Everyday we hear about the ‘horrible economic downturn‘, the ‘impending depression‘, and the ‘contracting economy‘. Is it a recessed depression or a depressed recession? Even ‘THEY’ don’t know. We are told to spend or ELSE and in the same breath we are told save or ELSE. What does this have to do with nappy hair?

Has this ‘uncertain’ economy encouraged you to tighten your fiscal belt? Does the tightening include letting go of your relaxer and going napptural? Is this something you would ever consider?

Would your rather wear a wig?
