This Summer we have seen an uptick of black women wearing their natural hair straight and we think it stems from the overall consensus that we are no longer slaves to our hair regardless of the season.
We even gave you all tips on how to maintain a press during the Summer months because the uptick took us a little by surprise.

Her comment section was filled with people who felt her pain:
