		<description>I&#039;m not a hair stylist and I&#039;ve never had someone just OUT RIGHT tell me &quot;you don&#039;t know anything about hair! You got dreadsd!&quot;  It&#039;s silly really because everyone I know who has dreads started with loose hair.  No one&#039;s hair..  NOT EVEN MY KINKED OUT COILED UP STUFF, grows out of the scalp in dreads. (Can you imagine how bigga holes you&#039;d have in your scalp. :p )  Her comment was just plain stupid..

Now as far as a white hair dresser, I&#039;ve gone to one when my hair was processed. She did pretty good.. Far as natural hair. I&#039;m not sure if white folks know what to do with our hair.  Most of the time they try to treat it like theirs and use the same products. If it doesn&#039;t work, they try to process it or burn it to make it accept  their methods, so no as a natural I wouldn&#039;t have gone to one unless I&#039;d seen her work on another natural head and it was all good. Now with my dreads. No.  They know how to dread theirs, but not ours.  We need no where near as much product as they usually do and our hair is delicate so all that back combing is a no no. (Though I&#039;ve heard of black people who had it done, but not many.)

Female mechanic, I was a female mechanic. And I was as good or better than the guys. (Not a car mechanic, just working on a wrapping machine.)  I&#039;d love to learn to fix cars. 

I went to a male gyno recently- well he was a general practicioner, but he did the deed. :p And it was alright. I was nervous at first. I had never had one and said I never would. I think it was just HIM.  He made me comfortable. (And didn&#039;t stare you down when he&#039;s touching your..  AREAS.. :p )

I guess it depends. :)  But dread heads are natural just like loose nappies are. So she was just off in the head. :)</description>

		<description>I am appauled at people who forget our history as African Americans who cracks on people with natural hair. I think natural hair is beautiful and I will never forget where we come from. People tend to forget that perms have not been around forever and the ignorance of not appreciating our beautiful natural braids, locks, twists and dreds. Happy Nappy!</description>
