Comment on Will this child have any hair by the time she is four?

I disagree with rere comment. It may be cute but at what expense? That child does not need to wear fake hair. Hair can't grow if it is being pulled tightly out of it's root. The tension from the braid is too tight on their hair at this age. And once that hair is gone it may not grow back. What is wrong with us when it comes to our hair? Are we so brainwashed that we can't even let our babies' hair be natural? Massa has done a great job on making us feel we are not worthy unless our hair looks like his people. When are we going to stop this self hate. Too many of us can't even wear our real hair for fear, not only from what other people will say, but how we really view ourselves as individuals. We won't even give our hair a rest from wigs,weaves and braids! If that isn't low self-esteem, then I don't know what is. But we are passing this attitude to our babies and this is not right. WE come from royalty! Kings and Queens! We use to be a passionate people for what we believed in. Now it seems as if we as a people are complacent about everything and just go with the flow. We need to wake up!

That's a great piece of history. Some inventions we have no idea where they come from, so thanks for this! Inventors sometimes are known for one or two major inventions, while all the other little things they made, no matter how useful, are simply taken for granted. We know Franklin invented the lightbulb, but the gas mask has saved lives! We should learn more about these less well-know inventors.

You really don't have to pack them. It doesn't help anything, and only young smokers do it - you never see an older person doing it. But if you must, before you open a pack, hold the pack upside down and tap the top of the pack on a hard surface about ten times.

Good Hair, Good God! The Divine Politics of African-American Hair
By Anthea Butler

Hair is a religion, especially if you’re a black woman. Yes, I know you purists won’t believe me, but when you are a black woman you can conceivably, depending on how much you worship hair, spend half your life in the beauty salon—and the rest in church
