I was the manager of the department that sold Black hair care products in the late ‘70s.
I stocked those products weekly and saw the ingredients.
I was shocked.
Later in my life I helped a friend who’d always straightened/relaxed her hair go natural. She’d always wanted to, so I did the research for her.
She was beautiful. Her hair was beautiful.
Goddess help all Black women who were forced into a “beauty” standard that was fucking white.
