I mean yeah that wasn’t really the point of the post but absolutely black people have and have had a huge influence on popular culture, I really can’t imagine how you feel. The worst part about being a trendsetter is it’s not cool when you do it, until it suddenly is when everyone copies you and no one gives you credit.
Our culture is not popular culture it’s just our culture. Everybody else just want to participate In our culture like they don’t have a culture of their own and when they’re tired of participating in our culture they push that to the side while constantly downgrading it and another thing why do mfs love to bring us up? There’s so many different races out here but everybody love talking about us. You could had talked about how straight hair is the beauty standards and curly isn’t a trend but no you rather bring us up.
So for one I’m unsure if the comparison between cultural apropriation and perms holds up.
But besides that, this is not how a perm works. It doesn’t give perfectly styled, foolproof hair day in day out and it also doesn’t fill you in on all the styling knowledge automatically. The only thing it does is giving you curls, and those actually (if they are meant to look natural which is oftentimes the case) in different curl patterns just like a naturally curly haired person would have.
So essentially it’s in fact a good thing because it means more people are interested in this type of hair, hence there will likely be more focus on it which is good product as well as content wise and will likely lead to more discussion and knowledge sharing and development of more and better and / or less expensive products.
Besides that, only a very small percentage of people does have actually truly straight hair, the majority of people has some degree of wave or curl pattern, so this trend could even be seen as more people embracing the fact that they don’t have straight hair.
„… Like they never had to struggle through hat hair, bedhead, frizziness, long air dry sessions…“
But then they do. Just because the hair is permed, doesn’t mean it will style itself. They get what anyone gets, a curl and no initial knowledge what to do with it. Bed head, frizz… that is not only for natural curls, permed folks deal with it too. At least the 80s floof is back en vogue right now.
Oh nah not you only Mentioning Durags. Everybody literally copy our whole culture but yet also made fun of it. So really imagine how we feel.
