Good Hair means healthy hair! its that simple if your hair is in loose curls and its dry and has split ends you got some bad hair.

To me it's that simple and quite frankly I'm tired of all this attention afro-textured hair is getting it's annoying and a breeding ground for ignorance

I was in Target on Saturday standing next one of their employees at the food counter. She was saying to the guy behind the counter that she's getting her hair done today and that at least it's straight and she don't have any nappy mess going on. My thinking is in saying she's getting her hair done she was thinking on how it looked a mess but at least it's straight...oh and straight because she got her perm.

I had to refrain from snapping my neck around at her. She seemed nice otherwise but wonder if she caught a glimpse of my hair when she complimented me on my earrings and wondered why she didn't say she liked my hair too. Not that I'm on myself but usually get compliments on my locs any time someone also notices my earrings.

But I thought this is so sad and the next time someone tries to defend people being able to do whatever they want with their hair and it's just hair, I'll share this story with them....and that's not to say a person shouldn't wear their hair as they please but if you got issues with any texture of hair I feel that person owes at the least themselves the need to look into why they think the way they do. And it indeed has an impact on others and how they view their hair.

This situation didn't bother me in the least in terms of how I view my own hair but I know others that's not trying to be judged as having the wrong texture and will go to great lenghts to ensure they're on point.

I totally agree with naturally.golden!! None of us are ignorant to the meaning of "good hair". But some of us believe ourselves to be too modern to believe the term to be true and valid. Unforntunatly, our adherance to this belief system tends to come out in our actions... It comes out when people ask when I'm going to straighten my hair, when people go crazy over the bsl straight weave i have in now, it comes out when people marvel over my baby girls hair having not "turned yet" or her having "pretty hair" as the baby next to us gets no play. THough the words leave a bad taste in our mouths most people still dont REALLY see the beauty in kinky hair.

Interesting article... I think that lately black hair has been getting a lot of attention in the black community (and beyond!). The conversation of "Good Hair" is being brought up again and again. While all of us naturalistas ;) would never dream of using the term NOW, lets be real.

I totally understand the people who make the stereotypical comments stated here because, well I used to be one of them. And I am willing to bet that I am far from the only one on this blog that feels this way.

I, like many others was raised in a household where our hair was our crowning glory. The term "good hair" was tossed around more than once and I knew from a young age exactly what someone meant when they refered to "good hair."

So many African American women have told me in daily conversations that they cannot 'go natural' because their hair is not "good enough."

Unfortunately I dont think the term is going anywhere anytime soon, but I am appreciative of the new dialogue surrounding the issues that we black women tend to have with our natural hair texture. Whether its curly, nappy, kinky, good, bad, whatever you want to call it. Its ours and I think that its about time we learned how to truly take care of it and manage it on our own terms- no one elses.

Nice post:)

I'll never forget my 5th grade discussing this. She was very "pro-Black", and she HATED this term. She asked the class, "Who in here has good hair". Everyone looked around and picked two people with long and either silky/wavy or straight thick hair. She was pissed. She told us that "good hair" was any hair that grew from your scalp. I never forgot that.

I can not begin to express the hatred that my dad has for this term. Whenever he hears it, he makes corny little jokes about it.

Ultimately it is just self hate. I myself use this term from time to time but i find that it's becausei see myself looking at someone else's coif and comparing it to my own.

At that point i don't feel as thought i "measure up" and thus the term is used.

It's really just misuse of a word to make it into something that doesn't even exsist.

WOW! I was told that I had "good hair" and my hair is not fine at all nor does it need to be washed everyday. I asked the girl why she thought I had good hair, and she said bc I only need to get a relaxer twice a year, I can wash my hair and it can look relaxed, when it gets wet and air dries..it curls..and this is the kicker: I HAVE BABY HAIR!! Baby hair?? lol

Good hair equals hair that is fine, can be washed everyday, and dyed with regular hair dye without falling out. It's the hair ou see flaunted on commercials"

Umm... does this person know that ANYBODY who has hair and dyes it frequently will soon loose it!?!?!
