Hey Ya’ll!
Just wanted to stop in to talk about “haters”… Yep, even in the natural hair world, you will find haters. There are a few different type of haters that you must look out for and recognize, some more serious than others. Let me introduce you to three kinds of haters. Let me know if you’ve met any of them yet:
• The Ignorant Hater: These are the folks who say negative or ignorant things because they don’t have anything else to say. That’s it. Their mentality is “I don’t have anything of interest to say so I’ll just make an ignorant comment about what’s different about you.”
• The Self Hater: These are the people who try to make you change your mind about being natural because you make THEM have to think about and justify why they’re so afraid of being natural. This type of person worries about how other races of people will look at them if they see you. “Oh, they’re going to know this weave/wig/relaxer/lace-front isn’t my real hair!”
• The Sniper Hater: These people hate just because they are miserable in their own lives. They want someone else to wallow in their misery and/or come down to their level. They’re usually insecure and will talk about you behind your back or they will give you one of those “compliments turned insult”. In reality, they really wish they had the courage to be true to themselves.
These are just a few types of haters you will probably run into. Oh, there are many others out there and I’ll introduce you to them a little later but in the meantime, love yourself wherever you are in your hair journey and don’t let anyone discourage you from loving yourself just the way God created you!
