visibilityofcolor:

So, @witches-ofcolor and I were talking about how we feel
(and others) that the natural hair community has pretty much forgotten that
type 4 (especially 4c) hair exists. Type 4 people aren’t being as praised and
recognized in the natural hair community as we should despite the fact that the
natural hair movement was kind of made for us.

Type four girls/boys are the ones who were supposed to be
uplifted by the movement and encouraged and people tend to forget we exist.

Even worse, people (even in the natural hair community) act
like having type 4 hair especially 4c hair is a bad thing. So many people don’t
go natural because they fear they’re gonna have type 4 hair.

So…that said, we
think there needs to be a day to appreciate people with type 4 hair. The natural
hair community has done such a bad job at it as it is, even natural hair
product companies ignore type 4 people, so we need a day to ourselves.

So on July 1^st 2017, we are going to be hosting a
little event in appreciation for Type 4 hair. It’s simple, if you have type 4
hair, then just post a picture of yourself (or submit to this blog), and we’ll
reblog it. The day will be tagged #naturalhair day, so make sure you tag that.

This way, there will be some well needed recognition for
type 4 people.

So please, reblog this post, and spread the word. Because Type
4 hair is so underappreciated and I think a day like this will show people just
how amazing their hair is.

If you have any questions don’t heisted to ask.

I’ll probably make more promos later on! So follow this blog for updates or just track #naturalhair day, to keep up with updates! Thanks!
