownrows/small braids have been banned - when that's clearly not the case.

As a former soldier, I think the question to ask is: how are these grooming styles impacting a soldier's readiness? I don't know about the hairband—would wearing that interfere with the soldier's wear of her headgear in garrison or kevlar in the field? I honestly don't know (more on that in a second.) The styles…

I always feel a bit stupid when these issues come up. I'm a white girl with unruly curly hair (not the nice neat curls like you see on tv—the frizzy kind that needs to be tamed every morning, or sometimes multiple times throughout the day, that has a patch in the back of an entirely different texture than the rest).…

I think there are some misconceptions going on here, and maybe as a female soldier I can help out. You can still braid your hair. Pretty much the only style of braids NOT allowed is the one pictured in the lefthand photo (a.k.a three braids).You can braid/french braid your hair in one or two braids OR you can have…

I say this as someone who has been natural for almost 2 decades, which means I went natural BEFORE THE INTERNET: It's not as bad or as difficult as you think it is. If you had been taught how to care for your natural hair as a child, instead of being made to understand that it was normal for a Black woman to…

That was remarkably easy. Moving on!

Rebecca, why you lying. I'm listening to his pie story. I'm not impressed. I need to meet the people who find Jesus through this man. I think they'd make me feel better about myself.

I'm 3 minutes in and I keep thinking it will get better. I have lost faith that it will. I need Jesus to save this.

So I'm looking at this, and for some reason, I imagine that she's really some kind of rose bush dryad. Her feet have rooted, so she wears these shoes full of soil (so she can move unhindered, of course). A rose is growing from her anus. Her farts smell like roses. She has to keep a handful of real roses nearby because…

Yes.

Yeah, you guys won't be laughing when you go to Target to try on this swimsuit and it makes part of your crotch disappear.

Also E.T.

Samuel L. Jackson looks like an adorable, little, old lady in that selfie.

I think you are forgetting how cheaply these shows are made.

It's a model of the model home!

I know that it's easy to hate on Farrah because she seems as dumb as a box of bricks, but anyone who saw her episode of 16 and Pregnant, in which her mother hits her on camera and then later flat out lies that she did so after literally being shown the footage in which she hits her daughter, knows that Farrah grew up…
