111. Exactly. I have an issue with braids as well. First, they strain the neck because too many women add

too much hair. Second, braids pull on the hair line. I've had friends who have worn braids for many years because they're too ashamed to wear their own hair. (This is true; they've told me that their hair is "too nappy" and "unmanageable" to wear out .) And finally, I understand why MHP is wearing her hair in braids. She cut all of he relaxer out and is growing her hair long. However, I would argue that the more she wears the braids, the more tension those braids will add to her neck and head, the more they will pull on her hairline, and eventually lead the loss of her edges and probably conditions like alopecia (I hope not). I just think that if one is going to be natural, one should be natural. Embrace it. Let that nappy hair show and let it grow towards the sun and be seen!!
