ignorant post, PP

As a white woman in training, I'm not walking around the participants judging them on their hairstyles. I've worked with women who covered for religious reasons, who had twists, and who embraced the sisterlocks.

But having said that, there's a difference between going natural and just rolling out of bed and heading to work.  We're talking about working WITH the hair you were born with - or, hair you're growing into.

As a white woman who's almost 75% gray, I've been fighting this battle for over a decade when I stopped coloring.  I've been told that the gray "ages" me.   Well, the gray doesn't age me; I'm 50, not 25.  And I'm not ever going back to processing my hair b/c the chemicals were killers.  So I do pay a moderate amount to keep my hair short and styled every 5 to 6 weeks.

If we - all women - allow this "ideal image" to rule our lives, we'll be whores to the chemical pimps until we retire.

sorry - not playing that game
