Re: the young Black woman who referred to her 4C hair as “YN” and “NBA2K” hair. Listen: our attitudes around our hair and other’s hair are influenced and shaped by society, so there is empathy to be had for those who struggle with accepting their natural hair, but you have to do the unlearning and work. #naturalhair #type4hair #4chair #blackhair #selflove
