Fried, dyed and laid to the side!

Black women's hair is a billion dollar industry. One of the reasons for this is the huge sums of money spent on the desire to alter the hair texture to allow the freedom to change hairstyles frequently.

Changing the texture of naturally thick and tightly curled hair requires either 'pretend' hair (sewing, gluing and pinning on) or the use of a lot of products, some of which can be damaging and with all these changes, you need regular visits to the hairdressers to maintain 'the look'.

And as any black woman knows, going to the hairdressers can be an all day event. Whatever you're doing that day... cancel it because it's not gonna happen!

If the whole world was in a recession, the only people still making money would be anyone involved in the making and selling of black women's hair products.

I said to my son, "boy if you want to be rich with a trailer load of female fans, don't sing, don't play football, don't go for the white collar thing. Simply learn how to relax hair and apply weaves"!



The boy says he wants to be an architect! Well I said to him "don't say I didn't warn you son. You'd be as rich as a rock-star if only you got a first-class degree in chemistry and came up with the magic formula for a pain-free no burn Relaxer".

He said what do you want me to do mother, style your hair or build you a house? If I'm not mistaken, he looked at me as if I was shallow.

Strangely enough, some of the happiest black women are the ones who have freed themselves from the prison of hair chemicals!
