I wanted to add to the "natural" discussion :(
Dreading Methods
Wow I actually saw someone liken the neglect method to diet and exercise, and backcombing and tnr to diet pills and gastric bypass.As a holistic nutrition counselor, and someone who started by backcombing, I can only say that this is a very poor analogy.There are two debates going on here, obvious to some, but apparently not all since this is STILL going on.1) Neglect (with separating congos, so...?) versus starter methods (chemical free), and what should we call those methods?, and2) Chemical/product free vs. wax/chemicals & manicured locs.Yet, like the massive web that forms on so many of our heads during this process, it is all jumbled up into a cluster.Unfortunately, UNLIKE separating sections, I see no indication that we are moving toward any type of rewarding solution. People are ultimately losing site of any value to the community here and leaving because of the cannibalistic tone that is, seemingly, inevitably taking place.So what's the deal? Are we unable to agree that someone can express an opinion differing from ours, to which we can put our two cents, and then say "right on, brother/sister, one love?"Do we not realize that we are part of a galaxy of over 400 billion suns, which is one of another 400 billion galaxies, and living out a human experience together within a Reality beyond anything we can comprehend? Adventure. Big picture. Perspective...Is that over the top?
I guess I am just as much to blame, for responding, or better yet, even reading a post that I know is going to be redundant. Apparently, I still have some growing to do, as well.
