I’ve heard a lot about the negative comments family members and friends make about our natural hair. If you could have a natural t-shirt made to combat the ignorance, what would it say?!
Mine:
If you have a problem with my natural hair, Get Over It!
Yea my hair is natural, so who asked you?! Keep your negative comments to yourself.
Grandma it’s OKAY for our generation to have Natural Hair.

Don't ask me about the nap in mine and I won't tell you about the lye in yours! – I believe Malaikah Cooper did this one years ago.

I have a red shirt with this on it. Can't remember where I got it from though….
"No…you can't touch it"
(1) If my hair offends you, it's MY HAIR!
(2) My Hair (front) Are you wearing someone else's hair right now? (back)
(3) Your weave offends me. It's not natural.

Don't like natural hair? (front)
Sounds like a personal problem to me. (back)
I have a few natural hair shirts and they read,
1) Napptural
2) AfroDiva
If I can design one, it would say 100% Natural, no additives, no preservatives.
"Just…keep it to yourself."
1). I see you over there hatin on my natural hair.
2). My natural hair….I know you like it!!
Yes, all of this is my hair!

Natural Hair IS Beautiful
…I would wear it so my mom would get the message and stop telling me I look ugly with curly hair and need a perm 🙁
Hair: love the one you're with

Yes, my hair is real. Don't you wish yours was too?
I have none to add. I just want to say that I LOVE the ideas here!
I'm here
I'm kinky
Get use to it
Front/you're only staring and glaring giving me the side eye… Back/cause you're hatin the cofidence that my kinks provide 😉
i have a shirt i got made this summer that has Naturally Kinky across the front and #TeamNatural across the back. I thought it was funny and it definitely raises a few eyebrows. LOL @KaiTheKonqueror

2) Don't worry my hair is not contagious
3) The No Lye Zone

5) My hair is my glory
Some of these sound really hostile. Let's remember that some of us were once slaves to the beauty supply store too. Wigs, weaves, and all.
I agree with Anonymous 11:56 AM
Some of these comments sound a bit extreme IMO
LOOK MA! (above picture) NO CHEMICALS! (below picture)
with a picture of a girl with an afro and a bow in her hair 🙂
Yea, I agree with Anonymous August 14, 2011 11:56 also. Some of the comments were pretty immature..
i also agree. Natural people wear weave too. I have seen my share of loc extensions, braids, and kinky weave.
1. I'm running FRO president. Do my kinks have
your vote?
2. Ingredients: kinks & curls & teeny swirls
3. Kinky Hair, inquisitive stares.
4. You'll rarely see me running from the rain
4. Yes. It's real
That's what I came up with x
I don't like some of these responses. They are very defensive and very naturals vs. relaxed. This should be about coming together. Not trying to make relaxed women feel bad for having straight hair. I don't agree with that.
why are the lady's so defensive?
I am natural, but I just can't stand when naturals have that sort of ''we're better than you'' attitudes.
Most of you were relaxed at one point in your lives too.
Anonymous August 13, 2011 10:00 AM said her mom tells her she looks ugly with curly hair…
Hearing comments like that from the people you love is enough to make anyone HOSTILE. Now I don't necessarily agree with that response but I FULLY understand that it comes from a place of pain.
LET THESE WOMEN VENT!!! I thought that's what this forum was supposed to be about… sharing you hair journey and commiserating with other women that understand your hair struggles.
I had an argument about my hair with my mum, about 2days ago and I wish I had a tshirt that said 'you created it,so what's the problem'
@Aishah
I hear where you are coming from, but I also feel like some of these comments could create a divide between natural vs. chemical women. I think all women should learn to embrace their natural texture but comments like this would scare any one off. I do however appreciate the more non- hostile Tshirt ideas 🙂
I created my own shirt line JUST for that reason!!! Naturals love them!!
@cassburt81: That's a shirt from my tshirt line: http://www.aunatureldiva.etsy.com. It's the KINKS design! 🙂
I designed my own tshirt line as well! One of the shirts defines the word "natural" by saying, "marked by easy simplicity and freedom from artificiality, affectation, or constraint." http://fancyayancey.bigcartel.com
You should check out KandyCurls.com for natural hair t-shirts. They are high quality and new shirts are added all the time! "Rated R for realness" and "naturally united" with group of naturals are just a few top sellers to choose from.
Natural or relaxed. To each is it own. I have saved over a $1,000 a year by going natural and I love it! My T-shirt would say:
"Mom! You lied to me! I wasn't born with a relaxer!"
