5 Things you should not say to a Naturalista, in GIF

Hello Naturalistas,

How has your week been? and the kinks?

Now, because Beautiful Eagle decided to bully me ask nicely, I will quickly share the not-so-eventful way I got Uti to do the mane matter.

I know a photographer and he mentioned in passing that he was having a shoot with Uti and I jumped with glee, my first question was ¨Can you ask him some hair questions for me?¨ and he buzzes me on the day of the shoot to send my questions but I asked if I could do it myself and he obliged, asked Uti and he agreed and the rest is History ;)

***
I am sure that every naturalista is familiar with this, Here are 5 things that I have heard and I think should not be said to an african naturalista;

¨Did you cut your hair?'' 


For the umpteenth time: NO! It shrinks -__- 

¨How do you comb your hair like that?''


With a comb duhhh...

¨Are you going out like that?¨


Watch me *does the moon walk out of the door*

¨Can I touch your hair?¨


I meant it yesterday. NO!

¨You should go make your hair''

Oh No! you didn't!! 
Its made!

''You won't get a boyfriend, looking like that''

I have a boyfriend. 

Opps! I said 5, I couldn't help it. 

Is anyone with me? Please tell what else you think should not be said to ladies with natural hair.

  5. Lol @ "can I touch it" . I'm like why, it's the same thing you have under your weave.
    Another one you should add to the list is, " you natural people are trying oh, with this your kind of hair".
