"Good Hair"

For years and years, this has been a great debate

within the African American Community.

I have good hair because it is Healthy... Take That! lol

When i was transitioning some girls would be like

"Tamika why dont u get a perm"

and then when I was completely Natural girls would be like

"Tamika, why don't you press your hair so it can be straight"

I love my Fro =) So I'd rather not.

No more relaxers for me

Check the movie trailer for "Good Hair"

I am going to go see this, should be quite amusing lol
