To me apparently she feels her hair is superior to kinkier textures. I am relaxed, but I still get the same ignorant statements.

Thanks for sharing your views on this. I have cousins who call their hair nappy, in a negative way, and it just sets me off. I will sit there and try to explain why having nappy isn't a bad thing AT ALL.

I these comments on hair forums and blogs all over the place and I think it is insane that in 2012, with all of the information that we have at our fingertips we are still perpetuating this nonsense from hundreds of years ago.
