I will probably get a lot of backlash for this comment. I am white and have wavy hair. I personally do not feel a white woman with curly hair shouldn’t be able to call her hair curly. Because that’s what it is. Yes, POC often have different hair types and textures than a white woman, and I have extreme empathy and sadness for the struggles and discrimination they have endured and do endure still. No white woman will ever fully be able to understand those struggles I’m sure.

I do however believe that curly hair is a hair type that any race can have. Just because someone’s hair is curlier doesn’t make yours less curly. The natural hair movement is all yours, I get that. But curls are for everyone.

Also, as a wavy where do we belong? Some of us have all sorts of damage, different spirals and textures on our heads. It’s hard because there is not much info for wavy girls out there that isn’t in a curly group. I personally think it’s a little silly to be bothered by wavy hair in this group. I don’t even care if a straight hair person posts in here. It’s a forum.
