[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - I agree with the posters who say this is really all about white women.

Women of color don’t age the same way white women do, so when we are 40, we don’t typically look like we are 40. There are obviously exceptions, such as people who work outside or with their hands a lot. Hair is not really a concern for Black women and Latinas as we age. Black women continue to do cool protective styles or whatever they want and it isn’t shamed. Latinas typically have long hair forever, and it looks great.

OP here. I’m black. While black women age differently than white women, we still age. There are many common mistakes that are relevant across race like not changing ones hairstyle. Box braids down the back may look good on a 20 year old.... but not so much on most 50 year olds. Changing our markup and skincare routine is relevant also.[/quote]

And OP let’s not forget the fundamentals!! Black and white women BOTH need to take care of their physical health - do weight bearing exercise for bone health, get our mammograms, and destress. [/quote]
