I think anyone who wears her hair natural after wearing it straight can write a book about the “unique” comments that they may encounter – usually from those closest to us – our family and friends.

Here are 10 of the most rude comments that I’ve encountered about my natural hair:

What are you trying to do?
Your job lets you wear your hair like that?
Oh, interesting…
I can’t go natural- I want my hair to look good!
I liked the way your hair used to look.
I can tell that you don’t have to spend a lot of time on your hair.
What does your family/partner think?
My partner/husband would never like my hair that way!
I have a professional job so I’d never be able to wear my hair natural.
So, when are you going to straighten your hair?
