Just thought of somethin'

Lookin' through some pictures, I think my mom is just about the only conservative Black woman I know who wears her hair natural. Granted, it's still not all that common in general, but she's probably one of a very, very few. Actually I said natural, but I should've said a 'fro. She's not quite up there at Angela Davis level yet, but it is boomin'. But really, natural is right because she doesn't wear it puffed out every day. However, she refuses to put any chemical in her hair that would change the nappy texture that God intened. I would expect to see this more frequently. Everybody else wears their hair the way it grows out of their head, why don't Black women?
