This is a brother's perspective, so I must admit I am not an expert in female hair. But isn't going natural just not chemically altering your hair? What could possibly be wrong with that, even if you were the most unconscious person around?

I feel like even if something is a fad, if it's good for the "followers" succumbing to it, that is positive. Is there harm in brushing your teeth if you do it only because everyone else does it? Extreme example, but you get my point. Even the part about Afrocentric clothing doesn't bother me in every way. It's already sad they don't know they're African, and maybe it is even sadder when they dress like they do know. But as trends go, consciousness is pretty preferable. If loving yourself is in, at least some people will go that extra step and actually love themselves. Would you rather ignorance was stylish?
