"It's because of Erykah Badu's video."

That was the reasoning that someone gave as to "why everyone is going natural now."

I shyt you not.

Now, there are several things wrong with this:

1. The only thing Ms. Badu kept on in that video was a do-rag. You couldn't even see her hair! So #logicFAIL

2. Not everyone is going natural, proved by the four chicks around me exclaiming that they could never do it in the conversation that included this absolutely absurd remark.

3. Just as with everything else, people have their own reasons for doing things. Some for healthy hair's sake, some for the pro-Black thing, some just cuz they like the look. Why try to lump everyone into a category?


What are some of the most laughable comments you've heard about natural black hair?
