The Palmetto Peaches both rock natural hair. We’ve gotten some rude weird questions like:
Can I touch it?
No, no, no. Whether you’re talking about Ace’s locs or Donni’s natural curls – the answer is NOOOOO. The answer is always no.
Do you wash it?
We’re offended. So let’s move on.
Is it real?
No, it’s imaginary. Is your hair real?
We’ll share the stories of our natural hair journeys at another time, but for now we’re excited to talk about a really cool event happening in Atlanta – Natural Hair Mag’s Natural Health & Hair Summit.
Natural Health & Hair Summit
The Natural Health & Hair Summit is the first natural hair event to emphasize nutrition as the base for healthy hair. This event will boast some of America’s best health and hair professionals who are experts in their respective fields. They will cover topics such as nutrition, mental health, personal development, fitness, hair care and more.

My hair is natural too and it’s incredibly insulting when people assume that they can touch it or that it isn’t real because “it’s too long” or that I’m “dark skinned”. I understand that some black women wear wigs or weaves or relax their hair and that’s fine. It’s their choice but the assumptions people make about us as a whole are so out of line.
Events like this are great for the community and for education.

I was blind to the hair drama until I got older. Growing up, I was one of those people who would’ve wondered if your hair was real, and/or about your race, because I assumed there was only one way to look or be Black. *facepalm* They say ignorance is bliss. I’m excited to learn a few things at the summit, so I can educate the people who still assume!
Maybe we should write a joint post on our hair experiences soon? ?

Great post! Black hair is always a “touchy” subject. How was the event? #browngirlbloggers
