Thanks, gg for the thread!
In my part of Ohio, I haven't seen more women with natural hair, unless it is within my meetup group [we number 120+]. Now, if I am at my neighborhood Whole Foods, well, I might see 1 nappy @ week.
The reason why some mass retailers are carrying products for highly textured hair is because there is money to be made. Period. Perhaps this will broaden among more stores, but I guarantee you, if Miss Jessie's and Jane Carter don't see steady growth [and this is also among other ethnic groups that use their brand], it will revert to mail order/specialty store status.
Onward and upward with natural hair!

Nappturals are always popular in London, tho I'm noticing a trend for folks to perm/texturiser their children'a hair younger and younger, where America goes we follow (sadly in this score).

Yus! If nothing else great comes out of this natural hair movement, I really like the fact that more black women/men are becoming entrepreneurs, trying to bring the black hair care business back into our community. I love it. If anyone wants a good read on the history of our hair, and the hair care business and how it was stolen from the black community, read, "Hair Story" by Ayana D. Byrd and Lori L. Tharps.
I mean who knows, all of could be apart of hair history. Wouldn't that be cool?

More and more black owned underground natural hair/natural product businesses are becoming mainstream. Somebody at Lorreal, Johnson and Johnson and em' have to be taking notes....

Re: Just How Big is the Nappy Hair Movement?
Bumping because I was poking around the forum and came across this thread.
So here we are at the end of the decade. How big is the "nappy hair movement"? Dare I say it's big enough such that it's no longer a movement but just...regular-schmegular? What do y'all think?
Also: Happy Nappy New Year!Hello, 2021. Glad to see you. Hope you're bringing us goodness and light this year!

#regularschmegular
Great topic food for thought.
I think it was too successful.

Re: Just How Big is the Nappy Hair Movement?
It's so watered down, commercialized now. The creamy crack mentality pervades and the 'mission' is missing from the majority of folk that I encounter natural. They are natural as a fad, not a mission. I used to engage in meaningful conversations when I encountered another natural. Now, I don't bother. I just look. Even with locks. I get tired of the responses:
'I don't want locks bc I want natural hair' (le sigh), I don't like messy hair, I can't lock I'm a professional(me2 I manage a Division of 130 in a cancer center).
Am I alone?
